Society for Old Prague and Circumstances Leading to its Creation (1893-1900)
Svojsíková, Tereza ; Pokorný, Jiří (advisor) ; Vlnas, Vít (referee)
The point of my bachelor thesis "The Society for Old Prague and Circumstances Leading to its Creation (1893-1900)" was to describe an atmosphere in which an idea of a protection of cultural heritage had been formed as well as the most important moments that afterwards lead to the creation of "The Society for Old Prague". 28th January 1900 was the date of The Society's foundation and this date also closes my thesis. Interest in the protection of cultural heritage was awakened by building developments in the centre of Prague in the late 19th century. A new rule governing an urban renewal had been issued in order to improve living conditions in the centre of the city, both in the former Jewish Town, Josefov, and in the nearby parts of the Old Town. The disappearance of some buildings greatly disturbed those who loved Old Prague and because of that a cultural heritage protection movement was formalised.

Development Havlíčekian Festivities and Commemoration
Svojsíková, Tereza ; Sekera, Martin (advisor) ; Kraus, Jiří (referee)
The thesis based on contemporary press identifies how the newspaper wrote about Karel Havlíček Borovský during the anniversaries of his birth and his death and whether it wrote about him at all. Thereby, traces the development of the myth of Karel Havlíček and the role which the press has played in this process. The paper focuses on Karel Havlíček's attributes which were used in the articles to describe his personality. It also shows different types of festivities commemorating the anniversaries. In the analysis selected Czech written press from the period from 1866 until 2011 was used. Before the research is introduced, chapters presenting some of academic and scholarly books as well as non-fictional ones describing Havlíček or selected aspects of his work (e.g. linguistic); editions of the letters of his and some editions of his work are mentioned. Following chapters deal with the issue of myth and cult of Karel Havlíček and with the issue of festivities/celebration seen from the perspective of several historians.
