The study gives an analysis of impact of Karl Marx and Max Weber and their classic theories on the development of the social historiography. Marx and Weber not only stood with their theoretical works behind the foundation of modern social sciences but generated homogenous concepts of historical development. Marxsist concepts of socioeconomic formations and class struggle are usually interpreted in sharp contrast to Weberian theories of rationalization and types of domination (Herrschaft). Certainly one can agree that up to the present day both systems are of extreme explicative potential. The opinion which of these systems adequately describes social reality of historical periods and the dynamics of historical change became during the 20th century the distinctive mark of individual research approaches in social history. Marx’s and Weber’s work unquestionablyinfluenced the classics of modern social history, from British Marxists associated with the journal Past and Present and History Workshop, following the founders of Bielefeld school to the post-modern trends of microhistory, historical anthropology and so-called linguistic turn. The main contribution of this study is therefore the reflection of those impacts that up to the present day ultimately determine the debates on the key term of the social history — the character of the “Social”.

The article is focused upon the issue of the tourism in Czechoslovakia after the WWII. The article depicts differences between the Czech Tourist Club (Klub českých turistů) and the Czechoslovak Tourist Society (Československá obec turistická) with respect to other development of the Czech tourism. The author analyses the statements that on the one side perceive touring as a part of the tourism and on the other perceive it as a part of the physical exercise. The text deals also with a political influence and standings of the political parties, first and foremost of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia (Komunistická strana Československa). The work makes use of the archive sources from the Czech National Archive.

Different opinions are a natural part of each human community and this is the case of the Jewish community in Uherské Hradiště in the second half of the 19th century, too. The conflicts in this newly founded community were of many kinds: from opinion differences as for management of the Jewish religious community to a struggle to reform a synagogical liturgy and personal aversion of particular members of the community. By means of an analysis of several disputes the author shows that they escalated mainly at the moment when the chairman of the Jewish religious community took advantage of his power and did not hear the criticism. His opponents then turned to various institutions with their complaints as for violations of the society statutes. The authorities nevertheless would refuse to deal with these internal conflicts, that is why the critics would leave the society and then use their energy in founding a new Jewish institution of an educational or charity character. Leaving the Jewish religious society however did not mean leaving the whole Jewish community or founding an alternative Jewish community, but it stood for a decentralization of the community due to which the friction areas within it could have been weakened. When the conflicts inside the Uherské Hradiště Jewish society calmed down these alternative institutions could be then integrated into the Jewish religious society. The article helps then to differentiate some important internal mechanisms but also to find out what a character the discussions about the direction of local Judaism had.

This article assesses the historical consciousness of German travellers who visited Bohemia in the period between 1750 and 1850. Through an analysis of the German travel literature about Bohemia, the goal is to identify such geographical sites that were associated with important historical events and to examine the interpretation of historical events. The focus on the period of one hundred years between 1750 and 1850 allows for the analyses of the transformation of historical memories and the study of those memories in the context of emerging national identities. The article shows that travellers and authors of the travel literature set the historical remembrances within the interpretative framework of a national historical narrative.

This article analyzes the regulation of prostitution and attempts to control venereal disease in the Bohemian Lands at the end of the “long” nineteenth century, a time when arguments over prostitution raged among abolitionists, feminists, members of the bourgeois women’s movement, neo-regulationists, and others who debated whether prostitution should be tolerated, legalized, or abolished. Between 1899 and 1910, trafficking in women and “venereal peril”, issues intimately associated with prostitution, were internationalized. Attitudes toward prostitution varied among Habsburg-police and bureaucrats, but there was broad support for confining prostitutes in closed bordellos. The discussion highlighted the contrast between the ineffectiveness of regulation in the large and increasingly anonymous metropolises in Habsburg Central Europe, like Prague and Vienna, where the vice squads were allegedly rife with corruption, and the efficacy of regulation in small-to-medium-sized towns and cities.

In the first part of this sequence to discuss the concept of Hungarian gentry, its character, role in society and depiction in literature I wrote about the Hazslinszky family, its roots and most relevant member: Frigyes, representative of the first generation of a newly emerged gentry society in Hungary. In the following, his brother’s, sons’ and grandsons’ lives are analyzed from the viewpoint of a more and more controversial social development during the first half of the 20th century. The signs of belonging to a rather noble strata appeared in the second generation: marriages show high connectedness, but values were constant. A new administrative stratum evolved in this period showing a fairly integrated image as a historical formation, but behind the employment groups, social positions, digging deeply into personal fates we found very altering value systems. These lives represent an alternate to those mostly described in Hungarian historiography characterizing a whole period.

The concept of gentry in Hungarian 19th century history usually backed by its literary counterpart, most famously by those characters in Mikszáth Kálmán’s novels and short stories. The proud but lazy and hedonistic lifestyle, in connection with its useless political and public role in Hungarian society, is so far widespread in public opinion that even in history writing doesn’t lack it. In this article I want to rebut this mostly stereotypic picture drawn about multiple social strata and a complex social phenomena. For my purpose I use a genealogical approach due to its relevance from a micro-historical viewpoint. A lifespan, especially an intergenerational mobility route, can represent the features of a social group and family time, described by stories of life courses, can help to make conclusions to mentality, thus through the story of Hazslinszky family, described in this study, we can get closer to those part of impoverished gentry, who became intellectuals and picked up civic values rather than being flighty and irresponsible snobs.
