"The present volume offers a new account of the activities of International Association for the History of Religions during the Cold War. By focusing on the IAHR membership of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences in 1957, the book reconsiders the impact of the Iron Curtain. Valerio Severino examines unpublished international correspondences, bureaucratic requests, confidential reports submitted by the delegates after their participation in congresses in Western Europe and the USA. Facts and insights about leading Hungarian scholars and internal processes of the IAHR are reconstructed in detail. Through doing so, Severino is able to evaluate the permeability of the Iron Curtain, the exchange of knowledge between the opposing blocs, the ideological control exercised through the Academy and the ways in which academics subjected their work to this obligation"--

Severino studies how the International Association for the History of Religions-IA(S)HR-worked to un(b)lock flows of knowledge on religion across the Iron Curtain, and fostered the ideal of science community as an "open society" during the Cold War. He focuses on Hungary as the first Socialist, Warsaw Pact country to join the Association, in 1957. His topics include the first IA(S)HR congress (Rome 1955) at the dawn of the Warsaw Pact, the affiliation of the Hungarian Academy of Science to the IA(S)HR in the context of the October 1956 uprising, early activities of the Academy, and openings and closures during the second half of the 1960s.
