| Title | Knowledge Production in Communist Hungary. The Case of Interwar Era Interpretations 1971-1983 |
| Summary | My thesis discusses the change that occurred in the academic historical discussion concerning the interwar era during the period 1971-1983, in Communist Hungary. The analysis shows first what political and institutional circumstances secured the framework of this new discourse. The second component of the research was concerned with the scholarly discussion in which fellows of the Academy participated with their publications. Clearly, there was a chronological logic in the opening up of certain historical topics, among which the interwar period was almost the last. The thesis discusses three important topics that were subject to research: the terminology concerning the political nature of the Horthy era, the evaluation of the social democratic party and the Hungarian-German relations. Although several taboos survived, the discursive change in the investigated period led to a more complex understanding of the Horthy era. |
