Knotová Vaicová, Barbora ; Wohlmuth Markupová, Jana (advisor) ; Krátká, Lenka (referee)
Master thesis focuses on the life story of Josef Rabas, the multiple world champion of the International six days enduro competition. Thesis uses biographical research together with oral history method to capture the storytelling of his life journey. The emphasis is placed not only on the chronological description of the person's life but also on the explanation and understanding of contextual impacts of the period in which he lived. Another followed line is the explanation of the chosen career path where we search for possible contradiction to family's tradition. Besides being the motorcycle racer, Josef is a grandson of the academic painter and renowned artist Václav Rabas and a son of Jan Rabas, a lawyer and one of the signatories of the "Dva tisíce slov" document. Therefore, we also emphasized the family's socio-political context.
