Learning outcomes
Students will learn about the development of the culture of the Czech lands in the "long" 19th century (1792-1914) in connection with the events in Europe with regard to its material and spiritual changes. They pay attention to the power-strengthening and weakening layers of society in the era of expanding industrialization, nationalization, secularization of the state and general rationalization of society. The interpretation reflects the history of culture in the development of material and spiritual life in the early modern age. Lectures on the history of art will introduce students chronologically to the development of the field in the period from 1780 to 1890. Emphasis will be placed especially on the transformation of culture and the meaning of visual arts as a result of political, religious, social and economic changes. Lectures: 1) Industrial age: factories, inventions, production and progress - a phenomenon of modern times 2) Medicine, physical education, tourism, sport - a sign of exceptionality and a mass phenomenon 3) Science and education in the service of the nation 4) Literature in political rivalry and national education 5) Nobility and bourgeoisie - part of society in its zenith and in progress 6) Renaissance as a cultural type 7) Nationalism as a cultural phenomenon BITRICH, Tomáš et al.: Alternativní kultura.
