Abstract: The presented text aims to describe the transforma tion of the place of memory - the cave and the church of St. Prokop in the Prokop Valley - from the Middle Ages to the present with emphasis on the modernization processes of Czech history (Industri alization, secularization, urbanization, nationaliza tion). The work traces the period from the beginning of the "artificial" creation of the pilgrimage’s place in connection with the legend of St. Procopius, through the weaking of the religious feast in con nection with new national-patriotic ideological pro gram, to the desacralization of the landscape and gradual loss of identity of the place due to limestone mining. "The creation of image" of this place of memory in the topographical (ie. proper) sense is documented primarily on "narrative" sources of an artistic nature (literature, painting). |
