Quiet revolution: Transformation of the Francophone Identity of Quebec
Denemark, Jan ; Fiřtová, Magdalena (advisor) ; Hornát, Jan (referee)
This diploma thesis is covering Québec's policy and Quebec's change of identity from the era of the Quiet revolution. This work covers the changes that were a crucial in the creation of Québec's policy and national identity. From the time of the Quiet revolution in the 60's of the 20th century the society in Québec came through a drastic identity change. And not only in the province itself but also in the whole country of Canada. Because of this change, Québec refused the Canadian policy of multiculturalism. Canadian official policy does not accept Québec as a distinct society and also refuses the principle of the two-nation Canada. Therefore, Québec created its own policy of integration called interculturalism. In the analysis of the development of identity and nationalism, the methodology is a critical examination of the empirical experiences of Québec and the theses of the theoretical concepts of Charles Taylor and Will Kymlicka. It was necessary to study Taylor's and Kymlicka's theses on multiculturalism, identity, communitarianism, and liberalism as a starting point for analyzing the development of Québec. It was important to formulate definitions of identity, nation, and multiculturalism, to determine the main categories of content, and to analyze the development of the Québec identity during...

Quebec Integration Policy since Quiet Revolution
Pluhařová, Jana ; Fiřtová, Magdalena (advisor) ; Perottino, Michel (referee)
This Bachelor thesis deals with the issue of Quebec integration policy since the Quiet Revolution. Analyzing the dynamics between immigration, identity and integration in Quebec, it suggests that the changing identity played a central role in the formulation of Quebec integration policy. The thesis aims to discover whether Quebec identity and its transformation determined the formation of the integration policy and also tries to determine how the transformation of ethnic to civic identity influenced the integration policy. After the Quiet Revolution in the 1960s, Quebec passed through a dynamic transformation of its identity not only in relation to the federal state of Canada, but also in relation to itself. Situated as a nation within a nation, Quebec is in a unique position. The provincial government decided to reject the Canadian federal policy of multiculturalism, which does not recognize Quebecers as a distinct ethnic group and rejects the principle of a bicultural Canada. Quebec has introduced its own integration model called interculturalism, which was influenced by its dichotomic identity and its transformation.

"Special relationship" between Quebec and France in the 1950s and 1960s
Onderková, Kristýna ; Fiřtová, Magdalena (advisor) ; Tomalová, Eliška (referee)
Canadian francophone province Quebec is tied to the French Republic not only thanks to their common history and language but also because of a very specific long-term international and political cooperation both within the Francophonie and beyond it. This bachelor thesis "Special relationship" between Quebec and France in 1950s and 1960s tries to prove that there really existed a "special relationship" between France and Quebec in the 1950s and 1960s which is in many ways similar to the "special relationship" between the United States of America and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. The period is specific due to the coincidence of two important events: the victory of Jean Lesage's Liberals that started the Quiet Revolution in Quebec on one hand and the French presidency of General Charles de Gaulle, the biggest defender of good relations between France and Quebec on the other hand. Based on careful research of their political, diplomatic, cultural and economic relations during this special period, the thesis analyses to what extent the "special relationship" strengthened Quebec's self-confidence, supported the promotion of Quebec's interests within Canada, helped Quebec in its struggle for being recognized by much more countries and directed this province towards fighting...
