The dissertation entitled: "A Look at the Day-to-day Life of Jewish Communities in 18th Century Moravia as Viewed through Archive Sources. A Historical- Anthropological Analysis." examines several aspects of the everyday life of Jewish communities in Moravia, during the period from the beginning of the 18th century until the end of 1770s. The focus of the dissertation consists of three main chapters examining the economic strategies of Jewish inhabitants, demographic and economic strategies of Jewish families and interactions between Moravia's Jewish and Christian inhabitants. The dissertation focuses within these areas on the practices of Moravian Jewish communities particularly in terms of reactions and adaptations to specific life conditions. These conditions, shaped throughout the history primarily by the impact of state power (legislation), resulted in forms very different from those of the majority Christian population. The dissertation presents results of textual analysis based on archive documents acquired by the author's own research in various archives in the Czech Republic during 2006 - 2010.
