Olga Havlová jako spiritus movens disidentských společensko-kulturních aktivit v 80. letech 20. století

Abstract

This master's thesis focuses on Olga Havlova (1933-1996) as a representative of several selected types of activities with which her name is often strongly associated. It seeks to answer the question of how these events unfolded, what they meant to the participants involved, and what role she herself played in them, with particular attention to the perspective of her immediate circle and to the ways in which her role was constructed and interpreted by other participants. Specifically, the thesis explores the traditional celebrations of her birthday, the staging of vivid images (tableaux vivants), and particularly the Self-Help People's Library Hrobka, the magazine Novy brak, and the horror film Lilian. The thesis also examines the response to these activities by the State Security (Statní bezpecnost). Methodologically, the work is based primarily on oral history and archival research.
