When the King Died. Regulation of Social Life during Court Mourning of the 17th and 18the Centuries
Hrbek, Jiří
The declaration of a land mourning after the death of one of the members of the ruling Habsburg dynasty manifested itself in the Czech lands in the banning of public celebrations and entertainment. This ban was costly not only to musicians and operators of pubs and theatres, but also to all subjects who were to realise that a tragic event had taken place. Instead of a time for entertainment and festivities, it was the period of services for the deceased to take place throughout the monarchy and whose central point was the main church of the diocese.

Between art and the class struggle. The collective identity of typography workers n the context of 19th century sociocultural changes
Raška, Jakub
This study aims to link the cultural history of early industrialization with the beginnings of the labour movement, exploring the changing collective identity of printers and typesetters, both elite and elitist skilled print workers, at a time of basic social change. Due to their proximity to written culture, typographers were the first manual workers to take up the pen and themselves reflect on the changes in their position. The source material consists of Czech and German texts from the latter half of the 19th century. In order to compare typographers’ changing identities, texts and conditions from the Early Modern period are also examined. In addition to texts written by typographers, an examination is also made of typographic association activities and typographers’ strikes, as typographers’ identities increasingly changed.
Methodology for the Classification and Evaluation of Industrial Heritage: Water Management
Ryšková, M. ; Dzuráková, M. ; Pavelková, R. ; Vyskočil, Aleš
The methodology deals with water management facilities (dams, small reservoirs, waterways, facilities for the use of water energy, water supply facilities, sewerage and sewage treatment plants), which it assesses from the point of view of monument care. It provides a basic orientation in the topic, an overview of the typology and tools for evaluating water management facilities/objects. The structure of the methodology and the focus on evaluation criteria, which are not yet sufficiently known and accepted in monument care: the typological value, the value of the technological flow and involvement in wider systems are adapted to this. In monument care practice, it should thus contribute to improvements in the documentation, evaluation and objective selection of the most important examples designed for monument protection, which could help to eliminate (or at least mitigate) the protection imbalance of individual types of water management facilities. The methodology is intended primarily for employees of monument care and state administration. It is a tool for orientation in the topic of water management and for their evaluation from the point of view of monument care. It is also recommended as a teaching aid for high schools and universities with a technical focus in the field of water construction and water management.
Russian Political Reform – the Solution to the Crisis of the Russian State?
Vlček, Radomír
Russia's Political Reform – The Solution to the Russian State's Crisis deals with the genesis and development of a complex of reforms by which various Russian state officials have sought over the centuries to modernize Russia as a state in terms of its power, size, and the capacity of political and power competition. In all its parts, it openly and covertly asks whether it could have been prevented by revolutionary explosions, especially the Russian Revolution of 1917. It focuses primarily on the personality of Pyotr Jakovlevich Stolypin, Prime Minister of the Russian Empire from 1906 to 1911, but shows the genesis of his ideas in the deep past. Stolypin presents himself as a figure who has tried to push through a broad and also far-reaching set of reforms, the most significant of which were those on the agrarian issue. However, Stolypin's other attempts at change, especially on a social, administrative and judicial level, do not go unnoticed either. He's trying to show Stolypin without embellishing and in the context of historical events. The work has an analytical-synthetic character. It is a contribution to the history of ideas and ideologies, in the field of finding alternatives to the development of the Russian state and Russian society takes the form of a case study. Due to the lack of monitoring of this problem in Czech history, it relies on foreign, mainly Russian literature and edited sources.
Potential of Historical Water Management Objects in Tourism
Havlíček, M. ; Svoboda, J. ; Skokanová, H. ; Dzuráková, M. ; Pavelková, R. ; Vyskočil, Aleš
Historic water management facilities may have various uses in the field of tourism. Some water management facilities can be adapted for purposes of board and/or lodging of visitors, which is a common alternative use of former water mills, sawmills or hammermills (workshops for processing of iron by mechanical hammer). A smaller part of water management facilities serves within tourism as attractive goals for visitors, e.g. expositions in old water mills, hammermills, paper mills, sawmills, stamping mills, hydroelectric power plants, waterworks facilities. In addition to the above examples, the preserved water management structures can also become attractive if they become part of hiking and biking trails. These include aqueducts, remains of navigation canals, old wells, preserved and extinct old weirs and dikes. Some water management objects have cultural and historical significance and are protected as cultural monuments. An evaluation of the potential of historic water management facilities in all aspects of tourism was performed in selected river basins in the Czech Republic.
