Description:

The study of migration in the Czech lands in the early modern age should, in the author’s view, focus particularly on several basic questions. One of these is the cause of migration. Czech research has thus far tended to overlook the discussion discusion, where a Malthusian opinion on the fundamental significance of “overpopulation” is countered by opposing views that see the main cause of migration as being the appeal of the target regions. Other important question areas with regard to this migration are the supplementation of urban populations and not just the propertied classes that research tends to limit itself to. The regionalisation process in the Czech lands, viewed from the perspective of the intensity and direction of migration flows, geographic mobility in terms of social and professional categories, especially migration connected with the performance of various professions, questions about the links between migration and communication networks, the directions of migration flows and their forms (organised or unmethodical, forced or voluntary, seasonal or fluctuating), and the migration of marginal segments of the population. At the same time it is necessary to study the factors restricting migration, such as seigniorial agreement and the scope of the strengthening of serfdom, economic ties (inheritance rights), administrative boundaries (municipality, parish, estate, denomination, the geographical shape of the land), and the consequences of migration, for example, for life in the regions that the temporary migrants departed from, or for nationality developments in the country (shifts in language boundaries, Germanification of towns). This text also presents a systematic overview of the sources available in the Czech archives for the study of migration in the Czech lands in the early modern age.
