Capital jurisdiction, criminality and everyday life on domain of Náchod and in king's town Nymburk between the years 1513-1618 In this diploma paper I dealt with criminality and everyday life on the early modern domain of Náchod and in the king's town Nymburk between the years 1513-1620. Firstly I tried to describe how the town councils worked and with which central regulations they operated. Secondly I did the statistic quatification of all criminal delicts which are mentioned in "pitch" or "black" books of Náchod and Nymburk and other materials of court provenance. Then I compared court causes from other "pitch"/ "black" books which were published in the past with material from Náchod's and Nymburk's archive. I managed to use modern historical methods such as microhistory and historical anthropology to show which postures took early modern society to different types of criminal delicts or problematic phenomenona like sexual life before marriage, suicide, rape or witchcraft. In connection with this I tried to clear up why were criminal delicts like infanticide or witchcraft punished with such a brutal death penalty. As well as this I attempted to describe in details the fact that punishment was not irreversible. The town council was very open to requests of mercy especially if a priest or a clerk of local...

Margaret Theresa of Spain and her arrival to the Apennine Peninsula in 1666 viewed by a contemporary eyewitness
KŘÍŽ, Ondřej
The presented bachelor thesis deals with the cross-country journey of Margaret Theresa of Spain from Madrid to Vienna in 1666. The work primarily focuses on the reflection of the daily life of Emperor Leopold I's wife during her travel. Together with the baroque performance practice, long-distance journeys represent the integral part of travels of King Philip IV´s younger daughter. The essential of the thesis is built on the archival records of Joseph de Villarroell´s Relacion diaria de la iornada de la Senora Emperatriz: desde que desembarcó en el Final, hastaque salió de Lombardia published in 1667 in Milan. This Margaret Theresa's detailed diary, written in Spanish, had been compiled by one of the independent eyewitnesses and active participants of the above mentioned expedition. The thesis also attempts to conjure a vivid image of Margaret Theresa and Luis de Guzmán Ponce de León, Spanish governor of the Duchy of Milan, in the figurative speech of the above mentioned performances.

Turn to the ordinary in contemporary architectural thinking
Nováková, Martina
The paper seeks to clarify the ambiguous relationship between architecture and ordinariness – more specifically how the architecture has been inspired by the ordinary. The reasoning behind this argument is that there are many European architects in whose work it is possible to find clear and successful tendencies towards the ordinary. These architects are not, however, the first ones to adopt this shift to reality, to ordinariness. The architecture which is explored in this paper is of exceptional quality which typically results from a modern understanding of production, tectonic density and strength of compositional. It also demonstrates strong empathy for its local conditions as well as a confident critical approach to the modern avantgarde. It responds to the desire for purity, truth and often affirms a repressed social and cultural reality. Although the architecture itself engages with banal, everyday and secondary, it must be understood that we are dealing with architecture. The difference is significant; there is no conciliation between architecture and nonarchitecture, between art and non-art. If architecture or art shifts towards the ordinary, it maintains its status as architecture or art; when the ordinary attempts to shift towards architecture or art, it can be at most kitsch. The presence of this boundary is immutable. It can be moved, alienated and obscured but never destroyed.
