Information to be found in folk chronicles at the foothills of the Orlické Hory mountains in the 18th century
Svobodová, Ilona ; Horský, Jan (referee) ; Maur, Eduard (advisor)
The goal ofthis Degree Work is to show (through an analysis of eleven folk chronicles originating from the foothi11s of the Orlické Hory Mountains) how country people of that time coped with the rapid course of events in the 18th century - what impression was left on their minds by numerous armed conflicts (the War of Austrian Succession, the Seven Years' War, the Prussian Invasion in 1778 to 1779) that often hit this region, how the people responded to famines, climate fluctuations, celestial phenomena, how they faced up to the disturbance of their traditional way of life and to the disturbance of natural development of the society by the rapid changes caused by the Enlightenment reforms, and last but not least, what they were interested in and what they were thinking about in periods of re1ative quiet. Folk chronic1es are valuable, but for the time being, often neglected sources ofhistorical information that can help lift a little the veil ofless know aspects ofhuman history. By their character, they are subjective, private and unprofessional works often created by people with limited education, of various professions, various social positions, residences (towns, villages), etc. which considerably influenced their records. The beginnings of the interest of the Czech historiography in folk chronicles date...

The conflict between the town of Turnov and the counts of Waldstein at the beginning of the 18th century. A contribution to the study of subjugate-authority relationships
Boháček, Jan ; Čechura, Jaroslav (referee) ; Maur, Eduard (advisor)
The relationships between subjects and authorities are well observable in times of their mutual conflict. That was when controversial and conflicting topics had to be defined; moreover, an open dispute left a more evident trace in the written sources. An extensive body of literature already exists on disputes between subjects and authorities in rural contexts. Considerable focus has been on the serf rebellions in the 17th and 18th centuries. To the contrary, little research has been done into the topic of the relationships between tributary towns and their authorities in the Post-Bílá Hora period. The fundamental obstruction has been the individual conditions in the respective towns, the more complex social structures of towns compared to the countryside, and last but not least, the amount of sources that remain yet to be worked on.

Mašitová, Petra ; Čechura, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Fukala, Radek (referee) ; Maur, Eduard (referee)
Inventories of inheritance of the early modem period nobility in the Principate of Opava and Krnov as a source ofhistory of every-dayness The universa! analysis and comparison of nobility's inventories of inheritance is an object of the work. Concemed inventories were built in years 1650-1740, the bottom limit is given by the end of Thirty Y ears' War (late leave of Swedish garrisons from north Moravian and Salesian region) and the top limit corresponds with dividing of Salesian principalities after the lost War of the Austrian Succession. Time definition of the work deliberately ignores year 1620, which is much too stressed as an important marker by Czech historiography. From geographical point of view we cover the region of Czech Silesia, namely historie principalities of Opava and Krnov. The resources' base consists of agenda, which is located in Land archive in Opava, in the fund District executive of Opava-Krnov's principality in Opava 1507-1784. There are over 300 inventory numbers in the aforementioned fund, which contains inheritance and trusteeship cases from the 16th to 18th century. I am interested in 20 inventories of persons, whose houses acted in the area of Upper Silesia: Eichendorf, Vlčkové of Dobrá Zemice, Bokové of Burgvice, Bruntálští of Vrbno, Hodicové of Hodice, Brixové of Moncle and...

Subjects of the Zbiroh manor in the 2nd half of the 17th century
Smolíková, Věra ; Maur, Eduard (referee) ; Čechura, Jaroslav (advisor)
This work has tried to desribe and compare the economic situation of the peasants and the development of the settlement of the Zbiroh manor in the middle of the 17th century and at the beginning of the 18th century. Thanks to the catastrophic effects of the Thirty-year-war in this area, the peasants could saw only one third of their fields with the result that at least one third of the subjects could not meet their financial obligations such as the contributions, farm installments, landholder duties. In the southern part of the mannor, near the Brdy hills, we can find the only area where, thanks to the iron processing, the craft production was developing to a certain degree. The craftsmen here were able to gain considerable profits compared to the other parts of the mannor and thus were not willing to leave for abandoned farms in more fertile areas. In the second half of the 17the century basically all of the abandoned farms had been settled again and new farms had been founded. The fields of the farms had approximately the same area as those of the midle of the century but larger areas (by 1/3) of fields had been sawn. At the beginning of the 18th century most o the subjects seem to have been able to meet their basic necessary financial cost, even if only with dificulty and without any surplus.

The importance of František Kutnar for understanding the modern history of Bohemia
Středová, Veronika ; Beneš, Zdeněk (referee) ; Maur, Eduard (referee)
The importance of František Kutnar for understanding the modern history of Bohemia consists chiefly in his reception and consequent peculiar development of structuralism. He applied structuralist theses, conceived within Czech scholarly environment of the 30s of the 20th century, while thinking up his own stucturalist-functional approach towards the historic fact. Kutnar's ideas demonstrably stem from domestic inspiration sources, especially from Josef Ludvík Fišer's and Jan Mukařovský's writings, on the other hand he was wondrously anticipating theses of French historians of the first and second generation of the Annales Scholl, mainly of Marc Bloch and Fernand Braudel, eventually, he notably harmonized with their approaches. First features of Kutnar's structuralist-functional approach towards the historic fact can be traced already in his works from the early 40s. In Obrozenecký nacionalismus (1940) we find first formulations concerning the structuralist character of the historical reality, contents, transformations and functions of its individual components. More coherent interpretation can be found in Sociálně myšlenkové tvářnosti obrozenského lidu (1948), where Kutnar expressed his opinion of the structuralist approach towards the historic fact the people. There he pointed out its inner complexity,...

Kneblík, Michal ; Tinková, Daniela (advisor) ; Maur, Eduard (referee)
This diploma thesis decribes the practical aspect of education on minor schools in Bohemia throught the Czech educational literature with regard to theories of 'civilization' and 'disciplination' of Norbert Elias and Michel Foucault from 1774 to 1805. Firstly, it focuses on a general context of reforms on the field of primary education in the Habsburg monarchy and especially in Bohemia. It analyses 'school returns'(fase) - the unique source about reforms - after a theoretical part concerns theories of Elias and Foucault and its possible application to the study of education. It outlines the literature used for the education on the basis of 'returns' and the key handbook of J. I. Felbiger Kniha methodní. There were a Catechism, a Spelling-book, Books for reading, the Kniha methodní itself, O pravém způsobu cvičení mládeže from A. V. Pařízek and a Catechism of Health just on the edge. Finally, after their analysis and in the context of forenamed theories, we dare to express some ideas about a school discipline, relations between school, family and body and about a construction of pattern of subject which was influencing an opinion of popular classes at the end of eighteenth century.
