Abstract
ABSTRACT The study is the first to examine Anglo-Czechoslovak relations during the second world war from the perspective of discourse analysis. It reconstructs the evolution of the Czechoslovak exiles’ Anglophilia through articles published in three major exile newspapers – Čechoslovák, Mladé/Nové Československo and Nová svoboda – between October 1939 and May 1945. It claims that the new significant Other, whose image included numerous idealizations as well as objective reflections, liberated exiled Czechs and served as an important guide in the quest for a better future for their own country. The study also demonstrates how quickly favourable conditions can create fruitful transcultural space between nations that had, hitherto, been separated by geography, culture and language.
本研究首次从话语分析的角度考察了二战期间英捷关系。它通过在1939年10月至1945年5月期间在三份主要的流亡报纸Čechoslovák、mlad / nov Československo和novvoboda上发表的文章，重建了捷克斯洛伐克流亡者亲英主义的演变。它声称，新的重要他者，其形象包括许多理想化和客观的反思，解放了流亡的捷克人，并在为自己的国家寻求更美好的未来方面发挥了重要的指导作用。这项研究还表明，有利的条件可以在迄今为止因地理、文化和语言而分离的国家之间迅速创造出富有成效的跨文化空间。
