This course examines the performativity of the 1960s in Czechoslovakia and explores the complex context of the fundamental cultural transformation that occurred on a global scale during this decade. Events and phenomena, such as the cinematic New Wave, the unprecedented development of small-format theaters, the massive increase in television viewing (the first million television viewers in 1960), the opening of the borders to the West, Allen Ginsberg's participation in the Prague Maypole in 1965, the student demonstrations in the autumn of 1967, the end of President Antonín Novotný in early 1968, the abolition of censorship, and the entire period of the so-called "Czechoslovakian Revolution," will be examined. The end of the Prague Spring, which concluded with the invasion of Warsaw Pact troops in August of the same year, can only be understood through a broad interdisciplinary approach. Therefore, profound cultural changes will be presented through the perspective of Jeffrey Alexander's theory of performativity and cultural pragmatics, philosopher de Certeau's theory of strategy and tactics, Joshua Meyrowitz's concept linking the approaches of dramaturgical sociology by E. Goffman and media theorist Marshall McLuhan, and other approaches emphasizing the processual and corporeal nature of culture.
