Biográfia- és kultuszépítési technikák Bogner Mária és Kaszap István életrajzainak tükrében

Abstract

A new wave of modern Jesuit-linked religious cults appeared in Hungary in the 1930s. There were three people in the focus of the cults: Margaret Bogner visitation nun, Stephen Kaszap and Kálmán Torma Jesuit novices. All the three of them died very young after long-suffering. In our study we were examining through their biographies the way the authors were discussing their life, and the kind of narrative techniques they were using. They reflect the roots of those achievements that can be considered as final-scores of their lives back at their earlier life-periods. As a result these people appear from the very beginning as characters who were led by their destiny. They can build up the biography (according to the moral-values of the author) as the dichotomy of good and bad, strengthening those values which are expected during practising the cults. Each of the sources - based on different levels of actualizations -shows the lives of the three for the reader - explicit or implicit (with pedagogical intent) - as an example to follow
