Encyklopedie menších křesťanských církví v České republice

Contemporary Czech religiosity is undergoing a dynamic development and the religious scene is so diversified that it is difficult to understand. The Encyclopaedia of smaller Christian churches in the Czech Republic is approaching one of its fastest growing and at the same time the least known segments. The book provides an encyclopedic overview of 27 state-registered Christian or Christian-based churches and religious societies with the exception of the Roman Catholic, Protestants of Czech Brethren, Czechoslov…

Evangelické hřbitovy v Česku: nekrogeografická perspektiva

The article introduces the field of necrogeography to Czech social geography and provides information on existing (nationwide) data sources. The author takes the issue of Protestant confessional cemeteries as an example, briefly outlines the history of these special types of burial fields (established principally from the end of the 18th century until approximately the mid-20th century), and provides a historical geographical analysis of their regional distribution in the Czech Lands. The article proves the im…

Pohřební zvyklosti mladé církve. Prolegomena k nekrogeografii Církve československé husitské (a pravoslavné církve) v meziválečném období

This study complements and concludes the necrogeographic analysis of the Czech lands, and presents an overview of the confessional burial grounds of the Czechoslovak (Hussite) Church and the Orthodox Church. We can glean from the available sources that local and regional “Czechoslovak” cemeteries were established, although the Church as a whole (unsuccessfully) attempted to “nationalise” existing cemeteries. Later, the Church came to accept the interconfesional character of these cemeteries, and at t…

Tyršova apologie nového náboženství na pozadí islámu

This study refers to a li.le known area in which Czech aesthete, philosopher and Sokol founder Miroslav Tyrš (1832–1884) was involved, i.e. his religious thinking. Although Tyrš only wrote about religion as a sideline, it was of importance to him. In a study on Islam as the most advanced classical religion, he outlined the (anticipated) emergence of a “modern religion”, which he described within the context of Islam. Hence regardless of his inspiration and manifest objective, this work comes more under…

Neznámé počátky české sociální psychologie. Otakar Machotka: Úloha nevědomého činitele ve společenském chování

Although it is generally considered that the study of social psychology in the then Czechoslovakia commenced in the 1960s, the author here establishes the importance of the virtually forgotten earlier years of the discipline. The first Czech student of social psychology was a prominent sociologist and member of the Prague sociological school, Otakar Machotka (1899-1970), whose interest in matters psychological commenced in the 1940s and whose research into the subject continued during his period of exile in Am…

Baťov 1940 – první český empiricky podložený výzkum v oblasti sociologie práce

There is a forgotten chapter in (history of) the Czech sociology of work. In the early 1940s, an empirical study was conducted by Otakar Machotka among employees of the Bata company in Batov (today Otrokovice). One of the leading ﬁ gures of early Czech sociology, Machotka saw the closure of Czech universities during the Second World War as an opportunity to carry out original empirical research devoted to the sociological analysis of the workforce and consisting of a study of the social determination of work…

Poválečné Spojené státy americké očima českého sociologa. Nepublikovaná reflexe Otakara Machotky v kontextech.

One of the most significant Czech (social science) reflections of the United States was written by the sociologist Otakar Machotka (1899-1970) and was published in 1946. The author prepared an updated version of the chapter for publication reflecting the changes that American society underwent during World War II and its aftermath however, this could not be published and thus remained unknown. This rare find in the archives of the unfinished, yet very significant manuscript as to its contents and methodology a…
