Description:
Český lid/The Czech Folk - Journal of Ethnological studies is the oldest ethnographic magazine in the Czech Republic. It was founded in 1891, and today it serves for various streams of ethnographic studies - i.e. cultural or social anthropology, classic ethnography and borderline disciplines. The magazine is published as a quarterly in 500 copies by Etnologický ústav AV ČR/The Institute of Ethnology of the Czech Academy of Sciences in Prague. Its supplement is published irregularly since 1990 (4 volumes). The editor is Z. Hanzl. The quarterly Národopisné aktuality/Ethnographic News was published by Ústav lidového umění/The Institute of Folk Arts in Strážnice since 1964. The magazine acquired many stable associates and was well established in Czech as well as Slovak professional quarters. Sometimes it published even articles from abroad. Since 1990 the magazine changed thoroughly. I was renamed as Národopisná revue/Journal of Ethnography, and the magazine had difficulties to find a new face., When the independent Czech Republic came into being it tried to keep in touch with the Slovak ethnographers. It publishes professional articles (currently mostly thematic), reviews, personal datas, photographs by professional and amateur photographers.The editor-in-chief is J. Krist, the editors M. Pavlicová and L. Uhlíková. A bibliography of dead and living ethnographers and folklorists is published as the supplement (up to now 11 volumes). Národopisná společnost českoslovanská/The Czechoslavonic Ethnographical Society started to publish its own magazine in 1897. The original name Národopisný sborník českoslovanský/The Czechoslavonic Ethnographical Miscellany was changed to Národopisný věstník českoslovanský/ The Czechoslavonic Ethnographical Bulletin in 1906. Thanks to the editors (J. Polívka et al.) the magazine reached the European standard, especially because of the articles on comparative folklore studies. The bulletin did not exist after the WWII till 1966, when a new editorial board with V. Frolec in the head was created. They tried to reach again the high standard, but the regime after 1968 led to the end of it. As late as in 1984 the Ethnographical Society enforced its publishment but only in a modest form. The publishing continues after 1989., The ethnographic bibliography of Bohemia, Moravia and Silesia Autonomous ethnographic bibliographies came into being together with the gradual forming of ethnography as an independent discipline - in 1880s and 1890s. Before this time, ethnography had been included in linguistic, literary, historic and other surveys. Ethnographic materials were included also in the oldest scientific magazine - The Magazine of the Czech Museum - since 1830, as well as in The History of Czech Literature by J. Jungmann (1825), works of P. J. Šafařík, J. V. Michl, A. V. Šembera, F. Doucha, J. Jireček and others. Since 1880s ethnographic surveys were published in the magazine Wisla (J. Polívka). In the Czechoslavonic Ethnographic Bulletin. Ethnographic materials were published by J. Polívka, V. Tille, J. Zubatý. E. Kovář, L. Niederle and others. The bibliiography of Czech and Slovak ethnography was published also in some German and Austrian magazines. The bibliography was regularly published in the Czech Folk led by Č. Zíbrt. Zíbrt himself is the author of the Bibliography of Czech History. In 1930s the bibliographies were processed by D. Stránská and J. Horák. In 1954, a bibliography documenting the years 1945-1952 was published by L. Kunz. This bibliography is continued by bibliographies by H. Mülerová (1953-1970), V. Trkovská and Z. Mišurec. In 1960 an important bibliography (1891-1932) was published by L. Kunz. Bibliography of years 1971-1982 by V. Trkovská was published in 1983, years 1983-1989 were documented in 1991 (H. Müllerová).
