Adaptační procesy a jejich aktéři v modernizující se Evropě

key concepts centred around four research perspectives: 1) long-term development and ancient
historical roots of contemporary adaptation strategies that build on memory, tradition, respect
for historicity, recognising the relatively recent emergence of the concept of cultural heritage and
its protection; 2) the city as a dominant social framework, e.g. from the perspective of commodified historicity; 3) the politics of expertise and power, focusing on the relationships between the
production of knowledge and governance, the growing importance and adaption of the role of
experts and technocrats in the professionalisation of social management as well; 4) the emic perspective of contemporary social actors – individuals or groups. In the first part of the article, the
authors outline these four perspectives, while in the latter part, organized as a roundtable, they
situate the key concepts in the context of their disciplines and open a discussion to be continued
throughout the project.
