Masopustní obchůzky na Hlinecku jako jev nemateriálního kulturního dědictví UNESCO a jejich interpretace

The diploma thesis focuses on Shrovetide door-to-door processions in the villages of the Hlinecko area, which were inscribed in 2010 on the Representative List of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, and their interpretation. The aim of this work is to acquaint the reader with Shrovetide door-to-door processions in the villages of the Hlinecko area, to assess the suitability and forms of interpretation of this phenomenon and to find out what impact its inscription on the Representative List had. The first part of the thesis was created using the method of working with secondary data. It is devoted to the definition of theoretical concepts necessary to understand the context, characteristics of the area and marginally also the UNESCO world organization. The practical part, with the help of observation methods and controlled interviews, examines in detail Shrovetide processions and describes the nomination and inscription process on Representative List, specifically for this phenomenon. It appraises the current forms and appropriateness of its interpretation, explains how the phenomenon is generally interpreted and analyzes the impact of the inscription on the Representative List, whether on attendance, participants or the general public.
