A Window to the West? Public Health, American Progressivism, and De-Austrianization in Interwar Czechoslovakia
During Czechoslovakia’s first decade, the state promoted public health reform and sponsored research surveys on healthcare and social welfare resources. Czechoslovak government leaders and healthcare professionals embraced a rhetoric of American progressivism and de-Austrianization to portray their country as forward-looking, democratic, and rational. Through the work of President Tomáš G. Masaryk’s daughter, Alice G. Masaryková, Czechoslovakia d…
István Deák’s “Czech” School
Students of István Deák have been at the forefront of problematizing the Czech national narrative, particularly following the fall of Communism. The Czech nationalist interpretation of history casts the Czechs as an imprisoned nation within Austria (and later inside the Soviet bloc). In this schema, the 1620 Battle of White Mountain ushered in an era of temno (darkness) during which the Germanic Habsburgs suppressed the Czech national language an…

Rotating Spheres: Gendered Commemorative Practice at the 1903 Jan Hus Memorial Festival in Prague
It will be a memorable day for every Czech. In 1903, former mayor Dr Jan Podlipný used these words to petition the Prague City Council to finance a nationalist festival dedicated to the memory of Jan Hus. Arguing for a celebration devoted to the fifteenth-century priest and church reformer who had become a nationalist icon in the nineteenth century, Podlipný emphasized the “memorable” quality of the planned event. 2 Indeed, the purpose of the cel…
The Czech Nation must be Catholic!” An Alternative version of Czech Nationalism during the First Republic
Jaroslav Durych, a popular Czech Catholic poet and essayist, began his weekly column in Lidové listy's (People's News) 10 May 1923 issue with the following proclamation: “The Czech Nation must be Catholic!” What did Durych mean by this puzzling statement? The majority of Czechs in the new Czechoslovak state considered themselves at least nominally Catholic. Yet Durych's article did not address the confessional status of Czechoslovakia's populatio…
