Learning outcomes
|
The course focuses on the texts of music bands as well as on the texts of statements and general public speeches of political organizations of the far right. The course pays attention to the development of opinions that have been taking place in the Czech far right since the early 1990s especially the shift from nationalism to racism and further to neo-Nazism or neo-fascism. One of the aims of the course is to identify the "variables" that can be identified during this process and which can thus serve as an indicator of the changes that generally occur in groups tending to the far right. In addition, the course also serves to clearly distinguish the individual currents within the far right (reactionary populism, neo-fascism, neo-Nazism) and to determine their mutual differences and the consequences. Of particular interest is the phenomenon of the "hidden message", which often appears in far-right texts. It is about identifying topics (but also in general procedures) that try to use or follow the program of open (and legally punishable) political extremism in a hidden or indirect way.
The student will gain the following professional knowledge: - learn to identify key postulates associated with neo-fascism and neo-Nazism - gain a basic overview of ways to decipher "hidden messages" in far-right texts
