The Phenomenon of "Love Locks" in Prague as an Invented Tradition
Procházková, Alžběta ; Janeček, Petr (advisor) ; Půtová, Barbora (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with love locks, individually decorated padlocks with special social function attached in a public space. The thesis examines various aspects of this modern phenomenon in the Historical Center of Prague in order to map the current situation and confirm the classification of the phenomenon of love locks among invented traditions. During the research these methods were used: observation, semi-structured interviews, questionnaire surveys and content analysis of Internet content. Photo documentation and a map of the occurrence of love locks in the Historical Center of Prague were created. An evaluation of academic literature and non-academic texts and results of my own research confirmed that the phenomenon of love locks is an invented tradition.
