We are happy to announce that a new article by Karina Hoření was published in the journal Český lid (Czech Ethnological Journal).
The article delves into the ways in which residents of Liberec, a town in north Bohemia, are managing the property they acquired following the displacement of the German-speaking minority after World War II. It examines the narratives of this historical event within Czech public discourse and explores how these stories are echoed in family histories. The study is centered on three family histories gathered through ethnographic fieldwork and employs an analytical framework rooted in memory studies and hauntology theories.
The article is available in open access on the web page of Český lid and our website. We’d like to encourage you to check the whole issue of the journal as well.
