Czech-Slovenian relations developed more intensively from the beginning of the 19th century in the fields of culture, art, education and sports.

Vinš, Přemysl ; Nešpor, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Chrobák, Tomáš (referee)
The subject of this thesis is the religion situation in Albania between 1946 and 1990. It is a period, in which the communist party - lead by Enver Hoxha till 1985, had rule over the country. This work deals in detail with the legal development of religion in Albania after the Second World War and after 1967, when all the religious institutions were outlawed and free religious belief was proscribed. However, this thesis focuses mainly on the analysis of Albanian written sources (press and literature) and it presents the antireligious arguments of the Albanian communist state and the role which the religious issues played in the propaganda of the Albanian state against the inner and outer enemies, in the legitimisation of politics of high Albanian political representatives and in the construction of the historic tale of the Albanian state and nation. We applied the theory of political religion (Voegelin, Aron, Maier) on the Albanian case.

The view for women's and men's status in Albanian literature at the beginning 20th century
Mulla, Dorina ; Vinš, Přemysl (advisor) ; Vasiljevićová, Dajana (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to compare two important Albanian novels - "Sikur të isha djalë" ("If I Were a Boy") by Haki Stërmilli and "Pse?!" ("Why?!") by Sterjo Spasse, focusing on the position of a woman and a man in traditional rural society of the first half of the 20th century. Novel "Sikur të isha djalë" tells the story of young Dija who uses her diary to describe the everyday life of an Albanian rural family. Her notes reveal the bleak reality of rural life, following the pattern of the old-world patriarchal rules, and the position of women that was fully dependent on the will of their parents and husbands. On the contrary, in novel "Pse?!", the protagonist is a young man Gjon Zaveri who - also by means of diary notes - offers the reader an insight into the concerns of a young person in Albania of the first half of the 20th century, their endless desire to break out of the tight bonds of the strict social rules. Both novels belong to the first examples of longer Albanian prose and represent a certain genre as well as thematic milestone in the history of Albanian literature. The novels, which are strongly inspired by some significant European writers and their works from the 19th century can be observed, can be classified as being on the borderland of Albanian romanticism and realism, although...
