“Prague: Between the Hidden and the Revealed”
Students of the seminar “Prague: Between the Hidden and the Revealed” went on an exciting week-long excursion to the capital of the Czech Republic with Prof. Raz Chen-Morris, Dr. Semyon Goldin and Dr. Iris Nachum.
Which aspects of its tremendous rich history does Prague try to conceal? Which past events, persons, places and objects does it disclose and stage? How and why are some parts of the city’s history disguised, while others are accentuated and even celebrated? These were key questions that guided our stay in the capital of the Czech Republic. Asking them not only assisted us in exploring the city’s intriguing past and fascinating presence. It also helped us in looking at the broader picture of historical narratives, myths and realities, of memory and forgetting in Central Europe.
The study trip took place in April 2023 and was organized in cooperation with the Program of Hebrew and Jewish Studies, Department of Middle Eastern Studies, Charles University Prague.
