Относно концепта за чешки национален танц: защо и за кого?
On the Concept of Czech National Dance: What and for Whom?

Summary/Abstract: Dance like obkročák, polka, and sousedská have become so familiar by now that there is no doubt about them being folk, national Czech dances; they have made their way as Czech dances into the works of prominent Czech composers such as Bedřich Smetana, Antonín Dvořák or Bohuslav Martinů. The research is mostly interested in what helped the dances gain the status of Czech folk ones as well as national dances, when, for whom and why they worked as symbols of Czech citizenship and in what way the concept of ‚national dance‘ developed.
