Theme of the city in a contemporary fairytail
Výmolová, Tereza ; Brožová, Věra (advisor) ; Mocná, Dagmar (referee)
English resumé This bachelor thesis handles the theme of city (and its displays) in contemporary fairy tail. The thesis is based on Pavel Šrut's writings Lichožrouti and Lichožrouti se vracejí. From this thesis it is obvious, that space is the main element in these tales. As this space is horizontal and vertical, so it is subjective (seen by the characters) and objective. Through the analysis of each space in each book I tried to look into the way of constructing it in books in general. I also tried to analyse the whole writings (focused on the elements and theme of city). As the main result of my findings I consider the fact, that there is a shift (in the sphere of space) between first and second book. The continuing of this shift (possible loop) is expected in next book (or books).This shift is based on significant opposition as well as on their mutual completion. I also tried to summarize the theme of space and city in academic literature.

Fictionalization of History in History Teaching
Knitlová, Hana ; Parkan, František (advisor) ; Mikeska, Tomáš (referee)
99 Summary The topic of this Diploma thesis focuses on Fictionalization of History in History Teaching. This area is closely connected with Eduard Štorch. Eduard Štorch was an amateur archaeologist, a very good writer and an undervalued teacher. Based on topics which he drew from a variety of archaeological research projects he created and wrote adventure stories which can be classified as somewhere between fiction and popular science stories in which he described oldest periods of Czech history. His books are still recognised today as the very best of their kind and they have been translated into a number of foreign languages. As a teacher, Štorch did his utmost to improve children's education. At his own expense and almost single-handedly he built a "Children's Farm" on Libeňský ostrov in Prague. It was meant as a place for educating children not only inside a classroom but also in the middle of nature. Children from other schools in Prague were encouraged to use the outdoors facilities there in their free time as well. Eduard Štorch tried to promote and enforce changes in the teaching of all school subjects but concentrated on the teaching of history. For this purpose he published several books such as "The Reform of the History Taught at Schools" (Reforma školního dějepisu; 1905), "The New History"...
