Bělohradová, Šárka ; Charvát, Petr (advisor) ; Parkan, František (referee)
Mů j zájem o dě jiny Velké Moravy zač al již krátce po narození. Ne, není to omyl, narodila jsem se totiž v Uherském Hradišti a celý svů j dosavadní život prožila ve Starém Mě stě , v centru onoho dávného Veligradu, který svou velikostí a vyspě lostí v devátém století př edč il mnohé svě tové civilizace a př edbě hl dě jinný vývoj mnohdy až o ně kolik staletí. Již ve 3 letech jsem v doprovodu rodiců zpovzdálí se zájmem sledovala práci archeologů a ve skrytu duše jim závidě la to jejich "velké pískoviště " a speciální "lopatky", se kterými si tam den co den "hráli"... Dnes již jen s úsmě vem na tvář i vzpomínám na mou bujnou fantazii a uvě domuji si, že ono "velké pískoviště ", na které jsem se v 80.letech 20.století chodila dívat, bylo pohř ebiště "Na Valách" a archeologové se tam vě novali dalšímu ze svých př ínosných archeologických výzkumů . Možná jsem tam tehdy ještě stač ila zahlédnout Viléma Hrubého, jednoho z nejvýznamně jších archeologů Starého Mě sta, nebo Luď ka Galušku, soudobého archeologa, se kterým jsem se po více jak 20 letech setkala v Mě stském zemském muzeu v Brně , aby mi shrnul dosavadní archeologické úspě chy a dal velmi cenné rady k této diplomové práci. V posledních mě sících jsem mnohokrát odpovídala na otázku, co mě vedlo k výbě ru tématu mé práce a proč jsem si zvolila právě Velkou...

Ancient Constellations as a cultural Phaenomenon
Juřina, Petr ; Bouzek, Jan (advisor) ; Charvát, Petr (referee) ; Dufková, Marie (referee)
The firm connection of the heavenly constellations with characters and passages from Greek mythology is earned above all Aratus of Soloi, a Hellenistic poet from the time of Ptolemy II. His didactic poem Phainomena ("Phenomena in the sky") reached such popularity in its time that it lived to be translated into Latin several times and its contents became a firm part of the heritage of European civilization. The beginnings of the entire system of dividing the heavens into 48 parts, go back to a much older period. Astronomy has reliably brought forth evidence that the root of these heavenly "parcels" has its origins in the Near East 7.000-6.000 years ago. These conclusions of exact sciences also help confirm indications seen in the last while in various social-scientific disciplines. We find reflections of this ancient tradition in cosmological-astronomical (astrological) aspects of ancient cultures, or in paleoastronomical constructions of many archaeologically found features of prehistoric Europe.

1 SUMMARY: Magie, mystika a liturgie: židovská tradice v amuletech pozdní antiky Magic, Mysticism and Liturgy: Jewish Tradition in Amulets of Late Antiquity Marek Vinklát This dissertation thesis focuses on a phenomenon of Aramaic magic bowl, or Aramaic incantation bowls, amulets originating in Mesopotamia of Late Antiquity. It is a first Czech monograph on this topic and also a bold attempt to translate texts of these already published bowls to the Czech language. After the introduction, which elucidates the means of selection and translation of sixteen presented bowls, author discusses the history of research on these peculiar amulets. Many past and modern scholars are presented here with their theories, attitudes and publications. A special part of this second chapter is dedicated to the problem of black antiquities market and illegal trade with Aramaic magic bowls. The first chapter is dealing with a possible connection of bowls and Hekhalot literature, which is also briefly introduced and described. Author analyzes and translates five Aramaic magic bowls and compares their preciously unique content with relevant macroforms of Hekhalot literature. As was stated by another scholars, the Aramaic magic bowls were written by people, who knew the Hekhalot literature and, possibly, were cherishing it. Next...

Historical myth in Julius Zeyer's Work
Křišťanová, Dita ; Vlnas, Vít (advisor) ; Charvát, Petr (referee) ; Hrdina, Martin (referee)
Historical myth in Julius Zeyer's Work PhDr. Dita Křišťanová ABSTRACT: Ph.D. thesis Historical myth in Julius Zeyer's Work is the result of my long standing interest in the writer's personality, in the period of the second half of 19th century and in the problem of historical myths and stereotypes and their mass use. Julius Zeyer constructed meganarration - a whole set of myths that the Czech people were missing. The thesis examines where Zeyer was inspired, how he worked over his knowledge literally and how it was responded by contemporary criticism. At the same time, the thesis is focused on their connection to art, compares, how Zeyer's contemporaries wrote about similar topics. The work is based on the exploration of the writer's works, texts with similar themes, textbooks published after writer's death, archival materials and the press of the 19th century. Aim of this Ph.D. thesis is to prove the uniqueness and elusive concept of intangibility of Zeyer's Czech historical myth. Because of its complexity it could not become a major national idea.
