Intellectual History in the Context of Czech and European Historiography in 19th and 20the Century
Čtvrtník, Mikuláš ; Beneš, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Středová, Veronika (referee) ; Horský, Jan (referee)
The main thematic scope and basis of the PhD thesis is the specific movement in the historiography called duchové dějiny (in English partly misleading translation intellectual history) in the form, in which it was developed in German speaking lands as Geistesgeschichte, and in the Czech historiography as duchové dějiny outlined by Zdeněk Kalista. In the PhD thesis duchové dějiny is put into the wide context of the development of historical thinking and methodology in the 19th and 20th century. The PhD thesis treats the subdiscipline of duchové dějiny in many perspectives and at different levels and thematically is not enclosed by the boundaries of the duchové dějiny itself. The duchové dějiny is here in a way an optics through which one line of historiography and historical thinking in the 19th and 20th century is observed, treated and interpreted. The PhD thesis also aims to connect the history and its methodology with the archivistics and archival theory. In this way proposes the thesis certain solutions. Nowadays, duchové dějiny belongs rather to the marginal movements or subdisciplines in the historiography in the Czech and German speaking lands, contrary to intellectual history in Anglophone areas. In spite of this the PhD thesis tried to show, that the duchové dějiny is still alive,...

Václav Chaloupecký Czechoslovak historian and archivist (1882-1951)
Ducháček, Milan ; Čornejová, Ivana (advisor) ; Kvaček, Robert (referee) ; Mervart, Jan (referee)
The aim of the presented PhD thesis is to deal with the historiographical legacy of Czech historian Václav Chaloupecký (1882-1951), the pupil of Josef Pekař and Jaroslav Goll. During the First Czechoslovak republic Chaloupecký kept the professorship of Czechoslovak history at the newly established Comenius University in Bratislava. His historiographical work has its basis in mediaevistic studies yet it also deals with the questions of contemporary history. The roots of his creativity, however, lie in poetry. Chaloupecký's work is often marked as "czechoslovakist" and positivist and due to this fact usually viewed as methodologically and ideologically obsolete. The aim of this thesis is to rethink Chaloupecký's historiographical legacy from the non-nationalistic and ideologically open minded point of view. The core of this critical approach is to show the stereotypes bound with Chaloupecký's name and last but not least to reveal the specific ideological background of Chaloupecký's work, its roots based in his individual experience with the Czech and Slovak cultural horizon and mainly in the marriage with the Slovak modernist poet Ľudmila Groeblová. The result should show a picture of life and work of a historian which was interrupted due to three breaks - The Great War, Second World War and the...

Havlíková, Lubomíra
This contribution is an analysis of the 20th-century Czech historiography reflecting the Czech-Serbian relationships in the Middle Ages. The author characterizes and evaluates the work (books and papers) of Czech scholars, historians and historians of law (C. Jireček, J. Šusta, F. Kavka, J. Spěváček, M. Paulová, J. Mikulka, L. Havlík, V. Hrochová, J. Cvetler etc.), more or less interesting in the medieval history of the relations between Serbian and Czech lands (Bohemia and Moravia), particularly in the three periods: from the 9th c. to the 11th c.(Moravian cyrillomethodian influences), from the 11th c. to the 12th c. (contacts between Serbian Uroš and Moravian Přemysl families), and in 14th century (relations between Roman emperor Charles IV and Serbian tsar Stephen Dušan).
