Eighteenth Century Representation of Collective Identity in Tuscany - Content Analysis of Traveller Testimonies on England
Prokopová, Oldřiška ; Klusáková, Luďa (advisor) ; Power, Martina (referee) ; Militello, Paolo (referee) ; Erdösi, Péter (referee)
The Master's thesis is based on testimonies of eighteenth-century Tuscan travellers to England. The main questions of the research are how their own identity was created through the categorized and often-stereotyped image of the Other, whether and how it was related to the Enlightenment and what were the cognitive strategies that the travellers used when they encountered the English. The research is based on the method of content analysis applied to the Tuscan traveller Luigi Angiolini, who is then compared to five other Tuscan travellers. An analysis of various aspects of the definition of the Self and of collective identification ensues.

A description of the author's life and a chronological review of his works follow. The next chapters are devoted to Tuscany, the author's native land. We try to find out to what extent Pratesi's creation was influenced by the environment in which he was born and grew up. Next is an analytical part, in which we introduce several major topics that the author uses in his novels (focusing on numerous elements) and according to those we attempt to create a comprehensive picture of Tuscany and its inhabitants at the time.

In conclusion we outline the strengths and weaknesses of the author's novels and try to figure out why Mario Pratesi is an author rather less well-known, both in the Czech Republic as in his native country, Italy. We will try to put the author in historical and...
