“…Z pohledu nové regionální geografie však byly historické země zkoumány dosud pouze okrajově, přičemž do jisté míry upozaděno je studium regionálních identit Čech a Moravy, oproti regionální identitě Slezska (srov.

“…V porovnání s institucionalizací málo studovaná deinstitucionalizace regionů bývá označována za zánik/(z)mizení regionů a spojována se ztrátou administrativního statusu (Paasi 1991(Paasi , 2009Zimmerbauer, Suutari, Saartenoja 2012;Zimmerbauer, Paasi 2013;Zimmerbauer, Riukulehto, Suutari 2017;Šerý, Daňková 2021). Jak ale ukázal příklad finské obce Nurmo (Zimmerbauer, Suutari, Saartenoja 2012;Zimmerbauer, Paasi 2013;Zimmerbauer, Riukulehto, Suutari 2017), tento region byl spojením se sousední obcí pouze částečně deinstitucionalizován, neboť nezanikl, ale přetrval v myslích lidí coby percepční region (založený na řadě dalších institucí), nadále generoval regionální identitu mnoha lidí a navíc někteří vyjadřovali (i nějakou dobu poté) odpor tomuto sloučení; došlo nicméně k jeho transformaci (autoři se však příliš nevěnují teritoriálnímu tvaru, nýbrž symbolům a institucím).…”

“…Šerý a Daňková (2021) označují území dotčená administrativní reformou jako "amalgámy", neboť se zde spojují prvky deinstitucionalizovaných a nově institucionalizovaných regionálních identit -za vzniku "hybridní" regionální identity (Melnychuk, Gnatiuk 2018). Kromě vzájemného prolínání a podporování se si však mohou staré a nové regionální identity konkurovat, "střetávat se", vylučovat se, a tím transformovat jedna druhou (Terlouw, van Gorp 2014;Terlouw 2018;Šerý, Daňková 2021).…”

“…Název kraje má navíc další dvě výhody. Zaprvé odkazuje k jednomu z významných symbolů regionu -krajině (Paasi 1991;Chromý 2003;Chromý, Semian, Kučera 2014;Šerý, Daňková 2021), a tak se s krajem spádujícím do Jihlavy mohou ztotožnit například i obyvatelé Třebíče někdy považované za rivala Jihlavy. Zadruhé umožňuje vypustit slovo "kraj" (na rozdíl např.…”

Transformation of regional identity in Czechia: Case study of partly deinstitutionalized Bohemia and Moravia from the viewpoint of the Bohemian-Moravian borderland inhabitants

The article discusses the transformation of regional identity – both “identity of region” and “regional identity of people” – of partly deinstitutionalized Bohemia and Moravia in Czechia. It aims to understand better the role of “new” regional identities in the transformation of “old”/historical regional identities. A questionnaire survey with 454 inhabitants of the Bohemian-Moravian borderland revealed the crucial impact of the “new” administrative regions, not respecting historical boundaries, in the transformation of the “old”/historical regions’ territorial shape. This is connected with a change in regional identity of people. The names of “new” regions play a crucial role here, but their catchment areas are also important. The regional identity of people can be seen as another substantial institution reproducing historical regions since people’s (non-)identification with historical regions contributes to the transformation of these regions‘ identity, too. The results also show that the Czech Lands still exist as perceptual regions in people’s consciousness and are important for the identification of many people and regional activism alike.

“…Whenever new military and political equilibria were reached and state power was established, boundaries were redefined and loyalty to new dynastic powers was promoted or enforced (Szűcs, 1983). Subsequently, features to designate a new identity of that region were altered or newly created (Šerý & Daňková, 2021). Cities, neighborhoods and streets were renamed, narratives relevant to understanding events and phenomena were rewritten, administrative rules and regulations were revised in line with the wishes of the new political system in which the region was embedded, and new social and economic interaction patterns would emerge to reflect production and trading realities (Cardoso & Meijers, 2017;Zimmerbauer & Paasi, 2013).…”

City branding, regional identity and public space: What historical and cultural symbols in urban architecture reveal

City branding as produced by local governments has been widely recognized as a modern version of government communication. Local governments convey attractive features of their identity to current and potential stakeholders in their cities. In this contribution, we examine how municipal governments have used urban design as a form of city branding reflecting the identity of the historical (sub)region in which they are located. We do this in a French border region where features of medieval, Burgundian and Spanish Netherlandish traditions can still clearly be distinguished in public buildings: Nord-Pas-de-Calais, and more specifically its five subregions Maritime Flanders, Roman Flanders, Hainaut, Artesia and Cambrai. We systematically map historical and cultural symbols found on leading public urban architecture and indicate to which era of origin and identity feature they refer. We do this for a selection of 17 municipalities of over 20,000 inhabitants. We find that symbols to pre-French traditions are still very conspicuous (Flemish architecture, typical beer bars, selective use of ancient Dutch language), but also that as new political powers establish themselves in a region these symbols are redefined such that such regional identities are in line with new 'national requirements' and become 'innocuous'. Classicist building styles, French military works and war memorials and modernist architecture embed and blend with these ancient traditions and make regional identities multi-layered. Either way, 'thin' instrumental and identities pushed by governments grow 'thick' and deeply felt over the centuries.

Exploring the Role of Street Names in the Reproduction of Deinstitutionalised Regions

Looking theoretically at regions as historically contingent entities that have been evolving over time, this article aims to explore the relationship between the identities of old regions and their symbols through an innovative employment of street names. Methodologically, this study employed Geographic Information System tools, alongside a case study focusing on deinstitutionalised historical regions in the Czech Republic. In this context, street naming practices resulted in different spatial patterns in the symbolic representation of the old regions. It was discovered that regionally named streets perform a different function in terms of the internal and external identity of a region. Hence, our results suggest that the role of street names as actants involved in the reproduction of deinstitutionalised regions is ambiguous and in some ways contradictory. From this perspective, our results are consistent with previous findings that conceptualised deinstitutionalised regions and their boundaries as penumbral entities.
