Devatenácté století a české a polské dějepisectví – rozdílné perspektivy bez sporných témat?
XIX century in the Czech and Polish historiography – different perspectives without topics?

Summary/Abstract: The author neither reviews Czech historiographical publications presenting Czech-Polish issues in the nineteenth century, nor he focuses on Polish-Czech relations in the above mentioned period. He rather investigates Czech-Polish interpretative contexts of both Universal History and Polish resp. Czech History. The major fields of his interest are various perception determinants of the nineteenth century, i.e. how the national historiographical stance determines perception, meaning and interpretation of historical processes in the neighbor states. Thus he refers to historiography oriented towards National Movements. He also presents parallels (resp. similarities) and differences between Polish and Czech historiographical narrative patterns, and suggests some new research proposals. E.g. in case of Czech-Polish relations he emphasizes that there is a deep need of thematising the „inner” function of Polish-Czech contacts resp. relations within Polish and Czech intellectual milieu. E.g. he quotes different strategies of Polish and Czech National Movements, he also presents „Polish” dimension of Czech national movement in the late nineteenth century, particularly in Great Poland. In recent times researches call for including Polish-Czech (comparative) history in the framework of universal history. Their research proposals also refer to such (usually omitted) topics as: social classes in the Czech lands and Galicia at the end of the eighteenth and at the beginning of the nineteenth centuries, bilateral Polish and Czech inspirations do literary and artistic modernity (Prague-Vienna-Cracow), the rise of regional identities, relations between Czech and Kashubian Movement etc.
