Landscape Composition of Count Frantisek Josef Schlik and the "Landscape Creation" around the Year 1700
Rychnová, Lucie ; Biegel, Richard (advisor) ; Hojda, Zdeněk (referee) ; Macek, Petr (referee)
This thesis describes the landscape composition of Czech Count Frantisek Josef Slik (Frantz Joseph Schlik, 1656-1740) and attempts to define the influences and principles which were involved in the formation of the landscape in the manors of Kopidlno, Stare Hrady and Velis- Voksice, now in the Czech Republic, during the life of the aristocrat. Frantisek Josef Schlik ruled the manors for over 60 years and during that time he was responsible for many architectural works with considerable landscape-forming and urbanistic potential. A series of visually interlinked chapels was erected in the Velis-Voksice manor. This series included the meierhof with a little palace in Voksice. This landscape composition has been discussed especially as regards its formal design, but its connection to the Count's motivation has been less well researched, as has been the broader social and, especially, religious context in the area. Another aspect that has been put aside, or not perceived within the context of the manorial landscape, were other structures which Frantisek Josef Schlik built or which were of essential importance for the activities in the manor. These structures, meierhofs, were also significant landscape components. This dissertation first attempts to provide a biography of Frantisek Josef Schlik,...

"The stone guardian of a glorious past" The changes in the perception of the Karlštejn Castle by the Czechs and the Germans in Bohemia during the 19th and the beginning of the 20th centuries
Venclík, David ; Vlnas, Vít (advisor) ; Hojda, Zdeněk (referee) ; Petrasová, Taťána (referee)
In the thesis I have tried to capture the shifts in the perception of the Karlštejn Castle in the historical memory of the Czech and German society in a wider political-cultural context. The Czech nationalists saw the castle as a symbol of the Czech nation's fate, because the nation lived through the time of its foremost glory during the reign of Emperor Charles IV. But their symbol was mostly neglected and forgotten in their time. Amongst the Germans, the romantic idea of the Karlštejn Castle having been built according to a mythical castle known from the Holy Grail legends was widespread. The building, then in decay, was thoroughly reconstructed between the 1880s - 1890s. The reconstruction was done by the renowned architects of that time, Friedrich Schmidt and Josef Mocker. The Czech political representation promoted the renovation of the Karlštejn Castle in connection with their State-law demands, which were supposed to culminate in the reconstruction of this medieval castle and the royal coronation of the Austrian emperor with the Crown of St. Wenceslas. The medieval building was wrongly said to have been the original place where the crown jewels had been kept. In the historical memory of the German society, the Karlštejn Castle remained the remembrance of the glory of the Holy Roman Empire...

Travel Guidebooks to Prague, 1789-1914: Production, Authors, Collective Memory.
Pojar, Vojtěch ; Hojda, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Chodějovská, Eva (referee)
(in English): This study analyses Prague travel guides created in the course of the "long" 19th century. In the beginning, I outline the development of travel guides in the examined period with respect to their authors and targeted audience, and put them into the broader context of social modernisation. Subsequently, I introduce agents who stood at the birth of travel guides and demonstrate how their intentions changed within the context of the rise of modern nationalism and mass tourism. Relaying on the concept of collective memory suggested by sociologist Maurice Halbwachs, the last part of the work is based on the assumption that modernisation process enforced changes in this collective memory and that tourist guides mediate access to these past memories. That is why in these guides I focus on the question how memories of social groups relating to various "places of memory" were changing during modernisation. In this way, the presented study aims to contribute to the appreciation of travel guides as a historical source, while at the same time it offers insights on their possible scholarly utilisation.

Creation and invention of national political culture in Bohemia 1848-1868 - Mediation between social and cultural history
Shinohara, Taku ; Hlavačka, Milan (advisor) ; Hojda, Zdeněk (referee) ; Pokorný, Jiří (referee)
Creation and invention of national political culture in Bohemia 1848-1868 -Mediation between social and cultural history- (Résumé) Taku Shinohara This thesis analyzes problems of building of Czech national society on the countryside in the time from the revolution of 1848 up to the consolidation of dual monarchy in 1868. We can distinguish building process of Czech society after the abolition of servitude in 1848 into three periods: a period from 1848/49 to 1870s, a period from 1870s to the turn of the centuries, and a period from the turn of the centuries to the age of the "total wars". The first period this thesis deals with can be characterized by fundamental transformations of peasants' society after the abolition of servitude and the gradual penetration of norms and life-styles of civil society. It was rather a loose network of the local honorables, such as a network of voluntary associations and communal autonomous bodies than a solid organization of any political party that enabled the mass mobilization of national movements. This thesis emphasizes that political mobilizations of national parties (national pilgrimages, national festivities a other various manifestations) were not realized by any political purposes nor by any more or less concrete social interests in a narrow sense of the word, but by...

(in English): The practical part of this Bachelor's thesis is focused on making accessible of Inspection Protocol of the Theresian Cadastre from 1726 for the part of Prague called Lesser Town as a computerized database. The database should be useful for wide groups of researchers, who are interested in social, economic, demographic issues of Prague in the 18th Century or in its art-historical, especially building development. In the theoretical part is shortly outlined the development of the oldest czech cadasters, the situation in Lesser Town of Prague after Thirty Years' War and the distinctive position of lateral rights. The aim of following chapters is briefly summarize various types of data, which are recorded in the Inspection Protocol. In each chapter I made an attempt to set a trend, which can be noticed thanks to obtained data, especially for Lesser Town. More detailed analysis of data, which could some readers miss, would exceed the extent of Bachelor's thesis. My personal thoughts of this research are mentioned at the end of each chapter and also are outlined at the end of the work.
