Alien's registration office
Libichová, Lenka ; Tomandl, Miloš (referee) ; Šatava, Leoš (advisor)
This Bachelor's thesis deals with the relationship between immigrants and the Alien's Registration Office in the Czech Republic. The thesis should be divided into two parts. The first one - Chapters 2 and 3 - summarizes the theoretical view. That is the structure and the history of the Alien's Registration Office, the structure of the immigrants and the introduction to the legal issues. However, the Alien's Registration Office is developing and the laws are changing very quickly, so the thesis is going to be past. The second part - Chapters 4 and 5 - deals with the practical problems of the Alien's Registration Office reflected in the mass media and literature and also includes the field research. The most criticized problems are the queues associated with a long waiting, a shortage of officers which are often unpleasant and the clientelism which is associated with bribery. The Alien's Registration Office tries to solve these problems, but it is a 'fight' for a long time.

Czech techno subculture on change of the century
Zeman, Daniel ; Pargač, Jan (advisor) ; Tomandl, Miloš (referee)
Techno subculture has often been discussed in public and media in the last decade. Police intervention during CZECHTEK 2005 raised the question within the excited discussion: "What is the essence of techno"? The overflow of unprofessional explanations published in media, following the incident, created the demand on serious explanation of the phenomenon. This work tries to explain the phenomenon of subcultures genesis with the help of theory outlined by Van Gennep and further extended by Victor Turner, i.e. subcultures are understood as archetypal continuation of initiation rituals in modern industrial society. Techno party is a ritual way how to create the anti-structure area and establish a liminoid environment in which the adolescents realize their relativity through the changed status of mind and they develop the attitudes to each other as well as within the society. As any social phenomenon fulfils more functions at the same time, this interpretation must be considered as one of the possible explanations. Furthermore also the work of Michel Maffesoli and the idea of neotribalism are taken into consideration. This work also reflects the evolution of subcultures from the beginning to the present and at the same time it reflects the studies of the Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies in Birmingham and...

Family roles and migration: the case of Afghan families living in the Czech Republic
Lomová, Ester ; Tomandl, Miloš (referee) ; Skupnik, Jaroslav (advisor)
The topic of this thesis is the issue of family roles of man and woman in the context of change that can be caused by migration. The basic assumption is that the dominant socio-cultural structure is influencing the socio-cultural structure of immigrants. This influence is the cause of social change in the lives of immigrants. The questions formulated in this thesis are: What changes are occurring on the level of family life? Which factors are these changes influencing? What the changes mean for the actors themselves? The answers are sought with the help of scientific literature and the results of interviews done with Afghan immigrants living in the Czech Republic.

Changes in gastronomical behaviour of miners in Kladensko (with focus on Vinarice village)
Žvachtová, Pavla ; Tomandl, Miloš (referee) ; Štěpánová, Irena (referee)
Kladno region as a well-known industrial area (black coal mines, steelworks, etc.) started to grow in the second half of the 19th century. Following the industrial development of this area, there was a great professional imigration (from the whole Czech region). As a result of this imigration, social habits of the original inhabitants of the agricultural Kladno and those of the newcomers started to mix and a new specific Kladno "worker's" culture started to form. It changed many times, particularly within the context of economic and political development, however its roots originate in the 19th century. Kladno miners' culture experienced one of essential changes after 1990 when the whole region went through a social transformation resulting from the alterations in the industrial sphere. The steel production (POLDI) and mainly the coal mine production declined during the nineties (the last coal mine was closed in 2002). These changes showed in everyday lives of the people in the area. They distinctively affected the people involved in these changes, namely the people employed in Kladno businesses (the majority of whom lost their jobs and who in comparison with the period before 1990 lost their social status). Implicitly the economic transformation affected the rest of the population of Kladno. This thesis...

Location and literature - a castle of Vrchotovy Janovice. Literary-antropological study with evaluation of prerious interpretations
Bažant, Andrej ; Tomandl, Miloš (referee) ; Vrhel, František (advisor)
The subject of this study is a small castle ofVrchotovy Janovice and its last owner, baroness Sidonie Nadherna. Originally a medieval fortress, during 18th and 19th century it was turned into a romantic chateau surrounded by an impressive landscape park. The last owner of the castle, baroness Sidonie Nadherna (1885 - 1950), a highly educated and independent woman, became a close friend of the two outstanding figures of Central European culture, poet Rainer Maria Rilke and essayist and critic Karl Kraus. Both were visiting the castle and for both it became an inspiration in their writing. During the WWII, the castle served as the headquarters of SS-troops and after a short period of attempts to recover it, Sidonie Nadherna left to exile in England in 1949. Throughout following years, castle and park were subject to gradual devastation, its owner being almost forgotten. Fortunately, in late 1950's, it became a property of National Museum. In the early 1960's letters to Sidonie from both Rilke and Kraus were published and became an important resource for studies of their lives. Especially by Karl Kraus, the publishing of the letters revealed many yet unknown aspects of his personality and writing. For him, the relation to Sidonie Nadherna and his stays in park of Janovice, were the very impulse to create his...

The analysis of ethnical relations and regionalism in the northeast Slovakia
Hynčica, Pavel ; Tomandl, Miloš (referee) ; Pargač, Jan (advisor)
The analysis of ethnic relations and regionalism in North-east Slovakia There is very complicated ethnic situation in North-east Slovakia, where more ethnic and religious groups live (Slovaks, Rutheniens, Ukrainians, greek-catholics). National identification of citizens of North-east Slovakia is very questionable, because historical development of these ethnic groups was complicated (ethnogenesis, conflicts between ruthenians and ukrainians conceptions, relations between ethnic and religious identification) and also there are very important geographic, economic and cultural determinations of this ethic relations. North-east Slovakia is very specific region (remote situation, archaic elements in culture and civic life, importance of religion and traditions).

Village self-government in the beginning of 20th century in Libice nad Cidlinou
Vinduška, Jan ; Tomandl, Miloš (referee) ; Pargač, Jan (referee)
Uvedení v život obecní samosprávy v roce 1850 mělo obrovský význam jak pro samotné obyvatele obcí a měst, tak pro pozitivní vývoj celé společnosti. Obce i města dostala možnost se samostatně rozvíjet dle svých potřeb bez nutnosti neomezeného diktátu zvenčí, za předpokladu, že představitelé obcí a měst se budou řídit danými zákonnými normami. Zásady na nichž měl být vybudován první obecní zákon v habsburské monarchii a které byly císařem zaručeny jako základní práva svobodné obce, obsahovalo IV. oddělení říšské ústavy ze dne 4. března 1849 v § 33 a znějí následovně: a) Volení zastupitelů obce; b) Přijímání nových údů (občanů) do spolku obecního; c) Samostatné řízení obecních záležitostí; d) Uveřejňování výsledků obecního hospodaření; e) Veřejná jednání obecních zastupitelů. Těchto několik důležitých bodů pro vznik obecní samosprávy je základním motem předkládané studie. Jak již sám název napovídá, hlavním cílem této práce je snaha o interpretaci přesně specifikované vesnické samosprávy počátkem 20. století na Poděbradsku. Vedle konkrétního vzniku obecního výboru a orgánů obce na základě voleb se budeme zabývat také vymezením hlavních činností představenstva (prezentovaného starostou obce), obecního výboru a dalšími aktivitami úzce souvisejícími s obecní samosprávou. Obecní samospráva totiž dala občanům do...
