Jan MAREŠ, The policy of gender identity in the labour movement within the region of Liberec (1890-1914), dissertation, Institute of Czech History, Charles University, Charles University Prague, 2021. The thesis attempts to address the question of whether and how the configuration of the gender order of the labour movement represented by the German Social Democracy was transformed and how it was formed by class and nationalist politics. Therefore the dissertation focuses on changes of the representations of femininity and masculinity and desirable social relations between two of them.

Marková, Tanja ; Gelnarová, Jitka (advisor) ; Kubátová, Hana (referee)
The Bachelor's Diploma Thesis "The Image of Women's Role in the West in Women's Magazines in Czechoslovakia in 1948-1989" discusses the different development of women's social statuses in the Eastern and Western Blocs in the bipolar world of the second half of the 20th century. The main objective of the thesis is to determine how women's magazine Vlasta depicted social status of women living in the West during the Cold War, and how the depictions influenced the changes in international relations in the respective period. The author has decided to implement the discursive analysis. Since it would be rather demanding to process all published issues of Vlasta in 1948-1989 due to the quantity, the writings for the analysis were those published around the International Women's Day. The author has decided to focus on this period because the International Women's Day was celebrated in both blocks, thus she assumes that space dedicated to women's social status in various countries is bigger in the time of the celebrations than in the rest of the year. The analysis of the figures showed that Vlasta magazine accommodated the image of women in the West and their social status to the geopolitical development of the Cold War. Intensity of how Vlasta informed the readers about unequal rights and bad living...

Kolářová, Karolina ; Gelnarová, Jitka (advisor) ; Říchová, Blanka (referee)
This thesis deals with changes in the presidential office in Ireland during the presidency of Mary Robinson between 1990-1997. The presidential office holds very few powers and it has been always perceived more as ceremonial and symbolic function.

The goal of this thesis is to define both, particular tools and mechanisms which Robinson had used to transform the nature of the office. Moreover, the thesis aims to examine whether Robinson stayed within the constitutional boundaries. My hypothesis states, that main tools which Robinson used to transform the presidency, are the different forms of activism.

The main findings of my thesis reveal the tools which Robinson used to transform the office - activism and symbolism. Both of...
