Anotace

Poslední úprava: PhDr. Iva Beránková (11.02.2020)

To what extent may Prague be currently considered a global city? Which nationalities and ethnicities have come to Prague, shaped its character, met, influenced each other as well as clashed? Who and why was expelled? What do the town´s monuments, street names, demolished buildings and forgotten public festivities tell about the history of the city? Within the scope of the excursions in Prague´s streets, squares, and corners, we will focus on the selected social, political as well as cultural context of the city´s history, including the politics of memory and overlaps with the contemporary life of its inhabitants. Moreover, we will explore examples of a wide range of primary and secondary sources (film trailers, maps, city views, buildings, memorials and commemorative plaques, personal correspondence, political posters, cartoons etc.) through which the history of the Czech capital can be viewed and reconstructed. Finally, we will discuss how these historical topics can be applied in project teaching and historical excursions with students.
