‘The Miracle of Slušovice’. The Municipality and the United Cooperative Farm – Slušovice Agrocombine as the Pilgrimage Site of the Czechoslovak Consumerism at the Dawn of the Socialist State Era

Original language description

It would be impossible to find a more well-known unified cooperative farm in CSSR than JZD AK Slušovice before 1989. The study explores the transformation of a stagnating JZD into a prosperous socialist enterprise, and two areas of its activities, consumerism and the media, which made Slušovice an phenomenon of late-normalisation CSSR. The official media discourse oscillated between adoration and condemnation, and indirectly revealed the ideological and generational conflicts inside the ruling establishment. The unofficial media discourse did not disguise its suspicion over the operation of Slušovice’s cooperative, whose fictitious image as well as reality attracted filmmakers across all genres. The transformation into the biggest consumer attraction of the 1980s was the result of synergy between the enterprise’s expanding social policy and its involvement in the services sector. The demise after 1989 came quicker than it could have been expected in the preceding decade.
