The Prose by Otakar Batlička and Its Critical Feedback in a Context of Development of Czech Adventurous Literature
Hakenová, Barbora ; Čeňková, Jana (advisor) ; Suk, Pavel (referee)
The diploma thesis Otakar Batlička's prosaic writings and its critical feedbacks in the context of Czech adventure literature focus on a development of the Czech adventurous literature and on Batlička's texts which were published at first in the teenage magazine Mladý hlasatel during the World War the Second. After his dead were published not only in magazines for teenagers (Pionýrská stezka, Sedmička pionýrů aj.), but also in book anthologies of Batlička's stories (from 60's). Batlička's stories are specified by their short extent, terse plot, punchline of the story, the absence of female characters and they take place mostly in exotic parts of the South America. The thesis mentions also critical feedbacks published in magazines Zlatý máj, Červený květ, Literární noviny, Ostravský kulturní zpravodaj, Hlas revoluce etc. and refers to illustrators of the Batlička's stories. The thesis thinks about a position of adventure literature in a context of nowaday book production for children and teenagers and for this decade of 21st century are typical mainly novels about post-apocalyptic vision of fictional future world. Narrations from exotic setting are not so atractive maybe because of too easy accessibility of far regions for contemporary man, the absence of secret and commercialization of the mentioned...

Main events happened in Plzeň in 1989 and their reflection in the local daily Pravda
Nová, Alena ; Suk, Pavel (advisor) ; Köpplová, Barbara (referee)
This diploma thesis strives to find an answer to the question of how the regional daily paper Pravda published by the West-Bohemian Regional Committee of KSČ in Pilsen informed about the principal events of the year 1989, namely the series of January demonstrations in the centre of Prague later called "Palach Week", about the Several Sentences Petition published in the midyear by Charter 77, about the demonstrations organized on the occasions of the 21 August 1968 and 28 October 1918 anniversaries, and about the "Velvet Revolution" that put an end to the more than 40-year reign of the Communist Party (KSČ) in Czechoslovakia. The thesis also ascertains to what extent the information provided by Pravda was distorted by the regime propaganda, and compares the approach of this daily paper to informing about the principal 1989 events with that of the central KSČ daily Rudé právo. The diploma thesis also describes the way of how the West-Bohemian Regional Committee of KSČ in Pilsen assessed the development of the political situation in the country in the year 1989 and how it controlled the Pravda daily paper. The theoretical part of the thesis familiarizes with the political and economic situation in Czechoslovakia in the 1980s and describes the relevant milestones in 1989. The thesis core part is the...

The press office of the supervisory service and its activities in selected case studies in the years 1938-1945
Ludvík, Matěj ; Cebe, Jan (advisor) ; Suk, Pavel (referee)
In the period of the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia between years 1939 - 1945 media, as well as the whole society, were controlled by the government of Nazi Germany. The control also included censorship of the press that operated for the benefit of the occupying power. Its essential component, Central Press Supervisory Service, had to approve every issue before it released to the press. But it also published daily instructions for the newsrooms, where two censors operated together with working journalists and their editors in chief. Our work uses four case studies to show how censor's directives influenced the final form of the selected newspapers.

Protectorate magazines and attachments of daily press for children and youth as a tool of Nazi propaganda
Suk, Pavel ; Köpplová, Barbara (advisor) ; Gebhart, Jiří (referee) ; Jiroušek, Bohumil (referee)
The work attempts to analyze manifestations and the possible impact of Nazi propaganda in two stages of the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia. As to daily press the children's annex of Národní politika (National Politics -the most widely read periodical) and Lidové noviny (People's Press - a prestigious and independent newspaper close to the Castle during 1st Republic) have been analyzed. As to periodicals published during the first phase of the protectorate (until the arrest of Prime Minister Alois Eliáš in September 1941) the magazine Mladý hlasatel (Young Announcer) and Dětská neděle (Children's Sunday Magazine) which began to be published in 1935 were chosen and analyzed. The second phase of the protectorate was tightly associated with the establishment and existence of the Curatorium for Education of Bohemian and Moravian Youth and therefore its periodicals Zteč (Charge), Správný kluk (Good Boy) and Dívčí svět (Girl's world) were analyzed together with Knihovna pro mládež (Youth Library) issued by the Curatorium later. The work's objective is to display ways of Nazi propaganda targeted at children and teenagers under 18 years of age. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Nástup červenobílých a Vlajka in the period from 1939 to 1940
Otcovská, Karolina ; Cebe, Jan (advisor) ; Suk, Pavel (referee)
This diploma thesis focuses on two periodicals that were published simultaneously during 1939-1940, i.e. in the initial period of the so-called Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia. Both periodicals presented themselves as press platforms of the sympathizers of fascist groups. One of the periodicals related to the pre-war fascist group Červenobílí and the other referred to a fascist movement called Vlajka. Despite seemingly similar orientations, the magazines got themselves into a dispute that resulted in an extensive press campaign. The aim of my thesis is the detailed analysis of this campaign. Most of the people concentrated around Nástup Červenobílých magazine were active in the committee of Národní souručenství (the only legal Czech political organization of that time), or in its satellite institutions. Nástup Červenobílých thus acted loyally towards Národní souručenství and was financed by its leading officials. Vlajka magazine, on the contrary, was against Národní souručenství from the beginning, which was reflected in the attacks on Nástup Červenobílých. The press campaign was led on the level of personal insults and the main protagonists were Zdeněk Zástěra, publisher of Nástup Červenobílých, and Jan Rys with Josef Burda on the other side, both Vlajka officials. Both magazines used various...
