Emil Filla and China
Pecháčková, Emma ; Lahoda, Vojtěch (advisor) ; Pejčochová, Michaela (referee)
It is well known about Emil Filla (1882-1953) that he was passionate about collecting non-european art. During his life he tried to find some kind of universal language which would allow him to connect the artistic styles of different cultures from all around the world. Filla sacrified a huge part of his life to studying chinese art, which became popular in Europe in the beginning of 20th century. Filla did not only frequent Asian art exhibitions, he himself owned many artistic objects and Chinese ink paintings. Thanks to studying books and paintings he became familiar with philosphy and media typical for Chinese landscape painting. The most obvious evidence of Chinese influence is the thin and long form of painting, use of ink and the illusion of timeless atmosphere, eternity and infinity. The result of this are wider landscapes which differ greatly to the rest of traditional Western landscape painting.The landscapes from České středohoří were Filla's last works. He had them painted at the very end of his life around the 1950s, when art was under the control of government authorities. These landscapes from České středohoří are unique and they are definitely not the perfect example of social-realistic painting which was popular by this time. Filla's aim was more about spiritual value for the artist...

Nuclear Society - United States of America 1945 - 1964
Ulvr, Michal ; Kovář, Martin (advisor) ; Skřivan, Aleš (referee) ; Tajovský, Ladislav (referee)
Michal Ulvr Abstract It was the near-end of the Second World War, which defined the popular reception of the Atomic bomb for upcoming decade. In the first year of the nuclear monopoly, the feeling of uncertainty and fear of death in the nuclear war was not yet present in strength. The mood of relative safety dominated the American society till the fall of the monopoly in 1949. Since the first atomic explosion occurred in the USSR, the atmosphere of fear, that never faded back and was latent since August and September 1945, made an exuberant appearance in press and other media. Suddenly, the American government made (after years of neglect) a great effort to calm down the uncertainty of the public. A Federal Civil Defense Administration was established at the end of 1950 and provided more or less useful information, propaganda, material and logistical support for a war with the Soviet Union, which was expected to come sooner or later. Plenty of educational and propaganda pamphlets, books and training films were produced in determination to make it clear, that survival under nuclear attack was possible. And indeed, at that time, there was even a good chance, that keeping some basic survival rules in mind an individual could come out of a nuclear attack relatively unscathed. Administration even tried to...

Depictions of Subcarpathian Ruthenia in the Czech newspapers of the Czechoslovak First Republic, 1919-1922: Developing Public Support for the Refusal of the Rusyn Right to Autonomy?
Brown, Geoffrey ; Vykoukal, Jiří (advisor) ; Zilynskyj, Bohdan (referee)
Geoffrey Brown Abstract: In 1919 the Rusyns of Subcarpathian Ruthenia and Rusyn immigrants living in the United States decided that joining the newly-created Czechoslovak Republic offered them the best possible conditions for a stable future. They agreed to the union on the condition that the Rusyns would be granted the widest possible degree of political autonomy, and this autonomy was then guaranteed by the Treaty of Saint Germain signed in September 1919. Once the territory of Subcarpathian Ruthenia had joined Czechoslovakia, the Government in Prague decided that the Rusyn people were incapable of meeting the responsibilities of governing their own territory, since at the end of World War One they had been among the poorest and least culturally developed of all the nations of Austro-Hungary. The Rusyn leaders, particularly the territory's first Governor, Gregory Zhatkovich, protested to no avail against the Czechoslovak government's refusal to grant the Rusyns their legal right to political autonomy. Prior to the war the Czech public had practically no knowledge of Rusyns or their territory of Subcarpathian Ruthenia. During the first three years of the Czechoslovak state, the Czech media published many newspaper articles which highlighted or exaggerated the primitive nature of the Rusyn people,...

Czech sharing on Expo 1958 in Brusel and its image on contemporary press
Kacerovská, Soňa ; Bednařík, Petr (advisor) ; Sládková, Hana (referee)
v AJ The world exhibition in Brussels in 1958 marked an important event in the history of the Czechoslovakian totalitarian art history. Until today it is still a reminder of the high quality art handicraft, design and multimedia formation. In the atmosphere of the Cold war the EXPO 58 became a symbolical clash of the capitalist and socialist principles of government and a comparison of skills and abilities of their representatives (US and USSR). The attention of the visitors and the media surprisingly concentrated on the Czechoslovakian exposition, which apart from the traditional products presented also some new initiations in artistic and technological branches and contributed to the establishment of the so called Brussels life style. It was the Czechoslovakian success which helped the media to use the mechanisms of propaganda. Using three daily newspaper and two weekly magazines this work is trying to capture how was the Czechoslovakian participation showed to the public and what features of propaganda were used.

Knotová, Markéta ; Šoltys, Otakar (advisor) ; Trampota, Tomáš (referee)
The aim of this thesis was to analyse certain parts of promotional campaign for referendum on accession of the CR to the EU. The media campaign took place in May and June 2003 and the referendum was held on 13th and 14th June, 2003. I chose five representative ads, three of them being television spots, one radio spot and one poster, which were published in various Czech media during May and June 2003.197 More precisely, they were three pieces (tv spot, radio spot and poster) made by government of the CR198, one piece made by public-service Czech television and one spot made by commercial Nova television. This division makes it clear that I distinguish governmental activities from activities of the media. The thesis was mainly focused on the governmental campaign and the other two spots were there to bring some comparison. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Effect of EU integration on media sector in Moldova
Sirbu, Angela ; Nesbitt, Todd (referee) ; Jirák, Jan (advisor)
Almost two decades ago, just like other post-communist countries in Central and Eastern Europe, Republic of Moldova begun its transformation from the communist system to a liberal democracy and market economy. Again similarly to other courtiers in the region, Moldova set itself a goal to join EU. The process seemed irreversible even after the first victory, since Moldova proclaimed its independence in 1991, by the Moldova's Communist Party (PCRM) of the parliamentary elections in February 2001. Current thesis analyzed chances and some of the possible effects of the EU regulations in the field of media implementation in Moldova, where the old fashion Communist Party is in power for the last 8 years and in April 1009 succeeded to disputably win the general parliamentary elections for the third consecutive time. After ten years since Moldovan government announced European integration as a priority and the first official document framing the EU-Moldova relations was signed the real situation in the media sector did not improve much. There are objective reasons of this situation. Many European countries share the same characteristics such as historically strong party press, external rather internal pluralism, and strong state intervention. For post-communist countries in Central and Eastern Europe that tend to...

Electronic trade and private international law with special regard to entering into contracts
Peterková, Kateřina ; Brodec, Jan (referee) ; Pauknerová, Monika (advisor)
1 Electronic Commerce and Private International Law (with Special Focus on Contract Formation Process) Summary in English language Technologies through which we are able to conclude a contract and carry out business are evolving by unbelievable speed. Legislators all over the world are unable to keep up with such a development usually because the legislative process is a long-term one, they come across absolutely new problems and they have to find new ways to deal with them. The current effective norms governing electronic commerce are often insufficient. They deal only with parts of the problems arising in connection to electronic commerce. Most of them were enacted in times when internet was the only mean of contracting and therefore they are not applicable to new technologies like mobile phones or PDA ect. One of the biggest legal problems arising in connection with new technologies is caused by their borderless. The users are contracting through borders easily because they are not obvious in traditional way. There appears a new question where are the borders in the cyberspace? And are there any? And hand in hand with this issue goes the problem of determining the governing law for these contracts and court that has jurisdiction to hear a case when a dispute arise. Shortly said the new borderless media...

United States Soft Power- Using Free and Open Media to Bolster the Afghan Democracy. Radio Azadi -A Case Study
Smoot, Taylor Grant ; Žídková, Markéta (advisor) ; Riegl, Martin (referee)
Since the US-led invasion began in October 2001, the United States has spent $440 billion on military operations in Afghanistan. Afghanistan still suffers from widespread corruption, ineffective government agencies, daily attacks taking place by both US-led forces and the Taliban - not to mention that 4 million refugees remain dislocated around the countryThe United States declared political objectives in the country are to -disrupt, disable, dismantle al- Qaeda in Afghanistan, to prevent it from using Afghanistan and Pakistan as a base to attack the United States. The U.S. and its military officials feel the best way to achieve this is by building a functioning Afghan Government that can secure its populations, protect its borders, keep Al-Qaeda out of Afghanistan and create a democratic social culture. For them to achieve this it is going to take a generational effort and billions of dollars. With the war entering its tenth year with no clear-cut victory in sight, the US-led forces will either have to leave Afghanistan due to enormous cost and domestic political pressure, or refocus its allocation of resources and redefine its objectives. The best way the U.S. will be able to leave Afghanistan but still help sustain and create a working stable and effective democratic government is through the...
