Cíle předmětu
This reading and research seminar examines the emergence of a new conceptual approach in cultural and historical studies in the early 1980s: social constructivism. In the first half of the course students read and discuss key texts published in this genre and then gradually turn their attention to a specific field of debate: the cultural heritage discourse of the last thirty years. The course explores how this discourse has influenced our conceptions about history, culture, and identity and led to the institutional development of heritage tourism in an increasingly globalized cultural landscape.

By the end of the seminar students should be able to:
-- Understand and work with the concepts of culture, tradition, and heritage.
-- Demonstrate knowledge of the cultural heritage discourse.
-- Conduct cultural research autonomously in the field of heritage studies.
