Course objectives
This course is aimed at studying reportage as a specific form of expression and also a particular creative method; starting with Czech travelogues from the end of the 15th to the 17th century, including elements of reportage in the works of the 18th and 19th century writers, up to famous figures at the turn of the 20th century. We will also focus at works of the 1920s and 1930s reporters and the relative revival of reportage in the 1960s.
