Edvard Beneš and Wenzel Jaksch. Reasons of unsuccessful cooperation
Romočuský, Martin Štěpán ; Smetana, Vít (advisor) ; Raška, Francis (referee)
In my bachelor thesis I focus on joint negotiations of Edvard Beneš as a representative of the Czechoslovak exile and Wenzel Jaksch as a representative of the Sudeten German exile. Since 1939, both politicians lived in exile in London and led talks on the post-war solution of the Sudeten German issue and the arrangements of the Sudetenland in Czechoslovakia and within Central Europe. At the beginning of the exile, both Beneš and Jaksch were willing to discuss a joint collaboration and their political actions, although their different ideas and visions were apparent right from the beginning and sometimes even collided. Yet, there was a good chance to create a compromise solution. The ongoing war, rising anti-German sentiment in the Protectorate and UK and also strengthening of Beneš's position, the agreement started to become increasingly unlikely and Jaksch started to lose his political influence on developments in the exile inevitably and thus on the future postwar politics.

The topic of German's transfer in German novels in contrast with the Czech literature
Škubalová, Marta ; Petrbok, Václav (advisor) ; Zbytovský, Štěpán (referee)
English This study concerns the German language literary works in which the transfer of Germans from Czechoslovakia is the central theme with further comparison to Czech works. It centers on an analysis of the descriptive perspective of Gérard Genette and the question if the characters are portrayed stereotypically. As in the Czech, the German works exhibit a deviation from historical events and a similar tendency toward changes in the descriptive perspective from an external to internal focus. Most often, the German characters appear as involuntary heroes, not as Nazis. The fate of women and children is portrayed in a similar way - as victims of violence. However, in German works the ethnic background of the character plays no role.
