The Christian missionary movement in China, 1860-1900
Sakmárová, Dominika ; Liščák, Vladimír (advisor) ; Klimeš, Ondřej (referee)
The objective of this Bachelor's thesis is to describe the activities of Christian missionaries in China during the second half of 19. century. Most attention is being drawn to Protestant missions, which are more relevant due to the absence of hierarchy in Protestant churches, unlike in other branches of Christianity. However, Catholic and Eastern Orthodox missions are also briefly mentioned. The main point of the thesis is to describe history of Christian missions in China leading to the situation which arose in the second part of 19. century, causing a variety of different approaches to the problem of evangelization of Chinese people. The thesis describes various ways how the missions were practised and what kind of reactions amongst Chinese people they induced. On the other side, the point of view of Chinese Christians is mentioned, with the side effects that arose due to the presence of foreign missionaries. This leads to the explanation of how the Christian teachings were adjusted to the Chinese culture, and what were the consequences of cultural differences between missionaries and Chinese. The thesis is divided into two main parts, the first, theoretical part is concerned with history of evangelization in China and explaining specific cultural differences causing the evangelization process to be very...

Awakened land: Uyghur ideas of nation and nationalism, 1889-1949
Klimeš, Ondřej ; Lomová, Olga (advisor) ; Newby, Laura (referee) ; Malečková, Jitka (referee)
The dissertation examines evolution of intellectual ideas of nation and nationalism of Uyghurs, a Turkic nation inhabiting today's Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region in northwestern China, throughout the period from 1880s to 1949. Primary sources of the research are texts written by Uyghur intellectuals throughout the period, in particular historiography works, poems, journalistic articles, memoires, political essays and propaganda pamphlets. Most of the sources have not been previously researched, the dissertation therefore presents new information and conclusions. The perceptions of nation and nationalism in the sources are also juxtaposed to several general authoritative approaches to nation-formation processes, such as those of Benedict Anderson, Ernst Gellner, Anthony Smith, Miroslav Hroch and John Breuilly. Based primarily on the criteria of historical chronology and content of the respective sources, the dissertation is structured into four empirical chapters. The first chapter examines perceptions of communal identity in late imperial period and illustrates that although at this stage Xinjiang Turkic intellectuals perceived their community as a clearly defined group, its communal interest did not outweigh interests of numerous local and social sub-groups. The second chapter outlines the transfer of...

In search of illegible body. The body as means of understanding literature
Klimeš, Ondřej ; Vojvodík, Josef (referee) ; Heczková, Libuše (advisor)
The work discusses the relation between the body and literature. Interpreting selected works of 19th and 20th centuries, it both explores and refines the presumption of the body presenting for literature not merely a theme or a motif, but, and in some cases primarily, a problem of writing. The body, also, as a shifting, culturally and historically determined concept yields to the same legibility as the language by which it is described. When interpreting works that embrace peripheral, inhuman bodies surpassing the established concepts, these are not - as various symptoms of illegibility - dismissed as failures: they are rather understood as the key stylization writing strategies, motivated by the endeavor to draw nearer to the body, description of which surpasses the language structure of the period. The vanishing point of the survey is thus neither a compact interpretation of the works, nor their contextualization in the literary or cultural history of the body, but rather the body as an inexplicable image that drives the language to the frontier of intelligibility, and beyond. Such approach focuses not on the literary work as semantically and formally compact unit, but rather on writing as a movement that passes through the work. The question is asked, then, whether this movement - while leaving...
