Normalised Museum. Ideology in the Documentation and Presentation of the Museum in Písek in 1968-1978
DUDA, Zdeněk
The thesis is based on an institutional approach to the study of museum phenomena in the past. It focuses on depicting one specific place in the landscape of Czech museums during the period of state socialism and its appearance during the Prague Spring and in the first years of normalization. This place is the former Regional / District and today Prácheň Museum in Písek, which just then wrote one of the most interesting chapters in its history. The aim of the work is to define and describe the contents of documentation and presentation activities of the Písek Museum. The contemporary normative and methodological literature as well as the relation of this activity to contemporary politics and ideology are taken into account. The work is based on the analysis of the period's annual reports of the museum, various occasional prints and publications, newspaper reports, museum documentation and records, but also the relevant period and professional literature. The intention is not only to approach the fate of one particular museum, but also to comment on the role and place of Czech museums in a society that called itself socialist through a case study. The subject of interest in this work is mainly the area of those activities of the museum, which were related to the fulfillment of the defined task and function. With a few exceptions, the issues of management and control of the museum by superior bodies, the reception of the museum and its activities by the general public, as well as the relationship of the museum and its production and activities to the fulfillment of the museum phenomenon remained aside.
