100 years since the foundation of Czechoslovakia: Anniversary year 2018 in the main evening news program of Czech Television
Rybáčková, Nikola ; Bednařík, Petr (advisor) ; Köpplová, Barbara (referee)
This master's thesis focuses on how the Czech Television covered the one hundredth anniversary of the founding of Czechoslovakia in its main evening news program. It was an important theme of the whole year 2018, it wasn't the only anniversary we commemorated in that year, though. In 2018, eighty years have passed since the signing of the Munich Agreement in 1938 and seventy years since the 1948 Czechoslovak coup d'état. It's also been fifty years since the Prague Spring and the Warsaw Pact invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968. Last but not least, we celebrated twenty-five years since the founding of the Czech Republic in 1993. All these events are significant milestones in Czech and world history of the twentieth century. Therefore, the thesis analyzes to what extent Czech Television dealt with these events. The aim of the thesis is to get an insight into the coverage of this topic throughout the year 2018 and to find out how much space was provided for each anniversary and what the nature of the posts was.

Neuman, Michal ; Suk, Pavel (advisor) ; Končelík, Jakub (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with the historically extremely significant event of the entry of the Warsaw Pact troops into Czechoslovakia in August 1968 and its subsequent occupation. It focuses on contemporary press with both daily and weekly periodicity and attempts to point out, what are the main themes in connection with the occupation which the allied forces engaged in. For this work, the analyzed period was defined as the time between the August 14 and September 21. The examined periodicals are Rudé právo, Práce, Svobodné slovo, and Mladá fronta, as those were the most read journals of the time. The journal Zprávy serves as a complementary journal, which was a propaganda instrument of the Soviet Union. The magazines Květy, Signál and Mladý svět were also chosen because of their edition. The crucial part of the work is the analysis of selected periodicals, in which I`ve pointed out the most important articles, which have been published in connection with the intervention and subsequent occupation. The work also focuses on the reintroduction and the establishment of a censorship institution at the end of August, which greatly affected the medial publications. An important part of the work is also the comparison of individual periodicals in various aspects, such as overall awareness of the...

Student protests in 1968: Comparison of Czechoslovakia and West Germany
Šutová, Marijana ; Šafařík, Petr (advisor) ; Cuhra, Jaroslav (referee)
The thesis is based on comparison of the student protest movement of 1968 in Czechoslovakia and West Germany. The main aim of the thesis is to compare the same and different elements of two student movements with emphasis on students' demands, the way and means of their revolts and the different ideological approaches of the two movements which led to their mutual misunderstanding. The author describes movements in both countries preceding historical events which lead to the protests. The thesis also deals with student protests in other countries in the context of events in West Germany and Czechoslovakia. It then compares the course, demands and the way of student protests in both countries. The main difference between student movements in Czechoslovakia and West Germany was the way of revolt. While Czechoslovak students chose the official way to change the establishment, the protest movement in Germany was rather anti-systemic. Students in both states also came out of different conditions while students in the CSSR protested against a material shortage, resistance in Germany was based on criticism of material surplus. In both countries, however, the same phenomenon of generational conflict occurred. Both movements responded to the international events and protest movements in other countries....

Cultural Trauma of the Invasion in 1968 in Broadcasting of Czech Television in the Years 1990-2015
Chudomelová, Lenka ; Mlynář, Jakub (advisor) ; Šubrt, Jiří (referee)
(in English) The bachelor thesis examines the concept of cultural trauma in relation to the invasion of armies of the Warsaw Pact to Czechoslovakia in August 1968. It is focused on the commemoration broadcasting of the Czech television in 1990-2015. A frame analysis was used and ten issue-specific frames were found. Half of the frames had features of cultural trauma and the traumatic frames were articulated more often than the non-traumatic ones. The negotiation of interpretation of the event took place in three phases since 1990: in the first phase the August 1968 is used as an instrument for emphasizing of a distance between the old and new regimes and for national unification against the old socialist regime. In the second phase the universal importance of the Prague Spring and its violent ending was suppressed and the feeling of overcoming was dominant. In the third phase the event became significant again and the events of the August 1969 were separated from the narrative as specific and also traumatic. The events of the August 1968 were used as parallels to various current problems (wars, relations to world powers and also internal political situations) and it seems that the August 1968 is one of the important cultural points of reference.

Ladislav Helge: Caught between film and politics
Rousek, Jan ; Kopeček, Michal (advisor) ; Koura, Petr (referee)
The aim of the thesis is to map political activities of Ladislav Helge, a film director. Due to his social sensitivity and sympathies for the Red army as a liberator of Czechoslovkaia, he favored left-wing politics. At the beginning of his career he was not involved in politics and instead immersed himself fully in his profession of a film director. His first initiation to the world of politics came with the shooting of Frona. This film represents a turning point in both his artistic and political activities. Gradual de-Stalinization across the 1950s happened alongside Helge's first independent film project and his deliberate joining of KSC. The political intervention of the communist party into the liberal functioning of Czechoslovak film during the Banska Bystrica film festival determined his political activism that was to follow. In the mid 1960s Helge, as a leader of a professional film organization FITES, stood up to the attempts of the communist functionaries to curtail the artistic freedom of filmmakers belonging to the New Wave movement. Between 1968 and 1969 he led the Coordinating committee of creative associations and defended the freedoms gained during the Prague Spring. Soon after, his employment at Barrandov studios was terminated. In 1977 he signed the Anti-Charter. The last chapter...
