Philippine Welser between Czech-language and German-language historical Memory
Boumová, Eliška ; Šedivá Koldinská, Marie (advisor) ; Hausenblasová, Jaroslava (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with the life story of Philippine Welser (1527-1580), the ignoble wife of Ferdinand II., Archduke of Austria (1529-1595), as a subject for literary, theatrical and visual inspiration. The thesis draws on sources dating from the 16th century to the present and it also maps how castle and chateau expositions treat the topic. The methodology is based on the Czech tradition of exploration of Second Life. Comparison of sources of linguistically Czech and German-speaking environments yielded findings that these two traditions differ, each emphasizes a different part of life of Philippine Welser while both cope with aspects that the Czech National Revival, as well as the disintegration of the Austrian monarchy and development in the twentieth century brought.

Futtera, Ladislav ; Šmahelová, Hana (advisor) ; Zbytovský, Štěpán (referee)
This thesis concentrates on the capturing of the development trends of evens of the representation of the Czech prehistory in the fiction and of its conception in the historiography. The term 'Czech prehistory' is approached in terms of the Czech tales, with emphasis laid on the character of Princess Libuše. The span of the thesis reaches from the Englightenment critic of Václav Hájek z Libočan's Kronika česká (Czech chronicle) by Gelasius Dobner to the argument about the authenticity of the Rukopis královédvorský (Manuscript from Dvůr Králové) and the Rukopis zelenohorský (Manuscript from Zelená hora) in the 1880s. Both cases resulted in reassessment of the relation to the stories from the Czech prehistory by the contemporary society. The first chapter, after introducing the topic, deals with critique of the Václav Hájek's Chronicle by Gelasius Dobner, which changed the relation to the Czech prehistory in the historiography of the Czech coutries, and the philosophy of Johann Gottfried Herder, which opened the way to the establishment of the modern nations, based on the language. The national communities were afterwords established based on their history and the stories about their origin. The next chapters pursue the adaptation of the material about the Czech prehistory in the German literature,...
