Title: Československý poválečný nacionalismus v mediální recepci snímku Jan Roháč z Dubé
Abstract: This study explores nationalist strategies inscribed in the media reception of the 1947 Czechoslovak movie Warriors of Faith.While the Slovak press paid only marginal attention to the film, I demonstrate that the Czech press developed an exclusionary Czech nationalist discourse of Hussite tradition while entailing other components of Czech nationalism such as pan-Slavism.The analysis shows that the film reviews can be differentiated according to a clash between non-communist and pro-communist camps.Although the non-communist press criticized the principles of socialist realism, cultural nationalism, and ahistoricism, it failed to present any distinctive narrative.On the other hand, pro-communist reviews framed the movie as a normative model for Czechoslovak politics and society, emphasizing elements of Czech nationalism, rendering it an authentic part of communist ideology.They did so by transposing historical realities to the present-day moment and prompting the "legacy fulfilment" of the proto-communist martyr Jan Roháč to (re)invent Czechoslovak unity and Slavic integrity.
