There he defended they assumed presidency of a U.S. Congress to remove the visa U.S. efforts to encourage newly free Czechoslovakia. Current Events Message from the Ambassador Dear Friends, With summer vacations behind us and many interesting fall activities starting to demand our attention, I would like to reflect briefly on some of the summer highlights in Czech-U.S. relations. As many of you know, visa equality with the United States has been a top priority of Czech foreign policy and an ongoing issue during my tenure as ambassador. Over the last year, through a campaign conducted by American Friends of the Czech Republic (AFoCR), many of you contacted your members of Congress asking them to include the Czech Republic and the other new European Union member states in the U.S. Visa Waiver Program (VWP). Your efforts have helped. In August 2007 President Bush signed new legislation that changes the requirements for VWP inclusion (see full story below). The majority of these Photo courtesy of Chad Wyatt changes involve modernizing and standardizing travel security measures between countries, although certain stipulations that previously kept some of the closest U.S. allies out of the VWP unfortunately still remain. Overall, this new legislation is a step in the right direction and I am grateful for your ongoing support. Other good news from the U.S. Congress is a congressional resolution to honor Nicholas Winton, the Englishman who saved 669 Czechoslovak children before the outbreak of World War II. Resolution 583, introduced by Congressman Ron Klein of Florida and backed by Congressman Tom Lantos of California, was approved in July by the House Committee on Foreign Affairs and will go to the House floor for debate this fall. The same day, Mrs. Annette Lantos, wife of Congressman Lantos and a Holocaust survivor herself, chaired a forum to honor both Mr. Winton and Raoul Wallenberg, the Swede who saved over 100,000 Hungarian Jews during World War II. (see story page 1). Mr. Peter Rafaeli, the Czech Honorary Consul General in Philadelphia, was pivotal in introducing the Winton story to the U.S. Congress and I am grateful for his efforts. Other summer highlights include the unveiling of the Memorial to the Victims of Communism in June attended by President George Bush and Czech Senator Martin Mejstrik, who came to Washington especially for the unveiling and its related events (see story page 3). Prague Mayor Pavel Bem also visited the United States this summer to support and attend the Prague Days in Chicago festival (see story page 4). Looking ahead, our fall cultural season has many wonderful events to offer. Among the highlights are a September concert by the legendary Czech rock band Plastic People of the Universe, and a November concert by the Czech-born, New York-based singer and musician Marta Topferova. Plastic People, who symbolized resistance to Czechoslovakia’s communist regime, will perform their unique style of rock, while Topferova and her band will bring a Latin flavor to the Embassy. Ms. Topferova, described as a “leading light” of the nueva cancíon movement of Latin America, personifies a bridge between the cultures of the Americas and Europe. She and her band will perform a mix of original songs in Spanish combined with selections from her Czech folk music CD, Homage to Homeland (please see Ms. Topferova’s story on page 6). Also this fall, the world-renowned Czech film director Jiri Menzel will attend the European Film Showcase in the Washington metropolitan area to screen his latest film “I Served the King of England.” For a full list of fall cultural events, please see page 11. I look forward to seeing all of you this fall. Warmly, Petr Kolar Visa Waiver Program Modernizing n August 3, 2007, ity with the United States.

An admirer of H. G. Wells and Chesterton, Čapek was rather well known in Masaryk’s own writings on the course of Czech history, his war memoirs, and English translation before the Second World War.

  • Jaroslav Tůma Tomáš Jamník Gustav Mahler and Prague
    czech music quarterly 1 | 2 0 0 7 Jaroslav Tůma Tomáš Jamník Gustav Mahler and Prague Dear Readers, As you have certainly already noticed, Czech Music Quarterly has been graphically reworked for 2007. We thought that the existing design needed freshening up, and I hope the new appearance of the magazine will give you the same pleasure that it has given us. The smaller format and more attractive paper should make for more comfortable reading. This issue of the magazine also comes with a free CD, containing pieces by six contemporary Czech composers, which means that Czech Music Quarterly is now a magazine not just to be read but to be “listened to” as well. The Chamber Music compilation is the fi rst in a series. You can read more about the whole project in the preface to the CD itself and so I here I shall just draw you attention to the article by Miroslav Pudlák, which is related to the CD and highlights some aspects of the contemporary Czech scene in composing. I would also like to remind you that you can order older numbers of Czech Music Quarterly – if we have any of the ones you want, we shall be glad to post them to you. You can fi nd a list of the contents of all preceding numbers at www.czech-music.net, and there is plenty of choice! And please feel free to contact us any time if you have a question or a comment – just write to the e-mail address [email protected].

  • Introduction
    2008 ACTA UNIVERSITATIS CAROLINAE – PAG.117–126 STUDIA TERRITORIALIA XII JAZZ IN CZECH CULTURE AFTER WORLD WAR ONE: CLASH OF WESTERN MODERNITY WITH CENTRAL EUROPEAN TRADITIONALISM MILOŠ CALDA Abstract The paper deals with the reception of American culture in the interwar years, the time when the Czech cultural elites tried to abandon the traditional Central European patterns and reoriented themselves to embrace those of Western Europe and North America. The reorientation was accompanied by the discovery of exotic new genres like film and jazz. Perhaps surprisingly, the Western culture was enthusiastically received by the Left. The two prominent representatives of this direction were the left-leaning intellectual Emil František Burian and the Liberated Theatre (Osvobozené divadlo) with such individualities as the composer Jaroslav Ježek and its two main protagonists, playwrights and actors Jiří Voskovec and Jan Werich. The paper focuses on the first Czech book on jazz music, E. F. Burian’s Jazz (1928), in which the author, apart from many misjudgements, constructed a novel model of culture hitherto unknown in Central Europe, the model that combined sports, social patterns, lifestyle, modernity, and left-wing politics. The difficulties with finding out what jazz really was are also treated as well as the factor of “technological reproducibility” (W. Benjamin). Lastly, the contribution of Vladimír Polívka, the leading informant of the Czech society about musical life in the United States in the interwar period, is assessed. Keywords: jazz, American popular music, cultural reception, modernity, cultural Left, E. F. Burian, Jaroslav Ježek, Vladimír Polívka, age of technological reproducibility Introduction The paper examines the influx of American popular culture into Czechoslovakia in the aftermath of World War One.
