Řehák, Miroslav ; Rusin Dybalska, Renata (advisor) ; Junek, Marek (referee)
This work is based on the analysis of media image of the occupation of Czechoslovakia by troops of the Warsaw Pact in contemporary Polish press with focus on the role of the Polish army. The purpose of this work is to assess used media discourse of Polish communist newspapers which were informing about these events with focus on elements of propaganda, which were typical for the 60's in the Eastern Bloc countries. At the same time there is a comparison to media discourse of Polish emigration press in the United States. In the beginning, I will describe basic sources and literature and present results of research on topics such as the Prague Spring, Operation Danube and elements of newspeak. The theoretical part of this thesis begins with the context of historical progress which leads to the Prague Spring and Warsaw Pact invasion of Czechoslovakia afterwards. The subsequent chapters are dedicated to a brief history of Polish press after World War Two and also the theories of propaganda and newspeak. The practical part of this thesis is dedicated to the analysis of selected articles from newspapers such as Życie Warszawy, Żołnierz Wolności and Słowo Polskie. These articles are confronted with texts from Chicago's Dziennik Związkowy. I will summarize these findings in the final chapter. Key words...

Spiritual backround of Dvořák's cantata Stabat Mater
Řehák, Miroslav ; Sládek, Karel (advisor) ; Mašek, Vojtěch (referee)
The aim of this work is to find the spiritual backround of Antonín Dvořák's (1841−1904) cantata Stabat Mater. The work is divided into three main parts: a short summary of Antonín Dvořák's life before the composition of the cantata and the events which preceeded; the phenomenon Stabat Mater and the comparison of the origin and the conception of cantata with the chosen authors of the world's music and Dvořák's conception of the work, his emphasis and evaluation. The matter of the analysis is the process of merging of Dvořák's spiritual and musical life, the choice of Stabat Mater and his work's influence on his personal spiritual life. Another aspect of the work is searching for the criterion if the creation of musical work can be seen as spiritual or if it can't; the necessity of connection and life with the God's person, the Holy Ghost, unification with him and gradually growing into something which the artist can create in connection with the Holy Ghost and what through the Holy Ghost creates the spiritual work. Keywords Dvořák, Stabat Mater, Holy Ghost, pneumatology, prayer, spiritual formation, liturgic music Počet znaků (včetně mezer): 105 439
