Shifting an institute’s emphasis from history to theory marginalizes established research priorities.

Evidence

However, because of the change in the emphasis of the Institute’s work from social history to social theory, topics and points of view which had previously enjoyed a monopoly were relegated to the sidelines. With the new concentration on collective work, such topics became merely areas of interest alongside others. To those who could not sympathize with the incorporation of their previous research into a larger framework, this must have seemed a humiliation and a betrayal. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 155
