Reflection of historical facts in a fantastic example of the Star Wars saga
Hadrabová Rauschgoldová, Scarlett ; Beneš, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Kudlová, Klára (referee)
The thesis deals with the issue of depicting long-past and entirely topical historical events in the Star Wars film saga. Given the current size of the Star Wars universe, this work must be limited to films known as "Episodes" (numbered I through IX) and two relatively new feature spin-offs, while everything else will be mentioned only marginally. This work maps in detail how each of the three trilogies of this saga, as well as both spin-offs, show the main problems of the time in which they arose and to which other historical facts they want or can refer. The aim of the work is thus to show that the genre widely regarded as "escape" and "completely detached from reality" reflects historical reality very strongly by its specific artistic means. Keywords Star Wars, historical reality, science fiction, speculative fiction, space opera, SF movie, story, neomyth, George Lucas, Cold War, politics
"The watchword of the times is: fast. The meaning of the times is: transformation. That is the method and the goal." The influence of the USSR and the Soviet artist on the Czechoslovak interwar avant-garde
Main, Alexandra Valerie ; Michela, Miroslav (advisor) ; Beneš, Zdeněk (referee)
(in English): The aim of this Intersdisciplinary diploma thesis is to analyze the influence of the Soviet Union and Soviet artists on Avant-Garde Czechoslovak theatre during the years of the First Republic and including a slight overlap into the post-Second World War era. The purpose is to show the different approaches of the emerging Avant-Garde movement in Czechoslovakia and its reaction to Soviet influence. These approaches are specifically shown in the examples of E.F. Burian and the various Avant-Garde theatres in which E.F. Burian performed or co-founded. The emphasis then shifts to the Osvobozené divadlo of Jiří Voskovec and Jan Werich and looks at the influence of Jindřich Honzl - an important link between these two theatres and a prominent promoter of innovative theatre aesthetics from the Soviet environment. The difficulty of assessing the influence of Soviet propaganda and Soviet artists is also due to the fact that Soviet artists were not always working towards a Soviet goal but were documenting purely artistic responses in the social conditions in which they were working. I use the methodology of comparative analysis. The source of the work will be first and foremost primary texts (such as archival funds, period manifestos, essays), then press and secondary literature. The title of the...

Ferdinand Engelműller, Míla Pačová - Krčmářová graduated at his school, or Jan Štursa, to whom Míla Pačová - Krčmářová always stood as a muse). Apart from Míla Pačová - Krčmářová this work reconstructs in a similar way the impact of Prof. JUDr. Jan Krčmář 's social bonds in relation to his recurring post as a minister of education and national enlightenment, which stands for the area of culture - creative arts. The work describes Krčmář as passionate art lover, patron, member of many art communities and analyzes in detail the problems that were faced by the community "Společnost vlasteneckých přátel umění v Čechách", which was led...

Kindl, Martin ; Beneš, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Hojda, Zdeněk (referee) ; Jiroušek, Bohumil (referee)
The abstract of dissertation thesis The Life and Work of Historian Josef Polišenský The presented dissertation thesis is an attempt to analyze certain chapters from the life of the historian Josef Polišenský and his scientific activities. We analyze the existing works and reflextions about his personality in the first part of the thesis. The next part of the thesis is focused on those topics that have been minimally reflected so far: We demonstrate the influence of his scientific predecessors on his work, generational experiences, the influence of Marxism, Structuralism and his efforts to influence historical methodology. We found out the source of his admiration for historian František Kutnar and we explored the rivality between him and his colleague František Graus. The next part of the thesis is devoted to Josef Polišenský's role in the study of White Mountain and the Spanish Civil War. The result of our dissertation thesis is that Josef Polišenský was not only a "positivist", but also a historian who tried to influence methodological approaches especially during the 50's, the time of his essential works.

Historical Atlases 1848-1989 and Central European Area Mgr. Jitka Močičková Abstract Historical atlases are a specific type of document whose character gradually formed on the background of several traditional genres (geographical atlases, historical manuals and compendia, etc.). From their beginnings, dating back to the early modern period, they were thus on the borderline between the humanities and the natural sciences. Their significant modernisation and increase in production took place during the 19th century. Their form and content were influenced not only by the contemporary state of historical knowledge, the level of cartographic skills and technologies (printing techniques, development of colour print) but also by the education policies of individual states, as a significant part of the production of historical atlases were from the second half of the 19th century intended for the needs of school teaching (but there were also popular-educational and scientific works). The seemingly unbiased genre, which maps the past, was equally significantly imprinted with the present, especially the current political and social situation (e.g. the rise of modern nationalism or the totalitarian and authoritarian regimes of the 20th century) and therefore had undeniable persuasive potential. The primary role of...

The main features are Jaroslav Goll as a charismatic tutor, his organization skills or social net of personal relations. These all eventually put together few historians, who are today known as Goll's School.
The Valley of the Bees. Analysis of a historical film. The historical film and the making of historical cognizance. Historical film in teaching history
Balík, Ondřej ; Beneš, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Klimeš, Ivan (referee)
I have always considered the enormously powerful and influencial film art to be an interesting topic for various reflections. The obvious difference between written literature, which works with the imagination of a reader, and the illusion-based film, makes us ask what information a viewer gets from a film, and what implications it bears. In order to get an answer to this question, I decided to choose a film and to analyse it. The historical feature film Údolí včel (The Valley oj the Bees) is an outstanding work of art of the famous Czech film director František Vláčil and the screen writer Vladimír K6mer, who made this film in 1967. The story is set in an the thirteenth century. A young son of a Czech thane Ondřej is sent to a monastic knight order. He meets a friend there - Armin von Heide - a hard and a somewhat fanatic knight. Ondřej runs away from the monastery, chased by Armin. At home, he takes care of Vlkov, an estate he inherited from his father. He falls in love with his stepmother and they decide to get married. But on the day oftheir wedding, Armin, who finally found Ondřej, decides to kill Ondřej 's young wife. In his despair, Ondřej lets his dog s kill Armin and then leaves home to retum to the monastery.
