The Conception of Modern Korea in the Work of Seo Jae-pil
Kašparová, Blanka ; Löwensteinová, Miriam (advisor) ; Glomb, Vladimír (referee)
Seo Jae-pil was a key protagonist during the period of the Reform Movement in Korea. As he was one of the few Koreans who personally experienced life in the West, it was natural that he wanted to apply this knowledge to his own country. In order to set Seo Jae-pil in historical context, the first chapter of this thesis deals with the characterization of the time when he was born. A description of his early life is also part of the same chapter. The second chapter deals with his exile in the USA, where he took refuge, after the Gapsin Coup in 1884. The objective of the third chapter is to analyze the changes that Seo Jae-pil suggested during his stay in Korea between the years 1896 and 1898. Through these reforms Korea should have been modernized and should have ranked among the world's developed countries. The analysis of the reforms suggested by Seo Jae-pil focuses on the spheres of the political, educational, social and legal systems. This part features extracts from articles written by Seo Jae-pil and provides an analysis of them. I also pay attention to The Independent newspaper and the Independence Club, as both were founded by Seo Jae-pil during the same period, 1896-1898.

Korea under the Japanese occupation during the World War II
Danielová, Dorota ; Löwensteinová, Miriam (advisor) ; Horák, Tomáš (referee)
Toto historické téma je jedno z nejkontroverznějších témat v dějinách korejské historie. Mnoho záležitostí mezi Koreou a Japonskem dodnes není vyřešeno a dodnes jitří city na straně korejského, ale i japonského národa. Tématem práce je Korea v období druhé světové války. Bylo by však velmi obtížné v práci dostatečně a srozumitelně zachytit situaci, v níž se Korea nacházela, aniž bych předem nenastínila celý vývoj, kterým během násilného obsazení tato země a tento národ prošel. Začlenila jsem proto do práce i stručný popis toho, jak k anexi Koreje v první řadě došlo. Koloniální politika té doby byla velmi různorodá a strategie vlády v jednotlivých států se lišil. Obzvláště Japonsko ve své politice naznačilo kompletně nový směr, kterým se žádný ze států nikdy před ním nevydal. Jednu kapitolku na úvod proto věnuji také této otázce s popisem celkového vývoje kolonialismu. Následně mám v úmyslu rozvést novou koloniální politiku, kterou Japonsko aplikovalo v Koreji v podrobnějším měřítku popisem sociálních a ekonomických změn, které Japonsko v Koreji uskutečnilo po dobu celého svého koloniálního působení. Tyto změny, které tak zásadně zasáhly do života korejského lidu, zapříčinily veškeré pozdější dění a mnohé z nich přetrvaly po dobu celé okupace. Myslím si tedy, že je nezbytné tyto jevy popsat pro hlubší...

ROK army participation in Vietnam War
Baboráková, Michaela ; Löwensteinová, Miriam (advisor) ; Glomb, Vladimír (referee)
This thesis addresses the participation of the Republic of Korea Army in the Vietnam War. It is a not very well known fact that the Korean Army was the second largest force allied to the United States in South Vietnam. Korean participation still carries a certain amount of controversy, especially in regards to Vietnamese/Korean relations. The Republic of Korea deployed to the Republic of Vietnam two infantry divisions and one Marine Corps brigade. The Korean Army worked closely with US Army elements and the Army of the Republic of Vietnam in a range of combat actions. This was the first overseas deployment since the Korean defense forces known as ROKA were established. Korean soldiers were trained by American army instructors and the Americans were curious they would perform in the combat arena. Chapter One is a brief history of Vietnam War. Due to special importance of allied forces presence in Vietnam for the theme I describe the Vietnam War history only until 1973. Chapter Two introduces the Korean Army participation through eyes of US Army authorities. The text is mostly based on Larsen and Collins' "Allied Participation In Vietnam". This chapter describes a way that led to official agreements about the Korean participation and a Korean Forces functioning in the South Vietnam combat arena. There are a...

Czech-Korean dictionary
Park, Mi -Young ; Nebeská, Iva (advisor) ; Löwensteinová, Miriam (referee) ; Pucek, Vladimír (referee)
The dissertation 'Czech-Korean dictionary' consists of two parts: this study and the dictionary (M. Park: Česko-Koreajský slovník,Olomouc 2004). The lexicological method applicated on the Czech- Korean dictionary was generally based on the methodological principles, showed in the Manuals of Lexicology (ed. F. Čermák, R. Blantná 1995). The target users of the dictionary are Koreans living in Czech Republic, it is mainly begginers and pre-intermediate learners of Czech language, the selection of headwords and the volume of the dictionary were adapted to this(medium size dictionary with 25000 headwords). The selection of headwords was based primarily on the ‚Frequency vocabulary of Czech language', materialy on the SSJČ, SSČ and two bilingual dictionaries. This study focuses on the problems concerning the Czech-Korean lexicography, that relate to the differences of both languages and culture. On the typological differences, I mainly focused on morphology (II. chap.). While Czech as a language is flexible, it accumulates gramatical meanings in a single element. Korean as a language is agglutinated, it expresses gramatical meanings by arranging number of elements after each other. A number of differences were shown in the classification of parts of speech. From this point of view the most interesting are the...
