Miroslav Hroch a evropské studium formování moderního národa
Miroslav Hroch and the European Historiography on the Formation of Modern Nation

Summary/Abstract: The article attempts to define five phases in Hroch´s studies on national movements since the 1960s till today as well as the dominant empirical, interpretational and methodical features of his contribution – as they are internationally reflected. However, in some cases (the “phases A – B – C” of the national movement), this reflection is connected with decontextualization or misunderstandings of Hroch´s concepts and interpretations (e.g. the above mentioned phases A – B – C were not a result, but an introductory methodical tool of Hroch´s comparative study, and they are often interpreted only “by touch”), but that changes nothing on their inspiring impact. On this background, the articlle poses the question of “productive desinterpretations” of concepts, which are in the historiography (or generally cultural and social science) perhaps not an extraordinary phenomenon.
