The Creative Aspect of Country Branding - How Music Is Able to Influence the Country Image in Case of Hungary
“Music is a fundamental channel of communication: through music people can share emotions, intentions and thoughts even though their spoken languages may be mutually incomprehensible.” (Hargreaves – Miell – McDonald, 2002) It can be a supporting baseline, which helps people and skilled composers to find their way to express their deep and profound emotional life and imagination.
In fact, music is present in our lives everywhere playing a greater part than ever before. The rapid technological development made it possible to listen to music every time and everywhere through the commercialization and economic power of music.
But how is music connected to country branding and nation image? The answer is quite simple: music can be a source of a wide range of associations. When we listen to a song featuring a country’s original characteristics, the nation itself pops into our mind with all of its typical symbols, inhabitants – briefly the image of a country.
The key question in my paper is how music is able to influence the country image. The main objective of this paper is to uncover the linkage between music and country image and to draw a model based on Anholt-hexagon (2003) that can be used by practitioners as well. The paper’s novelty lies in the synthesis of theoretical approaches, which were not applied and connected to each other before according to secondary research. Nevertheless, the topic’s nature requires several examples from practical life as well: international and Hungarian case studies, moreover primary research were applied.

Marvel Comics Library. Spider-Man. Vol. 1. 1962-1964
When Stan Lee first pitched the idea of Spider-Man in 1962, his boss was full of objections: People hate spiders. Teenagers aren't lead characters; they're sidekicks. He should be glamorous and successful, not a friendless loser. But Stan persisted and Martin Goodman let him give the unlikely hero a tryout in Amazing Fantasy, which was already slated for cancellation. With Spider-Man on the cover, No. 15 shot to the top of Marvel's best-seller list for the year, and the rest is history.
Amazing Spider-Man, which debuted seven months later, broke the comics mold. Peter Parker lived in uncool Queens, was always broke, continually worried about his Aunt May, was unlucky in love, and was constantly getting yelled at by his boss, Daily Bugle publisher J. Jonah Jameson. Spider-Man had the quips and confidence that Parker lacked, but learning to use his powers wasn't always easy. He often seemed on the verge of defeat against the rogue's gallery of classic foes that debuted in the first couple of years: Vulture, Doctor Octopus, Sandman, Lizard, Electro, Kraven the Hunter, Mysterio, and the Green Goblin. Much of the credit for Spider-Man's greatness goes to co-creator and artist Steve Ditko, who had a knack for portraying teenagers and their problems. His artwork infused Spider-Man with a loose-limbed energy, and, while maybe everyone was scared of spiders, Ditko made swinging through New York seem like the coolest adventure ever.
This XXL-sized collector's dream, close in size to the original artworks, features the first 21 stories of the world's favorite web slinger from 1962-1964. Rather than recolor the original artwork (as has been done in previous decades' reprints of classic comics), TASCHEN has attempted to create an ideal representation of these books as they were produced at the time of publication. The most pristine pedigreed comics have been cracked open and photographed for reproduction in close collaboration with Marvel and the Certified Guaranty Company. Each page has been photographed as printed more than half a century ago, then digitally remastered using modern retouching techniques to correct problems with the era's inexpensive, imperfect printing-as if hot off of a world-class 1960s printing press. Three different paper stocks, including an uncoated and woodfree paper, were exclusively developed for this series to simulate the feel of the original comics.
Peter Lindbergh. Untold Stories
The first-ever exhibition curated by Peter Lindbergh himself, shortly before his untimely death, Untold Stories at the Dusseldorf Kunstpalast served as a blank canvas for the photographer's unrestrained vision and creativity. Given total artistic freedom, Lindbergh curated an uncomprimising collection that sheds an unexpected light on his colossal oeuvre. This book, the official companion to the landmark exhibition, offers an extensive, firsthand look at the highly personal collection.
Renowned the world over, Lindbergh's images have left an indelible mark on contemporary culture and photo history. Here, the photographer experiments with his own oeuvre and narrates new stories while staying true to his lexicon. In both emblematic and never-before-seen images, he challenges his own icons and presents intimate moments shared with personalities who had been close to him for years, including Nicole Kidman, Uma Thurman, Robin Wright, Jessica Chastain, Jeanne Moreau, Naomi Campbell, Charlotte Rampling and many more.
This XL volume presents more than 150 photographs--many of them unpublished or short-lived, often having been commissioned by monthly fashion magazines such as Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, Interview, Rolling Stone, W Magazine, or The Wall Street Journal. An extensive conversation between Lindbergh and Kunstpalast director Felix Kramer, as well as an homage by close friend Wim Wenders, offer fresh insights into the making of the collection. The result is an intimate personal statement by Lindbergh about his work.
Príbehy 20. storočia - Boj o pravdu
Verte v pravdu. Zriecť sa faktov znamená zriecť sa slobody.
Timothy Snyder: O tyranii
Už stáročia prebieha neúnavný boj za pravdu a proti nej. Našou zbraňou v tomto boji môžu byť vedomosti, kvalitné zdroje a úcta k faktom. V novom čísle štvrťročníka Príbehy 20. storočia sme sa preto pozreli, ako sa manipulovala pravda naprieč storočiami, aj na to, ako môžu klamstvá, hoaxy a konšpiračné teórie ničiť ľudské životy či rozhádať rodiny.
Pripravili sme okrem iného rozhovor s odborníčkou na konšpiračné teórie Zuzanou Panczovou, ktorá hovorí o paralelách medzi správaním ľudí počas súčasnej pandémie a cholerových epidémií v 19. storočí, aj o tom, ako nedôvera v štát pomáha klamstvám a hoaxom. Matej Beránek z Múzea holokaustu v Seredi vysvetľuje, ako konšpiračné teórie o rituálnych vraždách a pripisovanie protinárodného správania Židom viedlo k vzniku pamfletu, na ktorom svoje obvinenia dodnes stavajú extrémisti z celého sveta.
V čísle nájdete aj texty odborníka na dezinformácie Tomáša Kriššáka a novinára Vladimíra Šnídla, podľa ktorých nesmieme rezignovať na vysvetľovanie neprávd.
Diskusie v internetovom prostredí sú často skreslené a vyhrotené. S vzájomným rešpektom však dokážeme aspoň malú časť ľudí presvedčiť, že svet v skutočnosti neovládajú tajné spolky a že existujú zdroje, ktoré majú od overovania faktov a serióznej novinárčiny ďaleko. Príkladom je aj aktivista a dnes poslanec Ján Benčík, ktorého text je v našom čísle taktiež.
V časopise nájdete okrem príbehov pamätníkov, rozhovory s osobnosťami, reportáže, komentáre, recenzie, štúdie, literárnu prílohu a mnoho ďalšieho. Keďže časopis slúži aj ako didaktická pomôcka pre učiteľov, jeho súčasťou sú aj metodické listy, ktoré nadväzujú na publikované príbehy v časopise.

Love Her or Lose Her
The #1 New York Times bestselling author of It Happened One Summer and Hook, Line, and Sinker returns with a unique, sexy rom-com about a young married couple whose rocky relationship needs a serious renovation...
Rosie and Dominic Vega are the perfect couple: high school sweethearts, best friends, madly in love. Well, they used to be anyway. Now Rosie's lucky to get a caveman grunt from the ex-soldier every time she walks in the door. Dom is faithful and a great provider, but the man she fell in love with ten years ago is nowhere to be found. When her girlfriends encourage Rosie to demand more out of life and pursue her dream of opening a restaurant, she decides to demand more out of love, too. Three words: marriage boot camp.
Never in a million years did Rosie believe her stoic, too-manly-to-emote husband would actually agree to relationship rehab with a weed-smoking hippie. Dom talking about feelings? Sitting on pillows? Communing with nature? Learning love languages? Nope. But to her surprise, he's all in, and it forces her to admit her own role in their cracked foundation. As they complete one ridiculous-yet surprisingly helpful-assignment after another, their remodeled relationship gets stronger than ever. Except just as they're getting back on track, Rosie discovers Dom has a secret... and it could demolish everything.
Hakon's Saga
All four books in Eric Schumacher's 'Hakon's Saga', a series of historical fiction set in medieval Scandinavia and Europe, now in one volume!
Mollebakken: Viking Age Norway’s greatest king, Harald Fairhair, has unified the northern districts into a kingdom, but as he ages and his body weakens, so too does his realm. To keep the kingdom from fracturing, Harald abdicates his High Seat to the one son he believes capable enough – and vicious enough – to rule: Erik Bloodaxe. But hatred between the brothers leads to an unavoidable confrontation on a rain-soaked hill called Mollebakken – a hill that will decide who will rule and who will die.
God's Hammer: It is 935 A.D. and the North is in turmoil. To solidify his claim to the throne, Erik Bloodaxe ruthlessly disposes of all claimants to his throne, save one: his youngest brother Hakon. Erik's surviving enemies send a ship to Wessex, where the Christian count of King Athelstan is raising Hakon. Unable to avoid his fate, he returns to the Viking North to face his brother and claim his birthright, only to discover that victory will demand sacrifices beyond his wildest nightmares.
Raven's Feast: The land-hungry Danes are pressing from the south to test Hakon before he can solidify his rule. In the east, the Uplanders are making their own plans to seize the throne. It does not help that Hakon is committed to his dream of Christianizing his people - a dream his countrymen do not share and will fight to resist. As his enemies move in and his realm begins to crumble, Hakon and his band of oath-sworn warriors must make their stand.
War King: A tempest is brewing in the North. The sons of Erik Bloodaxe have come to reclaim his former throne and avenge the wrong done to their father and their kin. With them marches an army of sword-Danes sent by the Danish King, Harald Bluetooth, whose desire to expand his realm is as powerful as the lust for vengeance that pulses in the veins of Erik’s brood. Like storm-driven waves, the opposing forces collide, and when they do, Hakon is left with no choice but to face the tempest and resist.
