Kolářová, Denisa ; Krátká, Lenka (advisor) ; Hlaváček, Jiří (referee)
The aim of the work is to extend the hitherto superficial knowledge of the history and development of the profession of Czech film stuntmen, from the 1960s to the post- revolutionary period with overlapping to the present. Using the oral history method (combined with available sources), the work will focus on professional development. Attention will be paid to the creation of a profession as such, key films or contacts with foreign productions. Other subtopics include stunt training, stunt equipment, or a woman's view of this predominantly male occupation. Topics will be reflected in pre- revolutionary and post-revolutionary years. Subsequently, the stumbling block will be evaluated by the greatest professional differences that have occurred over the years.. Key words: Stuntmen, horses, filming, oral history, dangers

The Town Tábor in the era of the "Prague's spring" and in the beginning of normalisation (1968-1970)
Rozkydalová, Pavla ; Mücke, Pavel (advisor) ; Hlaváček, Jiří (referee)
The paper primarily aims to depict the cultural life in the district city of Tábor against a background of the 1968 - 1970 historical events. The author describes, against the historical background, the individual cultural events and the life of the city, as well as the influence of political events which had the result that the city, and indeed the entire country, returned to the era preceding the "golden sixties". Employing the method of oral history, the author has interviewed narrators who had a proactive relationship to the cultural events in the city. Their testimonies were used as a basis for selecting topics which illustrate the cultural movement in the late 1960s as a period of liberalisation ending with normalisation which suppressed the cultural development of the city; the author especially invokes those events which were irreconcilable with the subsequent political developments in the country. The paper also refers to other resources which outline the atmosphere of the era, namely resources provided by the political authorities of the city and the Tábor City Chronicle. Using the testimonies provided by the narrators and the archival resources, the author has endeavoured to paint the most accurate picture of the atmosphere surrounding the events happening in the city in the said period....
