Course objectives
The subject is based on a brief overview of the history (linguistically) of Czech archeology in our countries and reading characteristics texts to help listeners become aware of its thought tradition, as it arose and changed during the 19th and 20th centuries. and three the basic sources that shaped this process: the general development of European thought; the development of archeology in the surrounding countries; observance of the Czech national program. The time frame of the subject ends at the turn of the 80s and 90s of the 20th century, because the pervasive social changes of the time also seemingly sharply separated archeology from its domestic ideological foundations. However, even after three decades, the future direction of Czech archeology as a whole is not yet clear. It will be during its formation but having to deal not only with what is coming, but also with his own past and try to synthesize them. Subject offers listeners the necessary foundation for this. A rather unusual hourly allowance for the subject (individual lessons: 1p+2s) is due to the fact that the lecture will briefly characterize the individual time periods and the seminar will be devoted to the reading of relevant passages from characteristic texts and a discussion of what has been read.
Learning outcomes
The student will have a basic overview of the history of Czech archeology in our countries.
