Karel Huss and Superstition
Roll, Pavel ; Hlavačka, Milan (advisor) ; Tinková, Daniela (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to appropriately interpret the text of the manuscript Vom Aberglauben and categorize it within the cultural-historical context of its time. Although some popularizing- stylized papers have already discussed the story and legacy of its author, Karel Huss, the last executioner of the city of Cheb, they have not sufficiently captured Huss's personal traits and subjectivity in perceiving superstitions, that gave rise to prejudices, which Huss grappled with throughout his life. The interpretation is based on a literary analysis of Huss's poetry and the manuscript Vom Aberglauben, by considering its then historical reality. Through the agency of that this thesis contributes to enriching the discourse because, so far, the analysis of Huss's poetic output has been entirely neglected and regarding the manuscript about superstitions, researchers have limited themselves to general statements, which, despite being indisputable, reveal only little about Huss's relationship with superstitions, magic, and folk religion. Moreover, in the story of Karel Huss (1761-1838), "grand" historical decisions overlap with every day's history, social history with art, old feudal orders with modernization tendencies, the general with the unique and various cultural trends, which Huss managed to reflect.

Hanáková, Petra ; Tinková, Daniela (advisor) ; Zdichynec, Jan (referee)
This master's thesis deals with the phenomenon of general seminars and the reform of theological studies carried out by Josef II in the Habsburg Monarchy between 1783 and 1790, with a particular focus on the seminar in Hradisko u Olomouce. The thesis will be divided into three main chapters. The first chapter provides a more general overview of the overall system of seminars, the most important debates on their establishment, and to some extent (as far as sources and existing historiography allow) a comparison of conditions in various seminars in the monarchy. The second chapter then focuses on the Olomouc seminar itself and partially fills in the more general structure outlined in the first chapter with specific data from the Moravian-Silesian province. An important part is also the presentation of specific teaching materials used in the seminar. The third chapter concentrates on the students (primarily using the example of boarders of the Olomouc seminar). Their daily schedule will be introduced, along with the overall ideal of proper spiritual conduct, which state authorities followed when opening the seminar. At the end of the chapter, specific students of the seminar and their fates will be presented. General seminaries (Generalseminarien), Joseph II., The Age of Enlightenment, Josephinism, Education...

Missionary Jan Kořiska and the end of recatholization in Moravia
Kadlec, Daniel ; Tinková, Daniela (advisor) ; Zdichynec, Jan (referee)
This bachelor's thesis deals with the life of a priest and missionary Jan Kořiska (1730 - 1790?), the most diligent performer of recatholization in the last generation of Moravian missionaries. The thesis is the first attempt at a complex view of this priest's life. It proceeds both from ecclesiastical and profane archive sources, mostly never used previously. These are mainly the protocols of Olomouc Episcopal Consistory, files of Brno Gubernium and Tribunal concerning secret non-Catholics in Moravia and (partially published) documents from the investigation of Wallachian rebellion in 1777. The aim of this thesis is to show the mutual communication between surviving baroque and emerging enlightenment mentalities and to complete the series of events which lead to the issue of the Patent of Toleration.

The present thesis deals with the life and work of the Czech-German priest Michael Joseph Fesl (1788- 1864), one of the most important followers of Bernard Bolzano and a leading representative of his school of thought. It follows him especially in the context of Bolzanism as it developed in the Leitmeritz seminary where Fesl was a preses. In this context, the thesis also notes the personality and work of Bishop Josef František Hurdálek (1747-1833), who was affected by the trial of the Bolzanians in a similarly tangible way as Fesl. However, it does not neglect the fate of these personalities after they were forced to leave the seminary. It follows Fesl during his years of involuntary exile in Austria. It does not omit also other aspects of Fesl's activities either, such as the publication of Bolzano's works abroad (especially in Sulzbach, Bavaria), or the bequest of books to the Czech National Museum in the spirit of Bolzanist charity. With the help of sources such as correspondence and articles of reminiscence in the contemporary press, the thesis tries to capture the way of working and the atmosphere of the Leitmeritz seminary. It seeks to interpret in the light of the religious thought of the Bolzanists and in the context of Enlightenment Catholicism in general Fesl's works, for the example the...

Suldovská, Klára ; Zdichynec, Jan (advisor) ; Tinková, Daniela (referee)
The thesis deals with the French Baroque dance la belle danse and its social context. The author proceeds by defining the concept of Baroque dance, which she characterizes in terms of dance style, and presents the sources from which we infer the form of the dance and the movement register (i.e. mainly French dance manuals). The analysis focuses on social dance, which is defined using Andriy Nahachevsky's typology of presentational and participatory dances. In the second chapter, the author places the phenomenon of dance in a broader cultural context, describing its importance in early modern society and the opportunities for dance. She emphasizes social dance, which was an integral part of Baroque festivals and balls. The important role of dance in the education of the nobleman and the role of the dance master is not overlooked. The following chapter traces whether and how the French dance style was reflected in the Czech lands. The fourth chapter is the core of the thesis, in which the author explores the social dimension of dance, thus looking at dance as a means of developing the individual's abilities and as an expression or a way of acquiring proper social etiquette. She analyses passages on social conventions and etiquette contained in selected dance manuals of the period (especially those of...
