Abstracts

EN

The author compares various common or varying features of Slovak historiography in the period between 1991 and 2011. He points to the internal differentiation of views within Slovak historiography. These do not derive from expert aspects of basic scientific research, but more from different views on the purpose of historical work. He also devotes attention to the permanent tension between historiography and political elites, which usually seek in history pragmatic confirmation of their own views and aims.
