Josef Cibulka's membership and activities in CIHA in the 1950s and 1960s: between agency in transnational networks and isolation within Czech art history.

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The eminent Czech art historian and theologian Josef Cibulka (1886-1968) was associated with the Comité International d'Histoire de l'Art for much of his professional life. In 1921 he attended the CIHA Congress in Paris for the first time. He was elected a member of the International Committee in 1937, its secretary in 1938, and later served as one of the International Comité's vice-presidents. Moreover, for a long time he was also the chairman of the Czechoslovak national committee for history of art. Building on Cibulka's previous pre-war involvement with CIHA, this paper will trace the period of the 1950s and 1960s. While his professional activities were severely restricted by the state regime in Czechoslovakia after the communist takeover, especially in the 1950s, and Cibulka, as a Catholic intellectual, became professionally isolated, his international contacts persisted, as did his important positions in CIHA. Cibulka and some other distinguished representatives of art history from the countries of the Soviet bloc ensured their countries a significant continuity of membership in CIHA, which was not interrupted even by the radical rewriting of the political map after the Second World War. The paper will focus primarily on how Cibulka's forced isolation, caused by the political interventions of the state regime in the functioning of Czech art history on the one hand, and the need of socialist Czechoslovakia to create a positive self-image on international scientific platforms on the other, came into conflict. In this paper, I will attempt to outline how this „conflict“ was transformed in the emerging period of „thaw“ and what this might say about the persistence and deepening of scholarly networks despite political upheavals and beyond political boundaries.n
