The changes of reflection of landscape in the Czech art and its new concepts in last fifty years intented on photography
Dlabáčková, Barbora ; Dadejík, Ondřej (referee) ; Stibral, Karel (advisor)
Our thesis contents the description of the progress of landscape art reflection from the very antique beginning. In that time, at first just the natural detailes entered the art. After, in Renesssaince the landscape attracted artists as a whole. Later, landscape established itself as an independent topic and even as a visual art genre. The first big break in landscape art reflection came in romantism when even tabooed topics, mountains in the most important way, got in the people's subconsciousness. In the 20th century, the decrement of landscape painting happened, on the contrary an era of landscape photography arrived making subsequent steps within the technical progress. Traditional Czech landscape comes from the landscape painters of 19th century, centered on horizontal and vertical lines of fields and meadows composed in a mosaic. This traditional model is no longer valid and actual. Landscape has changed so much, it has been filled by mines, tips and factories. Thanks to the process of artealisation, we can reflect also these new landscapes, having no aesthetic value in reality, with pleasure. We are convinced by photographies made by Sudek, Koudelka, Holomíček as well as Spurný. In their works, we are finding concepts of new landscape, metalandscape, original (great-) landscape or silent landscape...

Transformation of the KSČ/M since 1989
Roleček, Hynek ; Bureš, Jan (advisor) ; Buben, Radek (referee)
The process of transformation of the Czechoslovak Communist Party (KSČ) and its successor the Communist Party of Bohemia and Moravia (KSČM) since November 1989 is a unique example of incomplete transformation of the communist party into the non-communist party. The core of this process was the development of the KSČ and the KSČM in 1989-1996. The party following a change in the political system saves in the first free elections in 1990. The party searches possibilities of changes, which culminates into internal referendum in 1991- 1992, when the majority decides to keep the original labelling. The decisive point of the whole process is Congress in Prostějov in June 1993 when the winning faction prevents the radical change and preserves the party. Despite the strong party fission, which creates a lot of non-communist parties, the KSČM may rely on the solid core of voters in the elections of 1996. It is a signal for the party that the trend starting by KSČM consolidates positions, even offers other options for strengthening.

Conceptualisation of Ethnicity in the Context of the Sri Lankan Conflict Transformation
Dopita, Tomáš ; Knotková - Čapková, Blanka (advisor) ; Klimešová, Martina (referee)
Diploma thesis "Conceptualization of ethnicity in the context of transformation of Sri Lankan conflict" concerns the protracted social conflict in Sri Lanka in respect of relevant theories and possibilities for a peaceful transformation of the crisis. By means of content analysis I uncover the ontological and epistemological understanding of ethnicity within scholarly discussions of "ethnic conflict", selected discourses on multiculturalism and the politics of recognition, feminism and postcolonial studies. I attempt to relate and critically evaluate the conceptualizations of ethnicity contained within these discourses in respect of the Sri Lankan conflict and the challenges to its peaceful transformation. I argue that the understanding of ethnicity in the field of "ethnic conflict" studies, as presented within the limits of this thesis, is derived substantially from knowledge produced in the context of nation, nationalism and the modern nation state conceptual framework. The general theoretisation of ethnicity is therefore confined to the narrow view of a "Westphalian imagination". Ethnicity is thus passively accepted as a given quality of a de facto homogeneous group, operating within the circumscribed political society defined by the sovereignty of the modern state. However, as I argue, the explanatory...

The Process of Entrolling Children to the Pre-school education
Švarcová, Libuše ; Kroláková, Dagmar (referee) ; Burianová, Jana (advisor)
The final bachelor work is particularly concerned with the process of enrolling children to the pre-school education and with finding out circumstances influencing this process. It considers the way of taking children into nursery schools complying with all legal regulations and emphasizing the Convention on the Rights of the Children, and it draws attention to the different wording of the law on the children's enrolments. It maps hitherto progress, disproportions between the number of applicants and capacitive possibilities of the nursery schools when formulation and use of criteria for enrolling children do not solve the problems with insufficiency of posts in nursery schools. The bachelor work is based on the knowledge included in available literature and legal regulations, my own practice and experience. It compares results of my own research and nation-wide data. It brings up a comprehensive methodical material which in compliance with law could help headmasters of nursery schools in decision-making on administrative action. Using exploratory methods, my own research is assessing if problems related with enrolling children and with capacity of nursery schools are regional or if they are occurring in the whole ČR, and how they are treated.

Hugary's minority policy after 1990. Self-government of the German national minority
Luprich, Jan ; Chmel, Rudolf (advisor) ; Irmanová, Eva (referee)
This diploma thesis, which is focused on Hungary's minority policy after 1990 and self-government of the German national minorty, is divided into four main parts. In the first part of the thesis (Chapters I-III) I discuss the theoretic background regarding the terms "minority" and "minority policy" and furthermore the demographic development in the territory of the Republic of Hungary. The changes within the population as a whole and the nationality structure have been reflected here since 1945. This period could be considered as a milestone in the future development ofthe German minority in Hungary. In the second part of the thesis (Chapter IV) I deal with specific aspects of the Hungarian minority policy covering the period 1900 - 1989. The reason for that is the effort to put the historical events, directly affecting the political conception for minority protection or persecution of a given minority, in relation with current situation. Following three periods are in focus: period after the Austro-Hungarian Compromise, Post-Trianon Hungary and period of communist dictature. Especially during the last phase, the constant assimilation process of "national" minorities has been rapidly accelerated. In the third part (Chapters V-VII) I show in detail the development of the Hungarian minority politics in the...

French Cultural Policy Model: French Axception?
Proftová, Veronika ; Perottino, Michel (advisor) ; Tomalová, Eliška (referee)
The diploma thesis topic is the analysis of the French cultural policy model. It deals with the relation between state and culture, while asking a question if and what for is the French model exceptional. Although the history of the Ministry of Cultural Affairs dates only back to 1959, state intervention in the culture field has deep roots. In the continuation of the monarchy, the traditionally centralized state has kept an important role of patronage, protection and control. By linking together education and culture, the state devoted plenty of regulations to the latter, and favoured setting up of numerous organizations and institutions. The first public policy in the culture field was born in 1959 when the ministry entrusted to André Malraux was founded. This minister was giving direction to the French cultural policy for ten years. The 1970s were under the sign of ministerial instability. Despite a relative brevity of his term of office (1971 - 1973), Jacques Duhamel succeeded in giving the ministry a political course whose continuity was to be pursued until 1981. In 1981 Jack Lang was appointed as minister, whose ten years stay in office was marked by continuing and carrying out the policies of André Malraux and Jacques Duhamel, in spite of a noticeable change in his vocabulary and style. Since the...

Khomeini's conception of velajat-e faqih in the mirror of Shi'ite theology
Cvrkal, Zdeněk ; Gombár, Eduard (advisor) ; Mendel, Miloš (referee) ; Kropáček, Luboš (referee)
If we survey the development of political thought in Islam we would come to know that Muslim scholars. during the past hundred years. have developed new theories in the tield of Islamic political thought in an unprecedented manner. Yet some of them have not been successful in developing theories fit for running the affairs of their societies. The Iranian Islamic Revolution of 1979 resulted in the replacement of the monarchy by the Islamic Republic of Iran. The inspiration for the new government came from Great Ayatollah Seyyed Ruhollah Musavi Khomeini. who first began formulating his concept of an Islamic government in the early 1970s. while in exile in the Shi 'a Islam learning and pilgrimage center ofNajaf in Iraq. Thus, it is necessary to delve into his ideas and examine his political thought for various reasons: I. Imam Khomeini's thought laid the foundation of a great movement i.e .. the Islamic Revolution in Iran: with the culmination of the Islamic Revolution in Iran the oppressed peoples of the world, in general. and the Iranians. in particular. have been eagerly \Vaiting to reap the fruits of the movement. hence, it should be studied thoroughly; 3 moreover. in order to keep the record of such a movement in the history, it is necessary to work out the ideas of a 1'vfujtahid who. in the light of the...

Double monasteries in Premonstratensian rules
Zemanová, Hana ; Kubín, Petr (advisor) ; Pátková, Hana (referee)
Double monasteries in Premonstratension Order. This work on the double monasteries in Premonstratensian Order describes the chronological development of these monasteries, from their inception until 12th century, and not just in the East but also in the West. Double monasteries arose spontaneously especially in the early church. Their formation and gradual disappearance influenced not only religious but also social and political situation in the wider area. The most famous double monasteries were created in the Premonstratensian Order during the 12th century and quickly spread from France to neighboring countries, because the Holy Norbert was a supporter of such grouping. But later had to be given the coexistence of both sexes an order or some rules. It was therefore decided to separate the double monasteries not only in a distance but also legally. During the schism, only the abbots of the order from south parts (south of the Rhine) attended the General Chapters that were held in Prémontré and it was difficult to enforce the separation of communities and therefore the double monasteries in the territory of present-day Germany, survived longer than in France. This illustrated the foundation of a double monastery called Weissenau in 1145 and consecutive movement of nurses to a nearby Meisenthal in...
