Pěkný, Martin ; Šalanda, Bohuslav (advisor) ; Marková, Alena (referee)
The objective of the diploma thesis was to find out how an athletic club in Radotín functioned and was transformed mainly over the period from 1963 to 2010. The diploma thesis provides deeper findings about the relationship of local and all-national trends in sport as well as the institutional framework of sport in ČSSR and ČR. Nine research questions were defined to restrict the otherwise very wide problem area: Is there any similarity in the development of athletics at the local and all-national level? How does the performance of athletes change in an athletic club? How does the content of data registered in training diaries change? How does the catchment area for an athletic club change? How does the competition of an athletic club represented by other sports clubs or leisure time interest groups change? How does the hinterland and the equipment of an athletic club change? How does the approach of schools in the catchment area of an athletic club change? How has the institutional framework of approach to sport (athletics) changed after 1989? The questions were answered using quantitative and qualitative data. It was found out that the athletic club in Radotín was affected by a mix of macro and micro factors, such as the construction of a new stadium, the volunteers willing to work in the role of...
The Country Image of The Czech Republic from the Perspective of Japanese
Oka, Kohei ; Marková, Alena (advisor) ; Minářová, Markéta (referee)
The question of this study is how the Japanese imagine the Czech Republic. The aim of this study is to clarify the factors that constitute the image of the Czech Republic through the interview survey. It is apparent that, overall, the respondents do not have an image of the Czech Republic as economically developed. On the other hand, there is a tendency for respondents to consider working conditions and the level of education to be good or at least above a certain level. With regard to security, more people imagine that the Czech Republic is safe than those who imagine that the Czech Republic is not safe. Most respondents also indicated that the Czech Republic has an image of ethnic diversity. The image of Czechs' character is frequently expressed with words such as serious, diligent, hard-working, honest, calm, and laid-back. Many respondents imagined the Czech Republic as a comfortable country to live in. The two factors that seemed to influence the formation of the Czech image in this interview survey are "culture and arts" and "historical background," which includes Eastern Europe, socialism and communism, Russia and the Soviet Union. The "culture and art" factor evoked positive images such as "beautiful," "admired," and "high standard," while the "historical background" factor evoked negative...
Women of Transition: Collective Memory in Azerbaijan Republic
Hashimova, Husniyya ; Marková, Alena (advisor) ; Coman, Adam (referee)
By the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, the social, political and economic transformation had a major impact on Azerbaijani society that was part of the Soviet Union for nearly seventy years. How it is remembered is as important as what happened. This thesis examines the collective memory of Azerbaijani women of transition and de(re) construction of their collective identity. Biographical interviews were conducted with ten women living in four cities of Azerbaijan. The research results indicate that gendered collective memory of the Soviet past and transition encompasses both nostalgic sentiments and trauma. These results conclude that historical consciousness and political awareness of Azerbaijani women is insufficient. Nevertheless, their collective identity has been constructed by their collective memory of the quotidian life. Keywords: collective memory, collective identity, Soviet Union, transition, Azerbaijani women, nostalgia, cultural trauma, oral history

Between 1946-1989, most foreign recordings on the nationalized music market were licensed, then multiplied and offered to listeners via the state distribution network, stores and also as Grammophone Club editions subscription. Up to now, the research only discussed licensed recordings in the context of long play records and a struggle for emancipation of rock music in socialist Czechoslovakia.

Collected data from approximately 700 records and cassettes are interpreted by the means of quantitative research - the provenience of licences is investigated and compared as well as the development of genre range in time, sound media preferences and the number of licensed releases published by Supraphon and Opus. Both the chapter which covers historical and aesthetic questions of licensing and the chapter which explains the technical vocabulary provide necessary context to the research. This thesis aims to help the research of licensed recordings on Czechoslovak market reach higher integrity and compactness based rather on data than...

Stepanova, Liubov ; Marková, Alena (advisor) ; Řehořová, Irena (referee)
TITLE: "Chaotic 1990s" in Russia: today's perception of Brat (Brother) movie (1997) AUTOR: Bc. Liubov Stepanova DEPARTAMENT: Historical Sociology SUPERVISOR: Mgr. Alena Marková, Ph.D. Abstract: This thesis is concerned with the period cinematography as an artifact that influences the formation of cultural memory of the modern youth. Its main aim is to discover how present-day youth incorporates cinema into its collective cultural memory. For that purpose, the movie "Brother" (1997) was chosen as it was filmed in the 1990's and includes this period in its cinematographic space. Nineties are a topic of heated discussions in Russian collective memory as the controversial events of that decade still influence Russian modernity. Cultural narrative about the 1990s is built on unclear interpretations which are influenced by current political and media institutions. Due to that the processes of 90s cultural memory formation in contemporary Russian youth are a relevant line of scientific inquiry. Theoretical part of this study explores cinema as a tool of cultural memory formation and includes a short historical review of the decade in question. Empirical part is concerned with the interviews, their transcription and detailed analysis. It also aims to reach the goals set in the beginning of the thesis and answer the...
Mentality of the Oppressed: An Analysis of Czech Inferiority Complex Towards the West
Ertin, Sinan ; Marková, Alena (advisor) ; Německý, Marek (referee)
In this paper, we examine what we see as a Czech feeling of inferiority towards the western nations. Though the so-called post-communist syndrome seems to be a popular way to explain the negative self-perception of Czechs, we will argue that this phenomenon stems from the trauma, which Czechs experienced when transitioning from communism to the globalized capitalistic market. We believe that this trauma was brought about by the rhetoric of ''coming back to Europe'' as it is based on a heritage of orientalism in Europe, in combination with the general mentality of the oppressed, as thematized by the post-colonial theorists such as Franz Fanon or Paulo Freire. To verify our hypothesis, we conducted a survey with 189 respondents from all the regions of the Czech Republic.
The Transformation of the Interpretation of the Historical Meaning of a Figure on Example of the Socio-Historical Conflict about the Role of Marshal Konev in the Course of Czechoslovak History
Stolle, Lucas ; Marková, Alena (advisor) ; Štemberk, Jan (referee)
The aim of our thesis is to map the conflict related to the monument to Marshal Konev, which took place between 2015 and 2020. In 2018, the Prague 6 Municipality provided the monument with explanatory plaques because it was repeatedly damaged by unknown people. The plaques were meant as well to commemorate Konev's controversial post-war career. This act provoked a strong reaction from the Russian Embassy, which began to defend historical role of Marshal Konev. It led to a conflict between Czech and Russian politicians and also to a conflict within the Czech political scene. In our analysis we want to clarify the different interpretations of Marshal Konev's historical role provided by Czech and Russian politicians and Czech historians and journalists. We look at the reactions and arguments of politicians, historians and journalists regarding Konev's historical role and his monument. We also examine the differences between the arguments and their transformation during the conflict. In the end, we try to clarify the reasons for particular interpretations of Marshal Konev's historical role. We use the theoretical concepts of the symbolic centre and collective memory. Our sources are mainly Czech news articles on selected websites.
