Czechoslovak Housing Estates in the Late Socialism: Ideology, Practice, and Criticism
Sirisornpattapon, Ponpassorn ; Emler, David (advisor) ; Šmidrkal, Václav (referee)
Czechoslovak housing estates built in the last two decades of state-socialism can be viewed as a socialist spatial entity with its own uniqueness and local characteristics specific to the circumstances of socialist Czechoslovakia during the "normalisation" era. These housing estates appeared from the beginning of the 1970s in big cities such as in Prague and Bratislava provided a new kind of living space for the residents. The ideas behind the creation of these estates were not only related to their physical appearance which shows the direct connection to modernist architecture, but also the aspiration of socialist ideologues to make a positive change in the name of socialist modernisation. Although the post-war socialist centralization of the Czechoslovak state and architectural practice endorses the notion of collective endeavour, the construction of housing estates for all as a part of the "building of socialism" program was attacked by contemporary critiques as providing the premises for the citizens' retreat into the private sphere. These estates could be argued to have caused a psychological impact and worked to shape a new lifestyle and mentality of the residents whose lives epitomized the main theme of normalisation-era: the quiet lives away from politics.

Between structuralism and New criticism. (Theoretical consequences in the work of Rene Wellek).
BOROVKOVÁ, Gabriela
This bachelor's thesis deals with the Czech-American literary scholar René Wellek's literary theory. It attempts to put it into the context of the two most notable theoretical schools, which was René Wellek directly influenced by and whose discourse he participated in, namely Czech Structuralism and Anglo-American New Criticism. Based on selected body of Wellek's theoretical work, I point out the similarities to the ideas of both critical groups' most eminent representatives as well as differences from them. The main subject of my attention is Wellek's programme of criticism as an academic discipline and his conception of literature and literary work of art as a subject of research, but I also consider Wellek's writing style and his methodological approach in analysing and interpretation of specific literary works of art. The objective of my thesis is to point out to mutual relations rather than "classify" the scholar as either a Structuralist or a New Critic.
