"Looking Like the Other Guys": The 1914 Mobilization as a Masculine Experience in Czech Soldiers' Writings

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The article analyses the key motivations of Czech-speaking soldiers of the Austro-Hungarian army at the beginning of the Great War, finding an important connection between with their masculine identity and contemporary gender discourse. While loyalty of Czech soldiers to the Empire is often doubted, it is obvious that many of them were loyal to the image of war as a masculine enterprise - seeing the wartime society divided into the gendered spaces of war (the “front”) and peace (the “home”), they were willing to submit to the social pressure of collective behavior in the hope that while the war be soon over, it will bring them all the social capital attached to the hegemonic discourse of masculinity: status, power, access to resources and women. While this motivation was usually not in the foreground of their thoughts, based on their own accounts, it is clear it had played an important supporting role in making them to follow the mobilization orders in July and August 1914.
