The late eighteenth century had been an especially turbulent time across large parts of Europe with the Habsburg Empire, and Bohemia in particular, being no exceptions. The effects of revolutions of many kinds (scientific, industrial, Enlightenment, French) were reverberating across nations which were themselves emerging, no doubt haphazardly but with increasing momentum, to a new consciousness and identity. We shall try to capture some synthesis of these effects as they appeared in Prague in large movements (political and religious), in institutions and in individuals. The lecture (c. 50 minutes) by Steve Russ will be preceded by a short presentation (c. 30 minutes) of the GA ČR Junior Star project PragMatika by Elías Fuentes Guillén, its principal investigator.
