The essay outlines the development of the history of science and medicine in Croatia since the first half of the 20th century, addressing in more detail some recent research trends that seem to have the potential to reshape and reposition this relatively marginal field within the national academic landscape. It examines the origins and implication of the “historicization” of the history of science, as manifested in, among other things, tentative convergence between the history of science and medicine and “general” history. Also considered are changes in the understanding of what counts as science and who as a historian of science within a specialist community in a small country that has struggled with balancing between the national and wider contexts, and with embracing newer conceptual frameworks and methodological approaches.

克罗地亚科学史的最新趋势

这篇文章概述了自 20 世纪上半叶以来克罗地亚科学和医学史的发展，更详细地讨论了一些最近的研究趋势，这些趋势似乎有可能在国家学术格局中重塑和重新定位这个相对边缘的领域. 它考察了科学史“历史化”的起源和含义，尤其表现在科学和医学史与“一般”历史之间的试探性趋同。还考虑了在一个小国的专家社区内，对于什么是科学以及谁是科学史学家的理解的变化，该社区一直在努力平衡国家和更广泛的背景，并接受更新的概念框架和方法论方法。
