Generally formulated, this term stands for a large international community of people who share a sense of belonging to Russian culture and Russian language and share a “devotion to the values of Russian civilization”. The formation of the concept of Russkij Mir by the Russian elite and its implementation into politics can be interpreted as the result of efforts to overcome the deep crisis that hit, after the break-up of the Soviet Union, the Russian Federation and other post-Soviet states. Moreover, it can be seen as one of the results of the search for a new Russian identity under new social, political and international conditions that appeared after 1991. The aim of this study is to outline the creation of this important Russian project though a historical sketch and ethnocultural argumentation. Moreover, this study points out its current ...

Široce pojatá oblast Plzeňska je přitom chápána jako integrální součást střední Evropy, pro kterou byly různě vnímané podoby kulturních přesahů, diferencí či shod vždy charakteristické a nejednou inspirativní. Vzhledem ke geografické lokalizaci je v knize značná pozornost věnována českým Němcům a českoněmeckým vztahům, a to na příkladu dnes již zaniklého plzeňského německého divadla, stereotypů o ne-češích, urbánních mýtech a jiných tématech.Projekt PREKULTA (Prezentace kulturního dědictví příhraniční oblasti Tachovska) financován z Programu přeshraniční spolupráce Česká republika – Svobodný stát Bavorsko Cíl EÚS 2014–2020

After a brief outline of the demographic development of the city, thestudy focuses on one marginal group, the local Czechs, and then on one dominant urban ethno-congregationalgroup, the local Jewish community. Czechs living in Odessa are taken as an example ofa group that is nationally conscious, but numerically non-distinctive one whose minority life wasrather at the level of informal activities. In contrary, the Odessa „Jews“ can be described as one ofthe most remarkable components of the city’s population for the period under review, populationthat was at that time undergoing the process of internal identity differentiation. While the Czechsrepresented only a minor element in the context of the transnational environment of the city, thesignificance of the Jewish intellectual life far outstripped the local context of the Northern BlackSea. In this context, it...

Součástí pracoviště jsou rovněž výzkumně pedagogické moduly zastou-pené Laboratoří biologické antropologie, Centrem aplikované antropologie a terénního vý-zkumu a Studiem vizuální etnografie. Katedra antropologie garantuje výuku bakalář-ského studijního oboru a navazujících magisterských studijních oborů Sociokulturní antropologie a Antropologie populací minulosti. Pro výjimečně nadané a motivované studenty katedra zajišťuje doktorský studijní obor Etnologie. Termín "etnologie" vnímáme v duchu středoevropské badatelské tradice jako označení vědecké disciplíny, která se z empirického, historického a srovnávacího hlediska zabývá životními formami a kulturními projevy etnických a sociálních sku-pin obvykle (ale ne výhradně) v evropském kontextu.

The general problem of ethnic competition is first addressed, then the specific example of the South Tyrolese who were resettled in Southern Bohemia is taken up as a case of Nazi ethnic policies. About five hundred residents of the German-speaking Fersenthal (Valle de Fersina) in the Trentino region were resettled, by plan, in the area around the city of Budweis during 1942/43. The unsuccessful attempt to settle Tyrolese in Bohemia provides a historical example of trying to resolve ethnic problems with so-called resettlement policies

The emphasis is put on its institutionalization and association with ideological concepts of the time. The ethnographical interest in Germans living in the Czech Lands dates back to the beginning of the 19th century. It focused on the lifestyle of the geographically and linguistically divided population. The disappearing traditions maintained in village communities were considered the most appropriate subject of study. After the establishment of the Czechoslovak Republic, German ethnographers concentrated on topics related to the strengthening of identity of the new German society which became part of the Republic. This development enhanced the prestige of ethnography, which facilitated its institutionalization in the academic environment. During the interwar years, ethnography was considered an appropriate academic discipline that could legitimize many politically-related cla...

The end of the First World War, disintegration of Austria- Hungary and subsequent incorporation of the lands of historical Hungarian Rus into Czechoslovak state presented the Czechoslovak authorities with the vital need to solve numerous problems related to the ethnic and cultural peculiarities and national identity of the local East Slavic population. Czech ethnographers and officials played an important role in the development of the main directions of the specific policy of the Czechoslovak administration in Subcarpathian Rus. In their practical recommendations to the central government Czech officials tried to take into account the social, cultural, and linguistic characteristics of the local population as well as the geopolitical interests of Czechoslovakia in that strategically i...
