Vladimír Naxera – Petr Krčál:  Všichni proti jednomu? „Anti-kotlebovský“ diskurz na oslavách výročí SNP 2017 [All against one? „Anti-Kotlebian“ discourse during the SNU 2017 celebrations]

Abstract: Following paper aims to analyze so called “anti-Kotlebian” (Marian Kotleba is leader of neo-Nazi party) discourse produced during the ceremony held on the occasion of Slovak National Uprising celebrations in Banská Bystrica (2017). Our effort is to provide interpretation of this discourse in two levels. According to Norman Fairclough, the first level is called “discoursive production” and deals with analysis of speeches held by politicians. The second level aims to “discoursive practice” and is focused to characterize creation of “anti-Kotlebian front” which tries to unite “anti-Kotlebian” voters. Used data were created through semiparticipant observation of these ceremonies.

Keywords: Banská Bystrica, reproduction of discourse, Marian Kotleba, neo-nazism, Slovak National Uprising, Robert Fico

Lukáš Novotný: Pegida a migrační politika [Pegida and migration policy]

Abstract: Pegida exists since 2014 and is one of the most important contemporary organized form of social protest in Germany, and indeed, it is regularly demonstrating. It is associated with Dresden city and criticism of the current governing squad in Germany, and it understands as a proponent of the interests of „ordinary people“. This study will deal with Pegida, with a focus on the ways in which she criticizes the Federal Republic of Germany’s migration and asylum policies. This text is grounded in the fact that Pegida contributes to the current debate and to the existence of this „gap“. We will look at criticism of Pegida in the context of the current German debates on Leitkultur, about the role of Islam in today’s German society. The text will also present Pegida’s main development phase with focus of its program (Dresden theses), public speeches (especially on demonstrations) and the ideas of its representatives.

Keywords: protest, politics, Germany, Pegida, migration, opinion-policy gap
