Votrubová, Yvona ; Gelnarová, Jitka (advisor) ; Kobová, Ĺubica (referee)
The diploma thesis is focused on the concept of the "New Woman" in the first Czechoslovak Republic (1918-1938). The "New Woman" is understood as a discursive construct acquiring various meanings. In this work, I reveal wide range of these meanings and identify images of the "New Woman", which indicate what was hidden under this concept. The aim of the thesis is to find an answer to the question of what contents the concept was acquiring at a given time. To achieve this goal, I use critical discourse analysis to analyze materials (books, periodicals) from the era of the first Czechoslovak Republic. I also place the topic of the "New Woman" in the necessary context, which focuses on the legal and social status of women in the first Czechoslovak Republic and the origin of the concept and its elaboration by western authors. Key words: the "new woman", history, the first Czechoslovak republic, discourse, critical discourse analysis

TALÍŘ, František
The aim of this diploma thesis is to expound the reality of the first Czechoslovak Republic through the foreign point of view, more precisely through the Vatican daily newspaper L´Osservatore Romano. Since the reality is immensely complex, individual chapters deal with topics of overall political development´s reflection, the personality of the first Czechoslovak president Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk and the situation of Catholic Church in the country from the perspective of Vatican press. Due to the influence of reporters´ Catholic orientation, the author used other journals and documents to achieve higher levels of the opinion plurality in the particular questions. For this purpose, he worked in his thesis with other Czech and Italian newspapers, pastoral letters which were written by Czechoslovak bishops, memories of contemporary events´ actors or different interviews and speeches of important political figures at the time. In the analysis, there is an attempt to answer the question of how the Holy See´s official periodical informed of the events in interwar Czechoslovakia.

Československý stranický systém mezi roky 1918 až 1938 pohledem teorie konfliktních linií
STAREC, Jan
This bachelor thesis focuses on the application of the concept of cleavages to the party system of the First Czechoslovak Republic. The concept of cleavages is a political instrument that allows us to examine the formation and functioning of political parties and party systems. The authorship is attributed to Norwegian political scientist Stein Rokkan, who co-operated with American sociologist Seymour Martin Lipset. Together, they published the book "Party Systems and Voter Alignments: Cross-national Perspectives" in 1967, where they outlined how political parties were formed during the 19th and the early 20th century. The bachelor thesis is divided into four chapters. The first chapter is devoted to the phenomenon of political parties. The second chapter is devoted to the theory of cleavages, but also to other Rokkan's theoretical concepts. In the third chapter, the author presents the history of political and party systems before and after 1918. The last chapter deals with the application of the theory of cleavages to the party system of the First Czechoslovak Republic.
