Anotace
This is one of the courses of the UPCES programme (the Undergraduate Program in Central European Studies); the comprehensive information is available at: http://fhs.cuni.cz/FHS-239.html#3. The course aims to arm the students with a better understanding of both the socialist past materialized around them in the Czech Republic in the form of pieces of art, architecture, and urban planning, as well as in its less accessible forms, e.g. in films and propaganda.
