ABSTRACT.
The aim of this paper is to analysis the historiographical field in late socialist Romania, by looking at those historians having high institutional positions within the field in 1985. Our goal is not to discuss the individual themselves, but rather to use this case-study in order to define and characterize the milieu of history-writing as a social and professional structure. Our theoretical and methodological apparatus is built on the works of Pierre Bourdieu, using extensively concepts such as field, capital, habitus, strategy and autonomy, while taking into account their limitations when applied to a socialist system. The research design of this paper implied creating a biographical database, consisting in information regarding the biography of each dean and director, active in their leadership position in 1985. Therefore, information was gathered about Ion Agrigoroaiei, Dumitru Berciu, Gheorghe I. Ioniţă, Camil Mureşanu, Ştefan Pascu, Mircea Petrescu-Dâmboviţa, Ion Popescu-Puţuri, Constantin Preda, Ştefan Ştefănescu.
Keywords: historiography, sociology of history writing, intellectuals in late socialism, academic careers, and institutions.
