Bavarian Identity at the example of the Octoberfest in Munich: To what extent is the modern festival still traditional bavarian?
Kuldová, Susanna ; Emler, David (advisor) ; Zelená, Alena (referee)
The Munich Oktoberfest was established in 1810 as an instrument for strengthening the Bavarian identity in the new developed monarchy. In the 1950s it has evolved into an international event which is being visited by millions of people from all around the world. This development lead to negative opinions about the present purpose of the Oktoberfest. The aim of the thesis is to confirm or refute these critics which deny any connection between the past and the present form of the Munich festival. The introduction deals with the theoretical background and terms such as remembrance or festivals and celebration. A substantial part of the work consists in the discourse analysis of the Bavarian identity with its main symbols which are closely linked to the celebration of the Oktoberfest in Munich. The main part is devoted to the Oktoberfest itself, its origins and development with the most important moments and main features. The research is completed by a quantitative analysis of facts and numbers which are essential for this subject.

Rafael Kubelík's aesthetic preferences in the light of the Munich sources
Kraftová, Nikol ; Ottlová, Marta (advisor) ; Gabrielová, Jarmila (referee)
This dissertation deals with the aesthetic opinions of conductor Rafael Kubelík as evidenced in the materials available in archives and cultural institutions in Munich as well as in the recollections of Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra members from the time of Kubelík's direction of that ensemble. The study includes an overview with commentary of the repertoire performed by Kubelík in subscription concerts by the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra, which along with Kubelík's comments and in comparison with the programme of other guest conductors indicates Kubelík's programming activities and probably his musical preferences. This study also discusses Kubelík's interest in opera and his ideas on its staging and production. Other chapters deal with Kubelík's qualities as a conductor and the specific demands he made on his performers. It also includes a curriculum vitae of Rafael Kubelík and a number of recollections by people who knew him, all of which serve to fill out the overall picture of Kubelík's personality.

Jáč, Marek ; Calda, Miloš (advisor) ; Smetana, Vít (referee)
This Master thesis, U.S. and the Czechoslovak Crisis in 1938: Policy of Appeasement?, examines the policy of the United States in 1938 during the dispute between Czechoslovakia and Nazi Germany over the Sudeten German issue. This paper is a case study and it analyzes a diplomatic correspondence and public statements of key representatives of U.S. foreign policy in the period March to October 1938. The goal of the paper is to evaluate the U.S. policy towards the Czechoslovak crisis and to consider whether or not the U.S. policy could be labeled as a policy of appeasement. There are four chapters. The first chapter recapitulates U.S. foreign policy before 1938, briefly describes issues of appeasement and describes the Czechoslovak-U.S. relations before 1938. The second chapter deals with U.S. policy during the so-called May crisis. The third chapter focuses on U.S. policy during the Munich Conference. The fourth chapter analyzes attitudes and actions of U.S. representatives in the time of the Munich Conference.
