Reflections from cultural history: the story of the Bohemian landscape in Romania - a sustainable past?

Original language description

In the 1820s, during the colonisation of the wild borderland of the Austrian empire, several thousand Czechs moved to the Carpathian Mountains region near the Danube River. They built six villages, each quite distant from the other. Today these villagescontain a population of about 2000. Strict ethnic endogamy helped to conserve their cultural distinction. The Czech minority still possesses its unique culture, including language, religion, traditions, crafts, farming, and food production. This paper isbased on approximately 20 visits to the region from 2000-2007, during which techniques of participant observation and qualitative interviews were used. Due to the geographic distance between the villages high above the Danube in the hills of the southernmost Carpathians, and thanks to their unique cultural character, traditional agriculture and food production have been preserved in a form which in many aspects remains the system practiced at the beginning of 20th century.
