Book of Henrykow as a source
Petrášek, Jiří ; Pátková, Hana (referee) ; Bláhová, Marie (advisor)
Hereby presented diploma paper is concentrating primarily on the Book Of Henryków (BOH), the outcome of Cistercian literature as produced in Silesia at the break of 13th and 14th century. I worked with Roman Grodecki edition, published in 1991. At the beginning I resumed published editions and source related literature. W orks containing some notions on BOH but not dealing with it further were left behind. Here I also made few remarks on topics I did not work with later on, as clashes between Polish, German and Roman/German canon law and the case of the oldest Polish-written sentence. I did not comment largely literature exploited for the purpose of this paper. In first part I reviewed general political and cultural situation in the 12th, 13th and the beginning of 14th century Silesia, and introduced the moment when Grey Monks entered this area. Then I summarized contemporary Cistercian writing, where those produced in communities of Lubi'l_z, Trzebnica, Henryków and Kamienec are the most significant. These were mainly obituaries, annals, chronicles, Bishop' s lists, legends and Boo k Of Henrykow itself. With the help of previous researches and manuscript fascimile, I analyzed handwriting, authors, organization of BOH manuscript and reasons of manuscripťs creation. Using the example of Bobolice village, I...

Manipulation of children in the prose of Aldous Huxley and George Orwell
Linhart, Marek ; Clark, Colin Steele (referee) ; Wallace, Clare (advisor)
The focus of this thesis are two of the most prominent specimen of utopian literature, namely George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four and Aldous Huxley's Brave New World. Despite the fact that Brave New World, which was published in 1932, predates Nineteen Eighty-Four by seventeen years and was written in a quite different social and political climate, both these books share many important elements. While depicting vastly different societies with diverse structures of power distribution, they both express certain fears and worries that their respective authors had about the future of civilisation, which is why they were chosen as primary texts for this thesis. More specifically, the main area of discourse is going to be the treatment of children and their relation to the state as depicted in these books. In this field, both Orwell's Oceania and Huxley's World State share the same objective, which is to turn children and the young generation in general into an obedient tool to be at the system's disposal. This aim is very prominent for many reasons in both books, but the results are the same; children willingly submit themselves fully to the state and become one of the major means the state possesses to achieve its goals. The degree of control over children both in Brave New World and Nineteen Eighty- Four is...

Bedrnová, Jitka ; Lábová, Alena (advisor) ; Chuchma, Josef (referee)
Collecting all the documents on Czechoslovak photographic theory in the period 19401969 published in the Czechoslovak periodical press and the treatises proved through descriptive analysis that the first-rate photography theory did exist in Czechoslovakia of that time. It was in spite of the former political regime efforts to assign the photography tendency by means of the so called Marxist-Lcninist theory and the fact that it was almost impossible to gain information on foreign up-to-date trend. Especially in the early fifties of the 20th century the dcvelopement of the Czechoslovak photography and its theory stagnated because of the dogmatic principles of the regime 's favored theorists. Yet in the late fifties the authors proficiently dealing with certain large photography issues were allowed to publish as well and thus crucially affected other theorists. both professional and amateur photographers and the lay public and their view of the Czechoslovak photography and under the given conditions the world photography and facilitated the Czechoslovak photography theory developement as well as the photography practice devclopcment. It was especially the editors and contributors of the Ceskoslovenska fotografie and Revue Fotografie who did their best to transmit information from abroad to the public and from...

The German Reunification in Parallel with the Eastern Enlargement of the European Union: Two Roads towards Political Integration
Novotná, Tereza ; Kučera, Rudolf (advisor) ; Jeřábek, Martin (referee)
The thesis argues that the reunification of Germany and the eastern enlargement of the European Union represent two types of democratization through political integration that occurred after the collapse of communist regimes in Central and Eastern Europe. The German exemplar stands for an immediate integration with no preconditions and no foregoing reforms on either part but, instead, employing a simple transfer principle and economic backing of the 'accepting' entity. The Eastern enlargement is a model for the opposite process - a gradual, long-term integration through 'political conditionality' until candidate states reach a political and economic level comparable to the level of the accepting unit. Since both ways of integration are diverse, the final results differ as well. While the eastern enlargement was successful in terms of economics and political stabilization in the new EU member states that are, however, skeptical towards further deepening of the European integration, the unified Germany suffers from economic difficulties and, in the Eastern parts, from the rise of post-communist party and nostalgia. After outlining a theory of two types of integration in the opening chapters, the third chapter proceeds to examining how both integrations came about and how they were legally carried out. The...

Dualism in Italy
Báčová, Pavla ; Písař, Pavel (advisor) ; Stočková, Olga (referee)
The main purpose of my bachelor thesis will be to confirm the backwardness of Southern Italy in comparison with the north of Italy by use of macroeconomic indicators which are mainly published by ISTAT and other organizations. Furthermore, I will try to confirm the fact that the backwardness of the south of Italy is largely caused by the influence of Mafia - would Southern Italy be an equal partner of the north or would it possibly be more prosperous in the absence of Mafia? This analysis will be complemented by the actual steps taken by the Italian government and various southern Italian regions carried out to improve the current situation. Further, I will propose my own procedures of how to fight this extraordinary phenomenon or at least, how to find a way to reduce it. In the next part, I shall discuss the progressive development and causes of dualism in the north and south of Italy, by means of which I will, after a more thorough examination, try to sketch an idea of why Italy is, despite being a unified country, continually split into two completely different regions.

A comparative analysis of the Czech and German positions on solving the European migrant crisis in 2015
Szantová, Ivona ; Maslowski, Nicolas (advisor) ; Dubský, Zbyněk (referee)
The question of increasing immigration and refugee pressure in Europe has become a sensitive political and economic issues, and also subject to ideological conflicts, not only in countries that face this phenomenon most intensively, but also in those member states that are not considered to be typical immigrant states such as the Czech Republic. While during the previous crisis in the eurozone and the Greek debt crisis the division of the EU to the north and south could be observed, migrant crisis in 2015 divided the EU in another way. It is rather excessive compassion of the West on one side and xenophobic attitude of Eastern European countries on the other. Diploma thesis will examine the similarities and differences of opinions on solving the migrant crisis between the two EU member states, which represent these two ideological poles, Germany and the Czech Republic, with the regard to their international legal obligations, obligations of membership in the EU and protection of their own national interests. It will also examine what influences the formation of these opinions and what role can the phenomenon of migration crisis play in the building or a change of state identity.

The method of my research is a specific excerption of the daily press, where I am looking for the infiltrations of the neologisms, which are word-buildingly motivated by the proper names of the native politicians, to the present language. I am analyzing these neologisms from the word-building point of view, from the semantic point of view and I am focusing also on the using productivity of the given word-building types. 1 compare my research with the proper literature and I summarize that the neo-creation from proper names is significant and high productive language phenomenon, which is enriching present language word-stock with...
