Abstract

SOMMER, Vítězslav. An Unequal Alliance: Social Scientists as Experts in Socialist Czechoslovakia. This article examines the role of social scientific expertise in socialist Czechoslovakia. The first section centres on the 1950s, when the new social sciences that helped build the institutions and rules of the new regime were established. The roles of social scientists as experts are analysed during the reform era of the 1960s and the so-called consolidation regime of the 1970s. In the final part of this text, the 1980s are characterised as a period when the unequal alliance of the social sciences and the socialist state fell apart. The article demonstrates that studying the relationship of state policies towards social scientific expertise deepens our understanding of state socialist rule. Scrutinising the responses to demands imposed by the state and the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia (KSČ) on academia and expertise provides a fresh perspective on the attitudes of the educated middle class towards socialism as a political project and an everyday reality.
不平等的联盟:社会主义捷克斯洛伐克的社会科学家专家
索默,VítŞzslav。一个不平等的联盟:社会科学家作为社会主义捷克斯洛伐克的专家。本文考察了社会科学专门知识在社会主义捷克斯洛伐克的作用。第一节以20世纪50年代为中心,当时建立了新的社会科学,帮助建立了新政权的制度和规则。在20世纪60年代的改革时代和70年代所谓的巩固制度期间,分析了社会科学家作为专家的作用。在本文的最后部分,20世纪80年代被描述为社会科学和社会主义国家的不平等联盟分崩离析的时期。文章表明,研究国家政策与社会科学专门知识的关系,加深了我们对国家社会主义统治的理解。仔细审查对国家和捷克斯洛伐克共产党(KSČ)对学术界和专业知识提出的要求的回应,可以从一个新的角度来看待受过教育的中产阶级对社会主义作为一个政治项目和日常现实的态度。
