Learning outcomes

The aim of the research and education week is to capture contemporary external (non-Czech) stances of the time regarding the endeavours of the Czech literati and scholars during the course of the 19th century. Attention will be paid not only to how Czech national aspirations were reflected by the scholars of other nations in their general literaryhistorical, historical, philosophical or political conceptions and historical interpretations, but also by the image of the Czech aspirations that was presented in the foreign press and literary or cultural periodicals of the time, and no less in correspondences, diary or travelogue writings recorded on the basis of direct contact between Czech and foreign literati and scholars.
Upon successful completion of the course, the student is capable of basic orientation in the main currents of 19th-century foreign thought and their relationship to the Czech question, can critically analyze period sources (foreign press, correspondence, travelogues) in terms of stereotypes, sympathies, or political interests, understands the dynamics of direct and indirect contacts between Czech and foreign intellectuals, and is able to independently interpret a selected foreign-language source within the context of 19th-century Czech history.
