Project ID: GA19-09017S
The project concerns research into the history of the Polish Studies in the Czech Lands in their university form until 1939. It monitors the development of the discipline from the birth of the Czech interest in the Polish language and literature at the time of the national revival (Dobrovský, Hanka, Šafařík, Čelakovský, etc.) until the closure of Czech universities under the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia. In the period following 1923, after establishment of the Polish Language and Literature Department at Charles University in Prague and the lectorship of the Polish language at Masaryk University in Brno, the project will focus on evolution of the Polish Studies at Czech universities, especially in the area of linguistics and literary science in a broader context of the Polish-Czech relations. The project will result in an original synthesis of the discipline's history in the form of a conclusive monograph, essays in specialized periodicals and presentations of the research outcomes at historical and philological congresses and conferences in the Czech Republic and abroad.
