"Tito - a reliable friend". Media image of Czechoslovak-Yugoslav friendship during Tito's state visits to Czechoslovakia

Original language description

Josip Broz Tito, as head of state, visited Czechoslovakia three times: in 1946, 1965 and 1968. Especially his visits in 1946 and 1968 attracted considerable attention of the Czechoslovak public. The visit in 1946 was influenced by the spirit of the post-war euphoria and the associated atmosphere of hope for the future peaceful coexistence of European countries. Probably the strongest symbolic dimension had Tito&apos;s visit in August 1968 (a few days before the invasion of the Warsaw Pact troops, which prevented the reform efforts of the Prague Spring). In a way this visit also became the &quot;place of memory&quot; which is remembered even nowadays in the context of relations between Czech Republic/ Czechoslovakia and the post-Yugoslav countries. A paper will focus on discursive and semiotic analysis of the image of Tito&apos;s visits in Czechoslovak media of the era. We will follow mainly ensuing questions: - in which way was the Czechoslovak-Yugoslav friendship presented and which aspects of this relation were emphasised the most? - in which way was constructed the image of Yugoslavia? - in which way was depicted Tito in personal as a political leader? - how was this media image infuenced by the festive nature of the visits?
