Vágnerová, Vendula ; Zilynskyj, Bohdan (advisor) ; Svoboda, Karel (referee)
This thesis deals with the Ukrainian minority associations in Prague from 2001 to 2013. The Ukrainian minority in our country has a long tradition, although the nature of its activity is influenced by different waves of migration and socio-political changes since the early 20th century to the present. After a long period of repression, national minorities activity was restored in 1990, when official registration of minority civic associations was granted. The first of these were established by the Ukrainians from the earlier migration waves or by their descendants, while the new associations registered after 2001 were usually created in connection with the significant increase of Ukrainian migrants, coming to the Czech Republic since the 90s, and caused by the diversification of the Ukrainian minority. The thesis therefore presents a report on the Ukrainian organizations in Prague in the period from 2001 until 2013, reflecting their development, differences, and introducing the specific activities as a means to achieving the goals of associations and needs of their members. At the same time, this work highlights several elements that associate the social activity of the Ukrainian minority. At the same time, the purpose of the introduction of the Ukrainian diaspora in Prague is to offer a better...

The Phenomenon of Ostalgie in the New German Federal States
Vágnerová, Vendula ; Šafařík, Petr (advisor) ; Handl, Vladimír (referee)
This thesis deals with the phenomenon of ostalgie in the new federal states of FRG. This is a specific form of nostalgia for everyday life in the GDR, which became a basis for a retro style, later expanded into many areas of everyday life in Germany. To understand this nostalgia it is necessary to take it into context with the issues that the residents of the new federal states in Germany had to face. Ostalgie was a result of disappointment with the situation in early 90's, and therefore this paper firstly discusses the troubled process of German reunification. The central point of interest of this thesis are the different forms of ostalgie: so-called Ostalgie-Partys, the return of old East German products, Ostalgie on the Internet, its role in German film, so-called Ostalgie-Shows and another forms. The aim is to show that Ostalgie focuses on the culture and the everyday life of the GDR, and does not desire to return its regime. The work also points out the problem of differences between East and West Germans and depicts Ostalgie as a phenomenon that could be a support to German unification, rather than an obstruction.
