The text aims to bring attention of the Czech readers to Petrie's contributions to the eugenics movement in Great Britain. It describes his close association with Francis Galton and his resulting pronounced views on eugenics and shows how Petrie's racist opinions and involvement in eugenics influenced his work as an archaeologist and historian. An attempt is made to understand Petrie's views in the context of his times instead of condemning him for his appalling conclusions motivated by his racism and eugenics beliefs. The text offers a perspective which enables the readers to consider Petrie's thoughts in relation to the eugenic movement which was not only favoured by many of his contemporaries, but also had many supporters long after Petrie's death. Any consideration of the influence of past ideologies and context on Petrie's thinking and research also brings forward an unanswerable question of how much each one of us is influenced by the ideologies and the context(s) prevalent in present times and culture.

The classical, formalist methods of art history seem to be inevitably intertwined with both the “great story” and with ethnic (racial) identifications of the artistic heritage. Even if the categories of “style” and “evolution” can be evaded, this would leave a ground plan in which national state was the basic matrix for writing the kind of coherent art historical narrative still in demand from both the general public and educational systems. Histories ofthe art ofthe Central European states, e.g. of Hungary and Slovakia, are burdened by the need to define their object, and not to fall into the trap ofnationalism. This is methodologically much more difficult than is generally realised. Possible operations include, in the first instance, suspension ofthe idea of any essential ethnic regional identity. A necessary caution must be exercised in using the classical art historical methods employed for research into art from “anonymous epochs”, since national, ethnic or racial identifications are ingrained deep in their texture.

This article deals with movies made during the fascist era which are treating the topic of colonial expansion. I tried to analyse these films to find out if they were primarily racist and what message the fascist directors wanted to give to the public. I discovered that the films were mostly meant to justify the Italian intervention rather than to denigrate the African natives. In the movies the key scope was to show the Italians in the best light and depict them as a highly developed nation, which is able and willing to civilize the underdeveloped Africa. Through the analysis of these films we can take a look into the complex core of the fascist ideology.

The article focuses on the topic of racism in Luis Sepúlveda’s novel The Old Man Who Read Love Stories. The epicenter of the literary work is El Idilio, a small settlement founded by the colonists in the Amazon rainforest. The disputes between the new incomers (white men or people of mixed race), and the indigenous peoples from the Ecuadorian rainforest is the principal conflict of the coexistence of different ethnicities in the Amazon area. The dispute with the surrounding world is reflected also in the conflict between the colonists and the nature, with which the intruders cannot live together.

The article focuses on the topic of collective perception and the literary representation of the relationship between the white man and the native woman in fascist Italy. The sexist undertone of propaganda songs from the time of the Second Italian-Ethiopian War soon was in contradiction with the rising racist views in Italian society that led to the compulsory segregation of white and indigenous people in the colonies. The stereotypical image of an indigenous woman as a domestic animal or beast appears in both trashy and high literature. The masculine figure has an interesting development: a new fascist man, the conqueror is finally replaced by the passive inetto, a type that has been enforced in theItalian literature during modernism.
