Vostřel, Martin ; Štěpánová, Irena (advisor) ; Petráňová, Lydie (referee) ; Drápala, Daniel (referee)
The objective of my work is to describe associational life in the town of Louny since 1861 to 1914. The years correspond with the year of "October Diploma" issue (1861), resp. the outbreak of World War I. (1914). In the first passages I tried to show the development of the town in the second half of the 19th century and at the beginning of the 20th century from the urbanistic, demographical, industrial and political point of view. All these aspects influenced the associational life there. After the outline of the development of the associational life within the monarchy I aimed at it in Louny. I introduced various types of active notable local personalities in the profiles of Josef Havránek, the representative of the beginning of associational life; long-standing mayor Dr. Petr Hilbert, the owner of the local spa Josef Krýzl and extraordinary socially active woman Mrs Kristýna Ehrlichová. Then I aimed at associational activities in the town.

Associational life in Louny was influenced by its geographical position, at the Czech-German linguistic border. The town became the hub of...

Mušinková, Michaela ; Janeček, Petr (advisor) ; Štěpánová, Irena (referee)
This study is concerned with constructing the folk traditions by means of the activities of the folk groups whilst paying attention to continuous, interrupted and invented traditions. It is dealing with terms folk, folklorism and interaction between them while focusing on the activity of a folk group (= folklorism), which repertoire is based on folk origins, and its influence on preservation and development of folk. The starting point of the study is a hypothesis, which tells us that a folk group helps to revitalize traditions. From methodological point of view, the study is based on field research. The research was conducted in two Ruthenian villages in the northeast Slovakia; in one of them operates a folk group. The main goal of the work is confirmation or disproval of the hypothesis using an example of a tradition - wedding ceremony. By detailed analysis, I am looking for analogical and differential elements between the individual weddings in one locality while paying attention to the change of wedding in time (comparison of current weddings from the recordings with traditional Ruthenian wedding described in literature by folklorists) and comparing this ceremony in both localities. The study is also trying to determine to what extent is a group/absence of a group affecting the individual...
