Czechs at world's fairs
Ulmanová, Kristýna ; Hlavačka, Milan (advisor) ; Pokorná, Magdaléna (referee)
In the introduction, the thesis author provides a typology of Czech travelers who visited one of the world exhibitions in the second half of the nineteenth century. Then the work focuses this typology on two types of travelers, namely the type of traveler-tourist and the type of traveler-scholar. The type of traveler-tourists is first defined by the contemporary understanding of the concept of "tourist." Then the conditions in which Czech tourists traveled to the World's Fairs are described, where they were housed and how they ate. Subsequently, the author analyzes the reasons why the Czech traveler-tourist traveled to the exhibition, what were his expectations, and whether those expectations were realistic. The work also captures the emerging phenomenon of mass trips abroad. Part of the work also deals with cultural stereotypes and self-reflection of Czech tourists, provoked by contact with other countries and their inhabitants. The traveler-scholar is characterized by comparison with the traveler-tourist. Furthermore, the author pays attention to international congresses, which were an integral part of the World's Fairs and in which the traveler-scholar often participated. The example of Unity of the Encouragement of Industry in Bohemia shows how the representatives of Czech organizations were sent to the...

Bajáková, Eva ; Wünschová Pujmanová, Alexandra (advisor) ; Žikovská, Petra (referee)
The aim of the present thesis is to examine an impact of reproductive and recording technique and of the global network of the Internet on the institute of collective management of copyright and related rights which forms traditional part of the system of copyright law. Firstly, the thesis embeds an issue of the institute of collective management into the appropriate legal framework and historical context. The delimitation of collective management's purpose follows; an emphasis is placed on the position of the collective manager of copyright as an intermediary between the competing interests of the right holders and interests of users. It is explained that the change of manners of communication of the work to the public from "point-to-mass" to "point-to-point" tends to weaken such position.

Baroque glass and its collection in the Older history section of the Czech National Museum
Mádl, Martin
Celá tato práce je výsledkem několikaletého projektu, zaměřeného na studium barokního skla. V jejím prvním dílu se pokoušíme podat vymezení problému barokního skla v obecné rovině. Na začátek zařazujeme nejprve teoretickou úvahu o možnostech pojetí materiálu v dějinách umění. Druhou část prvního dílu pak věnujeme soudobým názorům na sklářství, které nám ve svém literárním díle zanechal německý polyhistor 17. století Johann Joachim Becher. Celý tento úvodní díl není přehledem dějin sklářství, ani přehledem názorů na sklářství. Vychází však z dosud málo známých dobových literárních pramenů, které se snaží nově zhodnotit a vytvořit z nich určitou teoretickou základnu, z níž by bylo možné barokní sklo vnímat a k jeho studiu dále přistupovat. V jeho závěrech se spíše snažíme některé problémy otevřít a vymezit, než na ně s konečnou platností odpovědět. V příloze k tomuto dílu uvádíme ukázky Becherových textů o skle. Na závěr zařazujeme přehled použité literatury, na kterou odkazujeme v statích a v katalogových heslech ve zkratkách. Druhý díl práce je věnován sbírce barokního skla v oddělení starších českých dějin Národního muzea. V jeho úvodu podáváme stručný přehled vývoje této sbírky a jejího odborného zpracování, a její zběžnou charakteristiku. Jednotlivým předmětům sbírky se dále věnujeme v následném...
