The Discontinuous History of Hungarian Sociology. Zoltán Rostás’ interview with Vera Szabari

Summary/Abstract: In 2021, the volume titled Discontinuities, Hungarian Sociology between 1960‑2010 was published, and on this occasion we talked to the editor of the volume, Vera Szabari, about the history of Hungarian sociology. In the interview, the editor talks about the changes in Hungarian sociological research areas in the decades after the 1960s and about how sociology, which was revived in the 1960s, found itself at the crossroads between the categories of support, tolerance and interdiction (the famous censorship principle of the era). The interview also touches upon the institutional evolution of the network of sociology between the 1960s and 1980s, and the development of the foreign relation dynamics during the socialist years. Finally, the development of the main research fields after the regime change and the social and critical function of Hungarian sociology were reviewed
