K dobovým náhledům na les českého středověku. Literární klišé nepřátelského prostředí
(Contemporary Attitudes to the Forest in the Czech Middle Ages. The literary cliché of the Forest as a hostile environment), S. 733-768
This article deals with the contemporary perception of the forest in the medieval Czech Lands and its development from the beginning of the 12th century until the early 15th century. It points out the very crux of romantic concepts in terms of the medieval imagination as presented by some representatives of the Annales School. It attempts to outline the possibilities of the reconstruction of fragmented attitudes to the forest environment held by medieval man. The author makes use of written and archaeological sources. For comparison purposes he also embraces the conclusions of anthropological studies.
Key words: the history of mentalities, medieval imagination, the forest in the Middle Ages, nature in the Middle Ages, the history of everyday life, Czech countryside, the romantic concept of the Middle Ages

HAVLÍK Jiří M.
Spor českého duchovenstva o imunity církve. K politickým aktivitám pražského arcibiskupa Jana Bedřicha z Valdštejna
(The Bohemian Clergy’s Disputes on the Immunity of the Church. On the political activities of the Prague Archbishop Jan Bedřich of Waldstein), S. 769-796
This study deals with the polemics of the Bohemian ecclesiastical estates with the state apparatus and lay estates in the first half of the 1690s. The positions it adopted at the 1693-1694 Diet are considered to be the pivotal point in the development of the standing of the Bohemian clergy at the Bohemian Land Diet. They ultimately led to the temporary expulsion of clergy from the proceedings. Using sources deposited in local and foreign archives, the author attempts to unveil what the Bohemian clergy really desired and demanded in the 1690s.
Key words: spiritual estates, Bohemian Land Diet, the early Modern Age, ecclesiastical history, Jan Bedřich of Waldstein, church immunity

KUČERA Rudolf
Páni kamarádi. Gender v raném dělnickém hnutí českých zemí před rokem 1848
(Messieurs Brethren. Gender in the early labour movement in the Czech Lands before 1848), S. 797-822
This study deals with the role of gender in the early labour movement in the Czech Lands before 1848. It analyses the gender composition of collective labour protest, as well as discourse practices which helped to constitute the protesting body. Using this analysis, the study comes to the conclusion that the composition of early labour protests was exclusive in terms of gender and that the discourse practices, which constituted the protesting labour subject were the expression of the cultural representation of the newly emerging form of working class masculinity.
Key words: The Czech Lands 1815-1848, history of labour and the labour movement, the history of gender, the history of masculinity, cultural representation, collective protest

LACH Jiří
Nakladatelství Jana Laichtera a jeho působení na českou nakladatelskou kulturu
(Jan Laichter’s Publishing House and his Influence on the Culture of Czech Publishing), S. 823-853
Jan Laichter and his son František Laichter contributed to an extensive development of the Czech publishing culture in the 20th century. The article follows the milestones of this process using their own optics, comments, write-ups or correspondence in viewing the needs of publishing sector, book culture and readers. Jan Laichter publishing house aimed towards systemic production of scholarly books and soon became one the most essential resource of this genre in the Czech lands. Laichters’ reflections demonstrate clearly their dedication to a quality book which was supposed to expand cultural horizons of the Czechs. Both father and son after him subordinated a momentary financial profit to a careful and long-term publishing scheme. Jan and František Laichters are witnesses of a massive dependence of book publishing sector on momentary political settings. František Laichter in particular had to face two totalitarian regimes and sought methods how to deal with censorship and open political threatening.
Key words: Jan Laichter, František Laichter, Czech publishing culture, literature, historiography, Czechoslovakia
