Rudolph II. and his age from the view of the Latin baroque historiography (Bohuslav Balbín, Tomáš Pešina z Čechorodu, Jan Florian Hammerschmid etc.)
Čepelák, Jiří Augustin ; Svatoš, Martin (advisor) ; Valentová, Kateřina (referee)
The thesis deals with the works of the Czech baroque in Latin writing authors of non- Catholic and Catholic confession: Pavel Stránský (1583-1657), Jan Amos Komenský (1592- 1670), Jan Laetus-Veselský (1609-1659), Julius Solimanus (1595-1639), Bohuslav Balbín (1621-1688), Tomáš Pešina of Čechorod (1629-1680) and Jan Florián Hammerschmidt (1652- 1735). The focus of the thesis is (apart from the comparism of the point of view of the authors on personality and reign of Rudolph II. with the aspect on the ideal of the sovereign at that time) the description of their life and work as well, because some of them haven't been subject of interest of the researchers so far. The thesis brings also the stylistic and content escription of their historiographical works and selected passages from them are edited in the final part of the work.

Josef Sakař - life and work of a priest, educator and historian
SUDOVÁ, Martina
This work deals with the life and work of historian, educator, and priest Josef Sakař. Josef Sakař is one of the most prominent Týn nad Vltavou natives. His monumental four-volume work, The History of the town Tyn nad Vltavou and the Surrounding Area, includes the building blocks of South Bohemian regional history. Even though the greater balance of the work was written in the 1930s, to this day it has not been surpassed. Pardubice, like Týn nad Vltavou, owes much to Josef Sakař. It is the city where he spent most of his productive years and where he worked as a secondary school teacher. He wrote his major works here, among them a six-volume history of Pardubice nad Labem. Josef Sakař's activity was more than merely regional: for his efforts to protect historical monuments he was appointed (as the only one of thirty candidates from across the country) an honorary member of the Club for Old Prague in 1925.This thesis analyzes and compares sources, and it determines the importance and value of key events, family ties, friends and personalities that influenced Josef Sakař's life. For 21st-century educators, the thesis looks for inspiration that can be taken from his life and works. The work focuses on Josef Sakař's relationships with relatives, his life's story and activities in Týn nad Vltavou and Pardubice. It is organized chronologically, from his birth to his death. The last part concerns itself with seeking traces of evidence of Josef Sakař in contemporary life. A separate section is devoted to an analysis of four of his key works. The work includes all biographical data and important life milestones of Josef Sakař and contains a complete bibliography.

Česká, Jana ; Kubišta, Albert (advisor) ; Andrlová Fidlerová, Alena (referee)
The thesis defines on the base of analysis The Czech Chronicle of Václav Hájek from Libočany and it's comparison with five selected sources (Kosmas' Kronika česká, The work of so called Follower's of Kosmas, The Chronicle of so called Dalimil, The Zbraslavská Chronicle and Eneas' Silvio's Historia Bohemica) the term "narace" (derived from narration), which is introduced for enclosed epic storyline found in Hájek's work. It finds relation amongst "narace", rhetoric tradition and local historiography and this way tries to place The Czech Chronicle back to the understanding of development of national literature, from where it was excluded by positivistic historians on the end of 18t h and during 19t h century.

The War in North Africa - historiographical presentation
Drda, Václav ; Nigrin, Tomáš (advisor) ; Čížek, Martin (referee)
Topic of the thesis is war in North Africa. The goal is to show a quality of Czech literature (books, magazines) focused on the situation in North Africa during the Second World War. Firstly, I present the methods of my research and show a content of the thesis. Secondly, there is a historical introduction about wars in North Africa, to give some general information to the reader. The main part, as already mentioned, is about comparing the Czech writings. General possibilities of sorting the war history according to its focus have been presented. The first part, orientated to the magazines, is divided in relation with the traditional system of military history - articles are compared in its folder. The second part - comparison of publications is organized due to a time line because all the books are examples of modern military history. The beginning of the time line is the spring Rommel's offensive in 1942. The end is demonstrated by the battle at El Alamein and a withdrawal of the Africa Corps. The conclusion contains all the knowledge about the comparisons which has been achieved during this research.

Norwegian World War II Experience - 65 Years of Its Metamorphosis
Pokorný, Ondřej ; Matějka, Ondřej (advisor) ; Svobodný, Petr (referee)
Bachelor thesis Norwegian World War II Experience - 65 Years of Its Metamorphosis examines a development of an interpretation of the Second World War in Norway. It pursues to analyze the Norwegian historiography on the background of the evolution of the same phenomenon in the area of Western Europe. From the first post-war years until the end of 1980's was the development of the Norwegian historiography confined to a generally accepted concensus which perceived the war as a struggle of the vast majority of Norwegians united in a resistance against foreign enemies and a limited group of their Norwegian henchmen. The field of the resistance was scrutinized primarily, then, in the 1970's, first research on the issue of collaboration was made. Nevertheless, the historical publications kept their black-and-white perspective of the war experience until the turn of 1980's and 1990's, when a new generation of historians broke into the research and since then it has been trying to achieve a synthesis of this dominant perspective. Moreover, this generation is focused on the grey zones of the occupation period. The thesis demonstrates that there have been striking similarities between the development in Norway and Western Europe, yet, the Norwegian historiography falls behind. Another area of interest is how...

History of the Bohemian Dominican Province in the Early New Age 1435-1790
Zouhar, Jakub ; Čornejová, Ivana (advisor) ; Petráň, Josef (referee) ; Černušák, Tomáš (referee)
This paper attempts to review the history of the Bohemian Dominican Province, specifically the history and impact of the Dominican Order on the life in the Lands of the Czech Crown at this time. There is a period of decline in prestige of the Order in the 15th and 16"' centuries but it is followed by a period of rebirth of its intellectual potency in the 17th century. The convents of the Dominican Order, as well as many of other Orders, were dissolved by the emperor Joseph II in the 1780s. I also pay close attention to the relationship between the Dominican Order and the Jesuits during the 17th and 18th centuries. The importance of this study for more detailed future research of the history of the Dominican Order is indisputable. I know of no other work dealing with this problem. I use mainly primary sources. The characteristic type of documents is Order chronicles, official documents and some historical works written by the members of the Order in the 17th and 18th century. Many of the documents are filed in the National Archive of the Czech State (Is1 department) and in the General Archive of the Dominican Order in Rome (Italy). Many of them have been unknown up to this time. In conclusion of this introduction I would like sum up that this paper has an ambition to reopen a new research and study of the...

Czech historiography at the turn of the century in dialogue with Europe (1890-1941)
Bláhová, Kateřina ; Čornej, Petr (advisor) ; Pešat, Zdeněk (referee) ; Beneš, Pavel (referee)
Dlouhé 19. století (1780-1914) je stoletím zrodu mnoha fenoménů, mimo jiné také moderní vědy. Přineslo obrat v hierarchii hodnot i v sociální stratifikaci. V jeho průběhu došlo k demokratizaci přístupu ke vzdělání i díky školským a vzdělávacím reformám, jejichž počátek tkví v tereziánském a josefínském zákonodárství. Když se na sklonku 18. století postupně z barokního polyhistorismu začínají vydělovat jednotlivé vědní disciplíny, věda a vzdělání se stávají vstupenkou mezi "novou nobilitu". Zvláště v českém prostředí, jež zoufale postrádalo - až na výjimky - českou šlechtickou reprezentaci a disponovalo jen velmi úzkou reprezentací ekonomickou, se vzdělání a vzdělávání stalo cestou k vytvoření národní elity.

Manipulation with history in historical Otakar Vávra's movies focusing on the trilogy Dny zrady, Sokolovo a Osvobození Prahy
Hodura, Pavel ; Knapík, Jiří (advisor) ; Štoll, Martin (referee)
This thesis deals with the manipulation of history in the historical film trilogy Dny zrady, Sokolovo and Osvobození Prahy, directed by Otakar Vávra. This thesis tries to define, on the basis of a comparation of historiographical works of the communist and modern historiography, the amount of historical distortion presented in these films. The normalization regime endeavoured to revise the historical knowledge of the second half of the 60s and to resume the tendencies of the communist regime of the late 40s and 50s and attempted to create a myth of perception of mordern national history, in which the positive influence of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia in the 30s and 40s was emphasized. Moreover, this myth of the perception of history aimed to discredite figures that were unwanted by the regime and to emphasize friendship with the Soviet Union. Films and tv-series were an appropriate tool to form the perception of history among the people.
