Špína, Vladimír ; Kasáková, Zuzana (advisor) ; Bauer, Paul (referee)
The Proclaiming a Republic: The 1916 Rising (2016-2020) exhibition was opened by the National Museum of Ireland as a part of the Decade of Centenaries project to commemorate the Easter Rising. This thesis understands the exhibition as a place of memory, which on the occasion of the centenary represents the official memory of the rising, and it aims to analyze this memory. The exhibition is perceived through the SANE framework as a mnemonic formation and the emphasis is put on narrative of the exhibition. Analysis of which is based on presumptions of the new museology, according to which modern museums utilize either hegemonic (celebratory, status quo-maintaining) or counter-hegemonic (minority, status quo-denying) narratives. The content of the exhibition (texts, exhibits, photographs), which was documented by the author of this thesis during repeated visits in 2017 and 2018, is subjected to thematic analysis.

Knotková, Barbora ; Váška, Jan (advisor) ; Šlosarčík, Ivo (referee)
The thesis deals with the topic of Irish neutrality in the context of European integration and verifies the statement that Ireland participated in the processes of European integration in the 21st century only in a way that did not threaten its neutrality. The main part of the thesis focuses on three specific events, specifically the approval of the Lisbon Treaty, the Treaty of Nice and Permanent Structured Cooperation (PESCO). These are the three most crucial moments of the 21st century European integration, which involved the issue of Irish neutrality. The thesis uses these three cases to prove that Ireland's involvement in the European integration architecture was in line with Irish political neutrality and without posing any threat to it. Worries about neutrality in Ireland result from EU cooperation in the area of CFSP and concerns about the creation of a European army, searching in all the monitored ways.

Only then did they accept the Treaty in the second referendum. A similar situation occurred in the case of Lisbon Treaty, which was not approved until the second...
