Bachelor's thesis

Social construction of nationalism of American minority living in the Czech Republic

Abstract:

Bakalářská práce zkoumá sociální konstrukci vlastenectví u americké menšiny žijící v České republice. Práce je rozdělena na část teoretickou a praktickou. V teoretické části této práce jsou především definovány pojmy národ, nacionalismus a vlastenectví. Cílem praktické části, která je založena na kvalitativním výzkumu, bylo zjistit, jak Američané žijící v České republice vnímají své vlastenectví, a také jak se u nich projevuje. Praktickou část tvoří pět okruhů, které poukazují právě na to, jaký vztah mají Američané žijící v České republice ke své vlasti, co pro ně znamená vlastenectví a jak si vlastenectví v České republice udržují.

Abstract:

The bachelor thesis examines the social construction of nationalism of the American minority living in the Czech Republic. The thesis is divided into two parts, practical and theoretical. The theoretical part mainly defines concepts of nation, nationalism and patriotism. The aim of the practical part, which is based on a qualitative research, is to find out how Americans living in the Czech Republic perceive their patriotism and how they manifest it. The practical part is divided into five parts which for example refer to what kind of relationship Americans have with their homeland, what patriotism means to them and how they keep their patriotism here in the Czech Republic.
