Hindsinght of Habsburgs Empire by historians from the United Kingdom
Zázvorková, Markéta ; Vlnas, Vít (advisor) ; Parkan, František (referee)
V tématu své práce bych se chtěla věnovat srovnání přístupu k nazírání na dějiny Habsurské monarchie. Budu porovnávat přístup českých a anglických historiků a jejich pohledy na naše dějiny či dějiny Habsburské monarchie. Bude mezi jejich a naším pohledem rozdíl? Vzhledem k tomu, že nepředpokládám velký zápal Britů o znalost dějin habsburské monarchie, budu své téma rozšiřovat i někdy o starší a nové děj iny Českých zemí. Jelikož se s děj inami setkáváme ve vyučovacích hodinách, tak v didaktické části práce budu porovnávat přístup k vyučování dějepisu u nás a ve Velké Británi. Vyberu si určitou věkovou skupinu žáků a porovnáme učebnice používané k výuce u nich s našimi. Stejně jako jejich vzdělávací systém. Později svému zkoumání podrobím všeobecné historické publikace vydané ve Velké Británii. Otázkou výzkumu bude, zda vůbec se v dějepisných encyklopediích či odborných publikacích objevují události z našich dějin či nikoliv? A pokud ano, které události z naší minulosti to jsou? Výstupem z porovnávání publikací bude pro mne orientace v tématech, které znají či neznají britští autoři. Kam budou sahat jejich znalosti? Která témata jsou vykládána rozdílně oproti jejich pojetí u nás? To jsou mé hlavní otázky, jenž Sl kladu. Aplikovat budu nakonec svůj poznatek zcela konkrétně. Vyberu Sl jedno z problematických...

Historical myth in Julius Zeyer's Work
Křišťanová, Dita ; Vlnas, Vít (advisor) ; Charvát, Petr (referee) ; Hrdina, Martin (referee)
Historical myth in Julius Zeyer's Work PhDr. Dita Křišťanová ABSTRACT: Ph.D. thesis Historical myth in Julius Zeyer's Work is the result of my long standing interest in the writer's personality, in the period of the second half of 19th century and in the problem of historical myths and stereotypes and their mass use. Julius Zeyer constructed meganarration - a whole set of myths that the Czech people were missing. The thesis examines where Zeyer was inspired, how he worked over his knowledge literally and how it was responded by contemporary criticism. At the same time, the thesis is focused on their connection to art, compares, how Zeyer's contemporaries wrote about similar topics. The work is based on the exploration of the writer's works, texts with similar themes, textbooks published after writer's death, archival materials and the press of the 19th century. Aim of this Ph.D. thesis is to prove the uniqueness and elusive concept of intangibility of Zeyer's Czech historical myth. Because of its complexity it could not become a major national idea.

The Reconstruction of the Stone Box containing the Crown of St. Wenceslas. The Karlštejn Restoration and its reflection in the Czech Press
Venclík, David ; Ferstl, Roman (advisor) ; Vlnas, Vít (referee)
Doba vlády císaře Karla IV. byla českou společností 19. století vnímána jako zlatý věk dějin země. Společně s postavou panovníka se stávaly předmětem zájmu také stavby související s jeho zakladatelskou činností. Kromě katedrály sv. Víta patřil k nej významnějším právě Karlštejn. Dodnes není zcela jasné za jakým účelem nechal Karel IV. v blízkosti Prahy tento královský hrad vlastně postavit. 1 Uschování svatých ostatků, říšských korunovačních insignií i důležitých listin však svědčí o tom, že pevnost měla pro císaře naprosto unikátní význam. Velmi často sem panovník přijížděl před důležitými státnickými rozhodnutími, ovšem později jeho návštěv ubylo. Prostory hradu měl zřejmě až příliš propojené se svou třetí ženou Annou Svídnickou, a po její smrti zanevřel. Mnohem častěji pobýval na hradě Tangermünde, který Karlštejn svojí vnitřní výzdobou v mnohém připomíná. Hrad se měl stát rezidencí jeho nej staršího syna a nástupce Václava IV., ovšem ten si místo příliš neoblíbil. V době husitských válek se Karlštejn stal nedobytnou pevností katolické strany.2 Roku 1446 sem byly přemístěny svatováclavské klenoty, čímž byl hradu propůjčen nový význam. Po velkém požáru Pražského hradu roku 1541 bylo rozhodnuto umístit sem kopie zemských desek. Změna nastala na počátku 17. století, kdy Karlštejn svůj dřívější smysl...

The Grand Master of the Order took the vows under the rule of sophisticated, erudite lawyer Grandmaster Martin Constantine Beinlich and in the second half of the 17th century tread in the steps of the Restorer of the Order, George Ignatius Pospichal. Sophisticated Böhmb became parish priest in Carlsbad firs. It was in 1720 when the General Prior called him to Prague as a Prior and after Beinlich's death was, on the feast of St. Agnes in March 2, 1722, unanimously elected Grand Master. Thesis followed particularly the cultural activities of the forenamed prelate, in the time of the day-to-day duties of the convent ad Pedem Pontis.

Women in the Recatholization of the Czech Lands
Jiřincová, Barbora ; Vlnas, Vít (advisor) ; Čornejová, Ivana (referee) ; Knoz, Tomáš (referee)
The thesis addresses the topic of women in the process of the recatholization of Bohemia and focuses mainly on the first half of the 17th century. The author investigated if and how much the experience of women differed from that of men. More than the legislation and newly created norms the application of these directions enlightens the topic of women. Rich material connected to the activity of the recatholization commission and other authorities devoted to the conversion of Czech population was used. Sources of statistical character were used for evaluation of the results of the process. Because of their extent, regional restriction had to be made - we focused on Boleslavsko. In the focus of the thesis were mainly townswomen and lower nobility. One of the most important findings is the fact that the authorities saw women as important as men in the process. Although specific, seemingly more moderate, means for coercion were used in women's case. This flexibility is typical for the Catholic church's approach to women and we are in concord with other researchers, mostly from abroad. The findings also contribute to our knowledge of the process of the recatholization of the Czech lands. KEY WORDS Recatholization, Catholic reformation, women's history, gender history, early modern ages, counter-reformation.

Criminality in the Říčany District in the Second Half of the 17th Century
Šimek, Jan ; Zilynskyj, Bohdan (advisor) ; Vlnas, Vít (referee)
Výzkum dějin kriminality, resp. hrdelního soudnictví, je v českých zemích neodmyslitelně spjat se jmény Jaroslava Pánka a Evy Procházkové, jejichž systematická a intenzivní činnost na tomto poli začala v první polovině 70. let a trvala přibližně dvě desetiletí. Ačkoliv - až na jednu výjimku - pracovali a publikovali tito badatelé samostatně, jejich výzkumy jsou úzce provázány nejen regionálním vymezením (jižní část dnešního středočeského kraje) a časovým záběrem sahajícím od konce 15. století přibližně do poloviny 18. století, ale i metodickými východisky. Jejich studie jsou totiž výrazným zlomem v do té doby obvyklém právněhistorickém pohledu na hrdelního soudnictví a prvním pokusem v české historiografii ukázat tuto problematiku jako součást sociálních dějin a dějin mentalit. Trvalou hodnotu si tyto práce uchovávají díky připojeným regestům pramenů, z nichž vycházejí a zcela mimořádný je jejich význam coby příspěvků к dějinám správy a raně novověké diplomatiky.

The baroque Waldsteine in Bohemia (1640-1740)
Hrbek, Jiří ; Maur, Eduard (advisor) ; Petráň, Josef (referee) ; Vlnas, Vít (referee)
My thesis describes the evolution of the Waldstein clan in the age of one hundred years after the Thirty Years War. Both termini which I have chosen (1640 and 1740) are not exactly kept because of logic of my constructions. I aspire to commit an integrated and compact view of activities of Waldstein clan, which belonged to an aristocratic class through its property, political power and an amount of social relations. It was one of the most famous and most powerful family structures in early modern Bohemia and in the whole Habsburg monarchy as well. My method combines a lot of approaches including biography (prosopography) and structure analysis. I want to inquire the relations between the Waldstein family and the changing social and political structures, in which they acted. The first part concerns stories of the personalities growing from the clan, their activities in the frame of early modern state and its administration. In the time of 17th and 18th centuries, this activity was connected with the fealty to the ruler and the service for the ruler was an essential assumption for making the career. As courtiers, diplomats and officers, the Waldsteine came up to expectations of their estate. The models of aristocratic careers I have related to the life cycle and I have described the making of...

Women in Reformation
Hanušová, Barbora ; Vlnas, Vít (advisor) ; Čornejová, Ivana (referee)
Women in Reformation The position of women developed throughout history. Religious reformation, which took place in the early 16th century in the German speaking countries and hundred years earlier in the Czech Kingdom, was one of the movements which changed radically the position of women in the society. First, the religious leaders beginning with Martin Luther changed the clerical view which saw women as incompetent, incomplete and sinful beings into one of respect to the gender and its specifics and to the biological role played by women - motherhood. As a result, women were respected in the society as wives and mothers; nobody wrote preaching about them being danger to men anymore. But with the attack on the monasteries women were deprived of the only way for higher education and independence offered to them in these institutions. The Czech reformation never fully changed its view on marriage. Celibacy and virginity were still considered better ways to salvation then marriage and especially its consummation. In the end both Utraquists and the Unity of Brethren accepted Luther's view on marriage, especially the marriage of priests, but never fully. They tended to see celibacy as the better although for most people impossible way. But the position of women in these branches of Czech reformation was...

The Medals of the Emperor Francis Stephen of Lorraine.
Kleisner, Tomáš ; Konečný, Lubomír (advisor) ; Vlnas, Vít (referee) ; Vácha, Štěpán (referee)
THE WORK DEALS WITH MEDALS MADE FOR THE EMPEROR FRANCIS STEPHEN OF LORRAINE ((8th DECEMBER 1708 Nancy 18th AUGUST 1765 INNSBRUCK). THEY ARE NOT ONLY DESCRIBED BUT ALSO EXPLAINED AS TOOLS OF POLITICAL PROPAGANDA IN THE TIME WITHOUT TELEVISION AND RADIO BROADCASTING WHEN PAPERS WERE NOT PRINTED DAILY BUT ONCE A WEEK. THE DUKES OF LORRAINE HAD LONG MINTED THEIR OWN COINS. UNLIKE COINS, MEDALS DID NOT HAVE A SET VALUE OR EVEN A MONETARY FUNCTION, AND THEIR PRODUCTION WAS NOT RESERVED FOR THE GOVERNMENT. THE MEDALS SHOW PEOPLE AS THEY WISH TO BE PERCEIVED BY THE PUBLIC. INDIVIDUAL DETAILS ARE NOT FAITHFULL REPRESENTATIONS OF REALITY, THEY ARE SYMBOLS. THE INSCRIPTIONS SUMMARIZED A MAN'S SOCIAL STATUS AND TITLES. THE REVERSE SHOWS THE INTENTION OF THE ISSUER. USING EMBLEMS IT EITHER EXPRESSES GENERAL MORAL PRECEPTS OR CELEBRATES SUCCESSES ACHIEVED. THE IMPERIAL COURT GAVE OFFICIAL MEDALS A UNIFORM CHARACTER. THE VIENNA MINT HAD AN OFFICIAL PORTRAIT OBVERSE AT THEIR DISPOSAL, FOR WHICH THE ENGRAVER CREATED ORIGINAL REVERSES AS REQUESTED. ASIDE FROM THE COURT COMMISSIONS ARTISTS ALSO MADE MEDALS THEY SUPPOSED WOULD SELL WELL. MEDAL MAKERS SOLD THEIR WORK EITHER THEMSELVES OR IN BOOKSHOPS AND PRINTING HOUSES AND THE MEDALS WERE PART OF THE NEWS OF THE DAY. MOST BAROQUE MEDALS WERE COLLECTIVE WORKS. THE THEME, MOTTO,...

Formation of national identity in a multinational environment: Paris immigrants in the years 1848-1900
Olšáková, Doubravka ; Vlnas, Vít (advisor) ; Šedivý, Ivan (referee) ; Galmiche, Xavier (referee)
The thesis deals with the problem of formation national identity in a multinational milieu on the case study of immigrants in Paris 1848-1900. This study is based on the analysis of archival books stored in Archives de Paris. The theories of nationalism are confronted with the quantitative analysis of data mentioned in the application forms. The analysis is made for Germany, Luxembourg, Bohemia and Hungary. The general trend tends toward the identification with State-Nation, the only exception is Bohemia. The majority of immigrants from this country professed to Austria. However, the general trend pointed out that the delay of mass anticipation was bigger than supposed by the theoretical issues. This phenomenon is due to the weak social mobilization caused by the limited capabilities and possibilities of leading local elites. The author tries to explain the Czech exception through the semiotic analysis of collective memory transformation made on the examples of notions frontier and out/and.
