Italian news in Czech chapbooks of the 19th century
Suchomelová, Marcela
Broadside ballads of Chapbooks became the contemporary phenomenon of information across several centuries. Genre multicolored form pamphlet news nearly reflect the current message to the widest audience, especially in folk environment. These small and very popular prints associated with everyday life of society, especially in the second half of the 19th century directly compete with the "faster" by the media, that cost is a mass of newspaper and magazine production. Interesting, especially news reporting leaflet (pamphlet) or broadside songs are also happening in the Apennine local region: reactions Revolution and Rebellion in 1848, or risorgimento year 1859, when the Sardinian-Piedmontese kingdom, along with the Emperor Napoleon III. defeated Austria and soon failed foreign, Mexican mission Archduke Maximilian in the 60th years, but also the marginal popularized songs about miracles or accompanying "thanksgiving" divine aid. Among the interesting scrolls, which were currently cataloged are critical broadside prints the Prague Institute of Ethnology of the ASCR. Collection along with collections of folk songs comes from the results of a major editorial, unfortunately unfinished project from the beginning of the last century, Das Volkslied in Österreich. Volkpoezie und Volkmusik der in Österreich lebenden Völker.

Suchomelová, Marcela
Josef Oldřich – Oldra Novotný (1885–1964),nearly forgotten pedagogue and ethno botanist, who worked in Český Brod and Kostelec nad Černými Lesy Regions Českobrodsko a Černokostelecko). Novotný edited a journal – or rather a sort of regional history periodical handbook – of the same title (i. e. “Českobrodsko a Černokostelecko”). The journal was issued only from 1919–1920, nevertheless it was one of the pioneering regional periodicals focused on contemporary regional and cultural history materials, including short ethnographic essays with educational meaning. All the ten issues of the first and the only volume concentrate on contemporary historical, ethnographic, and linguistic specialist research, and they are filled with the work of local teachers and J.O. Novotný himself. Josef O. Novotný personality also surprises through the recently rediscovered torso of his research legacy. There have been found his manuscripts from floristic and ethno botanical fields. J.O. Novotný worked nearly all his life on “Slovník lidových jmen rostlin”, (Lexicon of folk names of plants). Both editorial conception and manuscript corpus of the lexicon are worth remembering. The lexicon covers 7200 folders of typescript, abounds in botanical material and valuable observations for ethno botanical and linguistic studies, along with practical usage of plants, especially in traditional medicine.

Musician and audience: stage production and reception of Czech traditional music
Vejvoda, Zdeněk
Folk music in Bohemia started to find use as a social and political phenomenon as early as the 19th century, a time known as the Czech National Revival. Whereas Czech folk songs were collected by the thousand, in line with the romanticizing ideas of nationalism then sweeping across Europe, dance music performed in people's everyday lives remained long outside collectors' attention. The development of music folklore performed on stage was largely influenced by two exhibitions held in Prague – the Jubilee Exhibition in 1891 and the Czech-Slavonic Ethnographic Exhibition in 1895. Adaptations and stage presentations were becoming increasingly important research issues. A new impulse came from the inter-war avant-garde, whereas in the mid-20th century, the Czechoslovak Radio adopted a crucial role in the process. All that had a significant effect on the life and work of amateur “folklore” ensembles.
