The concept of woman on the background of social change at the turn of the 19. century (1895-1905)
Košutová, Klára ; Sochorová, Ludmila (referee) ; Štěpánová, Irena (advisor)
The paper is focused on studying the traditional concept of woman in view of its conflict with the gradually enforced demands of women within the feminist movement. The main demands of women on their way to coequality were the right to higher education, free choice of occupation, and unsegregated legal status. As they struggle for their rights, the traditional concept of woman, which places her in a role of domesticity, is used as a strong instrument against their wishes. A woman is only supposed to be a wife, mother and a housewife and she is considered incapable of and unfit to gain any other position in society. The concept of unequal status of a woman particularly governed middle class life, depicting a specific glamour in the role of an ideal woman and family life. Social changes brought up by industrial revolution and upheavals in demographic equilibrium where the percentage of women alarmingly outnumbered that of men confronted society with the task of increasing quantity of women left without possibility of subsistence, either by occupation or marrying a male- provider. Hostility toward the new claims of women was based on men's fear of competition and an unwillingness to share heretofore exclusively men's domains of power; the higher education system, the labor market and the right to vote. It...

Myth of P. Antonín Koniáš and its changes
Beneš, Pavel ; Kašpar, Oldřich (advisor) ; Sochorová, Ludmila (referee) ; Fiala, Jiří (referee)
Pojem "mýtus" - chápaný ve smyslu falešných, iluzorních představ -je používán i v následující disertační práci, jež si klade za cíl zdokumentovat a analyzovat problematiku genese, vývoje a funkce mýtu, s nímž je česká veřejnost již více než dvě staletí konfrontována, mýtu spojeného s osobností českého jezuitského misionáře, P. Antonína Koniáše. Smyslem této práce přitom není shora uvedený mýtus bořit, ale jen vykládat. Koniášovský mýtus je jen jedním z mnoha mýtů a stereotypů, vytvořených českou společností v období novověku a je třeba ho vnímat jako jejich součást. Tento mýtus, podobně jako mnohé další, procházel během své existence řadou proměn a svou roli sehrál i v rámci aktivit, souvisejících s národně - emancipačním hnutím. V souvislosti s tím budeme sledovat, jak byl P. Koniáš českou společností v různých etapách jejího vývoje vnímán. Výslovně zde hovořím o "české společnosti", protože veškeré mé dosavadní výzkumy nasvědčují tomu, že do širšího povědomí českých Němců tento misionář nevstoupil, ač sám německy kázal i psal a rovněž tak nejstarší zmínky o něm jsou vedle latinských pramenů psané právě v německém jazyce. Zaměření disertační práce odpovídá i její struktura. Uvedená tematika je sledována na pozadí proměn české společnosti od doby baroka po současnost, přičemž hlavní pozornost je soustředěna...

Pecirka's National Calender and its authors
Slavíková, Šárka ; Sochorová, Ludmila (referee) ; Štěpánová, Irena (advisor)
The core topic ofthis thesis is National Calendar (Národní Kalendář), later also known as Pečírka' s National Calendar (Pečírkův Národní Kalendář), and its formers. National Calendar had been published in Bohemia yearly for almost a hundred years, from the 1850's till the end of the 1940's. The success of National Calendar was undeniably the result of the efforts of Dr. Josef Pečírka, the founder of the Calendar, and his wife Mariana, who carried forward the tradition of publishing the popular book after her husband's premature death. However, not even her own death brought the end to the Calendar; the Pečírka family kept compiling and publishing it regularly each year until 1949. ln this thesis, the author focused mainly on the period 1858 - 1904, the era spanning between publishing of the first issue of the Calendar and the death of Mariana Pečírková who represented the first generation of its creators. The first chapter represents an introduction to general history of calendars. It gives an account of inception of calendar as a system, describes the first means of its recording and the later shift towards book-like calendars, and depicts the evolution of calendars in the world. This chapter also mentions the predecessors of classical calendar literature and follows the bloom of calendars in Bohemia,...

Prague folk-tales in the second half of 19th century
Janeček, Petr ; Sochorová, Ludmila (advisor) ; Sochorová, Ludmila (referee)
Presented study analyzes local oral tradition in the second half of the 19th century with particular interest in Prague local legends, their character, genesis and function. The ca se study of Prague local legends, collected by Czech writer Popelka Biliánová, has two main goals: to analyse and classify these oral texts, and to connect their interpretation by their collector to Czech national movement, ethnic stereotypes and archeological, historical and mythological studies of the period. Prague local legends collected by Popelka Biliánová represent, unlike other prague local legends, which were heavily influenced by medieval chronicles or literary tradition, in its larger part authentic oral texts. None of the collectors of Prague local legends before and after Biliánová's period, with possible exception of Biliánová' s precessedor, historian Josef Svátek, was able to collect such authentic local folklore tradition. Biliánová' s Prague legends could be classified as a folklore genre of superstitious legends and have relatively recent origin: some derive from Catholic pious legends connected to local churches and holy places (the oldest of them stemming from the 17th and 18th century), some are quite recent individual memorates. Although Biliánová' s Prague legends were collected mainly for support of Czech...
