Polish Sociology - From 'October' to 'June' (1956-1989)
Joanna Kurczewska
Sociologický časopis / Czech Sociological Review 2005, 41(4): 641-658 | DOI: 10.13060/00380288.2005.41.4.07
Based on a systematic study of Polish sociological literature produced in the period stretching between the elevation of Wladyslaw Gomulka to the post of the Party's first secretary in October 1956 to the first free elections in Poland in June 1989, the author of this article offers an account of the main dilemmas and the varieties of pluralism in Polish sociology during the state socialist era. The author claims that, with the exception of the Stalinist period, Polish sociologists always occupied diverse positions on 'government' and 'society', but this diversity yielded to change in response to a particular time. Generally, in 1956-1989 Polish sociology...

Vera Szabari
Sociologický časopis / Czech Sociological Review 2005, 41(4): 659-674 | DOI: 10.13060/00380288.2005.41.4.08
The article offers a brief account of the history of Hungarian sociology during four decades of communist rule in Hungary. Beginning with the brief existence of the first department of sociology in Hungary (the 'Szalai Institute', 1946-1948) the author describes the field in the 1950s, when for political reasons sociology was marginalised to the point of extinction. The revival of sociology in Hungary during the 1960s is devoted considerable attention from an institutional, a personal and a doctrinal point of view. The author analyses the main branches of study in Hungarian sociology at the time, including critical sociology and the study of social...

"Many a Hungarian can't help being Hungarian": a Sociological Description of National Identification
Jarosław Kilias
Sociologický časopis / Czech Sociological Review 2005, 41(4): 675-692 | DOI: 10.13060/00380288.2005.41.4.09
This article discusses the topic of national identification. The author's aim is to define the appropriate conceptual framework for describing nationality, while taking into account the pluralistic character of the nation and the related contextual and multi-levelled nature of national identification. In the author's view, the concept of 'identification' more accurately applies to individual nationality than the category of identity does, owing to the latter's undesirable subjectivism, methodological individualism, and its occasional references to an over-intellectualised concept of the individual. Scientists who use the second of these two terms tend,...
