Learning outcomes
|
The course introduces students to the development of the book market in the Czech lands from the beginning of Czech written book production to the present day. The course focuses on the development of individual professions (publisher, printer, bookseller, distributor, etc.), economic and legal context, state regulation of book production and the formation of the reading public. In some aspects, the course content touches on the history of book culture (which is, however, the subject of a separate course in the first year of study), while the issue of censorship is developed in greater breadth and depth in the separate elective course Censorship and Social Regulation of Literature.

Assessment methods and criteria
|
Written exam
Participation in the tutorials is voluntary. Students attending the tutorials will read the relevant passage of the syllabus so that they are able to ask questions and participate in the discussion. The purpose of the tutorials is (in addition to the consultation of uncertainties) to give broadening and deepening explanations and to present concrete examples. Each tutorial has one correspondence assignment associated with it. The completion of this correspondence assignment is dependent on the knowledge gained from reading the relevant passages in the course outline, so it is recommended that the assignment be completed after each tutorial. The assignment will then be commented on by the tutor at the next tutorial. The last assignment will be assessed via Moodle. A condition for attestation is the completion of all three correspondence assignments and the successful completion of the written test.
