Description:
This article examines how memories of nobility in contemporary Czech society influence the narratives of the descendants of Bohemian nobility. First, the article focuses on the nobles’ values, which are deeply imprinted in the memory of the interviewees, even if they publicly deny this. Further, the article explores the reasons for the glorification of the interviewee’s fathers, drawing on concepts of analytical psychology. Examining the role of mothers and the role of education, the article finally illustrates how a family’s memory of nobility remains particularly stable, transcending generations.
