F. A. Šubert 1849 - 1915
Drexler, Otto ; Pokorná, Magdaléna (advisor) ; Beneš, Zdeněk (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with the biography of one important personality at the end of the 19th century - František Adolf Šubert, who was in the post of the Director of National Theatre in Prague in years 1883-1900. The main focus of the thesis is Šubert's public life and his career, as well as on his position within Czech cultural society, in the wider context of the era of that time changing Czech society and theatrical culture perception. It deals with the question, why F. A. Šubert was a subject of criticism from the journalists already during his active career as a director, and why he has never been recognized as one of the let's say "cultural heroes" of that epoch. The base of the work lies in the spring of the year 1900 - which was the year of Šubert's abdication (together with the whole theatre management). The work deals also with Šubert's personal life, which influenced his ideas and persuasion, too. This thesis is based on the then print, pieces of specialized and memoir literature, partly also archival materials (the access to the last mentioned was due to several factors rather limited).

The censorship in Bohemia in the context of the Habsburg Monarchy in the Vormärz period Petr Píša The PhD-thesis analyses and interprets the role of censorship as well as other institutional and structural mechanisms that have participated in the regulation of literary communication within the cultural sphere of the historical Czech lands (Bohemia, Moravia and Silesia). The act of censorship is understood as a set of administrative procedures controlling and regulating the literary communication that takes place in the printed media within the sphere of power of a particular social authority. On the other hand the term structural regulation is used for those types of blocked literary communication which cannot be considered for the consequence of the institutionalized power interference. The thesis is based on a triad of ideal-types of censorship - a paternalistic, liberal and authoritarian one. The key concept for the submitted thesis is the type of paternalistic censorship, which decision-making process is governed by a differentiated idea of the various categories of the public and an endeavour to strictly control the reading matter of the broad, less educated masses. The thesis also introduces and critically revises the methodological impulses of the so- called new censorship. It follows the discursive...

(in English): In my work I tried to describe genesis and progress of Prague december riots in 1897. Uprising took place in days between 29. 11. - 2. 12. and they were marked by their violence, antisemitism and rapid growth. Their end was caused by declaration of martial law in afternoon of 2. december. Except the description of events of every of four days was I looking for their common and different tendencies, and I tried to portray the spread of the demonstrations to surrounding districts and find out, if they had a leader, or were just uncontrolled masses. Further I've been trying to process the reflections of december riots in 1897 in political press. For this part I've been using Prague Czech and German liberal, realistic and social democratic newspapers. Specifically I've examined daily press Národní listy, Prager Tagblatt, Bohemia, Právo lidu and weekly press Čas. I supplied my work with illustrations from Pražský ilustrovaný kurýr as well as with caricatures from Šípy.
