Špitálníková, Nina ; Löwensteinová, Miriam (advisor) ; Zemánek, Marek (referee)
The Democratic People's Republic of Korea is amongst the totalitarian countries, where the word is regarded as an ideological weapon. Since its early days, North Korean propaganda was essential in establishing and legitimizing the cult of personality of the DPRK founder Kim Il-sung, spreading the Juche ideology, and later the cult of personality of Kim Jong-Il. The first chapter of this thesis examines the characteristics of the Juche Idea, Kim Il-Sung's cult of personality and describes the main themes and methods used by the state propaganda machine. The Second chapter deals with the impact of propaganda on North Korean literature. The aim of the third chapter is to analyze mass media as the most important tool of the North Korean propaganda. In this thesis I mainly focused on the personality of Kim Il-Sung in the period from the 1950's to the 1980's. There are examples amended to each chapter, which illustrate the main propaganda stages. Attention is paid also to the organizational structure of the WPK and other organizations.

System of slavery in traditional Korea
Rybáriková, Martina ; Glomb, Vladimír (advisor) ; Löwensteinová, Miriam (referee)
The main aim of this thesis is to provide a comprehensive account of the development of the institution of slavery in Korea. Slavery was a part of Korean society from its earliest times, and the evidence of this can be found in the penal code of eight provisions enacted by the mythical emperor Kidža, where he for the first time mentioned slavery as a punishment for theft. From this time on it was ceaselessly present in Korean society until its abolition in 1894. The oldest form of slavery as a punishment was gradually supplemented with other ways of how a person could fall into slavery. Individual slavery gradually evolved into hereditary slavery. Despite the fact that slavery was ceaselessly present in Korean society, the character and even the existence of it are still called into question in academic discussions. In the introductory part of my thesis I focused on the very essence of slavery. Afterwards, I gave a brief overview of the characteristics of three typical slave societies i.e. ancient Greece, ancient Rome and the United States of America. Studying the important characteristics of slavery in other slave societies provided the base for a detailed analysis of the connections with the Korean type of slavery. Some of this information confirms the hypothesis that slavery in Korea was...
