Individual-Volk Concept in Nazi Ideology: Ideological Prehistory and Nazi Power-Seizure
Chen, Qian ; Emler, David (advisor) ; Šmidrkal, Václav (referee)
The Nazi utopian ideal Volksgemeinschaft, both as a core concept in the Nazi ideology and a vocal point in German ideological history, attempting to build up the national community in the German particular way, has contributed as the key element to contrive people's consent both in achieving the Nazi power-seizure and in forming the dynamics in the Third Reich. The term itself involves, however, not only an exploration of shaping a national community of the German people united under denotations like Volk, Gemeinschaft, Volksgemeinschaft, but also redefined the boundaries and relations between the individuals within to this community. This paper aims to present the trials in the German ideological history in pursuing national unity through community building as a foreground, to put forth an explanation for Nazi reception in the interwar German circumstances: the Nazi interpretation of national community under Volksgemeinschaft, its similarities and divergencies from the former community concepts, the efficacy and power in winning public at its takeover and thirteen-year-long national practice. The analytical structure of the entire paper is tailored according to this research design, starting from national endeavor in the German ideological history, followed by extensive analysis of Weimar Germany...

The December riots 1897 in Prague
Smrček, David ; Pokorná, Magdaléna (advisor) ; Hlavačka, Milan (referee)
(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.
