Attila Pók: Hungarian Medievalists under the Spell of Marxism

Attila Pók, our institute’s permanent researcher and senior advisor, has published his latest paper in a special volume of studies, published by Brill.

This volume is a unique publication as it examines the Marxist attitudes in East Central European historiography and archaeology for the first time, with an emphasis on the co-existence of Marxist and other methodologies between the 1950s and 1970s in the local historiographies in question. Its approach is to distinguish between pseudo-Marxism as an ideological tool on the one hand, and Marxism in the form of historical materialism as a way to interpret the medieval world on the other.
