| Popis: |
The topic of this piece of work is lustrations in Czechoslovakia, or more precisely a discourse on this issue, which was carried on the ground of the Federal Assembly (FS) of the Czechoslovak Federal Republic (CSFR) in 1991. The piece of work combines methods of a discourse analysis and an analysis of the political and historical background, where the discussion unfolded. The bases for the analysis are the stenographic entries of the FS of Czechoslovakia from January to August 1991, the period from the start of negotiations of the lustrations of the deputies of FS themselves, up until the adoption of the lustration law. For the purpose of conducting a detailed study, a narrower corpus was compiled, containing utterances of the main participants of the period. Selection of the participants was conducted according to a key that strives for taking into account the partisan, ideological and personal plurality of opinions of the former Federal Assembly. The aim of this piece of work is to document in compliance with the particular utterances both the development, or more precisely the emergence of the discourse of this issue, and the nascent of the political identities, which at that time (not only) due to the lustrations, were constituted. |
