Georgieva Ivanova, Sylvia ; Hasil, Jiří (advisor) ; Ivanovová, Darina (referee)
- English The Bulgarian trace in the life of Božena Němcová The relation of Božena Němcová to Bulgaria, the Bulgarian culture, the life and struggle of the Bulgarians in the late fifties and early sixties of the 19th century is one of the most important chapters of the Czech-Bulgarian cultural relations of the past. Unfortunately, it remains a matter almost unknown even to expert philologists. To get a better understanding of the relationship between B. Němcová and Bulgaria, we need to examine it in its close relation with her attitude towards other Slavic nations as part of the then predominating vision of the Slavic unity (the Pan-Slavic idea). The following text provides an analysis of her position regarding the quite complicated situation on the Balkans at that time, as well as her contacts with Bulgarians in Prague. Due to these acquaintances with writers or just texts written by certain Bulgarian (or Balkan in general) writers, she even started learning Bulgarian. There exist some of her translations of Bulgarian texts into Czech and even texts written in Bulgarian.

Amateur theatre in the public space of Czech small town in the time of second half of 19th and first half of the 20th century. Shaping, working and social background of theatre associations in Mšeno and Mnichovo Hradiště in a comparative perspective
Zabilanská, Petra ; Kubů, Eduard (advisor) ; Jančík, Drahomír (referee)
This thesis focuses on how amateur drama groups in provincial towns were formed and how they operated. The time period under consideration is the second half of the 19th century and the first half of the 20th century. The theatre groups examined are from two towns; Mšeno and Mnichovo Hradiště. The position of these groups is traced in relation to the development of culture, economy and politics within Czech society. The author analyses the social makeup of such groups and its audiences. After examining the productions the groups had for individual seasons, the ways in which these productions have changed are examined, as well as what responses they received. The drama groups are looked upon as being part of public space. Most of the attention is focused upon the history of the group "Mácha a Tyl", beginning with its early activities, moving on to its development in the 19th and 20th century, and looking at the manner in which its amateur work, its repertoire and the buildings are used. In closing, this thesis demonstrates that the activities of these amateur drama groups were not only concerned with acting. An integral function of theatre was also to be a medium, to instruct and educate fellow citizens, and to function as a charitable organisation.

Kyzlinková, Marcela ; Stará, Jana (advisor) ; Uhlířová, Jana (referee)
The key aim of this work is a method of patriotic education in our schools, mainly in the first grade of primary schools. The point of this work is to awaken patriotism in society again. In the first step we are informed about the important ideas that enable to develope the assumptions neccesary for the patriotic recognition and for an increase in patriotic feeling. The theory pays the attention to morality, influencing behaviour; for example, material and physical values and the aesthetic. It describes each historical term individually, from the beginning of national recovery during the first half of 19th century to the present days. It underlines the need to understand correctly the individual ideas and it points out the general chaos and risks of their interpretations in society. It recognises the important tasks that our society has to face to maintain the education of patriotism succesfully. The practical aspect contains the class discussions, interwiews and analysis of individual pupils, teachers, directors and it compares the level and quality of class debats with teacher`s attitude. The main thing was to find out the teachers' personal feeling about patriotism, his or her attitude towards its education and the way he or she communicates this during the lessons.
