Ostalgie in Czech society
Sahánková, Barbora ; Szobi, Pavel (advisor) ; Tajovský, Ladislav (referee)
This thesis focuses on phenomenon "ostalgie" in current society in Czech Republic. I will analyze the attitude of contemporary witnesses to the period of sixties in 20th century in Czechoslovakia and try to clarify whether their potential nostalgic feelings are based on rational facts (better standard of living, working conditions, social security etc.) or whether they are caused by subjective perception of the past in connection with aging. In the first part of my thesis I will explain the ways how this "ostalgie" occurs in life of former GDR citizens. Then I will transfer those individual aspects to the environment of Czech society and analyze them in more detailed way. The thesis will be based on unpublished sources, followed by monographs and special studies of Czech, German and English origin, by use of the methods of oral history, social history and the history of everyday life.

Everyday life of the imperial envoyes in Poland in the second half of the 17th century
KONRÁDOVÁ, Monika
The presented diploma thesis deals with the theme of everydayness of imperial diplomats working in Poland in the second half of the 17th century. The basic source for the research is the preserved personal correspondence of six diplomats from the period concerned. The author of the thesis also takes note of prints, leaflets and prescriptive manuals for diplomats of the era. One of the main objectives of the work is to clarify how the imperial envoys perceived the parliamentary tradition and practice of Polish-Lithuanian state and also how they were personally involved in the affairs of the Seim and royal court. An essential part of the work is the analysis of a diplomat´s audience with the Seim, fractionalism of the Seim and the envoy´s interaction with the sovereign during both official and unofficial events. Other important part of the thesis is an interpretation of the symbolic meaning of festivities which the imperials diplomats at the Polish court took part in e.g. weddings, funerals, elections and coronations. The work also focuses on the private component of the diplomat´s mission and its most important institution of "patronage and good friendship", owing to which many locked doors could have been entered and which enabled diplomats having the security of the financial support of their mother country. Informal activities of diplomats comprised also travelling within legation and different related dangers. The author also deals with the health condition of diplomats and the ways their health problems influenced their daily routines during a diplomatic mission. Last but not least part of the work treats the Habsburg diplomat´s perception of Polish, Russian and Tatar people and the communication network of imperial envoys.

KORYTÁŘOVÁ, Jana
The aim of my diplom work is to, at least partially, take a close look at everyday life in the mentioned city of Vsetín in the period of years 1939 - 1945. One of the primary tasks was to chronicle mainly commercial, communal and cultural life of this regional city using mainly archival sources, less commonly literature. The most of the information comes from official sources, which are stored in the State district record office in Vsetín. During the work, there were also used documents stored in Moravian provincial record office in Brno and in Provincial record office in Opava. In these cases, it dealt funds, that arose because of acts of German occupation authorities. In the submitted work, I have used not only literature, but also regional press. But it was used very marginally, because very little amount of it has preserved.
