Negotiating the Place for a Dance
Stavělová, Daniela
2017 - English
The text focuses on the observation of the process during the features of traditional culture are transformed for the purposes of the present urban context. The study explores a rural carnival (called masopust in Czech Republic) in some districts of Prague since the early 1990s into a present festivity involving local people as participants. The process of rethinking carnival and (re)constructing the dance and music repertory is studied from the perspective of urbanisation. The contribution is based on the observation of the dichotomy of public/private space appropriated by the dance. Its goal is to disclose the role of the recent music and dance repertory in the process of local identity building.

Musician and audience: stage production and reception of Czech traditional music
Vejvoda, Zdeněk
2012 - English
Folk music in Bohemia started to find use as a social and political phenomenon as early as the 19th century, a time known as the Czech National Revival. Whereas Czech folk songs were collected by the thousand, in line with the romanticizing ideas of nationalism then sweeping across Europe, dance music performed in people's everyday lives remained long outside collectors' attention. The development of music folklore performed on stage was largely influenced by two exhibitions held in Prague – the Jubilee Exhibition in 1891 and the Czech-Slavonic Ethnographic Exhibition in 1895. Adaptations and stage presentations were becoming increasingly important research issues. A new impulse came from the inter-war avant-garde, whereas in the mid-20th century, the Czechoslovak Radio adopted a crucial role in the process. All that had a significant effect on the life and work of amateur “folklore” ensembles.
