Commercial Schools and Communities in Bohemia, 1848-1918: Activation, Participation, and Polarisation Petr Kadlec Narodopisna Revue, 2025 Studie analyzuje roli obchodních škol v životě různých komunit v Čechách v letech 1848–1918. Zabývá se třemi paralelními procesy: (1) aktivizací a účastí komunit při zakládání a podpoře obchodních škol a jejich žáků; (2) polarizací a rivalitou mezi komunitami ohledně podpory škol s různým vyučovacím jazykem; a (3) formováním nových komunit složených z absolventů obchodních škol. Text hodnotí význam komunit při utváření systému obchodního školství v Čechách a význam obchodního vzdělávání pro život komunit. Autor na základě různorodých zdrojů potvrzuje či vyvrací předpoklady týkající se vzájemného, částečně ambivalentního vztahu mezi komunitami a obchodními školami.

What seems especially signifi cant are the eff ects of the Industrial Revolution (the introduction and spreading of new technologies, the innovation in working procedures, the secondarization of the economy, etc.), the changes in the demand for certain commodities and workforces, increased due to the liberalization of the market and the improvement of transportation possibilities, and the more precise legislation regulating economic life and social transformations. The new – modern – society that was developing did not only have a new structure, but also other possibilities, ambitions and principles of functioning.
