Výzkumné semináře Masarykova ústavu a Archivu AV ČR, v. v. i. & Institutu mezinárodních studií FSV UK Masarykův ústav a Archiv AV ČR a Inst itut mezinárodních studií FSV UK srdečně zvou na přednášku Brewing Ethnicity Revisiting the 1897 Riots and Beer Boycotts in Pilsen Alison Orton (University of Illinios at Chicago) 15. únor 2016 od 15 hod. Zasedací místnost ÚČL AV ČR Na Florenci 3, Praha 1 (vchod C, 3. patro) The lecture will discuss how self-identified “Czech” rioters who attacked Pilsen’s largest “German” brewery and later boycotters of Pilsen’s breweries used beer as a marker of national belonging – as both a connector and a divider of people. An examination of the riots in Pilsen is a part of my dissertation, which studies beer and the brewing industry as a way to deepen our understanding of the fluidity of nationalist sentiments in the Czech Lands and among migrants from the Czech Lands to the United States.
