Oldřich Hujer (25. XI 1880-1942) A Case Study of Mapping Czechoslovak Philology (with a Particular Regard to Baltic Studies)

Summary/Abstract: The paper results from an intersection of two methodologically identical, but materially different programmes mapping, the former, Baltic studies in Czechoslovakia (1918-1992), and Czechoslovak structuralism, the latter. Either domain is conceived of as a set of scholarly works, which are further analyzed both for their content, and for the context of their appearance. Oldřich Hujer, an internationally recognized Slavist and Indo-European comparatist, was a founding member of the Prague Linguistic Circle, although he was not a structuralist, and the key person bridging the generation gap between the older (Prusík – Geitler – Zubatý – Polívka) and the younger (Machek – Janáček – Trost – Erhart) tradition of Baltic studies in Czechia, although Hujer wrote no exclusively Baltic paper himself. Hujer’s philological views are interpreted here, as well as his role in organizing philological research.
