This study provides an analysis of the texts that have been published in journal 'Sociologia/Slovak Sociological Review' and have formed its character. It takes a predominantly descriptive approach and aims to summarize the main historiographical facts that were related to the journal. The analytical part of this study consists mainly of an overview of themes and citations of articles that have been published during the four decades of its existence. There have been two milestones in the history of the journal: the onset of post-1968 'normalization', reflected in the review since 1971, and democratization after 1989, manifested in the following year. The study is divided into four parts, each dealing with one of the four decades. Promising beginnings were superseded by scientific communism during the 'normalization' period. Indications of change, connected with a critique of ideological and regime-serving sociology, came in the late 1980s and were followed soon after by the major break in 1989. The change of regime brought about not only the disappearance of Marxism but also did away with some of the most frequently researched topics of the former period. The new millennium has brought along the reflections on globalization and the emergence of new, non-traditional themes.

The article deals with the liberal youth movement 'Hlasisti' (Hlasists), associated with and named after the journal 'Hlas', at the turn of 19th and 20th centuries. The movement emergence and ideas were markedly influenced by the Czech philosopher and sociologist Tomás G. Masaryk. Under his influence, Hlasists declared their affiliation to positivism, rationalism, evolutionism and scientism. Hlasists primarily attempted to modernise and emancipate the Slovak nation, which was under threat of assimilation in the Hungarian empire. The Hlasists' sociology fulfilled an instrumental function in the Slovak national socio-political program. The Hlasists sociological thought eclectically adopted the sociological concepts developed by the acclaimed foreign scholars, granting sociology the status of well-respected though not distinctively profiled scientific discipline. The Hlasists sociology focused on the social groups among which the particular attention was paid to the nation and its formation. The Hlasists adopted the contemporary psychologising sociological concepts (later turning to voluntarist approach) in order to define on one hand the Slovak nation against 'the Others' - the Jewish and Hungarian nations, and on the other hand bringing closer together the Slovak and Czech nations through highlighting their common features. The Hlasists analysis of the social structure of the Slovak nation ascertained the inevitability to build a strong Slovak middle class. This could be accomplished through the national economic development, which in Hlasists conception of agrarianism was to take place in the Slovak countryside.
