Vaňková, Markéta ; Uherek, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Moravcová, Mirjam (referee)
The thesis results from a qualitative anthropological research conducted in the border area of Šluknovský výběžek. The research subject is the construction and representation of local identites by the inhabitants of the borderland. The first part of the thesis contains an analyzis of local identity construction by the people who migrated into the studied area in the 2nd half of the 20th century. The key concept of this part is the concept of narrativity. The author analyzes the potential re-territorialization of local identity of new settlers as well as the geographical demarcation of the local identity with regard to the near national borderline. Furthermore, there are described distinct post-migration adaptation strategies of the new settlers. In the second part the author focuses on the public representations of the studied area by local activists. Three different projects aspiring to represent and thus establish the studied area as an internally homogenous (trans-border) region are analyzed. Thereby the thesis refers to the issue of the European Union and interconnected idea of European regionalism.

Bandits and robbers in Central Europe, 18th to 20th century: reality and tradition in a comparative analysis
Votruba, Adam ; Klusáková, Luďa (advisor) ; Maur, Eduard (referee) ; Moravcová, Mirjam (referee)
Za téma své práce jsem si vybral zbojnictví a loupežnictví ve Střední Evropě. Zajímal mě především vztah mezi historickou realitou a ústní tradicí o zbojnících a loupežnících. Snažil jsem se odpovědět na otázku, jakým způsobem a zda vůbec se kulturní a sociální realita tohoto jevu odrážela ve vyprávění a písních venkovského obyvatelstva. Základním předpokladem byla myšlenka, že zbojnictví definované jakožto ,,loupežná činnost venkovského obyvatelstva, která je tolerována či schvalována venkovskou komunitou;· se musela v ústní tradici zobrazit odlišně než jiné typy loupežnictví, kdy je mezi loupežníkem a venkovanem nepřátelství. Samozřejmě jsem nepředpokládal, že tímto odrazem je prostá idealizace loupežníků, kteří podle legendy "bohatým brali a chudým dávali". Především jsem chtěl podrobit kritickému zkoumání předpoklad, který se objevuje v západoslovanské odborné literatuře, že totiž zbojnictví a zbojnická tradice se vyskytují ve Střední Evropě pouze v karpatské oblasti. Je totiž zřejmé, že legendy o dobrých loupežnících se běžně vyskytovaly i mimo tuto oblast. Pokud budeme definovat zbojnickou tradici na základě idealizace loupežníků, pak tedy tato teze neuspěje. Někteří slovenští badatelé se pokoušeli tento rozpor vyřešit tím, že poukazovali na nelidový původ mimokarpatské loupežnické tradice či...

Jirka, Luděk ; Kandert, Josef (advisor) ; Uherek, Zdeněk (referee) ; Moravcová, Mirjam (referee)
This work deals with transnational ties of reemigrated Volhynian Czechs and ethnic return migration of descendants of non-reemigrated Volhynian Czechs. Dissertation was founded on fieldwork in West Ukraine and in the Czech Republic. Researches of reemigrated Volhynian Czechs were studied in terms of integration or adaptation into the Czech (Czechoslovak) society, but this work, in first part, critically shows immigration narrative of Czech (Czechoslovak) social sciences; there were also transnational ties to Ukraine to which reemigrated Volhynian Czech refers as a meaningful. Next part of this work deals with ethnic return migration of descendants of non-reemigrated Volhynian Czechs. Descendants of compatriots have with Ukrainian ethnic consciousness, but Czech state allows them short-term and long-term stays in the Czech Republic thanks to ancestors, so that they are attracted with Czech surroundings, express wishes to migrate into the Czech Republic and they even could obtain permanent residency more easily due to Czech ancestors. Czech state facilitates migration flow from West Ukraine to the Czech Republic according to presume "closeness" of descendants of compatriots to Czech nation. Common reference of Czech social sciences and Czech state is nationalism which products social reality....
