Small nations and global identities: Czech questions

5th July 2018 @ 9:30 am - 5:30 pm

A one-day symposium considers the formation of modern Czech identity in the arts, politics and the media, focusing on key global events of the 20th century.

In addressing the relationship between the small nation and its global identity, the programme explores three themes: the mythic portrayal of interwar Czechoslovakia as a Western oriented state and of the Czech people as passive victims of global events; the cyclical gain and loss of state sovereignty, covering the separation of the Czech and Slovak Republics in 1993; the construction of Czechs identity in relation to ‘others’, including German, Slovak and Roma diasporas.
