The wave of nationalization and privatization during the presidency of F. Mitterrand
Eliášová, Katarína ; Perottino, Michel (advisor) ; Emler, David (referee)
The Bachelor thesis "The wave of nationalization and privatization during the presidency of F. Mitterrand" deals with the two mutually-opposing economic programs, nationalization and privatization, that took place in France, almost consecutively, during F. Mitterrand's presidency. The thesis focuses mainly on his first term in office as president during which the two programs, as well as the whole package of complex reforms which accompanied them, were executed. This thesis analyzes and interprets the arguments and reasons behind the concepts of the mentioned political programs against the backdrop of the economic situation of the then France, and against the composition of political parties at the time of Mitterrand's election to the office of president and during his actual presidency. In the analysis, the emphasis is placed both on theoretical and practical (the course of nationalization and privatization processes and their consequences) perspectives. The thesis also attempts to recognize the legitimacy or impropriety of the two programs from both the short- and the long-term perspective. It explains these in detail and discusses their impact on the French society and the public sector. The thesis further points at the importance traditionally attributed to the public property, and it investigates the...

Things and voidness (a philosophical inquiry on the selected themes of the Zhuangzi)
Machek, David ; Petříček, Miroslav (referee) ; Lomová, Olga (advisor)
The core of the paper is a philosophical and philological analys i s of four shorter passages from the old chinese philosophical text Zhuangzi. Considering traditional Chinese commentaries ( especially Guo Xiang) and inspired by modem continental philosophy ( especially Ricoeur and Heidegger), the author seeks to interconnect some of the crucial philosophical themes (losing and forgetting of I, change, freedom, dream, usefulness/uselessness) and build a framework for an overall philosophical interpretation, which would challenge the wide-spread but one-sided view claiming Zhuangzi to be a relativist and irationalist. Drawing on reflections that will find a key to the text in a Zhuangzi 's call for mutual incorporation of the voluntary with the involuntary and the reflective with the spontaneous the author is trying to grasp the relation of things and voidness as the underlying principle or reality. Much like the whole text of Zhuangzi this relation is also intrinsically ambiguous. Voidness tums out to be nothing but an expanded thingness, things, however, cannot be expanded unless they cease to be things. This conflict is incorporated in an sage, whose wisdom and legitimacy as a ruler over things is determined by the ability to accept this conflict and to reconciliate with himself.

In search of illegible body. The body as means of understanding literature
Klimeš, Ondřej ; Vojvodík, Josef (referee) ; Heczková, Libuše (advisor)
The work discusses the relation between the body and literature. Interpreting selected works of 19th and 20th centuries, it both explores and refines the presumption of the body presenting for literature not merely a theme or a motif, but, and in some cases primarily, a problem of writing. The body, also, as a shifting, culturally and historically determined concept yields to the same legibility as the language by which it is described. When interpreting works that embrace peripheral, inhuman bodies surpassing the established concepts, these are not - as various symptoms of illegibility - dismissed as failures: they are rather understood as the key stylization writing strategies, motivated by the endeavor to draw nearer to the body, description of which surpasses the language structure of the period. The vanishing point of the survey is thus neither a compact interpretation of the works, nor their contextualization in the literary or cultural history of the body, but rather the body as an inexplicable image that drives the language to the frontier of intelligibility, and beyond. Such approach focuses not on the literary work as semantically and formally compact unit, but rather on writing as a movement that passes through the work. The question is asked, then, whether this movement - while leaving...

Gravettské osídlení spodní vrstvy Kašov 1
Novák, Martin
The settlement of eastern Slovakia during the Gravettian and Epigravettian was concentrated in the surroundings of the Zemplín Hills (open-air site of Kašov I), where two cultural layers (Gravettian/Epigravettian) were found. According to the analysis of lithic industry, radiocarbon dating and lithostratigraphical position, the lower layer is dated to the Late Gravettian horizon with rare shouldered points, to the period directly preceding the LGM. In raw material composition we observe a domination of extralocal, “northern” flint from southern Poland over the local obsidian. This phase of the site occupation is interpreted as a seasonal base camp, probably connected with migration of the Late Gravettian groups in connection with hunting seasonal shifts between the territory north of the Carpathians and the interior part of the Carpathian Basin.

Čepelák, Václav ; Sládek, Jan (referee) ; Buriánek, Jiří (advisor)

This presence is described from the standpoint of the inhabitants' perception and their attitudes towards the Russians. Causes of Russians' coming to Karlovy Vary are also inquired and consequences of the Russian presence are reflected too. The causes are sought in the town history, especially in context of new colonization of border region after 1945. Present time is described in terms of statistical data regarding especially migration and a count of foreginers.

Karolina Svetla's works in the discourse of literary critic of the second half of the nineteenth century (ways to read national literature)
Říha, Ivo ; Šmahelová, Hana (advisor) ; Vaněk, Václav (referee) ; Merhaut, Luboš (referee)
The presented thesis interprets works by Karolina Světlá on the background of Czech literary critical discourse in the second half of the nineteenth century. It focuses on the period approaches to the forms and functions of national literature. It is aimed at problems of tasks set on a Czech writer. Karolina Světla's prose raises a question - in what extent such "political order" might have influenced individual writing style. We are interested in the issue of both author's and reader's reflection of patriotic-educational influence on literary output. Such period acceptance of this intention of given kind as a factor that in desirable (but in no manner restricting) way pre-sets the formation of the sense of artwork, is understood as an expression of heritage of early revival idea (belief in a nonsubstitutable power of national literature the task of which is to arouse intellectual life of a nation and to guard its independence and uniqueness is a part of this heritage in the process). It is understood as an expression of movement in myth about a nation raised from the dead - a movement that under the terms of a generally accepted patriotic-educational communication code is shared by both readers and their writer. An answer to the question of how the basic aspects of the discourse of Czech literature then...

The Exegesis Of Matthew 15,21-28: The Faith Of The Canaanite Woman
Lukášová, Pavlína ; Pokorný, Petr (referee) ; Mrázek, Jiří (advisor)
The thesis is an exegesis of the story of Canaanite woman and her faith told in the New Testaments Matthews Gospel. This gospel story describes Canaanite woman, a gentile, who supposedly does not believe in the One God, asking Jesus to cure her demon possessed daughter. The text is primarily about the dialog between Jesus and the woman. The metaphorical dialog highlights Jesus' surprise at the depth of faith of this gentile woman and ends with the act of healing of her daughter who is not even present at this encounter. The thesis begins by placing Matthews Gospel within the context all the gospels and their literary and historical origins as a way of introducing the passage to be used in exegesis. The rest of the exegesis has all the necessary elements found in such work such as comparing various translations of the text, literary sources, context and parallels for this passage, concordance, comentaries and excursions into others work as well as explanations. The text itself is an early church pericope thus allowing the thesis to be enriched by explanations of early christian church history. The work is completed by my own interpretation of selected passage. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Durgāpūjā in Calcutta: the poetics and politics of a ritual
Hříbek, Martin ; Preinhaelterová, Hana (advisor) ; Vrhel, František (referee) ; Zbavitel, Dušan (referee)
This thesis deals with poetics and politics of the annual worship of goddess Durga in Calcutta, India, and though it is not an ethnography as a genre, it is largely based on fieldwork. In the first chapter of this thesis I reflect on the process of my partial enculturation in Bengal, on the process of understanding that cultural milieu as well as on the nature of understanding the Other in general. The second chapter deals with the concept of ritual. It summarises current state of discussion in the field and finally outlines Alfred Gell' s concepts of secondary agency, technology of enchantment, distributed personhood and extended mind in order to examine the external and internal strategies of animation of images of deities. The third chapter is a short introduction into the goddess worship tradition in India with focus on mythological narratives of Devi -Ma ha tmya and portrayal of Durga pu ja in Bengali rendition of Ra ma ya a. The fourth chapter reverts to my first fieldwork on Durga pu ja and interprets the intersection of Durga pu ja and the " war on terror" with Marc Agué' s concept of extended ritual technique. The fifth chapter is an elaborate survey of plant symbolism in Durga pu ja with plenty of comparative material. Its aim is to explore the ritual symbols within the Durga pu ja complex at the...

Josip Murn Aleksandrov
Nachlingerová, Zuzana ; Nedvědová, Milada (referee) ; Jensterle Doležal, Alenka (advisor)
Josip Murn is an slovenian poet, living 1879-1901. The poetry of Murn is mostly known as impressionistic, somethimes also designated as symbolistic, however, he is regarded as a full member of slovenian modernism now. The work concentrated on interpretation of Murn's poems. There are five main topics in Murn's poetic world, which are researched- these are: time, nature, space, God and love. There is also a special chapter dealing with a lyrical subject of the poetry and a chapter representing impressionism of his poetry. Two chapters consider the historical period and poet's life. The life influenced the work, regarding many tragic facts. Murn himself did not feel like a full member of any literate motion, but he was the one, who adopted new rules of free verse. Only one book of Murn was published after his death at the age of twenty two.
