Hugary's minority policy after 1990. Self-government of the German national minority
Luprich, Jan ; Chmel, Rudolf (advisor) ; Irmanová, Eva (referee)
This diploma thesis, which is focused on Hungary's minority policy after 1990 and self-government of the German national minorty, is divided into four main parts. In the first part of the thesis (Chapters I-III) I discuss the theoretic background regarding the terms "minority" and "minority policy" and furthermore the demographic development in the territory of the Republic of Hungary. The changes within the population as a whole and the nationality structure have been reflected here since 1945. This period could be considered as a milestone in the future development ofthe German minority in Hungary. In the second part of the thesis (Chapter IV) I deal with specific aspects of the Hungarian minority policy covering the period 1900 - 1989. The reason for that is the effort to put the historical events, directly affecting the political conception for minority protection or persecution of a given minority, in relation with current situation. Following three periods are in focus: period after the Austro-Hungarian Compromise, Post-Trianon Hungary and period of communist dictature. Especially during the last phase, the constant assimilation process of "national" minorities has been rapidly accelerated. In the third part (Chapters V-VII) I show in detail the development of the Hungarian minority politics in the...

Radoslav P a s s i a Aesthetics of Periphery and Border (To Selected Aspects of Periphery and Border Phenomenon in Slovak Literature of the 20th Century in Central European Context) Abstract The dissertation deals with selected aspects of periphery and border phenomenon in Slovak literature of the 20th century in Central European context. In the preliminary chapter Border the author focuses particularly on selected texts by Central European writers which are thematically set in the Eastern Carpathians. This radically multiethnic region is considered to be one of the relatively independent cultural areas of Central Europe by the author. Narrative perspectives of a stranger, outcast, migrant in combination with the themes of border and conflict between vernacular and alien are characteristic for the literary image of the Eastern Carpathian border area in the 20th century. The author looks at the way the literary appearance of this area is ideologically deformed in the works of individual authors. The writers (mainly Czech and Polish) who do not come from the Eastern Carpathian border area use characters of strangers to reflect on the relationship between the modern and the traditional. Autochthonous authors often make use of the stranger characters to depict the area's self-colonial efforts in relation to the...

Relations of Czechoslovakia and Hungary through the years 1918-1939 (Tendencies in the development of Czechoslovak-Hungarian relations through the years 1918-1939)
Pejša, Robert ; Chmel, Rudolf (advisor) ; Kiss, Csaba Gy (referee) ; Randák, Jan (referee)
In its evaluation of the main political and cultural-social tendencies of the Czechoslovak-Hungarian interwar relations, this dissertation aims to introduce a new approach to investigating the forms, shapes and perspectives of relations that in the crucial period between 1925 and 1932 reflected a sphere that was far more significant than the political and economic spheres (these only reflected the current interests of individual policies). This sphere, bringing an entirely new perspective on research of Czechoslovak-Hungarian relations, was the internal level of the Czechoslovak-Hungarian relationship - the relationship between Czechoslovak society and its internal policy regarding activities of the Hungarian minority. In this period, there was a diametric difference between these activities and official Hungarian policy. This dissertation attempts to point out that which has until now been ignored: in terms of internal organization and foreign policy goals, the two states were distinctly incompatible (during the whole period between 1918 and 1939), whereas the internal Czechoslovak-Hungarian relations (the evolving relationship between the majority and minority) indicated that there existed areas and population groups that could have allowed for gradual cultural and social convergence occurring...

Bekešová, Martina ; Chmel, Rudolf (advisor) ; Vojtech, Miloslav (referee) ; Gáfriková, Gizela (referee)
The PhD. thesis describes the editorial work of Bohuslav Tablic (1769-1832), one of the most important representatives of the first phase of Slovak National Revival, a universal intellectual, poet, translator, literary historian and theoretician, a protestant priest of Augsburg denomination and an active preserver of Czech-Slovak literary felowship. It analyzes the way Tablic published three volumes of older Slovak poetic production, namely the spiritually contemplative work of Štěpán Pilárik Sors Pilarikiana (Žilina, 1666) in the edition called Pamětné příhody Štěpána Pilaříka (Memorable Affairs of Štěpán Pilařík, Uherská Skalice, 1804), and the secular poetic production of Slovak origin from the end of the 18th century in the two volumes of Slovenští veršovci (Slovak Poets, Uherská Skalice, 1805, Vacov, 1809), where he included Czech-Slovak (and, as an exception, also two Latin) poems of known authorship - satires and contemplative poems of Ján Chrastina (1729-1799), satires and occasional poems of Ján Demian (1734-1799), occasional works of Michal Institoris Mošovský (1733-1803, his authorship is uncertain) and Augustin Doležal (1737-1802), satires of Ján Sabov - and also two anonymous songs about outlaws Jakub Surovec and Jánošík (in the second case Tablic as an editor introduced in this way the...

The concepts of literary space in the Slovak prose of the 70s of the 20th century
Pátková, Jana ; Chmel, Rudolf (advisor) ; Sabolová, Olga (referee) ; Machala, Lubomír (referee)
The collection of five interpretative essays deals with various concepts of home and its different spaee speeifieations in the officially published prose of the 70s of the last century in Slovakia. Through the analysis of the literary spaee we enter an unfathomed region whose comprehension may also change - to a great extent - the existing sight of the official production of the "normalisation period". When interpreting the individual texts, the emphasis was placed on observing especially the common features of the literary space. That is the reason why even reiterating ehapter titles were chosen (horizontal and vertical forms of the space, open or closed space, transitions points, topos of the journey periphery and forms of border, etc.). By their synthesis we may eome to the eonelusion that the seleeted authors (Dušan Dušek, Július Baleo, Ladislav Ballek and Stanislav Rakús) are arguing especially against the diverse representations of the power through different concepts of the space. Objective of my work is to draw attention to some of the fundamental paradigmatic prineiples ofmodelling the literary spaee in the Slovak prose ofthe 70s. Apart from the thematie escape of the authors into the history, the motif of home and childhood belong to the most discussed problems ofthe beginning of the...
