Balladic features in prosaic work of Hungarian author István Petelei
Okrouhlá, Ana ; Tóth, István (referee) ; Kolmanová, Simona (advisor)
The present work concerns a certain area of the oeuvre of the multifaceted Hungarian writer István PETELEI. Specifically, these works are the balladic novellas that represent the preeminent genre throughout the author's career. Petelei is himself something of an unjustly neglected figure within Hungary, and is entirely unknown in Czech. Consequently, the present survey has set itself the goal of recalling the author within his native Hungary and simultaneously presenting him to the Czech reader as a figure worthy of attention. Petelei's balladic novellas were selected as a result of the present writer's conviction that not only do they offer a trenchant depiction of society at the time, but moreover on their own merits form a significant literary heritage. PETELEI lived and worked at the turn of the 19th and the 20th centuries, a historical context likewise manifested within his work. Furthermore, the immediate background is the reason why attention has been paid in the present work to the writer's relatively unusual origins, as well as the course of his life. The genre of the balladic novella has been found to be particularly useful, as indeed both the ballad and the novella have been and continue to be popular not only among Czech readers but indeed the Central European literary tradition as a whole....

Kuprová, Renata ; Kahuda, Jan (referee) ; Dobeš, Jan (advisor)
The aim of this bachelor thesis is to fully retrieve the first part of the manuscript memoires of noted Czech archivist and historian PhDr. Adolf Ludvík Krejčík (1877 - 1958). The manuscript was preserved as a part of his personal papers, which is now located in the National Archive of Czech Republic in Prague. Even though the title of the first part is "From the Birth until 1948" the author describes events only up to the beginning of the 20-th century. The author narrates his childhood and juvenile age, his study at the Faculty of Philosophy of the Charles Univresity in Prague and at the prestigeous Institut für österreichische Geschichtsforschung in Vienna, his scientific work at the Austrian Historical Institute in Rome and his activity in the Schwarzenberg Archive in Třeboň and Moravian Land Archive in Brno. While writing his memoires, Krejčík regrettably did not cover the period during which he founded the Czechoslovak State Agricultural Archive, where he served as its first director. In this period was Krejčík counted amongst the most prominent Czech archivists. Far from being centered around his scientific activities, the memoires cover broad area of authors cultural interests (especially music and theatre) and the circumstances of everyday life, as well as other subjects. The editional work was...

Jean-Philippe Toussaint and New novel
Veselá Segetová, Zuzana ; Pohorský, Aleš (referee) ; Voldřichová - Beránková, Eva (advisor)
This thesis deals with the question whether Jean-Philippe Toussaint's work resembles the work of the authors of the New novel, particularly Alain Robbe-Grillet. The thesis initiates with the topics covered by the New Novel: the main ideas and their realization and characteristics of the new writing style. This is followed by the analysis of a contemporary Belgian author, Jean-Philippe Toussaint. There is a short introduction of his life and character, his work and reasons why he is so popular and how he became a success. The main point of this part is the analysis of his writing style and its development from his early novels up to his present work. This thesis tries to look into the similarities and differences of J.-P. Toussaint's work and the work of the authors of the New novel. It mainly focuses on the use of objects, what role they play in Toussaint's novels, how they are described and the importance of their description for understanding the plot. The analysis begins with an introduction to the 1950s' new wave authors, later called the authors of the New novel, and their complaints aimed at the classical 19th century novel. We base this part mainly on Alain Robbe-Grillet's ideas. This author totally rejects classical plot, characters, accurate description of reality and linear time-flow. Instead, he...

Village self-government in the beginning of 20th century in Libice nad Cidlinou
Vinduška, Jan ; Tomandl, Miloš (referee) ; Pargač, Jan (referee)
Uvedení v život obecní samosprávy v roce 1850 mělo obrovský význam jak pro samotné obyvatele obcí a měst, tak pro pozitivní vývoj celé společnosti. Obce i města dostala možnost se samostatně rozvíjet dle svých potřeb bez nutnosti neomezeného diktátu zvenčí, za předpokladu, že představitelé obcí a měst se budou řídit danými zákonnými normami. Zásady na nichž měl být vybudován první obecní zákon v habsburské monarchii a které byly císařem zaručeny jako základní práva svobodné obce, obsahovalo IV. oddělení říšské ústavy ze dne 4. března 1849 v § 33 a znějí následovně: a) Volení zastupitelů obce; b) Přijímání nových údů (občanů) do spolku obecního; c) Samostatné řízení obecních záležitostí; d) Uveřejňování výsledků obecního hospodaření; e) Veřejná jednání obecních zastupitelů. Těchto několik důležitých bodů pro vznik obecní samosprávy je základním motem předkládané studie. Jak již sám název napovídá, hlavním cílem této práce je snaha o interpretaci přesně specifikované vesnické samosprávy počátkem 20. století na Poděbradsku. Vedle konkrétního vzniku obecního výboru a orgánů obce na základě voleb se budeme zabývat také vymezením hlavních činností představenstva (prezentovaného starostou obce), obecního výboru a dalšími aktivitami úzce souvisejícími s obecní samosprávou. Obecní samospráva totiž dala občanům do...
