Supervisor: Mgr. Vjera Borozan, Ph.D.

The doctoral research entitled Migration of the Ethnographic Object explores the ways in which the ethnographic object is displayed in the context of discussions about decolonialism in countries that historically had no colonies. Specifically, the focus is on the history and presentation of the collections of the Náprstek Museum of Asian, African and American Cultures in Prague in the second half of the 19th century. In particular, the position of the ethnographic object in relation to the establishment of the modern nation-state and its setting in the development of the formation of the European imagination of the Other is taken into account. Methodologically, the project is straddled between decolonial critique and the framework of global history.
