Slovak Culture Culture: Synopsis Featured Exhibitions Historical Cultural Synopsis The emergence of culture and of Slovak national literature came late. Elements of the Slovakian spoken language appeared in literary texts during the centuries preceding the 18th century, but Anton Bernolák (1762-1813) was the first who attempted to create a literary language. Bernolák's language was used by two talented writers, Jozef Ignác Bajza (1755-1836), the author of the first Slovakian novel, and the famous classical poet Ján Hollý (1785-1849), who wrote his epic poems in alexandrine verse in order to prove the Slovakian language malleable enough to be equal to complicated forms of ancient poetry. 19th Century This language, based on the dialect from central Slovakia, was adopted by the entire nation. Inspired by the Helegian philosophy, he developed the concept of Slovakian romanticism, whose main characteristics are the pre-eminence of patriotic thought and the attachment to popular traditions. During the difficult period of forced "Hungary-isation" that followed the missed revolution of 1948, a few writers endeavoured to maintain the morale of a population progressively stripped of its' culture.

Featured Articles Anti-Slovak Signs in Hungary Follow Anti-Hungarian in Slovakia from CTK, Defamatory anti-Slovak inscriptions appeared in Bekescsaba, the center of the Slovak ethnic minority in Hungary, in the night of Saturday after insulting signs were found in Bratislava and Kosice, east Slovakia, earlier this week, Slovak Radio reported today. The director of the Slovak Culture House in Bekescsaba told the radio that she had found sprayed swastikas and huge inscriptions in Hungarian reading "Nazi Slovaks," "Slovaks- fascists" and "Victims of Slovak fascists" on the walls of the house which also shelters a branch office of the Slovak consulate this morning. "The inscription on another building is so obscene that it cannot be sent into the air," the radio reporter said. Neither the Slovak Culture House director nor the town's Hungarian vice-mayor have knowledge of any such event having occurred in one and a half centuries of the two nations' coexistence in the town. The Bekescsaba mayor said that the hooliganism had not had political background and that it was rather a case for a doctor.

Poverty has also increased, particularly among single mothers and the elderly. In recent years, tensions have mounted between the Slovak government and Hungarians residing in Slovakia. Many Hungarians have complained of discrimination and have pressed for educational and cultural autonomy in addition to the right to use Hungarian as their official language. Tensions have also increased at the local level in areas populated by both Slovaks and ethnic Hungarians.
