A preceding chapter summarizes the institutionalization and of the folklore movement in the given period and current research regarding the movement. The thesis uses articles in regional newspapers, annuals of the Ensemble and a documentation of the Ensemble and the anniversary deposited in the Strakonice District Archive. The thesis presents the possibilities of a political use of the folklore movement in a local context. Keywords: folklore movement, Strakonice, bagpipers, identity, regional history
