Futurism and Fascism according to F. T. Marinetti (1909-1920)
Hořejší, Michal ; Kopeček Šustrová, Radka (advisor) ; Rákosník, Jakub (referee)
This bachelor's thesis deals with the political manifestos of Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, founder of the futurist movement, and how they relate to his later Manifesto of Fascism. In the first part, futurism is introduced as a palingenetic movement with a developing vision of social reform, which adopted aspects of the most influential ideologies of contemporary Italy while maintaining its own specific nuances and considering the country's particularities. All of which is represented in the manifestos. The instruments, through which the transformation of society was to be realized, are described in the second part. They are modern technologies and war. Key words: Marinetti, Futurism, Fascism, palingenetic myth, manifesto, modernity, Italy

Ukrainian Community in Prague and Central Bohemia after 1991
Trávníčková, Klára ; Kopeček Šustrová, Radka (advisor) ; Spurný, Matěj (referee)
The bachelor thesis focuses on the formation and organisation of community life, non-institutional activities, and identity of the Ukrainian minority in Prague and Central Bohemia from the 1990s (1991) to 2004. The start of the chosen time period is defined by the emergence of an independent Ukrainian state and the associated freedom to travel to other European countries for work due to the collapse of the Soviet Union. On its other end stands the Orange Revolution - the first major polarising political conflict of the Ukrainian Republic, which may also have impacted the community in the Czech Republic and its activities. The author aims to apply the methodology of transnational migration and diaspora studies to the selected source base (mainly from the production of associations of the Ukrainian national minority in the Czech Republic). The central part of the thesis entails a detailed analysis of two distinctive outputs of the compatriot associations - the magazine Porohy and the documentary film Easy Answer - and the labelling of its transnational and/or diasporic aspects. The thesis also provides insight into the journey taken by the Ukrainian national minority in the Czech Republic from the fall of state socialism to 2004.

Sadism and masochism in medicalization and culture during the last third of the long 19th century in the Czech and European context
Finsterschott, Theo ; Spurný, Matěj (advisor) ; Kopeček Šustrová, Radka (referee)
The primary focus of the thesis "Sadism and Masochism in Medicalization and Culture During the Last Third of the Long 19th Century in the Czech and European Context" is, firstly, to examine the distinctive notions of sadism and masochism in the works of Austro-German psychiatrist Richard von Krafft-Ebing (1840-1903); secondly, to analyze how these two perversions came into being and took shape in the field of medicine, in literature and in society itself; and, thirdly, to explore how these concepts were then received and reinterpreted - namely in the study "Culilinctus et fellatio" by Czech forensic physician Václav Bělehradský (1844- 1896), which appeared in the Časopis lékařů českých journal and where the concepts of neronism and encolpism, counterparts to sadism and masochism, were first introduced. The thesis further explores the continuities and, more importantly, the discontinuities in sadism and masochism, starting with concepts prior to Krafft-Ebing's distinctions, focusing on their genesis as complementary perversions, and ending with their significance for the 20th century and the present day. The text is devised as an analysis of the position of erotic desire and practice, namely in their role as primary constituents of sadism, masochism and other related concepts; it is endogenous desire,...
