Autoři považují antiklerikalismus za významnou součást evropských modernizačních procesů, zaměřených proti církvi a jejím institucím. Sledují jeho charakter a proměny od poloviny 19. století do konce první třetiny století dvacátého v habsburské monarchii a první Československé republice, a to s ohledem na rozdíly a specifika v různém ideovém a sociálním prostředí, ve městě a na venkově a také v českých krajanských komunitách ve Spojených státech. Jejich monografie podle recenzenta umožňuje vnímat český, protikatolicky zaměřený antiklerikalismus v evropském kontextu jako mnohovrstevnatý fenomén, který významně ovlivnil dobovou společnost a politiku. Pro komplexní uchopení tématu, inspirativní otázky, široký rozsah pramenů i literatury a kompaktnost výkladu ji rozhodně doporučuje zájemcům o dějiny českého myšlení i politiky v 19. a 20. století., The authors view anti-clericalism as an important part of European modernization processes aimed at the church and its institutions, They monitor its character and transformations since the mid-1880s until the end ot the first third of the 20th century in the Hapsburg Empire and the first Czechoslovak Republic, taking into account differences and specific features in various social and ideological environments, in towns and in the country, and also in Czech compatriot communities in the United States. According to the reviewer, their monograph Czech Anti-Clericalism: Sources, Topics and Forms of Czech Anti-Clericalism from 1848 to 1938 permits perceiving the Czech anti-Catholic anti-clericalism in the European context as a multi-layered phenomenon which had a significant impact on the society and politics of that period. Because of its comprehensive grasp of the topic, inspiring questions it asks, its broad selection of sources and publications it draws from, as well the compact explanations it provides, the book is definitely recommended to all who are interested in the history of the Czech thinking and politics in the 19th and 20th centuries., [autor recenze] Marek Šmíd., and Obsahuje bibliografii a bibliografické odkazy
This year, we celebrate the 120th anniversary of the Czech Academy of Sciences and the Arts. Today's Academy of Science of the Czech Republic expands upon efforts of its several predecessors. The first was the Royal Bohemian Society of Sciences (1784-1952). The Czech Academy of Sciences and the Arts was established in 1891 through the significant financial support by the Czech architect and builder Josef Hlávka, who became its first President. It was known until 1918 as the Franz Josef I. Czech Academy of Sciences, Literature and Arts. The aim of this institution was to promote the development of Czech science and literature and to support Czech arts. The most important work of this institution was its publishing activities. Scholarships and financial support were also provided and smaller research units arose from its initiative as well. and Magdaléna Pokorná.
The use of metal detecting devices by the general public and the resultant plundering of archaeological sites is still one of the most painful issues in Czech archaeology. No simple or satisfactory solutions have been found. The aim of this paper is to objectively summarise the last 25 years of unrestricted use of metal detectors in the Czech Republic and its impact on the archaeological component of cultural heritage and on archaeology itself. The paper presents a quantitative model of metal detecting activities sourced from the available data. The results are employed to illustrate the effect of metal detecting activities on archaeological knowledge and to outline some related theoretical and methodological questions., Aleš Navrátil., and Obsahuje seznam literatury
