Regionalism and the (re-)construction of subnational communities: Chodsko and Kdyně in South-Western Czechoslovakia, 1918-1948
Original language description
This chapter examines interwar regionalism in Czechoslovakia with a focus on regionalist projects in south-western part of the state. Drawing on recent approaches in regionalism studies and spatial humanities, it views regionalism as ideology, discourse on space and society, and spatial practice that strove to (re)construct subnational and territorially defined communities into knowledge-based and self-conscious regions, while also restructuring society and state on regional principle. The first part examines major facets of regionalist movement in Czechoslovakia, highlighting its fundamentally pro-modern, science-based, planning-wise and future-oriented spirit. The second part delves into multi-scale dynamism of regionalism by looking at how regionalist activities that were related to varying scales, such as the small town Kdyně with its immediate surroundings, the culturally distinctive border region of Chodsko, and Czechoslovakia at large, intertwined and reinforced each other in the regionalist endeavours of Jaroslav Štěpánek, a key proponent of Czechoslovak regionalism. The third part demonstrates how a particular version of the regional past and tradition was authorised by Štěpánek and employed in his regionalist efforts. In a broader sense, this chapter draws attention to three important aspects of interwar regionalism: agency of smaller urban centres, multi-scale dynamics of regionalist movement, and multifaceted relations between tradition and modernity.
