Slovaks in the Cultural and Social Life of Prague in the years 1815-1914
Chundelová, Karolína ; Chmel, Rudolf (advisor) ; Junek, Marek (referee)
The thesis focuses on the role the Slovaks played in the socio-cultural life of Prague in the 19th and at the beginning of the 20th centuries, as the time span between the years 1815 and 1914 comprises several basic stages in its development. The first stage is characterized mainly through its key figures, with a good deal of attention paid to P. J. Šafařík. A stage that fostered the importance of the Czech capital for the Slovak national movement is the revolutionary year of 1848 and the events related to the Pan-Slavic Congress attended by figures such as Ľ. Štúr or J. M. Hurban. Despite the importance and the revolutionary nature of social affairs, a significant role was still played by individuals. A different situation is observed in the following stage, especially with the arrival of a strong generation of Slovak students after 1867, who concentrated around the students' association Detvan, subsequently giving rise, after 1898, to the Hlas movement with personages such as V. Šrobár. The thesis deals with other figures as well, especially writer M. Kukučín. An important turning-point was the foundation of Czechoslavic Unity in 1896, as well as the dynamic development of the mutual relations, especially after the Černov tragedy in 1907. Prague had thus gradually become the decisive and influential...

Passia, Radoslav ; Chmel, Rudolf (advisor) ; Barborík, Vladimír (referee) ; Káša, Peter (referee)
Radoslav P a s s i a Aesthetics of Periphery and Border (To Selected Aspects of Periphery and Border Phenomenon in Slovak Literature of the 20th Century in Central European Context) Abstract The dissertation deals with selected aspects of periphery and border phenomenon in Slovak literature of the 20th century in Central European context. In the preliminary chapter Border the author focuses particularly on selected texts by Central European writers which are thematically set in the Eastern Carpathians. This radically multiethnic region is considered to be one of the relatively independent cultural areas of Central Europe by the author. Narrative perspectives of a stranger, outcast, migrant in combination with the themes of border and conflict between vernacular and alien are characteristic for the literary image of the Eastern Carpathian border area in the 20th century. The author looks at the way the literary appearance of this area is ideologically deformed in the works of individual authors. The writers (mainly Czech and Polish) who do not come from the Eastern Carpathian border area use characters of strangers to reflect on the relationship between the modern and the traditional. Autochthonous authors often make use of the stranger characters to depict the area's self-colonial efforts in relation to the...
