Course Contents
The course provides an introduction into various aspects, factors, and determinants of political culture, and the ways how to conceptualize the notion from the multidisciplinary theoretical perspective. The students will analyze key approaches to political culture and also apply them to the Czech context. While referring to Czech history and the developments of Czech political culture, approaches of political science and political theory dominate over the more historiographic accounts in the structure of the course. The students will study theories of culture, classical theories of political culture, social capital (trust, civic ethos etc.), cultural determinism, the media in political culture, and critical reflections of (political) culture.
