Vyšehrad cemetery: nation place of memory
Babíčková, Lucie ; Halbich, Marek (advisor) ; Pauknerová, Karolína (referee)
Vyšehrad cemetery: Place of National Cemetery Abstrakt - English Lucie Babíčková In the beginning of the thesis I am interesting about the history of Vyšehrad cemetery and about some social live happening at this cemetery. For example I am interested in several additional funerals to this cemetery (for example Vlasta Burian), with several ceremonies around some people buried on Vyšehrad (Karel Čapek or Bedřich Smetana). I am also interested in the Svatobor society - society which founded this cemetery. In the fourth chapter I am writing about visitors of Vyšehrad and about their perception of Vyšehrad areal - especially what differences they can see between the park and the cemetery. I am working on this part mainly with theory of Pierre Nora about national monuments (or so-called places of memory). According his opinion nations can worship itself thanks these monuments and I think that Vyšehrad is one of these monuments in the Czech environment. I am also interested in some important events connected to the cemetery or about reasons for visiting this place. For this I am using typology of John Urry mostly.

"Bohemian Paradise" in the Perspective of Anthropology of Landscape
Jůnová, Lenka ; Pauknerová, Karolína (advisor) ; Šima, Karel (referee)
The thesis discusses how a landscape called the Czech Paradise was nationalized. It primarily shortly deals with the fact, that original Czech Paradise was situated in the area around Litoměřice, which was inhabited mainly by Germans. In the nationally explosive situation in the second half of the 19th century, it became necessary to relocate the Czech Paradise to a purely Czech area. The thesis follows the process of seeking and argues what the main factors for the localization of the new Czech Paradise into the area around Turnov were. The main focus of the thesis lies in following the process of performing concept of the national landscape called Czech Paradise. It is focused, how the landscape was manipulated so that national ideas were materialized. The background of the thesis is the attitude to a landscape, which identifies two movements in a landscape. In the first movement humans are acting on a landscape, in the case of the Czech Paradise a human is nationalizing the landscape and the other movement -is reverse, when a landscape is acting on a human. The thesis is mainly focused on the period from the 1880s to the era shortly before the First World War.
