Racial problems in Cuba and the USA during 60s in the 20th century
Brychtová, Michala ; Křížová, Markéta (referee) ; Opatrný, Josef (advisor)
This masters thesis discourse analyzes the racial problems in Cuba and the USA during the 1960s. The main goal of this thesis is to analyze racial problems in Cuba and the USA during the 1960s while referencing the historical background of both countries and then comparing these results in order to find their appropriate influences. At the beginning of the 1960s, Fidel Castro claimed that racism was a nonissue in Cuba's society while in the USA there were still segregation laws discriminating against African Americans. President John F. Kennedy had to solve the racial problem while there was a new Soviet threat on the international field. Cuban authorities soon realized that African Americans could be a valuable ally and that racism was a formidable political weapon to combat the negative campaign waged by the U.S. press against the revolutionary government. Historical analysis is done differently in Cuba than in the USA with regard to the abolishment of slavery when negroes found their own liberty and assimilated into the mainstream population. For further understanding this master thesis discusses this separately in four chapters. I applied casual historical methods normally used by historians in their writing as historiography analysis and logical-historical methods.

Zourek, Michal ; Křížová, Markéta (referee) ; Opatrný, Josef (advisor)
Author of the thesis is concerned with the reflection of Eastern Europe in the political and social life in Chile between years 1917 - 1947 that is in the period between Russian revolution and the beginning of the Cold War. He is describing the official relations, diplomatics and economics, as well as contacts on unofficial level, i.e. political and social. His primary focus lies on the Chilean left thought, especially communism, as an extraordinary strong bond between such distant regions. In this context he is observing historical and ideological genesis of these left-wing streams. Besides that, he is analyzing international matters that were helping (Russian revolution, the Frente Popular government) or hindering (North American influence, political climate after World War II) the penetration of the Eastern European world into the Chilean society.

Moudrá, Veronika ; Binková, Simona (referee) ; Křížová, Markéta (advisor)
Subject of Frida Kahlo, Mexican and popular art is theme of my master's thesis "Inspiration in the art work of Frida Kahlo" for The Institute of The Ibero - American Studies at The Charles University in Prague. I dissert on researching whether pre- Columbian symbols, popular art, religious or everyday motives are present in the artwork of Frida Kahlo. This analyse is completed with pictorial analyse. This thesis is focused on social studies especially on Mexican art and traditions. My thesis reveal in broad picture of nationalistic tendencies in context of Mexican revolution at the beginning of the 20th century. My thesis is not focused only to the life of Frida Kahlo, analysis of her artwork but I've tried to write a complete vision of the woman whose work has been a part of a wider art stream - specific conditions that had accompanied social changes in early 20th century. The author I mentioned is not just a follower. The author broke existing limits with her very personal conception.
