Štefaniková, Jana ; Procházka, Lubomír (advisor) ; Štěpánová, Irena (referee) ; Drápala, Daniel (referee)
Thesis "The České Středohoří Mountains - Cultural Landscape" deals with the territory of the České Středohoří Mountains' Protected Area as the landscape of settlements, namely settlements of rural character. Based on the field research, the basic characteristics of vernacular architecture in that territory are described and selected influences, that completed local villages' rural construction, are depicted. The thesis also provides evidence of regional interest in the national history and geography of the České Středohoří Mountains, especially in rural construction and urbanism. This interest in the national history and geography is discussed in the context of the development of Czech and German national emancipation. The entire work put emphasis on the period from the mid-19th century to the mid-20th century. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

The illegitimated children in the Czech lands in 18th and 19th century
Bayerová, Vanda ; Sochorová, Ludmila (advisor) ; Štěpánová, Irena (referee)
Moje diplomová práce nebyla založena na dlouhodobějším a rozsáhlém výzkumu, přesto si dovolím zhodnotit stav zkoumaného tématu. První část mé práce spočívala ve vyhledávání pramenů a literatury k nastolenému jevu ve snaze tyto poznatky konfrontovat. Existuje dostatek dílčích prací, ale zatím neexistuje souborné pojednání, které by mohlo být přehledem vývoje postavení svobodných matek a nemanželských dětí v novověku na našem území. Studium postavení svobodných matek a jejich dětí je přitom pro dnešní dobu velmi atraktivní v důsledku zvýšení zájmu o "historii každodenního života", "gender" problematiku a "historii dítěte", jejichž rozvoj se ve středoevropském prostoru odstartoval po roce 1989 ve snaze dohnat západní trend posledních desetiletí. Prameny a literatura by se daly rozdělit do několika skupin. V první skupině mohou být ty, kde by nějaké informace mohly být, ale nejsou, např. lékařské knihy nebo některé etnografické monografie. Z toho by se dalo při rychlém a povrchním soudu vyvodit, že se zkoumané jevy vyskytovaly v tak malé míře, že ani nestály autorům za zmínku. Další skupina informací pochází z pramenů, které např. antikoncepci a aborty připouštějí, ale ve velmi omezené míře, postoj např. některých etnografických prací. Poslední skupina vypovídá o takřka neuvěřitelném rozšíření všeho výše...

Ceremoniousness connected with birth of a child in Pelhřimov distrikt. The Role of the Midwife from the viewpoint of etnology.
Kubíčková, Kristýna ; Krupková, Jaroslava (advisor) ; Štěpánová, Irena (referee)
The main theme of this bachelor's thesis is ceremoniousness, which is connected with the birth of a child in Pelhřimov district in the 2nd half of the 19 and the beginning of the 20 century. The second part of the thesis is primarily devoted to related ceremonial acts. The individual chapters are focused on conception of pregnancy, childbirth and puerperium in the folk environment. This very intimate and rarely mapped area of family ceremoniousness is thus seen by means of period literature, articles, archive matters, records and registers. Considering the fact that midwives used to be the principal performers of ceremonial acts connected with the birth of a child the first part of the thesis concetrates on the midwifery issues. It deals with midwives education, their competences and collegial relationships.

Intimate norms of beauty by women. Depilation and modification of body hair on the example of Czech women.
Greňová, Martina ; Korecká, Zuzana (advisor) ; Štěpánová, Irena (referee)
Martina Greňová: Ženské intimní normy krásy. Depilace a úprava tělesného porostu na příkladu českých žen. FF UK 2011 The author searches for reasons for the body hair removal and its modifications. As the base she uses an analyse of the media and literature and her research among Czech women. The paper emanates, that certain subjects try to define norms of body hair removal. These norms are presented in medical and cosmetical literature, in magazines, internet articles, films, adverts, in the language and in the folklore. Accordingly the normative subjects are doctores, cosmeticians, editors and authors of magazines, participants of internet discussions, film makers and producers of cosmetic products. Nevertheles women participate on the creation of norms too. The author postulates some attitudes, how the hair removal is perceived and presented: as hygienical and medical, as dichotomy of human and animal (nature vs. culture), as dichotomy of feminity and masculinity, as an attribute of maturity, as an esthetic aspect. Most of the women remove hair from their bodies. Young women "shave" more , but the difference between the generations is not that big. Yet a vast difference exists between the age of todays teenagers when they started removing (on an averge of 12 years) and the older generations (at 24 years)...

Virtual worlds - construction of the past as a game. Amateur historical fencing
Moravcová, Jana ; Štěpánová, Irena (advisor) ; Kašpar, Oldřich (referee)
This diploma thesis concerns on one way of leisure time spending in Czech Republic - non-professional historical fencing. This activity lays essentially in depicting of battle manners in the past in fonn of dramatic performances (public presentation is not required though). The actors use for their purposes armament, outfit, clothing and other equipment that should correspond at least generally to a certain historical period. In the first part of the work I set historical fencing into broader context of leisure time activities with common features, which are RPG's (Role Playing Games) and LARP's (Live Action Role Playing) and leisure time activities with fantasy thematics generally on one side, and other ways of depicting of the past, mainly historical music, historical dance and "living history" on the other. In the next part I try to explain current meaning of the term "historical fencing" and to briefly survey evolution of historical fencing in our country from the 60's until today. I watch non-professional historical fencing actors themselves more closely, explore their associating into groups, fonnal structure of such associations (groups) and cite examples of several Prague based groups. I also deal with motivation of actors for historical fencing, non-concerned public's view of such activity and...

Both several months lasting travels took place in winter. Their accurate reconstruction is impossible due to the lack of archive materials. Most information has been preserved in Joseph's itinerary, where he wrote about visiting Alaska and Yukon in 1904. Josef brought back a number of animal trophies and valuable ethnographic material, which now can be seen in Opočno castle or in Náprstek museum in Prague. The author of this diploma thesis focuses mainly on the reconstruction and describing of the travels, she also discusses the personality of Josef Colloredo- Mannsfeld and writes about hunting, travelling and understanding of ethnicity in the contemporary context.
