Marie Hanzelková, Ph.D. serves as a Lecturer at the Institute of Czech Literature within the Faculty of Arts at Masaryk University in Brno, Czech Republic. Her office is located in building D/D.513 at Arna Nováka 1, 602 00 Brno, where she maintains an active teaching and research schedule through 2026.
Dr. Hanzelková's research interests focus on Czech literary traditions across historical periods, with specialized expertise in peddler's songs (kramářské písně), Czech sermons from the Little Ice Age period, immigrant ballads, and historical religious texts. Her interdisciplinary approach connects literature with cultural history, media studies, and historical sociology.
Analysis of her recent publications reveals a consistent pattern of research examining how historical Czech literary forms functioned as vehicles for information dissemination, cultural identity formation, and religious expression. Her work particularly emphasizes oral traditions like peddler's songs as historical media channels that transmitted news (and misinformation) across communities, with contemporary relevance to modern media ecology.
Dr. Hanzelková actively supervises bachelor's and master's theses in literary studies and teaches a diverse range of courses including Older Czech Literature, Shopkeeper's Songs, Czech for the 21st Century, and specialized instruction in teaching Czech as a second language. Her current research projects include Christological peddler's songs in oral tradition (2025-2027), Use of new technologies in teaching older Czech literature (2025), and Database of Czech peddler's songs (2024).
Her teaching portfolio spans both undergraduate and graduate levels, with courses covering historical Czech literature, literary analysis methods, multicultural education, and specialized language instruction for foreign students and staff at Masaryk University.
