Bohumír Prokůpek
Šimánek, Jan ; Musilová, Helena (advisor) ; Silverio, Robert (referee)
Whilst Bohumir Prokupek's body of work is still awaiting its thorough
assesment, an aim to examine and give idea of his life journeys is a subjectmatter
of this work. Ideally the work is, in its form, supposed to contain both
experimental research and a search for lost time, connecting facts, bare and
earthy language and something of Proust's art: to make remebering of someone
we loved a gentle stream, to ensure that reader connects memories in pictures
and scents of his own imagination. Hence this work is not divided into chapters.
Time line of separate stories is rather respected here, in details a literary filter
is given precedence. Events are therefore presented as they came with their
testimonies, at times repeated intentionally. Personal point of view of the
photographic work offers some personal detachment in the Conclusion,
substatiation of this approach is then stated in the Introduction.

Natural thinking and its influence on the contemporary Czech art
Šimánek, Jan ; Prokůpek, Bohumír (advisor) ; Czumalo, Vladimír (referee)
Natural thinking and its influence on the contemporary Czech art
The idea of natural thinking is connected with different areas of human activity. The places like Philosophy, Sociology, Science, Art are the few where this attribute would be appropriate. The meaning depends broadly on subjective choice that is determined by the intended context.
To decide the amount of influence of natural thinking I began to explore the influence itself to show its art and mental expression beginning with Romanticism. From my point of view it is important to start here because the heritage of Romanticism is still alive in the Czech environment.
In other chapters I mention some non-art relations that specify context. Than I continue with the analysis of main art expressions from the sixties till nowadays.

Country parishes in Doudleby and Kamenný Újezd in the time of baroque
ŠIMÁNEK, Jan
The dissertation describes on the example of two adjoining parishes in the South Bohemia ? Doudleby and Kamenný Újezd ? everyday life of a country parish in the second half of the 17th and the first half of the 18th century. Thanks to a detailed analysis of many sources issued by church as well as patrimonial administration it was possible to reconstruct a plastic view of people?s life in the microcosm of both researched parishes. Besides the preface, conclusion, list of sources and literature, the list of abbreviations and the supplements the text is divided into four main parts. The first part is based on scientific literature. The author concerns with the parish organization, its importance and changes in the mid-17th century. The second part, entitled Man in the Parish is the most extensive. It describes the position of various subjects interacting in the parishes ? a vicar, a patron of the church and his clerks, a sacristan and a schoolteacher. Also the social conditions of the parishioner are not set aside. In the subchapter entitled Reputable People the author reveals the most frequent godfathers, marriage marshals and godfather relationships among the parishioner. The last subchapter of the second part contains the analysis of several interesting conflicts in the surveyed parishes. The title of the third part sounds Churches and Clergyman?s Houses ? Economy and Material Culture. First, the author researches the economy of both churches and vicars? material provision. Then, especially on the basis of preserved inventories, he aims a reconstruction of the appearance and the equipment of the churches, clergyman?s houses and households of chosen vicars. The first part, named Spiritual Life is particularly concerned on the parish in Doudleby. The author interests in the year?s cycle of church celebrations and fairs, baptizing and marrying rituals, work of local religious confraternity and other piety exposures. This part addicted to spiritual life is concluded by a comparison with the situation in the adjoining parish in Kamenný Újezd.
