Knights Žďárský of Ždar came from western part of Bohemia from Doupov region (North East of well know town of Karlovy Vary).

Smilová, Jana ; Míšková, Alena (advisor) ; Foltýn, Dušan (referee)
The aim of this bachelor thesis is to introduce the perished Jewish community in Čkyně, especially its last members. The work is based on the study of the archival documents in the relevant archives and on the articles in the regional volumes. The first part of this work contains the literature and archival sources used in this work. Then the introduction of the history of the jewish community from the end of the 16th century to the period of the World War II follows. These are supplemented with the basic pieces of information about the history of the Jews in Bohemia. Without that it would not be possible to set this small community into a wider context. The main part of this work is to elaborate the fates of the last members of this Jewish community which is mostly based on the study of the archival documents. The stories of lives of the particular people who had belonged to this community or had been in some kind of contact with it are described. These stories make the theoretical part about the history of the Jewish community a very personal and approachable matter. This part ends with the description of the holocaust which brought this Jewish community into its end. A special chapter is given to the Jewish cemetery and the synagogue which are the only visible reminder of the Jewish settlement at this place.

Reflection of travels in the Zdeněk Matěj Kuděj's writing
Křenová, Kateřina ; Vaněk, Václav (advisor) ; Menclová, Věra (referee)
This diplom a thesis has two goals. One of them is to bring a compact biography of the Czech writer Zdeněk Matěj Kuděj (1881 - 1951), one of the representatives of modernism and a c10se friend to the writer Jaroslav Hašek. Despite intensive search I was not able to get any record or evidence of the whole Kudějs life. In the second part, the thesis covers the part of his work which was influenced by his travels, primarily those which took him outside Bohemia. Between years 1903 - 1909 he traveled the USA. He lived as a tramp and made his living as a casual worker. Experiences from this period were later described in couple of his books. In 1913 he spent almost a year in a prison of the tsarist Russia. Also this experience was reflected in his work.

Reception of darwinism in Bohemia between 1859 and 1918
Tomsová, Julie ; Pokorná, Magdaléna (referee) ; Klusáková, Luďa (advisor)
In this B.A. thesis I focus closer on the conditions of the reception of Darwinism in Bohemia in the period between 1859 and 1918. My research deals with the basic mapping and evaluation of the process of acceptance of Darwinism in Czech society, both in public discourse and in more specialized discourse of academic society and in the field of theology. In terms of the professional and scientific discourse I examine the questions of when, through which channels, and in what forms the works of Charles Darwin got into Czech general public; and how people accepted and reflected them. I also examine the responses on Darwin's theories which appeared in contemporary press and literature. I assumed that attitude of particular social groups toward Darwin and his theory was different. Distinct viewpoints took naturalists and scientists and public administration and the Catholic Church. And somewhere between these two different viewpoints occurred the general public. In the thesis I have analysed the process of the reception of Darwinism in Bohemia in the mentioned period and arrived to conclusions that this process did not take place accordingly in all three monitored discourses - public, academic and theological. The ambivalence between mainly positive reception of academic society and negative reaction of the...

Nevrkla, Lukáš ; Václavů, Lubor (advisor) ; Míšková, Alena (referee)
Two 1939 Soviet-German Pacts and Their Reflection in the Press of the Protectorate Bohemia and Moravia Abstract The main aim of the thesis is to analyze the reflection of the Soviet-German relations in the Czech legal press of the Protectorate Bohemia and Moravia at the time of the outbreak of the Second World War when the Ribbentrop-Molotov non-aggression pact (23 August 1939) and of the treaty of borders and friendship (27 September 1939) transformed the character of the international relations in the Central and Eastern Europe. At first, the text concentrates on analysis of the contemporaneous circumstances both in terms of international relations in Europe and in terms of internal domestic policies in the protectorate. In the following part, the author discusses the protectorate press response to the two German-Soviet treaties as well as the press attitudes to a number of other related issues such as the Soviet-Japanese conflict in Mongolia. The thesis is based on research of a series of Czech protectorate dailies, namely A- Zet, České slovo, Národní práce, Venkov a Vlajka. However, it also takes into account two illegal Czech periodicals, the magazine V boj and the Communist illegal newspaper Rudé právo.

Propaganda fiction of the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia period
Kolezsar, Michal ; Janáček, Pavel (advisor) ; Holý, Jiří (referee)
The thesis deals with Czech activist fiction of anti-Semitic and openly pro-Nazi stance in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia between 1942 and 1945. This type of fiction has yet been widely ignored in the Czech (or Czechoslovak) scientific literature in spite of the fact that it belonged to the so-called "Popular Literature" at that time and therefore could have some (and maybe significant) impact on Czech readership. For that reason one of the main objectives of this paper is to identify and describe particular pieces. The identification and description is based primarily on the original material research of archival documents, newspapers and publications. On the basis of theoretical disputes and reviews in the official Protectorate press it also attempts to define officially demanded fundamental characteristics of the so-called "New Art" (or "The Art of the New Europe"). In another perspective (concerning themes and motives) it aims to distinguish specific categories in the tendentious literature of this period. It is argued that the basic types were: 1) Novels with the strong anti-Semitic accent (emphasis is laid upon a typification of characters); 2) Labour-novels; and 3) "Geopolitical" novels in which the fictional world of the "New Europe" is created.
