Development and Comparison of Legal Regulations Concerning the Social Insurance Systems in the Czech and Slovak Republics
Kvočáková, Lucia
The dissertation presented concerns the development trends in social security provision in the territory of the present-day independent states of the Czech and Slovak Republics, which, with only a short interruption in difficult Nazi occupation in World War II, made up the common state administration unit of Czechoslovakia, from 1918 to 1993. The dissertation continues tracing the evolution trends in the welfare system in each republic upon the dissolution of the federal state, and, finally, it focuses on the comparison of pension reforms implemented in both countries. Firstly, the developments in the legal regulations concerning social security schemes in the period preceding the First Czechoslovak Republic are studied. Both states were integral parts of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, where a social reform was implemented in 1888 in its Austrian part, known also as Taaffe's Reform. It introduced mandatory public social insurance in three separate acts. The reform was inspired by Otto von Bismarck, Chancellor of the German Reich. In 1918, after World War I, the Austro-Hungarian legislation was fully adopted by the newly formed Czechoslovakia and the burden of responsibility for all problems regarding the previous social security system assumed. Social security contributions in the period of the First...

Building the Identity of "Slovak" Modernism in Relation to the Idea of Czechoslovakism
Kvočáková, Lucia ; Rakušanová, Marie (advisor) ; Orišková, Mária (referee) ; Filipová, Marta (referee)
Dissertation thesis deals with the construction of the identity of Slovak art modernism in the period of the First Czechoslovak Republic (1918-1938) within the context of the official ideology of Czechoslovakism and in relation to Czech modern art. For many artists, theorists, and art historians in Slovakia, who, as part of the intelligentsia, felt obliged in the newly formed state to create and confirm a national identity through art, the search for Slovakness in art was crucial. This search was influenced by the nature of Czech - Slovak cultural relations, mutual misunderstandings, and stereotypes. The forms of Slovak modernism were formed in close connection with Czech modernism and at the same time as resistance to it. In this sense, we can consider the emphasis on Slovakness in the fine arts as an attempt not to merge artistically with the current of Czech art modernism. This study thus examines how national identity is constructed through the visual arts and what role plays its broader cultural and political background.

Kvočáková, Lucia ; Lahoda, Vojtěch (advisor) ; Rakušanová, Marie (referee)
Diploma thesis examines how the artist and his work can become a device of power relations illustrated by the example of one artist - Anton Jaszusch. The context of his work has changed several times over time, changing the interpretation of his work. Changes of the context were indirectly influenced by the political - social situation, which affected also the inclusion of his work in the canon of modern art in Slovakia. The thesis closely reviews the literature on the history of art from the period of the first Czechoslovak Republic until now. This review inquires the emergence and development of the phenomenon of Košice modernism and adoption of Anton Jaszusch as its leading artist. The work also analyzes available documents (periodicals, catalogs, articles and publications) in detail to refer to the aforementioned changes in the context of Jaszusch's work and its position as an device of power relations. The thesis examines the documents from three periods related to shifts in the context of Jaszusch's work. It begins in mid-twenties when an exhibition of Jaszusch's post- war series of paintings in Bratislava sparked controversy about "Slovakness" of his work. Then it continues in the Second World War period, when Košice belonged to the Kingdom of Hungary and Jaszusch was presented as...
