Czech Soundwalk Production on the Second World War
Original language description
This chapter explores the performative and immersive dimensions of Czech soundwalks and sound installations related to the Second World War, emphasising their potential to reshape collective memory and the auditory representation of historical events. It examines how contemporary Czech artists, documentarians and sound designers engage with wartime narratives, especially where historical facts have been ideologically shaped or suppressed. Focusing on case studies from Terezín, Prostějov, Pardubice and Lidice, the chapter analyses how sound artefacts reconstruct key wartime moments, such as the persecution of Jews, the assassination of Reinhard Heydrich, and the destruction of Lidice. Drawing on the concepts of acoustic synecdoche and asyndeton, it investigates how soundwalks, through the lens of psychogeography, challenge traditional narratives and offer alternative modes of engaging with the past. The chapter argues that soundwalks, by integrating historical narratives with embodied experience, foster emotional and cognitive involvement, transforming collective memory and historical representation.
