Abstract
Following article aims to provide interpretation of 72nd anniversary celebration
of Slovak National Uprising in Banská Bystrica (Slovakia). Our paper stands as
a dramaturgical and discursive analysis of this occasion. More specifically, our effort is
focused on two main interpretation strains. The first interpretation strain is called “organizational
line”. In this argumentation branch, we try to present the result of complex
dramaturgical analysis of this occasion and also to provide an example and characteristics
of strategies and practices that can be utilized by state apparatuses to create their
perception as a guarantee of security of bystanders. In the second one (called “production
of discourse”) we try to analyse the processes of (re)production of political discourse related
to this public occasion and to Slovak National Uprising. Accordingly to this strain,
we also try to identify the main discourse that was produced or reinforced during celebration.
Main finding of our paper is based on fact, that public ceremonies can fulfil the
role of medium that serve to spreading of actual political discourse, adoration of actual
societal normative order and of positive portrait of state apparatuses. Our article thus
can be viewed as a contribution to debate concerned with the issues of political discourse reproduces through public spectacles.
