The Expansion of Czech Capital to Serbia in 1900-1918 and its Political Aspects: The Case of Pražská úvěrní banka
Arlt, Jan ; Šístek, František (advisor) ; Velek, Luboš (referee)
This work is devoted to the export of Czech financial capital by nationally Czech banks to the Kingdom of Serbia between 1900 and 1918 and the political aspects of their activities there. The political side of these activities, which was strongly determined by the geopolitical circumstances of the time, especially the deteriorating relations between Austria-Hungary and Serbia and the subsequent outbreak of the First World War, is examined here in the case of the most successful Czech financial institution operating in this Balkan state, Pražská úvěrní banka. The involvement of this institution in political activities, which include, among other things, the connections of the representatives of its branch in Belgrade to the so-called "Serbophile" movement, and their consequences after the occupation of Serbia by the armies of the Central Powers during the First World War, are illustrated here mainly by the interesting personal stories of specific actors of capital export and members of the Czech emancipation movement.

Doležal, Kryštof ; Klimeš, Ivan (advisor) ; Czesany Dvořáková, Tereza (referee)
! Warriors of Faith is the first Czechoslovak colored feature film, which narrates the final stage of Hussite Wars. This film should approved the legitimacy of nationalized cinematography and beca- me the representative work of the Czechoslovak art. This movie fitted in the nationalistic folklore of Czech culture, hussite tradition and allowed the argumentation against Germans, liberals and to em- phasize other aspects of Czech nationalism. Cinematography and press were the most important mass media in those days and were regulated or controlled by the government of National Front. The aim of this bachelor thesis is to clarify (through media analysis) in what matter the press reflec- ted the movie, or rather in what sense resonated the Czech nationalism in the selected texts.
