The study of the historicity and change processes of dance culture requires a specific theoretical methodology in dance anthropology and dance folklore studies, especially since such research has been relatively rare in the Hungarian anthropological scene and has produced a number of questionable results in the field of dance folklore studies. several aspects of an anthropological approach, as well as adopting a comparative and interpretive approach to critical dance studies can assist in deploying a historical perspective in the examination of dance culture. On the other hand, I will also argue that certain schools of the research methodology of social history may facilitate this as well. Utilizing the findings of new social history can also greatly enrich the current methodology of historical dance research.

Tanulmányomban Ádám Jenő munkásságát, valamint a református gyülekezeti énekek dallamát feldolgozó egyházzenei kompozícióit mutatom be. Kodály Zoltán neve mellett az övé elhalványul, pedig a zenepedagógia területén igen jelentős értéket teremtett: a mester elveit ő ültette gyakorlatba, több évtizedes, szorgalmas munkával, nemzedékek zenei oktatását segítve. Egyházzenei művei által a gyülekezeti énekkarok repertoárja gazdagodott.

The idea of moving the theological education from Nagyenyed/Aiud to Kolozsvár/Cluj was born in the middle of the 19th century. Domokos Szász, former reformed priest from Kolozsvár/Cluj, and from 1885 bishop of the Transylvanian Reformed Church, was the most prominent supporter of founding the new centre of theological training in Kolozsvár/Cluj. After long debates and preparations, the construction of the new theological institute was completed in 1895. The current study presents the press debates around this event, offering an insight into press articles published in Kolozsvár/Cluj, concentrating mainly on the Erdélyi Híradó (Transylvanian News) a newspaper supporting the party opposing the moving of the theological training to Kolozsvár/Cluj. These articles throw light on the diverging positions regarding this event.

Csalódást fogok okozni, ha azt képzelik, hogy én borúlátó ember vagyok. Egész életem és szolgálatom arról szólt, hogy dacolva a statisztikák negatív adataival, teljesen pozitív életképet, Erdély- és magyarságképet hirdettem, amelyet most szeretnék elétekbe is tárni.
