Mirjana Gross and Eric Hobsbawm: Revolutionary or Longue Durée Historians? (Summary)
Marino Badurina
Sažetak
Through the personality, work and texts of historians Mirjana Gross and Eric Hobsbawm, this paper tries to compare their professional, methodological, but also ideological starting points, their influence in the context of time, especially the econd half and the end of the 20th century, when historiography was undergoing major transformations and an attempt was made to constitute itself as a full-fledged social science while preserving its own critical position and autonomy. It also went through the antithetical dance between modernity and tradition, revolution and longue durée, both as phenomena and historiographical approaches. Gross and Hobsbawm, due to similar scientific ambitions, long professional experience and personal longevity, also because of thematic similarities (movements, revolutions, ideologies, nations, nationalisms, etc.), their (Central) European cultural formation and finally involvement in international theoretical and methodological debates, are the best subjects for possible comparative insights, especially in the framework of Croatian historiography, where otherwise there is a lack of similar comparison between historians.
