The phenomenon of a stranger in male and female culture
Kučerová, Jitka ; Czumalo, Vladimír (referee) ; Soukup, Václav (advisor)
Modern society does not support variety. Globalization proves this and it affects gender, as well. Society tends to negate variety and reacts inappropriately - by segregation, ridicule, suspicion, etc. Variety is still understood as something of little value. This work studies the issue of variety in gender, whose problems it compares to problems of a stranger. It analyzes both issues in the perspective of modern Western society and offers the analogy of gender issue and the issue of a stranger. This analogy is outlined in three major areas of social life: family x society, specific male and female occupations, and partner relationships. Our work especially stresses tolerance and willingness to find what is realistic in contrast to prejudices. Any kind of discrimination not only disturbs the discriminated but also the discriminating. The obscurity of gender roles in modern times and difficulties in understanding these roles lead to negative effects for both sexes, including a lack of freedom.

Nippon re-discovered. The image of Japan in central European modernism 1920-1940
Čapková, Helena ; Švácha, Rostislav (referee) ; Lahoda, Vojtěch (advisor)
Japanese influence on Europe was particularly strong in the period of japonism, which is widely pinned down and limited to the second half of 19th century. However, this Japanese vogue transformed into a sophisticated knowledge and admiration for Japanese art, philosophy and everyday life by the interwar period. This transformation happened within a framework of international modernity and is a subject of this text. What is the Japanese element in modernism that alludes its latent japaneseness? I argue that it is a symptom of Japanese aesthetics that deeply rooted into common consciousness by the time between the wars. The geographic focus of this paper is on Central Europe and Japan. Japanese art scene has been an active participant of international art debates since the beginning of 20th century. This dynamic situation in Japan played a crucial role in seeking the history and unique face of modernism. Many prominent artists took part in this process including the ones for Central Europe. Therefore, few case studies will be included, such as on Johannes Itten, Bedřich Feuerstein and Bruno Taut.

Croatian minority in Hungary in modern era
Milojevičová, Jana ; Nedvědová, Milada (referee) ; Pelikán, Jan (advisor)
The goal of this thesis is to analyze the current situation of the Croat minority in Hungary. As a consequence of the Ottoman expansion and unbearable living conditions the Croat population started to migrate to the North; these migrations took place from the 15th to the 17th century and the majority of the Croat refugees settled down in Hungary. The refugees created insular communities in the southern and western parts of the contemporary Hungarian territory, in Austrian Burgenland, Slovakia and Moravia. Hungarian Croats can be divided into seven groups, all of them speaking various types of all main Croatian dialects. A special part of the thesis is dedicated to the Bunjevci and Šokci, as in the last two hundred years there have been constant discussions as far as their origin and, therefore, their pertinence to the Croatian nation is concerned. Under the Austro-Hungarian Empire the Croats represented only one of many nationalities in a multicultural state. However, during the process of the formation of the modern nations, Hungarian nationalism was strongly promoted and it in turn influenced minority politics until the Second World War. Following the post WWII transfers of inhabitants, Hungary has become even more ethnically homogenous than after the 1920 Trianon Treaty. During socialism the process of...
