The Janus-faced Landscape. Representing the landscape of Rakovnik and Krivoklat in publications of the Rakovnik's Museum Society.
Uhlířová, Tereza ; Šima, Karel (advisor) ; Randák, Jan (referee)
In my Diploma Thesis, I deal with the way how the Rakovnik's Museum Society represented the landscape of Rakovnik and Krivoklat in their bulletins and in other regional publications in the early 20th century. It is a cultural-political analysis of the authors' manner of interpreting the Regions of Rakovnik and Krivoklat as a unified, specific, distinctive, mythmaking region, etc. in their texts, which means how its borders are defined, what elements are considered as the landscape features, how the literary- folkloric image of the region is created, the ways the land could be useful for human and which famous people are connected with this region. The emphasis is also placed on the question whether, and possibly, how the authors' position is reflected in the region's image. I deal with the research issues in connection with the concept of "the landscape as a story" or "the landscape memoirs", i.e. with a constructivist approach to the region, whose constitution is always culturally and socially conditioned. Key words: representation, landscape, museum society, Regions of Rakovnik and Krivoklat Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)
