ABSTRACT:
If a single term were to be highlighted from Sándor Varga’s 2023 publication, it would be “transformation.” This is not only because the term appears in both the book’s title and in the titles of seven chapters, but also because it highlights a process that has increasingly characterised the research of Hungarian folk dance culture over the past one and a half decades.
