The doctoral thesis deals with comparative analysis of historical examples in the search for national identity in texts of Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk (1850-1937) and Roman Dmowski (1864-1939). Both Masaryk and Dmowski belonged to prominent representatives of public and political life in their countries at the end of the 19th and in first decades of the 20th centuries. The question of national identity is a theme often associates with their life and work. Masaryk and Dmowski influenced Czech and Polish politics, political and intellectual thought before 1914. During the First World War, they were leaders of Czechoslovak and Polish politics in West European emigration (Masaryk as the president of the Czechoslovak National Committee, Dmowski as the president of the Polish National Committee). Nevertheless, in the postwar period, their career diverged. Masaryk became president of Czechoslovakia and symbol of the Czechoslovak identity, Dmowski represented rather the opposition against mainstream development in postwar Poland. The first and the second parts of the thesis deal with Masaryk's (first part) and Dmowski's (second part) concept of historical examples in search of national identity in context of their thought and life.

Struggle for Slovakia. The separatist states in Slovakia 1918-1919
Bandžuch, Tomáš ; Doubek, Vratislav (advisor) ; Pejša, Robert (referee)
Roku 1918 se rozpadla dualistická Rakousko-Uherská říše na několik nástupnických státních útvarů. Zatímco v "rakouské" části soustátí se podařil tento přerod vcelku pokojně a jednotlivé její oblasti nastoupily poměrně rychle nezávislý vývoj, země Svatoštěpánské koruny prodělaly vletech 1918 - 1919 bouřivý přerod ze středně velkého státu s kvazivelmocenskou pozicí v malou středoevropskou zemi. Tento vývoj byl podmíněn mimo jiné rozdělením dvou třetin území bývalého Uherského království mezi okolní země. Tato práce se tedy zabývá těmito "nepokojnými léty" na Slovensku - jednom z území, nad nímž tehdy ztratila budapešťská vláda kontrolu. Neklade si pochopitelně za cíl prozkoumat v komplexnosti tuto turbulentní dobu, neboť studie takového rozsahu by byla zdaleka nad její rámec. Snaží se podchytit pouze jeden její aspekt, který je zvláště v posledních letech silně opomíjen - problém separatistických státních útvarů, které oficiálně odmítaly státoprávní spojení svého území jak s Maďarskem, tak i s Československem. A to ať se jednalo o regionální státní útvar utvořený menšinou k zajištění její svébytnosti (Nezávislá spišská republika), stát vybudovaný na národním základě (Slovenská lidová republika - SLR) či snad stvořený na revolučně-marxistické pozici (Slovenská republika rad - SRR). Tato práce má poukázat na...

Development of relations between the Union of Czechoslovak writers and the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia in the 1960s
Broučková, Kristina ; Štefek, Martin (advisor) ; Doubek, Vratislav (referee)
The objective of this bachelor thesis is to reflect key moments of the development of relations between the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia and the Union of Czechoslovak Writers in the 1960s when the cultural sphere was no more understood as autonomous but should represent ideological superstructure of the regime. The following work tends to describe the development of this uneven relation in view of the fact that yet in 1962 the party leadership considered this creative union along with its magazines to be the "gear-lever" of the regime. However, in the course of next few years the conflicts between the monopole incumbent and the creative union were escalating and eventually in 1970, after the invasion by the armies of the Warsaw Pact in 1968, led to the demise of UCW. Thus, following bachelor thesis raises questions such as; if and when, from the perspective of CPC, the Union of Czechoslovak Writers terminated to play the role of the "gear-lever" and which methods were consequently introduced by the party apparatus.
