- Cíle předmětu
- Is cinema able to define the characteristic features of citizens in a particular nation? This is a question that Glasgow University lecturer Dr. Jan Čulík will attempt to answer in his English-language course "What does film tell us about the Czechs?", which will run at Masaryk university in the autumn of 2024.
The course will analyse a selection of Czech films from three different eras, including post-communism, and will attempt to find out what Czech film makers tell us about their fellow citizens living in Czechia.
This course will offer the unique opportunity to study the history of Czechoslovakia, a democratic country in Europe that has been dragged through Nazism and communism to emerge again as a democratic country by analysing a series of period feature films and key period literary texts which bear testimony of the value system of each historical era. The analysis of the period film works and literary texts will be framed within lectures explaining, with the help of relevant literature, the cultural and historical context. - Výstupy z učení
