Sokolová, Františka ; Marková, Alena (advisor) ; Černý, Karel (referee)
This dissertation concerns changes in the Czech education system in the period from November 1989 to the end of the year of 1995. Particular emphasis is placed on the subject of Basics of Social Sciences, called Civic Education before 1990, in secondary school. My work is dissertation in based on research of primary resources - textbooks, curricula, magazines and other resources, which give insight into the transformation of the aforementioned secondary school subject. Liberalization was typical for the phase of transformation also in education. It resulted in a diversity of schools and possibilities they could offer to students. The goal of my research was to understand whether this diversity was visible in the school subject that has been newly established as the Basics of Social Sciences. Civic Education of the communist era was influenced by state ideology and the state attempted to use its means to reproduce the political and ideological ideas. The newly established secondary school subject rejected any politicaly influenced theories and focused on introducing basics of sciences such as sociology, psychology, politology, economy or philosophy. By the means of comparison, my research brings an insight on textbooks of the era of transformation in years 1989-1995 and proves the diversity could be...

Kotasová, Eva ; Marková, Alena (advisor) ; Dudová, Radka (referee)
The present thesis deals with the media image of women's everyday life in the socialist era. It focuses on the period of time between 1970 and 1975, i.e. on the so called early normalization. The aim of the study is to find out in what way the everyday life of the given period is interpreted by the magazine Vlasta. The main value of the analysis is that it reveals the idealistic presentation of the socialist women's way of life, and their common problems and worries. The analysis of the articles we perform is focused on family and home care, child upbringing both at home and in institutions, man's role in the family, physical and mental health, cosmetics, fashion, etc., i.e. all the aspects belonging to and forming everyday life. Through these topics, which are popular among women, the magazine discreetly created the ideal of the socialist woman. In the messages concerned with everyday life it was passing on the values, stereotypes and even ideological principles of the socialist society of that time. The main aim of the analysis is to create a complex picture of this everyday practice in Vlasta magazine. Key words Everyday life, woman, socialisms, normalization, Vlasta magazine, family care, home care, child care

Mýtus hebrejského moře: jeden s aspektů sionismu Zeeva Žabotinského
Coman, Adam ; Marková, Alena (advisor) ; Barša, Pavel (referee) ; Wein, Martin (referee)
The following dissertation studies the idea and mythologization of the "Hebrew Sea" in the writings and political activity of Vladimir (Ze'ev) Jabotinsky. Jabotinsky (1880-1940), the leader of the Zionist Revisionist movement, developed the concept of the "Hebrew Sea" as an ideal that was used in various fields of his Zionist activity. Within inter-Zionist politics it was utilized as a means of competing with the dominant ideological faction, labor Zionism, over contribution to the national revival and Zionist youth, and its greatest achievement was the establishment of the Civitavecchia Naval Academy in Italy. On the international-diplomatic level the "Hebrew Sea" was used in order to advance closer political relations between Revisionism and Italy - an endeavor Jabotinsky was interested in from an early stage of his Zionist career. The "Hebrew Sea" also played an important role in the development of Jabotinsky's unique ideal of national identity, which sought to depict the Jewish people as a Mediterranean, and not a desert or Middle Eastern people. This vision drew from contemporary theories about Hebrew identity, which associated the Hebrews with the Phoenician empire and not necessarily with Jewish monotheism. Finally, economically this ideal supported the socioeconomic vision of Revisionism,...
