Napoleon of Czech ethnology: a biographical sketch on Antonín Robek

• Languages of publication: CS

Abstracts

EN

The study acquaints the readers with the life story of one of the leading personalities of Czech ethnology in the second half of the 20th century - University Professor PhDr. Antonín Robek, DrSc. - the leader of the Department of Ethnography and Folkloristics at the Faculty of Arts, Charles University in Prague, and the accredited director of the Institute of Ethnography and Folkloristics of the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences. The biographical sketch is based on the combination of biographical research, oral history method and analysis of historical sources. The resulting image is an intersection of the fundamentally subjective memories that the oldest and middle generations of Czech ethnographers and ethnologists have of Antonín Robek, with hitherto (un)published information about his person and activities. .
