In October 97 the Media Research Foundation published BULLDOZER, a 220
page anthology of contemporary media theory in Hungarian. (ISSN:
1417-6033). Although the material in the book is also available
(readable + downloadable) for free, in the spirit of anti-copyright, on
two sites on the net (http://www.mrf.hu and in the Hungarian Electronic
Library), BULLDOZER became an immediate hit, and was the 3rd among the
bestsellers in October in one of the most prestigious bookstores in
Budapest. The following is the Table of Contents from Bulldozer.
