Descripción
What past emerges in the public spaces of present-day Prague? Who are the people recalling it through or with the help of music? This book takes readers to theatre stages, concert platforms, clubs and pubs, where they encounter Václav Havel, Milada Horáková, the tortured priest Josef Toufar, protest singer-songwriter Karel Kryl, underground icon Ivan “Magor” Jirous and Gideon Klein, the composer of the Terezín ghetto, as well as unnamed figures from the past and the composers, performers and other participants involved in remembrance. What is interesting, or even important, about this? As many memory studies scholars point out, collective remembrance is not a mirror image of the past, but an expressive statement of the interests and needs of those who remember in the present (Astrid Erll). Zuzana Jurková’s book thus bears witness to the people of Prague in the new millennium. The contents are in Czech.
