| Description | The paper focused on the context of the construction of the new Lidice, the form of which emerged from an architectural competition held in 1947. Construction then began shortly after the communist February coup in May 1948. We want to focus on the forms and contents associated with the exhibition in the Czech media of the time. We will not focus on the specialist media; the aim will be to describe how information and discussion of the event were framed in print media intended for a general audience. We will be given texts and pictorial material in the contemporary press of both news and journalistic nature. We are interested in how the media image of the construction was constructed, what themes it is associated with, how the past is processed, and what current meanings are attributed to Lidice's construction (not the extermination). |
