The Painters' Guild in Prague's New Town in 17th and 18th Century
Heisslerová, Radka ; Ebelová, Ivana (advisor) ; Slavíček, Lubomír (referee) ; Hojda, Zdeněk (referee)
The presented dissertation deals with the history of the painter's guild of the New Town of Prague with the main emphasis on its form and development in the 17th and 18th centuries but doesn't leave aside the period of older history. The work thus focuses on New Town painters from the beginnings of the existence of their guild, through the issuance of the privilege of Emperor Rudolf II. in 1595, by which he granted the Old Town-Lesser Town painter's guild significant privileges, as a result of which the joint development of all Prague painting associations began to take different paths. The thesis also deals with the circumstances leading to the demise of the guild in the 1780s, when the Prague painters' fraternities were abolished by Emperor Joseph II. In addition to the history of the painters' association, the thesis provides an insight into the guild life of New Town painters, which it monitors in individual positions within the guild hierarchy, focuses on the functioning of the association itself, its management, material and written sources, representation of the corporation and individual members, and last but not least, it describes the way of worshiping the patron saint of painters - St. Luke. Because not only members of the guild worked as painters in the New Town of Prague, the work also...

The Dissemination of Military Theory in the Early Modern Period: Military Manuals Printed in Central Europe in 1550-1650
Andresová, Klára ; Šípek, Richard (advisor) ; Hojda, Zdeněk (referee) ; Prchal, Vítězslav (referee)
The genre of military handbooks, classified as educational literature, has its roots in antiquity. A significant phase of its evolution came with the advent of the printing press, allowing the propagation of such titles via movable types in increasingly large quantities. Authored by experienced soldiers, these books primarily aimed to educate (prospective) officers on the fundamentals of modern warfare. Simultaneously, these often typographically elaborate volumes - supplemented with numerous educational illustrations - could represent a means for their owners to project self-image. In Central Europe, the proliferation of military handbooks began to surge noticeably after 1550, mainly driven by German printing production. This thesis explores the Central European transformation of this genre from the mid-16th to the mid-17th century, that is, until shortly after the end of the Thirty Years' War. The research approach aligns with the cultural history of warfare and the New Military History movement. This school of thought strive to apply methods common in non-military historical research to military issues, and explore military history through underutilized or unexplored sources. The research methodology primarily involves retrospective bibliography, but also other quantitative and qualitative...

Aside of Interest Supervised by State. Origins and Transformations of the Former Seigneurial Building in Malešice
Vašek, Jan ; Hojda, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Čornejová, Ivana (referee)
The aim of the study was to cast light on history of central edifice of Malešice manor, until now rather unclear. Inevitably, its story has to begin by the description of the initial purpose of construction at the end of the 17th century, followed by later transformations covering up the former role of the building. A closer look at individual periods of the edifice's history needed to be placed in a context and linked with historical events impacting significantly not only the execution of property rights, but also the physical aspect of the building and connected properties. The development showed, at the beginning, usual characteristics of the nobility administration. However, specific relation between new owner, Charles University, secular faculties respectively, and changing state administration bodies developed by the 18 century. State administration managed to execute successfully their strong influence on decisions concerning as the University real estate, as its metamorphoses motivated by the instantaneous decisions guided by financial interests only, without consideration of potential future impact. This document is therefore focused on this exceptional example of early modern-aged nobility administration, responding to the privileged status of the University and suffocated by state...

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.

The entertainment and behaviour of Italians in the Early Middle Ages through the eyes of the Bohemian cavaliers
Šlejmarová, Silvie ; Kubiš, Karel (advisor) ; Hojda, Zdeněk (referee)
Pokud bych se měla pokusit o zařazení této práce do kontextu různých přístupů uplatňovaných v moderní historiografii, zdá se mi, že kolísá někde mezi pokusem o náhled na italskou realitu prvních stoletích novověku vnímanou prizmatem historické antropologie a dějin každodennosti. Z obou dvou směrů jsem se na jejích stránkách snažila uplatnit to nejlepší, co nabízejí, ať už se jedná o historicko - antropologické zaměření se na specifické případy, roli symbolismu v každodenním životě společnosti projevující se navenek v podobě různých gest, zvyků a rituálů důležitých pro utváření a udržení určité představy světa a úzkou návaznost na výsledky sociologického a antropologického bádání.! Z dějin každodennosti jsem si vypůjčila zase důraz na opakovatelnost, všednost a stereotyp, které se v kontextu cestování po Apeninském poloostrově ukázaly také celkově velmi důležitými komponentami v životě elit. Nehledě na tyto dva odlišné přístupy k historickému materiálu bylo mým cílem se především co nejvíce přiblížit k tomu, co nabízejí dějiny kultury vnímané v tom nejširším slova smyslu, které hlavně v posledních zhruba dvaceti letech dodaly historické vědě dostatečně silné impulsy podněcující výzkum v oblasti slavností, festivit a způsobů prožívání volného času vnímaných jako významný prostředek pro rekonstrukci mentality...
