Czech tramping can seem to be a mere leisure-time activity of a selected segment of the Czech population (especially young people but by far not only of them), but its essence is much more complex and its importance usually bigger. Tramping does not only consist in unrestricted wandering through freely accessible nature (usually at weekends), in camping and development of peculiar festivities, but it also demonstrates its specific material and spiritual attributes, significantly influenced by scouting and woodcraft. It was mainly the tramps´ code of ethics, applied not only to tramping itself, that defined ethical attitudes of the tramps towards the environment and members of the majority society. Over the last one hundred years, Czech tramping has become a real lifestyle of its bearers not only in the period of their youth, but often also later in their life, often until their death. This lifestyle has always been a specific, even in the context of a certain space, non-consumption-oriented, and alternative way how to spend leisure time.

This paper deals with the seasonal character of nuptiality in the Czech lands with an accent on the month of May which shows, especially after the World War II, the lowermost values. It is usually connected with the superstition that the “May wedding implies an early death of one of the partners”. This superstition is known already from the period of the Roman wars, however, it had no continual influence on frequency of the May weddings in the Czech lands. As the demographic studies show, the May minimums started to be clear as late as the second half of the 1920s. The author also follows the superstition as a proverb in some Czech paremiological collections created since the19th century.

The catastrophic floods in the Czech lands in July 1997 and August 2002 showed that historical flood memory had been lost. The little used sources to recover it include early printed books. This article brings a selection of everal exceptional flood cases captured by printed documents from the 16th–18th centuries. Extant early printed books and the information that they contain (verified from other sources where possible) suitably complement and extend the potential of historical hydrology and meteorology for the study and documentation of early floods that occurred before the beginning of instrumental observations and measurements.

The new social history of the Czech lands in the 19th century is written on the basis of the concept of history as games, where however an analysis is not lacking of the structural framing of society, rhythm of historical movement, relationship between the continuity and discontinuity of modernisation changes, relationship between historical stability and dynamics and where Czech lands are presented as a unique “laboratory” of these modernisation changes. The author overcame the classical concept of modernisation by drawing into this general concept the value frameworks (especially the values associated with the Enlightenment, liberalism and nationalism), as well as new trends of that time (gender, social issues or the emancipation of the labouring class), which modernization inevitably or inadvertently created, and then especially his imagination.

The text analyses the development of the autonomy of higher education institutions in the Czech lands following the Prussian model with an emphasis on the aspect of the economic dependence on the state, which was very significant in European comparison. It notes the gradual development of autonomous identity in the representation of higher education institutions with a core at the universities and the achievement of a high degree of autonomy in the decision-making of the state in 1890–1930. At that time, higher education institutions became the leading bearers of a liberal vision of corporate management and a liberal-democratic view of the role of the state. Increasing cases of the abuse of the autonomy by the representations of higher education institutions mainly in the economic sphere led to the intensification of oversight and the gradual reduction of autonomy in the search for postliberal social order in Czechoslovak society with the advent of the economic and political crisis after 1929.

One of the manifestations of multi-denominational coexistence in the Kingdom of Bohemia and the Margraviate of Moravia between the Hussite Revolution and the year 1620 was the competition of individual confessions (apart from the Unity of Brethren) for the existing network of parishes as the fundamental unit of church administration. The study seeks an answer to the question of how the landed gentry tried to guarantee that the parishes on their estates, over which they held the right of patronage, would belong to their faith in the future, as was currently the case. It is mainly concentrated on localities owned by the nobility, who were the owners of the right of presentation (a patron’s right to propose a suitable person for a benefice to the ecclesiastical superiors) to approximately three-quarters of all parish churches.

This paper attempts to present and to access some selected legal standards affecting the shape of the local administration institutions on the Czech soil (Bohemia, Moravia, Silesia) in the years 1848-1945. In the retrospection, some attention was paid to the turning points in the development of the basic unit of the territorial self government, i.e. the local administration. The author attempts to present a vivid picture of the situation by interpreting some legal standards of the local community system.The research focused on the local communities shows that the thesis supporting the existence of relations between the cultural activity of individuals and local communities and contemporary legal standard is justified. Those standards contribute - directly or indirectly, to the shaping of the mentality of the inhabitants concerning their belonging to a particular socio-geographic environment.

The goal of this study is to capture and describe the specific characteristics of royal dowry towns in the post-Hussite period (1436–1526). As this is an institution that lasted from the High Middle Ages until the mid-19th century, caution is required to avoid transferring characteristics and evaluations from other periods. The approach used respects the state of institutionalization at the time, which in the Middle Ages often took a personal nature or was not continuous. The study asks the following questions: What made Czech royal dowry towns unique? What made them different from other royal towns? What importance did this group of towns have in the historical context of the time? What tied the dowry towns to the queens and the offices of their chamberlains? What effect did the frequent use of these towns as collateral have on them? The sources used most often are municipal rights, correspondence between dowry towns and manorial or regional officials, correspondence between towns, correspondence with the surrounding nobles, legal proceedings, normative sources, and chronicles.

The submitted study deals with an analysis of the programme texts of the political parties oriented mainly on the Moravian and Bohemian rural areas in the period from the end of the 19th century to World War I. Its goal is to examine social and national collective self-identification in the Czech lands in this period. A comparison of the political programs of the Old Czechs, the Young Czechs, the Agrarians and the Clericals is intended to help determine how the relevant political parties have been able to influence the political attitudes of the peasantry. The text also deals with the development of agricultural associations and cooperatives in the Czech lands and their connection to the political structures of individual parties.

This study explores several military reenactor performances through the optics of reenactment studies after the affective turn and post-positivist oral history. These are co-organized or independently produced by a Czech military history reenactment club, which is specific for its unique affectivity, experience, and production of historical meaning. In action and film reenactment performances, which we refer to as The West, The March, and Division 45, the reenactors focus on the reconstruction of the final phase of the 20th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS (1st Estonian) combat journey in the Czech lands in May 1945. In doing so, they produce meanings that conflict with contemporary Czech military culture and official memory, but they avoid historical revisionism. In this sense, the reenactor performances touch upon, among other things, the still highly conflicting local issues of the politics of memory – the so-called crimes of the victors of the summer of 1945, especially the crimes committed against prisoners of war of various types of the German armed forces, subjected to highly inhumane treatment. Until now, these crimes have been debated in the Czech historical community more or less only in relation to German civilians.

The submitted study looks at the opinions and acts of the nobility, in particular Karl Chotek, during the 1848 Year of Revolution. Before the spring revolutionary period, the Czech nobility enjoyed an exclusive status, but the revolutionary summer changed all that. Although some noblemen had already endeavoured to reform relations with their serfs before the revolution, had founded the Union to Encourage Industry in Bohemia and declared the ability to purchase freedom for serfs, during the revolution they signed a petition to avoid sudden revolutionary change and keep their current status as political representatives of the country, and they were confronted with the Herder-inspired Czech nationalist movement. They could not find a common voice with this movement because amongst other things, their reforms arose not from the language-profiled concept of the nation as declared by the Czech nationalist movement, but rather from the Enlightenment. Although the nobility were not passive and endeavoured to play a part in political events, they remained alone in their endeavours, with even the state itself drawing away from them and abolishing serfdom on 7 September 1848 independently of their demands, and through this also abolishing the whole of the previous patrimonial administration.

The article discusses the state of knowledge and the significance of a special group of early medieval material culture artefacts – namely, spindle whorls made of Ovruch pyrophyllite slate originating from the territory of present-day Ukraine. Thousands of these artefacts, interesting not only for their specific, usually reddish color, but also for their professional standardized design, were made between the 10th and 13th c. Their occurrence in the Czech lands is very limited, however: only 13 specimens are presently known. In Bohemia, they have been discovered only in Prague, which was their target destination. In Moravia and Czech Silesia, they are known from five sites: with a single exception (a cemetery), they are important supra-regional and local fortified centers. Non-destructive analyses carried out have shown that all detected spindle whorls can be considered originals. An analysis of the archaeological contexts showed that the earliest occurrence of these imports can be dated as far back as the second half of the 10th century. However, most of them probably belong to the 11th century, and some, exceptionally, even to the 12th century. Given their low number, we assume that this most probably was not a regular item in long-distance trade.

Workers’ Gymnastic Union’s (WGU) were not interested only in physical exercise, as we can say, but they emphasised also cultural and educational activities. They organized trips, theatre performances, and lectures. These spheres made a general image of work in WGU, where the sport activities were joined to the line with physical exercise – the first debates about sport disciplines took place before the World War I. The breaking of taboo gained by Czechoslovakia establishing – a sport was increasingly popular and this was reflected in WGU. In the next years, still more sports unions were established and their organizations were not destroyed even by occupation. The biggest boom of sport in WGU was during the World War II. The study discusses debates on misleading individual sports within the WGU, including those inappropriate ones from the point of view of federal officials and contrary to the spirit of collective cohesion. On the example of German workers’ physical education will be showed a sport activity in gymnastic unions in the Czech lands, respectively in the Czechoslovakia.

The lives of both adults and children in the medieval Europe of western Christianity were shaped by societal and ecclesiastic norms. These norms were based, in particular, on the canon law and the liturgy. The life of a child is depicted in these sources in a static manner as depending on the decisions of the adults – parents and curators. However, other preserved sources besides the normative ones, namely, those produced by the Church administration and judiciary, make it possible to reconstruct the life of children in the Middle Ages more vividly.

The Czech lands‘ borderland underwent an essential social and cultural transformation between 1945–1946, which was determined by expatriation of most inhabitants of the German origin, as well as by new arrivals, formation of the “Iron Curtain”, and socialization of agriculture. In the public discourse, an image about uprooted borderland was created after 1989. The study deals with how the homeland is thematised by inhabitants of the German origin and their descendants, who were allowed to stay in the Czech lands‘ borderland after 1945/1946 but whose all lived world significantly changed after 1945. The empiric materials includes interviews with eight persons, made using the method of oral history. The author divides the narration about homeland into three groups (according to the time, space, and social and cultural sphere), and as an independent category she sorts out the narrations in which the relation to homeland is compared between those who have remained, and those who had to leave. The author also asks whether it is possible to use the narration about homeland, the “Heimat” concept, for an analysis, which she confirms. The analysis of the material shows that the “homeland” is mostly thematised in connection with its social and cultural components, and that it is most suitable to use the term “displacement” to interpret the narratives.

This study aims to try to correct the persistent idea that initial mistrust in this new means of transport was soon replaced by general enthusiasm. It certainly cannot be doubted, however, that there was a gradual movement towards the public acceptance of the railways, but the process was much slower and more complicated than is generally thought. Over a period of about 50 years, society’s perception of the railways took a somewhat circular course. The myth of the dangerous impacts of this unfamiliar means of transport on the local population was, through rational enlightenment and awareness of the economic benefits of the railway, replaced by another myth: the myth of the power of the railways, whose very presence would secure an almost miraculous blossoming of the economy and standard of living of the whole society. But in the context of the end of the 19th century, these ideas were just as irrational as those which warned of a fall in the birth-rate in regions where railways were laid. Nevertheless, the railway became an essential part of life in Czech society.

A number of papers looking at specific aspects of the Czech women’s movement touch upon the political dimension of the Czech women’s movement prior to 1914. They do not, however, look in detail at the efforts of Anglo-Saxon women to gain political rights as reflected in Czech women’s magazines which fairly regularly brought reports on the women’s movement abroad, especially regarding political aspects, beginning in the 1890s. With increasing efforts to achieve women’s suffrage abroad, contracts grew up between the Czech movement and those abroad. There was ever more information on the situation in Britain and the USA in particular due to the long tradition of women’s efforts there to achieve their political rights. The reports were not just admiring in nature, but also critical, so the extent of their impact on the Czech movement is hard to determine. What is clear is that information from abroad contributed to a feeling of wider solidarity, leading to

The reasons for conversion or withdrawal from traditional churches could be diff erent in every historical period. Historians should recognize the secondary or contrary historical processes like foundation of small movements and „free“ churches, and also appreciate individual motives of a convert. The author of this paper researches conversion on the basis of 1) religious term and its diff erent meanings in historical contexts, 2) study of the convert‘s „Lebenswelt“ and his local church and religion culture. At first he compares the similar meanings of the term conversion in diff erent theological encyclopedias (change of religion) and puts forward Karl Rahner’s notion of internal conversion as Bekehrung (a change of the involved man in his spiritual relationship to God) as an inspiring tool for the methodology of ecumenical or comparative church history. A summary of church development and the legislative status of diff erent denominations in the Habsburg monarchy in the 19th century follows. The author approaches that the wave of religious changes in the late 19th century was truly brought about by the internal pluralization of religious culture. He demonstrates his point by analysing conversion in the Prague diocese in 1900.

The study deals with the presentation of folk culture expressions on stage and tries to answer the questions that arise in this context. They relate both to the genesis of the presentation of folk traditions and to the subsequent developments that formed demonstrations of folk culture into a staged genre with artistic ambitions. Based on examples of selected expressions of folk culture in the Czech environment − especially expressions of folklore, which, alongside customary traditions, were always the backbone of staged presentations − the study shows how the demonstration of folk culture expressions was approached, how the performances were accepted by audiences, and which functions (ideological, artistic, and entertainment) were attributed to them. Another important question is what image of folk culture was created on the stage and how this image could have influenced the “living” terrain of the countryside and the very tendencies to protect the values of folk culture, which began to pick up strength in Czech society at the end of the nineteenth century.

The study reflects adaptation and economical working mechanisms of a selected religious community of expatriates (reformed Evangelists who came from south-eastern Moravia) that in the mid-19th century settled in the multiethnic village of Velké Srediště in current Serbian Banat. The migration of monitored colonists from Central Europe was associated with the process of overcoming the moment of discontinuity (leaving the place of origin) through their adaptation in the new settings. The text presents institutional mechanisms that were used by the newcomers to overcome the stage of discontinuity, which brought doubts on the future life in the new settings. Based on written sources we assume a thesis that this social group brought a functioning social organization from Moravia to southern Hungary – an autonomous congregation community with own standards, forms of farming, confessional school and family religious education. The follow-up to the pre-migration model of a religious organization translocated by migration participants was based on the fact that it was time-honoured, tested and functioning. Through examples of several practices of this adopted model I argue that this was a social practice which significantly facilitated and accelerated the process of gradual adaptation in the new settings.
