Trampské osady v kontextu neformální architektury

This paper presents the issues of architectural and spatial development of tramp settlements and campsites during the 20th century, with an emphasis on how the use of these sites changed depending on the degree of their formal recognition. It places this type of sites and buildings into the wider context of informal architecture research, and also discusses how the official recognition of such sites was related to changes in ownership and privacy perception.

This article examines the relationship between the political theories of Central European dissidents and the social practice of “tramping,” a back-to-nature movement that was associated with oppositional politics and “anti-politics” in Czechoslovakia from the end of World War I until 1989. The article reflects on the potential political significance of the tramping movement’s ideal of uncivilized society as an alternative to the dissidents’ concept of “civil society,” which began as a call for “antipolitical” transformation, and yet after 1989 became an ideological justification for explicitly elitist modes of liberal-conservative governance. The concept of “uncivilized society,” which can be drawn from the discourse of tramping, has parallels in contemporary autonomist calls for tactical retreats from oppressive modernity. The article concludes that the tramping movement’s emphasis on internal organization best distinguishes the movement both from East-Central European dissent before 1989 and from autonomism today.

The text deals with collective representations of Czech tramping movement with focus on its leftist fraction and their journal Tramp, published between years 1929 and 1931 when the movement faced both inner split and increasing state repression. The text is based on discoursive analyses of this journal by means of investigating basic concepts of tramps of the period which aim to scrutiny the world of meaning and self–identification of tramps as well as reasons of their radicalization.

Ethnologists began research of Czech tramping (tramping movement or tramping subculture) as part of modern research of urban culture only in the 1980s; before 1989 they dealt with it only marginally (A. Mann from Bratislava researched contemporary tramping festivities, V. Vohlídka and J. Svobodová from Prague focused on history and material culture of tramping in Bohemia). At the beginning of the 1990s, it was Z. Uherek who investigated inter-war festivities of Prague tramps; J. Souček pointed out other possibilities of similar research. In 1995, focus of ethnological research of tramping moved to Moravia when the researchers from branch of the Institute of Ethnography and Folkloristics in Brno, the current Institute of Ethnology of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, resolved the project “The Culture of Contemporary Children and Youth with Special Attention to Folklore Expressions”. The project also included research of youth subcultures, tramping included. It was mainly Karel Altman who focused on the research of tramping. The project investigated history and present of the tramping movement in several regions in Moravia (WesternMoravian Trojříčí, the Tišnov, the Valašské Klobouky and the Vsetín areas). Karel Altman presented themes relating to tramping in the form of cycles of lectures called “Tramping as a Subculture” at the Department of European Ethnology at the Faculty of Arts, Masaryk University in Brno. These lectures encouraged several students to write their Master’s theses on this theme. At the turn of the century one of the compulsory courses for students of the Department of European Ethnology included field research of tramping movement especially in southern Wallachia, conducted during several years. Research of tramping still continues in Brno.

The paper discusses secondary recreational uses of abandoned slate quaries, dumps and mines in the area of Nízký Jeseník (Czech Republic) focusing on campers and tramps, who colonized this area since the second half of the 1940s. A paralel between such an adaptation of former industrial places and natural succession is presented. An area of Koňský důl (Horse quarry) is used as an example of such a site where mining history, recreational usage, new local names and continuous adaptation of space led to an establishment of a distinctive, well-known place that can still be classified as a brownfield but where its new roles are much more prominent. Local contemporary legends are also mentioned, including a character called Honnbesch, a malicious former German farmer hiding in the underground.
