Veverková, Andrea ; Sekyrková, Milada (advisor) ; Ratajová, Jana (referee)
Charles university, as the first czech university, had and still has its important place in society. Its history is as rich as history of Czech lands, which it in its way reflects. One of the turning moments was surely the Second World War, which hit hard the whole spectrum of society at that time. This thesis is looking at this period through the optics of diplomatics and it is trying to introduce topic of the day-to-day official agenda of the university and its faculties. This institution of higher education could not function without the office system in the background, since it provided administrative support for the framework of its activities. The administrative work of university officials consisted primarily of the production of records, especially official correspondence, as well as protocols of meetings or the issue of documents governing the course of the university. Its aim is primarily to find out to what extent this clerical life at the university background has survived the period after 17th of November 1939, when the schools in Bohemia and Moravia were closed by Nazi occupiers.

Discourses of piety and gender in Czech early modern treatises on marriage, widowhood and virginity
Nováková, Petra ; Storchová, Lucie (advisor) ; Ratajová, Jana (referee)
In my thesis I deal with definition, thematization and legitimation of piety in prescriptive texts from early modern that treatise on marriage, virginity and widowhood. In the writings of the 16th and 17th century imagination of genders isn't limited to the binary gender model male- female, but it appears more qualitatively uneven genders. I analyze how thematization and legitimize the piety differed between these genders. Each gender is associated with a normative given set of virtues that characterize the "good" gender. Another research question is how the conception of piety differed on the time axis, ie between the writings of the 16th and 17th century, on the one hand and the texts of the second part of 18th century, on the other hand. In this later period plurality of genders was replaced by notion of two genders.

Masculinity and feminity in early modern czech literature
Ratajová, Jana ; Hojda, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Horský, Jan (referee) ; Himl, Pavel (referee)
This doctoral thesis aims to analyse the gender categories of male and female in a historical perspective, focusing in particular on the following issues: 1. whether and to what extent these categories were defined in the early modern period (the construction of gender in the early modern texts, the contemporary gender norms and the theory of gender); 2. how the particular genders interrelate, whether and how the binary opposition between masculinity and feminity was being defined in that historical period.
