Abstract

Svrha je ovog rada ukratko predstaviti proučavanje i problem primjene koncepta totalitarizma u suvremenoj historiografiji, prateći pritom razvoj koncepta na temelju genealogije Enza Traversa, kao i razvoj same historiografije, s obzirom da su promjene u disciplini utjecale i na status navedenog pojma, koji je u pojedinim vremenskim razdobljima predstavljao i točku prijepora u široj znanstvenoj zajednici. Različiti pristupi proučavanja koncepta totalitarizma obrađeni su na temelju dvije studije slučaja totalitarizma: filozofske studije Hannah Arendt „Izvori totalitarizma“ (1951) te politološke studije Zbigniewa Brzezinskog i Carla J. Friedricha „Totalitarian dictatorship and autocracy“ (1956). Kritičkim promišljanjem dominatnih teorija totalitarizma stvoreni su novi potencijali njegove upotrebe u suvremenoj historiografiji, što je neophodno, s obzirom na njegovu sveprisutnost i instrumentalizaciju u javnom diskursu.

Abstract (english)

The main purpose of this paper is to present different studies and problems of using the concept of totalitarianism in modern historiography while following the evolution of the mentioned concept based on genealogy of Enzo Traverso. By doing so, the development of the historiography is also being observed considering how its changes had an effect on the status of the concept which in certain time periods represented a point of dispute in a wider scientific community. These different approaches of researching the concept of totalitarianism are presented through Hannah Adrendts philosophical study „The Origins of Totalitarianism” (1951.) and political study of Zbigniew Brzezinsky and Carl J. Friedrich „Totalitarian dictatorship and autocracy“ (1956.). With critical reflection on dominant theories of totalitarianism, new potential of his use in modern historiography was created, which is (as it shows) necessary, considering his presence and instrumentalization in public discourse.
