"Potápky", "Páskové" and Their Representation in Czech Culture
TRNKOVÁ, Natálie
This Bachelor thesis deals with the swing subculture of the so-called "potápky" and with the follow-up rock'n'roll subculture of the so-called "páskové". The thesis introduces their style (image, slang, performance, lifestyle) as an expression of certain shared life values (ideology). It discusses how these subcultures came into conflict with the official culture, the life style of their parents, or totalitarian power, as well as the way in which "potápky" and "páskové" were depicted in Czech culture. The work offers several possibilities for depicting revolting youth subcultures in Czech filmography, periodicals and also in literary works by Josef Škvorecký, who was among the leading representatives of Czech "potápky" and "páskové".
