Nebřenský, Zdeněk ; Havelka, Miloš (advisor) ; Vykoukal, Jiří (referee) ; Pažout, Jaroslav (referee)
The thesis deals with thought, mentality and conceptions of the higher education students. It focuses especially on discussions and controversies between students and party, state or universities authorities and aims at frictions which spread in official discourse and arose from student demands on more space for autonomous activity. Its main concern is the way in which these controversies were related to power transformations in the Central-European dictatorship since 1956. As an example of young intelligentsia, activists of youth and student organizations at higher education institutions in Warsaw, Prague and Bratislava have been chosen. The thesis is divided into three parts. The first part researches on the conceptions of intimate, especially problems of youth sexuality, student marriage and living conditions of young families. The second part deals with the conceptions of equality in relation to centralized work-placement of graduates. The power authorities in the state-socialist society laid stress on social equality of all citizens, but paradoxically it produced strong inequality at a local level and undermined work, social and transnational mobility. The third parts researches on conceptions of difference. In this case, authorities claimed generation unity and culture uniformity for the whole...

The University of 17th November (1961-1974) and its position in Czechoslovakian educational system and society
Holečková, Marta Edith ; Cuhra, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Kopeček, Michal (referee) ; Pažout, Jaroslav (referee)
The orientation of Czechoslovakian foreign policy on Africa, Asia and Latin America took various forms after the World War II. Apart from economic and military cooperation, rising numbers of university scholarships offered to students from developing countries coming to Czechoslovakia are worth our attention. This resulted, together with increasing accent on support of emerging new states, in establishing of The University of 17th November in 1961 - a new university for foreign students. Due to the University, the Czechoslovakian society was for the first time confronted with growing numbers of ethnically and culturally different people. Along with the history of educational institution, this study focuses on the mutual coexistence of foreign students and broader society and on the general reception of the school. Founding of the University was also a Czechoslovak response to a trend developing at the time in some states of the Western European as well as in the Soviet Union where The Patrice Lumumba Friendship University was opened in 1960 in Moscow. The trend was based on a rather optimistic assumption that present-day students later become a part of newly arising elites and occupy important and powerful positions in the decolonized world. The Soviet Union and its satellites (not only...

The Causes of the Student Protest Movement in the Federal Republic of Germany in the 1960s
Renner, Tomáš ; Pešek, Jiří (advisor) ; Valenta, Martin (referee) ; Pažout, Jaroslav (referee)
The author of this dissertation thesis examines causes and intellectual sources of the student protest movement in the Federal Republic of Germany in the 1960s. He presents two societal concepts of post-world war Federal Republic of Germany. The idea of formed society started in the intellectual circles of the federal chancellor Ludwig Erhard. It had its roots in the experience of economic and political downfall of the Weimar republic and the apocaliptic war that followed. The idea of the long march through institutions was formulated by leaders of the student protest movement who saw it as the only way to change society from within after the failure of marxist revolution in western Europe. Although both concepts lost their appeal in the course of history, they still remain an important contribution to the modernisation process of the Federal Republic of Germany and at the same time are an answer to the initial question concerning the causes of the student protest movement.

Pažout, Jaroslav ; Rychlík, Jan (advisor) ; Trapl, Miloš (referee) ; Otáhal, Milan (referee)
Ve své disertační práci chci paralelně sledovat vývoj západoevropského a československého studentského hnutí. Jak reformní hnutí protestní hnutí na v eeskoslovensku, tak radikálně Západě představovaly reakci na levicové hluboké systémové krize, které ovšem pramenily z odlišných příčin, z různého historického vývoje. To muselo zákonitě determinovat i podoby studentských hnutí a východisek, která jejich protagonisté hledali k překonání krize. Chci se tedy dále zabývat otázkou, jak přijímali českoslovenští studenti ideové podněty radikálně levicového protestního hnutí na Západě a jeho Zajímá stoupence, ke mě též reakce kterým právě studenti často patřili. západoevropského studentského hnutí na reformní proces v Československu.
