Possibilities of Psychobiography in Czech Cultural Environment
Flíčková, Aneta ; Brummer, Martin (advisor) ; Valentová, Hana (referee)

First, I describe the historical background of the development of the psychobiographical approach and the main methodological procedures in psychobiographical research. Then I analyze the individual categories that were used in the subsequent interpretation. Proposals for interpretations for the creation of a future psychobiographical text arose from a purely autobiographical text (available memoirs of the analyzed personalities). I work here with the topic of psychobiography as a basic method of psychological research, which I apply to the leading politicians of the Czechoslovak political scene in the first half of the twentieth century.

Puppeteers, gymnasts, vendors, blade sharpeners. Changes of life strategies of itinerant lineages between the late 18th and early 20th Centuries

The hereby presented thesis pursues the occupations of puppeteers, gymnasts, vendors, blade sharpeners and changes of life strategies of itinerant lineages between the late 18th and early 20th Centuries. Above all, the research was anchored at various registers - firstly comprising registry offices, censuses, registers of homestead participants or residence applications. These were supplemented by the then public press, remembrances of contemporaries and other sources. The historical and demographical analyses based upon genealogical outputs were the dominant methodological background, the subject of which primarily became the characteristics of itinerant individuals and their place within society. The author also inquired into their ethnic origins and specific ways of earning one´s living. The pivot of this treatise, nonetheless, was to reveal true historical circumstances having once brought into life a number of widespread clan legends. Neither marriage strategies were omitted as they provided proof of certain behavioural patterns of both the itinerant and settled individuals. Last but not the least, attention was paid to the sojourn and life en route within this roving peripheral community, the presupposed uniqueness of which was fully proved in every respect.

Between Masaryk´s and Kramář. Phenomenon Russia stand by generate of the Czechoslovakia
Vlček, Radomír
T.G.Masaryk and K. Kramář ranked among the most significant persons as regards formulating visions of of creating an independent Czechoslovak state. Russia, a large independent Slav-inhabited state, played by you an extremely important role. Kramář´s conception of Russia was based in idealization of the Russian milieu, while Masaryk´s critical Russophilism was based on judgement of Russia´s pros and cons.
