Anti-patrioten, Traitors, Murderers in white cloaks. The image of "The Jew" as an "enemy" in the propaganda of late stalinism
Šimová, Kateřina ; Reiman, Michal (advisor) ; Kolenovská, Daniela (referee)
The period of late Stalinism (1948-1953) witnessed sharp rise of anti-Jewish animosity and discrimination from the part of the Soviet regime. These tensions were caused by both domestic factors (ideological diversification of Soviet intellectual elite, escalation of Jewish nationalism, struggle for power among highest nomenclature) as well as international factors (transformation of the Soviet-Israeli relations, rise of the Cold War). The thesis analyzes, how these circumstances were reflected at that time. Therefore it tries to identify, how the image of "The Jude" was formed by the Soviet propaganda and how it changed in the given time period. As a general framework for this analysis the concept of "The Enemy" will serve which is considered to be one of the basic elements of totalitarian ideologies. The thesis examines by means of semiotic method two significant propaganda campaigns of that period, namely campaign against the "cosmopolitism" in January - March 1949 and campaign accompanying "The Doctors' Plot" during January - March 1953. It would try to identify, how the image of "The Enemy" was connected at that time with the notion of "The Jew".

Travels to Utopia. The Image of Soviet Russia within the Czechoslovak Cultural Left in the Interwar Period.
Šimová, Kateřina ; Vykoukal, Jiří (advisor) ; Glanc, Tomáš (referee) ; Křesťan, Jiří (referee)
The proposed dissertation is devoted to the relations of the Czechoslovak cultural left to Soviet Russia in the interwar period. It focuses on the image of Soviet Russia, pointing out that for many Czechoslovak leftist artists and intellectuals it served as a framework for their own vision of an ideal socio-political arrangements. In their view, the image of Soviet Russia stood out as a utopia in the sense that the sociologist Karl Mannheim attributes to this phenomenon. The dissertation follows the evolution of this utopian image among the Czechoslovak cultural left in the early 1920s, maps the changes in its thematic structure and motives and follows its disintegration against the ideological split of the Czechoslovak cultural left in the late 1930s. This development is perceived through the analysis of travelogues in which left-wing artists and intellectuals presented their immediate impressions and experiences from this country. The semiotic text analysis method is being used for this purpose. By analysing the confrontational and transformative functions of the utopian image of Soviet Russia, the dissertation attempts to clarify the attitude of Czechoslovak artists and intellectuals towards Soviet Russia in the context of the socio-political situation of the interwar period and in the broader...

Šímová, Kateřina ; Urban, Luděk (advisor) ; NÁHRADNÍ, OPONENT (referee)
The rigorous thesis "Finanční rámec EU na roky 2007-2013 a přezkum rozpočtu: cesta k efektivnějšímu využití společných financí?" deals with the funding of the European Union after the year 2007. Based on the analysis of the debates on the financial perspective and of the contributions to the public consultation (using the descriptive and analytical method), the thesis proves that the EU budget is not efficient enough and doesn't enable the Union to tackle actual problems nor to achieve the agreed targets in an appropriate way. The analysis also points out that the review will probably not lead in a deep reform because the States promote mainly their own interests. The purpose of the thesis is not to analyse the EU budget from a purely economic point of view but to show the influence ofthe Member States and all the actors involved on the finál content of the financial perspective and to explain why the budget isn't effective enough to finance the enlarged European Union and why any profoud reform of the EU funding can't be expected to také plače in the coming years. The thesis is divided into five chapters - first of all, we resume the evolution of the EU financing till the year 2007 and the main problems and pending questions conceming the budget. After it, we deeply analyse the negotiations on the...
