By providing the genuinely new „networked“ understanding of exile, this study aims to rewrite significantly the story of Czechoslovak political emigration and re-assess its functioning mostly by means of a tool so far ignored in this field: The Social Network Analysis. According to the dominant historiographical narrative, the Czechoslovak exile followed mostly political goals and was structured as an hierarchy with the Council of Free Czechoslovakia being the supreme body initially respected by most (though not by all) fractions within the exile movement across the globe. That is why the historical research, rather one-sidedly, focused upon the institutional history, biographies of political leaders and ideological debate within political parties in exile. The study argues that the traditional approach needs a substantial revision. Though initially designed as a state-like hierarchy with pyramidal decision-making procedures (with coordinating power vested in the Council of Free Czechoslovakia) the exile soon transformed itself into a horizontal and rather informal network of loosely interconnected and mutually collaborating units and individuals across the globe. The „network thesis“ is demonstrated upon the model analysis of František Váňa’s and Přemysl Pitter’s communication webs being part of the long-term research of Czechoslovak exile networks, 1948–1989.

The author subjects Josef Hrdlička’s thoughts on the book Uzavřená společnost a její nepřátelé: Město středovýchodní Evropy, 1500-1700 [Th e Closed Society and Its Enemies: The City in Central Europe, 1500-1700] to critical examination. He draws attention to two shortcomings in Hrdlička’s review which led to a partial misinterpretation of his study. Josef Hrdlička refrains from a deep analysis of the theoretical underpinnings of Miller’s book, which are based on the explanatory potential of Popper’s concepts of open and closed societies. Besides, the author tries to furnish proof that the reviewer did not wholly respect the genre demarcation of the study, for he fi nds fault with the book for a purported lack of research methods; the application of such methods, however, would be proper to a diff erent type of scholarly text.

Autor podrobuje kritickému zkoumání recenzi Josefa Hrdličky na jeho knihu Uzavřená společnost a její nepřátelé: Město středovýchodní Evropy, 1500-1700. Upozorňuje na dvě chyby v Hrdličkově kritice, které vedly k částečné dezinterpretaci knihy. Josef Hrdlička se zdržel hlubší analýzy teoretického základu Millerovy knihy, která je postavena na vysvětlujícím potenciálu Popperových konceptů otevřené a uzavřené společnosti. Mimoto se autor snaží prokázat, že recenzent nerespektoval plně žánrové vymezení studie, neboť knize vytýkal zjevný nedostatek výzkumných metod; aplikace takových metod by přitom odpovídala odlišnému typu akademického textu.
