The capital controls and their impact in the short and long term
Papežík, Ondřej ; Šíma, Ondřej (advisor) ; Pour, Jiří (referee)
The present thesis analyzes the application of capital controls and their impact on the economy in the short and long term. These regulatory measures have gone through many periods and opinions in which they were considered as both positive and negative instrument not only of monetary policy. Global financial crisis of 2008 has again raised a lot of questions dealing with this topic. Capital controls may help ease the acute problems associated with inflows or outflows in the short term but they will not solve the issue of the country's susceptibility to movements of primarily debt capital. Long-term capital closeness (whether in terms of export or import) may causes, inter alia, the excessive accumulation of savings in the domestic closed economy or lack of capital for economic development. Therefore, when applying capital controls it is also necessary to improve the country's institutional quality which proved to be an important determinant of capital flows.

The Neo-Victorian novel: contemporary trend in British fiction
Szilágyiová, Ester ; Nováková, Soňa (advisor) ; Beran, Zdeněk (referee)
In 1966 when Jean Rhys wrote Wide Saragasso Sea no one would have guessed that she was starting a new literary movement whose very essence dwelled in re-thinking and rewriting Victorian myths and stories which Sally Shuttleworth named the retro-Victorian novel1. As a matter of fact, John Fowles's The French Lieutenant's Woman published in 1969, brought to public attention the parody of Victorian social, sexual and literary conventions2 but it was really in the 1980's and 1990's that many British novelists rekindled the great Victorian tradition.3 Retro- or neo-Victorian novels take up themes, motives, characters - which are either factual, as in Peter Ackroyd's Last Testament of Oscar Wilde, or fictitious, as in George McDonald Fraser's Flashman series. Neo-Victorian novels imitate texts from the Victorian era and in most cases they follow the Victorian narratives structurally, formally and/or thematically.4 These contemporary rewrites of the Victorian texts also seem to imitate the average physical length of Victorian novels in as much as they are often very hefty tomes indeed, something which may be problematic for many readers in the bit/byte generation. Structurally, in most cases the texts are divided into books or chapters, sometimes preceded by chapter summaries or epigraphs. They imitate the most...

Skupina 42 and Chicago Renaissance - Kolář, Sandburg, Masters (1914-1948)
Vondřichová, Anna ; Šrámek, Petr (advisor) ; Holý, Jiří (referee)
This text is concerned with the connections between the Chicago Renaissance movement and the Czech post-war Skupina 42 (Group 42). Not being a fixed programme, Chicago Rennaisance covers not only the work of its major representatives - Carl Sandburg, Edgar Lee Masters and Vachel Lindsay, but also the general cultural atmosphere around the time of the First World War in the American Middle West. Although there are considerable timespace differences, the poetics of the particular poets and Skupina 42 members (especially Jiří Kolář) have much in common. Primarily, it is the effort to define a newly developing city as well as an individual's role in a human community. The complexity of this community requires adequate forms of poetic expression, which is in both cases performed by the use of everyday speech and free verse, depicting aptly social, ethnic and individual variability. Moreover, the imperfection and at the same time beauty of the common speech offer a fitting parallel to the character of the city as a whole.
