Although their work mostly describes the same historical period, the one's characteristics often differ to facts described in the work of the second.

Pinkas, Jaroslav ; Činátl, Kamil (advisor) ; Bílek, Petr (referee) ; Beneš, Zdeněk (referee)
This work focuses on the social practice of recollection, the so-called standardization in public sphere and possibilities to grasp this subject in history teaching. The aim is to describe this practice and at the same time, to define effective methods of its thematization in school environment. In the first part, I am concerned with the concepts of memory from Maurice Halbwachs to Alison Landsberg and I emphasize my preference for the concept of media memory as the basis for my further researches. Furthermore, I analyse models of historical education in Anglo-American environment on the one hand and German environment on the other hand. I analyse the strong and weak points of these models based on the concept of "historical thinking" and "historical consciousness". In the second part, I analyse the resemblance of memoir characters to the so-called standardization in movie presentations and their perception by users of the movie site www.csfd.cz. The objective of this analysis was to point out to the fact how we communicate about movies and which values are associated with watching movies. I linked the analysis of movie images and their perception to the idea of dominant cultural formations of the Czech society in Michael Kennedy's mind. I have analysed four movies, which, in my opinion, represent...

Sixta, Václav ; Štaif, Jiří (advisor) ; Beneš, Zdeněk (referee)
The thesis is dealing with the term "representation of historian" on the example of czechoslovakian historiography of the first half of twentieth century. For understanding of this work is important the context of my bachelor thesis, which dealed with the same problem using quantitative approaches on Kulturní adresář (Culture adressary) written by Antonín Dolenský. This thesis is an antropologization of the same issue in the meaning og underscoring the multiplicity of representations and its independence on the macroperspective of usual interpretations of czechoslovakian historiography. This perspective is enabled by choosen sources, which are texts of three historians - schoolmates, who studied together field of study history - geography on the Faculty of arts of Charles university. But their careers had differnt ways. Fridolín Macháček was during his whole professional life connected with Plzeň and its archive, Josef Pešek was teacher on high school in Prague (Akademické gymnázium) and historian of east bohemia and last but not least Václav Chaloupecký archivist in Roudnice nad Labem, professor of czekoslovakian history at university in Bratislava and than in Prague.

The Golden Age of Martial Arts of Europe
Šlapák, Vojtěch ; Čechura, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Beneš, Zdeněk (referee)
The goal of this thesis is to depict the golden era of European martial arts, which I consider to have developed in the "long" sixteenth century.This century is probably the most diverse one in European history in terms of weaponsused and fighting stylesintroduced. It was permeated by the fading phenomenon of chivalry, which last showed up in its full glory. Also, it is the age of mercenaries gloriously mastering the battlefields with their often dishonest, though effective tactics. But early modernperiod was anera of another victory, too. It was the beginning of a new type of warrior. Old medieval fencing was overcome by nimble styles arriving from Mediterranean area. The journey of these technical styles was one full of Renaissance spontaneity but also blood from thousands of duels. In Czech lands,this turning pointis already chronicledintheera of Rudolph II., which was a haven for various arts. Key words: Boxing - Cord - Duel - Europe - Fencing - Giacomo di Grassi - Knight - Mercenary - Nicolaes Petter - Pankration - Renaissance - Salvatore Fabris - Sword - Swordplay - Swordsman - Talhofer - Weapons - Wrestling
