Life in the seventeenth and eighteenth century Christian and Muslim settings through the Prism of the Jewish Subjects

Life in the seventeenth and eighteenth century Christian and Muslim settings through the Prism of the Jewish Subjects Abstract In this comparative thesis two types of civilizations in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries stand side by side with a special focus on the topic of converts and religious conversion to and from Judaism. The Latin Christian civilization is represented by the Habsburg Empire, while the Islamic civilization is represented by the Ottoman Empire. These two religious, political and cultural settings managed religious minorities differently, but at the same time there were ongoing encounters of various character between them in the studied period. This thesis is based mainly on the Jewish responsa literature, which recorded everyday problems tackled by the Jewish communities. In a complementary way, historical documents of state provenance were taken into account. These were primarily records of ecclesiastical provenance for the Habsburg part and critical editions of court records (sijills) for the Ottoman part. The comparative analysis was carried out in multiple modes against the backdrop of concepts of legal spaces and social figurations as formulated by Norbert Elias. In the first mode, the thesis examines how converts and religious conversion are reflected in the responsa...
Komparační studie čtyř romských životních příběhů
Ryvolová, Karolína ; Ulmanová, Hana (advisor) ; Acton, Thomas (referee) ; Soukup, Daniel (referee)
The objective of this thesis is to do a comparative analysis of four Romany life-stories in prose from different parts of the world and identify features which may justly be called characteristic of Romany writing. The comparison of Victor Vishnevsky's Memories of a Gypsy, Mikey Walsh's Gypsy Boy and Gypsy Boy on the Run, Andrej Giňa's Paťiv. Ještě víme, co je úcta and Irena Eliášová's Naše osada yields valuable insights into how Romany writers construct their identity and to what extent their current work relates to the existing literary genres. Because of Romany studies' multidisciplinary nature, the extensive introduction lays the theoretical foundations for the analysis. I proceed from the characteristics of Romany studies in general in part 1.2 to the way it was practised during my undergraduate years in Prague as opposed to the Western tradition (part 1.3). Using a case study of the schism Romany studies are currently facing in the Czech Republic, in part 1.4 I attempt to illustrate the more general epistemological challenges the field has been grappling with between essentialist/primordialist and radical constructivist views. As there is a definite scarcity of theoretical literature conceptualising Romany writing, in part 1.5 of the introduction the existing body of work is assessed and found...
The Depiction of Gypsies and Its Relationship to "Our" Village in 19th-Century Czech Literature
Soukup, Daniel ; Šmahelová, Hana (advisor) ; Merhaut, Luboš (referee) ; Svatoň, Vladimír (referee)
Mgr. Daniel Soukup The Depiction of Gypsies and Its Relationship to "Our" Village in 19th-Century Czech Literature (abstract) The present study analyzes the "Gypsy" figures in 19th -century Czech literature as non- mimetic creations. A critique of the contrary approach, which sees "Gypsies" as distorted images of actual Romanies, is elaborated in chap. 1.3. The subsequent chapters focus on the concepts of "constructed strangeness", marginality and the numinous (1.4); the diverse cultural layers which make up the Gypsy stereotype (1.5); and the semantics of this stereotype (1.6). This general theoretical overview is followed by interpretations of four literary texts (chap. 1.7-1.10) which represent the archaic (demonizing), the romantic and the modern (ironic) layers of the Gypsy image. The spy Zatrán, a character in Josef Linda's historical drama Jaroslav Šternberg v boji proti Tatarům, can be seen as an example of a demonized Gypsy. Karel Hynek Mácha's novel Cikáni and Adolf Heyduk's lyrical sequence "Cigánské melodie" depict both the romantic desire to identify with the Gypsy and the impossibility to achieve it. Svatopluk Čech's short story "Cikánka" presents an ironic deconstruction of the Gypsy stereotype. The second part of the study contains comprehensive contextual interpretations of Gypsy motifs in...
Flexible Forms of Work in a Selected Company
Chrástová, Veronika ; Soukup, Daniel (referee) ; Konečný, Štěpán (advisor)
This diploma thesis deals with flexible and innovative forms of employment and the form of cooperation in a selected company. Flexibility is becoming more and more important, as employees are less willing to spend their entire day of work and prefer more personal life. The thesis is divided into three parts - the theoretical, the analytical and the part dealing with own solutions. The theoretical part is based on a comprehensive overview of flexible forms of employment that make it possible to reconcile work and personal life. The analytical part examines and evaluates the current state of the selected company with best practices of similar companies in the Czech Republic and abroad and in the final part proposes the optimal solution of flexible forms of employment or cooperation in the context of possible changes in the provision of legal services for selected organization.
Plague, massacre, Mary: Anti-Jewish Aspects of Late Medieval Piety
Soukup, Daniel
The so-called Plague persecutions from 1348 to 1350 affected a large majority of the Jewish communities in the Empire, who were accused of poisoning the wells. Though the Jews in Bohemia and Moravia were spared from these violent attacks, Czech medieval literature was mirroring contemporary events and anxiety. Along with economical as well as political reasons, the atmosphere created by the overwhelming threat of the Black Death was also shaped by specific aspects of late medieval piety - passion and Marian devotion, favoured by Emperor Charles IV himself. The paper focuses on mimetic passion piety, partly represented by the flagellant movement and officially expressed by devotional literature, and its influence on anti-Jewish rhetoric and violence. Analysis of vernacular prayers, poems and laments of the Virgin Mary (planctus Marie), the most powerful and emotional texts of spiritual edification modelled by the compassionate spectatorship, presents those anti-Jewish aspects which could pave the way for physical aggression against the Jewish community. Besides contemplative literature, timeless and universal Marian tales could echo actual massacres and legitimized anti-Jewish violence. This may be the case of a Bohemian version of the Marian miracle De Imagine S. Mariae in Lidda, preserved in the 14th century manuscript Liber depictus, which formulates the maxims of medieval society against the background of hagiographies that were updated for that time.
