Summary/Abstract: The 27th Munich Bohemist Meeting, held on March 10, 2023, marked a significant return to in-person gatherings after two years of pandemic-induced virtual sessions. Scholars from various countries, including Czechia, Slovakia, Austria, Italy, and the USA, convened to discuss current research projects on Czech and Slovak history and culture. The event featured diverse presentations, ranging from early modern patronage to trade and mass violence around 1900, emphasizing interdisciplinary approaches and epochal diversity. Highlights included discussions on collective music promotion in Vienna, the role of Prague's female artists in the First Czechoslovak Republic, and the regulation of the book trade between Vienna and Prague. The meeting underscored the importance of networks and institutions in shaping sociohistorical transformations, with a particular focus on Vienna and Prague. The final panel addressed social orders and public space in multiethnic Cisleithania and interwar Czechoslovakia, exploring themes of violence, nation, and status. The event concluded with informal exchanges, reflecting the ongoing interest in Bohemian studies.
