The folk culture as a factor of tourism development in the region of Valašsko
BLÁHOVÁ, Petra
The aim of this thesis is to highlight the importance of folk culture for tourism development and to suggest options for better evaluation and effective use of the potential of folk culture tourism in the selected region based on the results of the analysis in the region of Wallachia. In the introduction of the practical part I deal with the current supply of Wallachia. The fundamental part was quantitative marketing research in the form of a questionnaire survey. The aim of the survey was to identify the participants of tourism in terms of demographic characteristics, determine the purpose of the visit, analyse their financial expenses, and identify subjective perception of culture and assessment of infrastructure and services in the region. I designed a new product called "Wallachia hunt", which aim was to involve young people in the Wallachia culture, tourism allows participants to actively and an interesting way to travel around the region and specifically to discover its natural and cultural wealth. "Wallachia hunt" is based on the worldwide known activity called geocaching. In my work I have put together a detailed proposal for annual testing of this activity.

The Journey of the Literary Canon
YAKIMOVA, Vera Hristova
The PhD thesis The Journey of the Literary Canon surveys the issues of canonicity and canon formation in a foreign context. The text presents the prevailing thinking about canons in general, using five concepts: the ?classic?, tradition, aesthetic value, representation and cultural capital. The thesis then seeks to incorporate other fields of literary study that can contribute to the subject of canon formation, specifically in a foreign context, such as comparative literature and translation theory. The notion of world literature, and problems such as equivalence in translation, are addressed from a canonical perspective. At the end of the second chapter, a strategy for studying the formation of literary canons in a foreign context is outlined. The last chapter endeavours to implement the theories presented in the first two chapters, using as its raw material Czech literature in Bulgaria after World War II. The study presents aspects of translation strategy, analyses anthologies as a canonical genre, and outlines the journey that Hašek?s The Good Soldier Švejk underwent in becoming part of the Bulgarian canon of Czech literature.
