Title: Trade Union Recreations in Czechoslovakia in the 50s and 60s of the 20th Century Annotation: The thesis analyses organization, course, and other aspects of trade union "recreation", important and favorite way of holiday spending in former Czechoslovakia. It is a contribution to the research of a leisure time phenomenon. Based primarily on so far unexploited archival sources it observes development of leisure activities and recreation stays organized by the Revolutionary Trade Union Movement between 1948 and 1968. It focuses both on recreation of adults and young pioneers' summer camps. It deals with artistic representation of daily life at trade union recreations in movies and fiction literature, among others.

English abstract The use of propaganda and methods of governing and regulation of the regional press in Czechoslovakia during 1948-1956 (using the example of the guidelines of KV and OV KSČ and the region around Liberec) The presented study follows the development of censorship and the methods of media and press control in Czechoslovakia from 1948 to1953, and in particular during 1956. This study focuses mainly on the methods and processes used by the Czechoslovak Communist Party to dominate the media and how it concentrated namely on the relationship between local and regional media and the centralized governance under the powerful influence of the Czechoslovak Communist Party. After February of 1948, the mass media in Czechoslovakia took on a different role than the one it had up until that time. Even so, up until 1953, there was no official censorship office and the media fell under the jurisdiction of the Party apparatus, or alternately under the Ministries of Education, Science and Arts or Information, which accordingly managed and influenced media content. However, it was still under the curatorship of the UV Czechoslovak Communist Party, as the following work will show. As will also be shown, after February of 1948 the Communist Party was unable to gain influence over society at various levels and...

Švec, Štefan ; Köpplová, Barbara (advisor) ; Osvaldová, Barbora (referee) ; Knapík, Jiří (referee)
A History of Czech Children Magazines 1850-1989 Štefan Švec The present thesis describes the evolution of children magazines in the Czech language from the very beginning of their existence around the half of the 19th century to the fall of the com- munist regime in 1989. The time span is divided into five periods. Their boundaries are defined by editorial, economic and ideological changes of magazine publishing. As a result of a century and a half of efforts there exists a unique Czech tradition of magazines for children, with its own specific practice, features and results. The thesis itself consists of three main parts; 1) an introduction discussing theoretical problems of writing a history of magazines, delimitating the material of the history itself and placing it in broader context, 2) a main body examining the five periods of the development of Czech children magazines, their features and main titles, 3) an overview of titles listing all Czech magazines for children with a brief description and publishing data. The text is supplemented by previews of pages from all magazines and by ten short additional materials devoted to a history of children magazines in the world, of Slovak magazines for children, of exile periodicals for children in the Czech language, of children newspaper supplements,...

The literary life of the Second Republic (1938 - 1939)
Pavlíček, Tomáš ; Pokorný, Jiří (advisor) ; Kvaček, Robert (referee) ; Knapík, Jiří (referee)
V jádru jakéhokoli pokusu o souvislejší vědecké zpracování tématu obvykle stojí základní otázka, jež autora podnítila jeho realizaci a jež se většinou rovněž opakovaně jako leitmotiv do práce promítá od její zárodečné podoby finální textové realizaci. Téma naší práce patrně nejvíce určovala otázka po povaze dění v literárním a kulturním sociálním poli během kratičkého, přesto v komplexnějším pohledu zlomového období moderních českých dějin od mnichovské konference po zánik okleštěného česko-slovenského státu na jaře 1939. Ona nejasná a obecná formulace otázky v sobě po detailnější analýze skrývá již konkrétnější a snáze zpracovatelné problémové okruhy, které mohou sloužit jako prvky určující strukturu vlastní práce.

Manipulation with history in historical Otakar Vávra's movies focusing on the trilogy Dny zrady, Sokolovo a Osvobození Prahy
Hodura, Pavel ; Knapík, Jiří (advisor) ; Štoll, Martin (referee)
This thesis deals with the manipulation of history in the historical film trilogy Dny zrady, Sokolovo and Osvobození Prahy, directed by Otakar Vávra. This thesis tries to define, on the basis of a comparation of historiographical works of the communist and modern historiography, the amount of historical distortion presented in these films. The normalization regime endeavoured to revise the historical knowledge of the second half of the 60s and to resume the tendencies of the communist regime of the late 40s and 50s and attempted to create a myth of perception of mordern national history, in which the positive influence of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia in the 30s and 40s was emphasized. Moreover, this myth of the perception of history aimed to discredite figures that were unwanted by the regime and to emphasize friendship with the Soviet Union. Films and tv-series were an appropriate tool to form the perception of history among the people.
