Havránek, Josef ; Činátl, Kamil (advisor) ; Pýcha, Čeněk (referee)
The proposed thesis will investigate the representations and instrumentalizations of artistic objects in public space as a case of retrospective historical construction affecting the relationship between Czech and Slovak nations during the period of the First Czechoslovak Republic. Memorials and monuments that remember the creation of the Czechoslovak Republic constitute the object of the analysis. They will subsequently be investigated as medium used for the construction of a specific historical narrative that will be further analysed in the thesis. Photodocumentation of the monuments, accessible audio-visual information conatining actors' expressions and further archival materiál concerning the analysed memorials will be used as primary sources. Key words memorial, Czechoslovak Republic, public history, politics of memory
