Fabešová, Iveta ; Houda, Přemysl (advisor) ; Wohlmuth Markupová, Jana (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to capture the view of the first generation of skateboarders on the emergence and development of skateboarding in Czechoslovakia in the 1970s and 1980s. The research will be based on two important pillars, i.e. the explanation of the contemporary context in Czechoslovakia, with an overlap into the history of skateboarding in the USA and the qualitative method of oral history that I will use in the second pillar of the research to capture witnesses' memories. Half-structured interviews with 6 narrators, i.e. representatives of the first skateboarding generation, will be carried out within the oral history method. The source of the research will be based on interviews, scholarly literature, period articles from newspapers and periodicals and, last but not least, historical materials such as photographs or videos for a comprehensive study of the subject.

Kriššáková, Dominika ; Doskočil, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Wohlmuth Markupová, Jana (referee)
The aim of the diploma thesis is to give the most objective and comprehensive view of the personality of Dominika Tatarka primarily from the historical perspective, but also from a literary critical perspective. The view of the creation will, as far as possible, be done in cross-section, with an accent on the autobiographical features of the work, demonstrating a radical view of the communist regime. Emphasis will be given, in particular, to the period of the 70s and 80s of the 20th century with relevant time transitions. The historical perspective will seek to bring the role of the writer's community in the reform movement of the sixties of the 20th century in a wider context and to clarify the specifics of Slovak dissent, with emphasis on the position of Dominika Tatarka in it.

Identity Construction in Biographical Narratives of Re-emigrants

This study should elucidate several key aspects of the cross boarder emigration and re-emigration (be that voluntary or forced) as seen by the respective migrants themselves. In particular, those aspects are: how a long-term residence in a foreign country altered their relationship with respect to their home country, what kind of relationship the migrants developed with respect to their new country of residence and what the very act of emigration/re-emigration itself meant in the life of each individual migrant covered by this study.

In each individual case of the perceived identity change the study attempts to identify the characteristics of the changed...
