The image of the American woman on TV screen in 1950's
Blažková, Michaela ; Vošahlíková, Pavla (referee) ; Pullmann, Michal (advisor)
The 1950s in the United States of America brought about not only political, economic and cultural changes, but also a social change on a massive scale. The way of perceiving men and women, their work, leisure and personal ambition, changed significantly. This change was influenced by further medical, sociological and psychological discoveries, but the crucial influence came from the movies and television. The middle of the 20th century was the time when mass media became a part of everyday family life and took a firm hold in the majority of American households. The entertainment industry became involved in forming the social reflection and became influenced by it in turn. Based on the analysis of selected products from the entertainment industry which represent a sample of differing approaches in film and television, this diploma thesis explores the depiction and reflection of the perception of the family, the depiction of women, childhood, the home, relationships etc. The thesis focuses on the reconstruction of interpersonal relationships in film and television, with the emphasis on the role of women, in the context of social development in the United States of America after the Second World War and in the 1950s.

Comparison of Prague and Budapest at the turn of the 19th and 20th century
Bierzová, Jana ; Štaif, Jiří (advisor) ; Vošahlíková, Pavla (referee)
Devatenácté století je stoletím, ve kterém jakoby se zrychlil vývoj lidstva a společnosti. Je to století vědy, průmyslu, literatury, divadel, dopravy, národních hnutí, nových politických směrů i nových vizí fungování společnosti. Všechny tyto fenomény se nějaký způsobem, ať už se jedná o důsledek či příčinu, pojí s městy a městským způsobem života, který se v 19. století šířil nezadržitelnou rychlostí všemi evropskými zeměmi. Města a jejich kultura se staly novými fenomény doby, symbolem civilizace, modernity a pokroku. Moderní metropole posílily svou roli centra společenského života, politiky i průmyslu a jejich obyvatelé převzali v těchto oblastech elitní postavení. Měšťanstvo a poté i dělnictvo byly společenské skupiny, jejichž morálka, cíle a hodnoty se prosadily postupně v celospolečenském diskurzu.

The statute of domestic servants in Prague's middle class households in the turn od the 20th century. Identity, social mobility and the way of their lives
Machková Prajzová, Naděžda ; Kubů, Eduard (advisor) ; Vošahlíková, Pavla (referee) ; Macková, Marie (referee)
This thesis deals with the social group of domestic servants, concretely with the maids in Prague's households at the turn of the 20th century (untill the twenties). The servants were the integrant part of the households until the recent times. This social group appeared in various kinds of forms, in various kinds of roles and settings. To have the servants was the symbol for beeing a part of prestigious level of the society. The reasons for keeping the servants could, however, be also pragmatic for many not so rich households - there was a need of employment, resp. ocupation for all the adult members of those families in the (family) trade or farming. The second half of the 19th century is the time of big changes for this social group. The progressive industrialization and the modernization and the urbanization of the society lead to the falling of traditional form of the self-supporting family, further to the restriction of the working load for women and also to the lesser need of the family servants. The domestic servant demand started to be determinated with the social status instead of the economic situation of the family. This demand defines the Maid and also her new duties. There was about one third of the Czech households and one half of the German ones in Prague keeping a housemaid around 1900....

The Honzak's sisters: the family background of the first university female students
Malá, Marie ; Vošahlíková, Pavla (referee) ; Štaif, Jiří (advisor)
V úvodu své práce jsem si jako hlavní cíl vytyčila sledování osudů konkrétní rodiny, a to v kontextu vzpomínek jednoho z jejích členů - Albíny Honzákové. Metodou komparace několika pramenů stejného charakteru a na základě odborné literatury jsem se snažila vysledovat, do jaké míry Honzákovi naplňovali obecnou představu o rodině české inteligence v rámci středních vrstev v období 2. poloviny 19. století. V souvislosti s chronologickým členěním Pamětí jsem se také v druhé části své práce podrobněji zaměřila na otázku vzdělávání žen v Českých zemích na přelomu 19. a 20. století. Vzhledem k souboru využitých pramenů a dalších materiálů je dle mého názoru možné provést na tomto místě shrnující interpretaci a předložit některé závěry, ke kterým jsem v rámci vymezených témat dospěla. Jak jsem se pokusila v textu své bakalářské práce naznačit, podstatnou roli při utváření osudů potomků hrálo v minulosti (bezesporu ve větší míře než v dnešní době) rodinné zázemí, které bylo v případě dětí Honzákových více než optimální. Jejich rodiče se v souladu se vzory a cíli chování příslušníků své společenské vrstvy přičinili o relativní blahobyt a váženost rodiny, čemuž také odpovídala adekvátní společenská reprezentace a určitý životní standard. Rodiče za účelem udržení přinejmenším stejného t /1 pOs avem svých dětí předávali...

The Czech un-film advertisement being published in film periodicals between years 1918-1938
Hradec, Vít ; Vošahlíková, Pavla (advisor) ; Groman, Martin (referee)
Film press, as well as any other kind of press, depends on advertising. Commercial success of a periodical reflects its ability to attract as many good advertisers as possible. This press is popular with readers as well as the film phenomena itself. The advertisers use its potential for offering their products or services. The purpose of the research is to find out how offered products are connected to the film periodical in which these are advertised; or which persuasive strategies are used so that a consumer can associate a product with some of the film culture aspects. The followed thesis says the Czech "un- film" advertisement being published between years 1918-1938 uses specific communication strategies to enforce, depending on a sort of a periodical itself. The "un-film" advertisement is defined as a commercial content that offers a product or a service with no logical connection to film. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)
