The author here attempts to pinpoint the place of the historian Karel Kaplan (b. 1928) in the context of Czech historiography of the last half century, to show the changes in the basic tendencies characterizing his work, and to consider his role in the formation of the fi eld of contemporary history in the Czech Republic. Kaplan is perhaps the most prolifi c and most translated Czech historian living today. His career is emblematic of the path taken by Czech research on contemporary history and its writing.

This article is a response to a recent debate on resistance to state socialism in Cze - choslovakia. It focuses on the methods used in contemporary Czech research on the ‘Third Resistance’. The author begins by outlining developments in historical and other research on resistance. He considers in particular works by British Marxist historians in the 1950s and 1960s, James C. Scott’s concept of ‘everyday forms of resistance’, and the Indian school of ‘Subaltern Studies’ over the next two decades. He also presents some influential typologies of resistance, with special attention paid to German research on resistance to Nazism and state socialism, American research on resistance in the Stalinist era, and controversies that emerged amongst scholars in these areas. From the perspective of this international research, he then analyzes Czech scholarship on the ‘Third Resistance’. In his conclusion, the author offers possible ways out of what he sees as the currently desolate state of research on the topic, hoping thereby to provide an impulse to the historiographical debate.
