Kopejtko, Martin ; Štemberk, Jan (advisor) ; Šalanda, Bohuslav (referee)
The diploma thesis "The Economic and Cultural Development of the Township of Lhenice in the 19th Century" examines the transformation of life in the township of Lhenice during the so-called long 19th century, a period marked by the beginning of modernity, the industrial revolution, urbanization, the rise of nation states, nationalism and the struggle for national identity, and the ongoing National Revival in the Czech lands. The analysis focuses on key aspects of economic changes, such as changes in agriculture, the development of crafts and industry, and the decline of the market system, as well as on cultural changes, such as the emergence of organised social life or the background to public festivals or other celebrations. The study reveals how the local economy responded to economic development and its challenges and technological advances, how the local community dealt with the gradual institutionalization of poverty and the poverty question in general, and how the whole society was affected by the broader socio-political changes in the Austrian monarchy and the Czech lands. The research also includes a sociological analysis of how the structure of society has changed, particularly in relation to the development of education and educational opportunities. Finally, the thesis highlights the...

Image of Crown Prince Rudolph in Czech society
Raisová, Eliška ; Štemberk, Jan (advisor) ; Šalanda, Bohuslav (referee)
Vždy mne zajímaly názory a pohledy lidí na císařskou rodinu, ale korunní princ Rudolf je téma již samo o sobě. Proto jsem se rozhodla, že se zaměřím na toto téma z pohledu české společnosti, neboť právě zde byl Rudolf oblíben více než na vídeňském dvoře. Každý národ vykresloval Rudolfa v tak trochu jiném světle a já bych český pohled ráda analyzovala a také bych chtěla nalézt důvody, proč na korunního prince pohlížela česká společnost trochu jinak než ta rakouská, zejména vídeňská. Samozřejmě nejvíce společnost zasáhla jeho tragická smrt v loveckém zámečku v Mayerlingu, která byla popisována různými pohledy. Nešlo ale pouze o tuto tragickou událost. Korunní princ Rudolf byl velmi netradiční v tom, že odmítal budoucí vladařské povinnosti, a představa, že by měl být jednoho dne císařem, ho velice děsila. Nebyl rovněž vhodným následníkem, jak už z hlediska své povahy, tak kvůli svým neustálým výstřelkům a skandálům, ale ani nebyl dobrým manželem a otcem, což byl velmi známý fakt, o kterém dobové noviny a tehdejší společnost rády spekulovaly. Budou mne tudíž zajímat i tyto obrazy, které o Rudolfovi podávala dobová média. Budu tedy analyzovat české prameny od roku 1858 až po jeho smrt v roce 1889. V této práci bych pracovala nejen s novinovými články, ale také s různými ego-dokumenty (korespondence,...

The private Business in Czechoslovakia in the second half of the eighties
Novák, Pavel ; Štemberk, Jan (advisor) ; Šalanda, Bohuslav (referee)
The diploma thesis "Private business in Czechoslovakia in the second half of the eighties" focuses on the period of "perestrojka" in the conditions of socialist Czechoslovakia in the second half of the eighties. The aim of the thesis is to describe and especially evaluate the beginnings of private business in socialist Czechoslovakia at the end of the eighties. The research question then is whether this economic form of production and trade had any hope of greater development given the given political order. Derived questions are to what extent private business was successful, what and how big a response it evoked among the population and especially how it was accepted and evaluated by the ruling elite. The thesis traces the change in the attitude of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia towards private business after Mikhail Gorbachev took over as General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and the reconstruction of the economic mechanism announced by him both in the Soviet Union and in its satellites. The primary method will be work with archival materials from the National Archives of the Czech Republic, the Archive of the Security Forces and other state organizations, as well as work with information from the contemporary press. The secondary source...

The Role of Coin Production and its Acceptance in Shaping the Power Structure of Early Medieval Czech Society
Kratochvíl, Jan ; Štemberk, Jan (advisor) ; Charvát, Petr (referee) ; Květina, Petr (referee)
The Ph.D. theses Role of Coin Production and Acceptance in Shaping the Power Structure of Early Bohemian medieval society discusses the earliest historical payment instruments,which appearance is assumed to have occurred in Bohemia in the 10th century. It looks at them, however, through a non-economic prism, the establishment of which is preceded by a critique of existing interpretations. The subject of the research are Slavic payment clothes and the oldest denarii minted in the Bohemian Duchy. The thesis formulates a new hypothesis about the way in which Slavic clothes could have fulfilled certain functions that we nowadays identify with payment. This hypothesis is based on the assumption of a different organization of economic relations in early medieval society. On the basis of this assumed organisation of social relations, a social crisis is subsequently reconstructed, the reflection of which is identified in the St Wenceslas legends, for which a new source of inspiration, Livy's Ab urbe condita libri, is also revealed. The hypothesis about the functioning of Slavic payment clothes is thus subsequently linked with the sources into a broader interpretative whole. The coins are viewed in this work in a chartalist and practical metallist manner, in opposition to the theoretical metallist approach....
