The present doctoral thesis focuses on a literal phenomenon, which is still difficult to outline and classify - the so-called second-rate literature - in the context of historical and cultural developments in the Czech lands. The accent is put primarily on the so-called mass entertaining (bedside) literature for men, which was and, to a certain degree, still is represented by such adventure paperback serials (Western pulp fiction) as Rodokaps, Dodokaps, Rozruch G. F. Unger, etc. In the introductory chapter of this thesis, the author attempts to define this kind of literature terminologically, confronting his considerations with the views presented by classical literary critics - primarily the writer, journalist, playwright and essayist Karel Čapek and the literary historian Josef Hrabák. Detailed attention is paid to the historical predecessors of the mass literature in four subsequent chapters: travel books, chronicles, broadside ballads and folk reading, and adventure stories. The author gives detailed description of their respective historical developments, highlighting the features in each of them that boosted the mass growth of men's reading. The chapters devoted to a specifically Czech phenomenon - the existence of inter-war adventure paperback serials, the so-called Western pulp fiction (e.g....

The illegitimated children in the Czech lands in 18th and 19th century
Bayerová, Vanda ; Sochorová, Ludmila (advisor) ; Štěpánová, Irena (referee)
Moje diplomová práce nebyla založena na dlouhodobějším a rozsáhlém výzkumu, přesto si dovolím zhodnotit stav zkoumaného tématu. První část mé práce spočívala ve vyhledávání pramenů a literatury k nastolenému jevu ve snaze tyto poznatky konfrontovat. Existuje dostatek dílčích prací, ale zatím neexistuje souborné pojednání, které by mohlo být přehledem vývoje postavení svobodných matek a nemanželských dětí v novověku na našem území. Studium postavení svobodných matek a jejich dětí je přitom pro dnešní dobu velmi atraktivní v důsledku zvýšení zájmu o "historii každodenního života", "gender" problematiku a "historii dítěte", jejichž rozvoj se ve středoevropském prostoru odstartoval po roce 1989 ve snaze dohnat západní trend posledních desetiletí. Prameny a literatura by se daly rozdělit do několika skupin. V první skupině mohou být ty, kde by nějaké informace mohly být, ale nejsou, např. lékařské knihy nebo některé etnografické monografie. Z toho by se dalo při rychlém a povrchním soudu vyvodit, že se zkoumané jevy vyskytovaly v tak malé míře, že ani nestály autorům za zmínku. Další skupina informací pochází z pramenů, které např. antikoncepci a aborty připouštějí, ale ve velmi omezené míře, postoj např. některých etnografických prací. Poslední skupina vypovídá o takřka neuvěřitelném rozšíření všeho výše...
