The previous two international conferences were also hosted by the University of Debrecen in 2014 and 2019. Both then and now, the event provided a forum for domestic and international historiographers to present their research results and exchange ideas and experience.
- The theme of this year's conference will also be historiography, i.e. the presentation of the results of various research projects on the history of Hungarian and international historiography. This year, the historiography of dictatorships has been given a prominent place in the theme, research on which we have already begun with the University of Paris, and the results of which have been published in our latest conference volume (Approaches to Historiography II, Debrecen, 2022)," Debrecen, 2022)," Vilmos Erős, Associate Professor of the Department of Medieval and Early Modern Hungarian History and Ancillary Studies at the Institute of History, DE BTK, and the main organizer of the conference, told hirek.unideb.hu.
Christoph Araujo (Paris, Université Nanterre), Jan Van Muilekom (University of Groningen), Irina Mychailova (University of Venice) and Fatih Durgun (Istanbul University) were the foreign participants, while from the Hungarian institutions, besides the host University of Debrecen, lecturers from the Eötvös Loránd University, the University of Szeged and the University of Veszprém, among others, gave presentations.
- As the organiser, I consider it a particularly important aspect that, in addition to Hungarian and foreign experts, PhD students were also given the opportunity to present their work and results, and to gain international experience through presentations in foreign languages - English, German, French - - emphasised Vilmos Erős.
Vilmos Erős's ambitious monograph on István Szabó (Populus, plebs, rusticus, Budapest, 2022), a nationally renowned Debrecen historian, also defended as an academic doctoral dissertation, was presented at the conference, based on the review of the recently deceased academic István Orosz, by György Miru, Associate Professor of the non-independent Department of Modern Hungarian History at the Institute of History of the University of Debrecen.
The launch programme also included Korunk 2024/4 on 20th century Hungarian historians, and the internationally renowned Professor Stefan Berger's History and Identity (Oxford, 2022).
The papers presented at the conference will be published in Approaches to Historiography III, in collaboration with the University of Bochum.
