Hajnal István recepciója az 1930-as, 1940-es években

Abstract

The study examines the influence of István Hajnal’s social theory in the 1930s and 1940s. Among Hajnal’s followers, one might distinguish between two entirely different groups. On the one hand, Hajnal’s theoretical achievements were employed by paleographers (as Géza Istványi, Kálmán Guoth, Loránd Szilágyi). On the other hand, his theory was applied by researchers of contemporary peasantry, sociologists and sociographers (as Ferenc Erdei, Jolán Majlát, István Márkus) as an interpretative framework for their findings.
