Historical reenactment as a cultural phenomenon
Svoboda, Ondřej ; Lokšík, Martin (advisor) ; Čeňková, Jana (referee)
The goal of this bachelor's thesis is to present the author's journalistic documentary Historical reenactment as a cultural phenomenon. The theoretical part of the thesis focuses on defining the journalistic document as a genre, methods used during its making and a short introduction into the history of the perceived phenomenon. The practical and main part of the thesis is the documentary itself. Many of us have at least once bumped unto people dressed in historical costumes on the subway, on the bus or in the streets. If we discount fans of fantasy books and movies going to their meetings, it might have probably been a historical reenactor. A person, who dedicates their free time to reconstruct historical events and we usually meet them at city fairs. Most of their events, however, are closed to the public. Even though their original purpose was to break stereotypes and enjoy medieval times in the way it really felt. Every piece of costume, every weapon or tent are hours upon hours of work, searching in archives and sewing. The motivations of these people are the topic of this film. It also encounters their stances and hobby with experimental archaeologists, who are thanks to their jobs very close to the matter.
