Exploration of The Current State of The Silesian Regional Identity by Inhabitants of Český Těšín and Cieszyn
Jacková, Daniela ; Lepič, Martin (advisor) ; Siwek, Tadeusz (referee)
This thesis explores the current state of the Silesian regional identity in the inhabitants of the cities Český Těšín in Czechia and Cieszyn in Poland. It explores and analyses the dynamics of Silesian regional identity in the context of the official Czech and Polish national identity. It does so in relation to the territory of the historical region of Těšín. More specifically, it uses the case of the historical town of Těšín, today's Český Těšín and Cieszyn, which it examines simultaneously. The thesis thus focuses on tracing the development of Silesian regional identity and addresses the factors that may influence it. It does so by means of a questionnaire survey and subsequent evaluation of the data obtained through statistical analysis. It also deals with intergenerational differences in the perception of this identity in the context of the use of the Těšín dialect. The findings will help us uncover factors that may influence the local Silesian regional identity and thus enable us to understand it better. Overall, the thesis shows hat the identity of the inhabitants of Český Těšín/Cieszyn is very complex and is influenced by history, ethnic diction, place, and cultural ties, with the Těšín dialect and family ties playing a key role in maintaining this regional identity. Key words Silesian...

The Atheization Policy of the Czechoslovak Republic from the End of 1940s to the Mid-1950s Illustrated on the Example of the Historical Regional Media
Muroň, Filip ; Köpplová, Barbara (advisor) ; Knapík, Jiří (referee)
The diploma thesis entitled The Atheization Policy of the Czechoslovak Republic from the End of 1940s to the Mid-1950s Illustrated on the Example of the Historical Regional Media introduces to the reader how Marxist-Leninist ideologies approached the topic of atheism and the process of atheization, and how they presented this worldview to the popular masses. The reader will also learn about the region of Teschen Silesia (where the research is based), its media and the media system established in Czechoslovakia at the time under discussion. The work also reflects on the post-war rise of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia and its coup in 1948. The practical part of the thesis then reflects how the editors of the selected media (the widely available regional daily Nová svoboda, the newspaper of the Polish minority Głos Ludu and the company magazine Třinecký hutník) published topics that were supposed to lead their readers to secularization from 1948 to 1952. However, it is clear from the conclusions of the individual editions that the promotion of scientific atheism had minimal space, and the editors focused primarily on international, domestic social and political events. As time went on, however, even these contributions dwindled. Judicial monster trials of inconvenient clerics were also...

The issue of regional identity of the inhabitants of the Czech region Těšínsko and its reflection in the documentary Hranice po našimu
Myšáková, Kateřina ; Klípa, Ondřej (advisor) ; Kochnowski, Roman (referee)
The diploma thesis deals with the issue of regional identity of the inhabitants of the Czech part of Teschen Silesia in connection with the documentary film Hranice po našimu. The aim of the thesis is to analyse the reaction of local inhabitants to this documentary and to trace how the topic of identity and local dialect was represented both in the discussion and the film itself. The reaction of the locals is analysed mainly using the internet discussion which developed on the Czech Television's official website after the broadcast of the film, as well as using available journalistic articles and official statements of Teschen institutions. The thesis also focuses on the inclination of some local inhabitants to create a regional form of identity which can replace the identification with cultures of the nation states. The thesis is based on the hypothesis that the creation of such regional identity is one of the possible escape strategies the locals might use to avoid a certain form of ethnic diction. This regional identity carries its own cultural elements, one of the most significant being the aforementioned local dialect which the thesis concentrates on.

Czechoslovak-Polish Relations and Cieszyn Silesia
Berousková, Karolína ; Doubek, Vratislav (advisor) ; Goněc, Vladimír (referee)
Czechoslovakia-Poland relations were immediately after their establishment influenced by the territorial dispute concerning the region of Teschen Silesia. The dispute lasted two years. What were the main causes of the conflict? Was the conflict caused by the mixed national composition on the territory of Teschen Silesia or by Czechoslovak and Polish political ambitions in Central and Eastern Europe? The study is based on the analysis of historical sources and scientific literature. It follows the formation of conflict lines and subsequent escalation of the conflict. Thesis is divided into two parts. First part represents internal dimension of the conflict, it focuses on the historical connection of Teschen Silesia and describes it as a distinctive territorial unit with special emphasis on selfperception of its inhabitants. It clarifies the mental shift from the identity which is perceived on the basis of social status to the identity based on the affiliation to the nation, which is later embodied by the establishment of Czechoslovakia and Poland. Second part of the Thesis turns its attention to the external, international dimension of the conflict, i.e. mutual Czechoslovak-Polish negotiations, genesis of their attitudes and the role of the Entente powers and decisive bodies of the Paris Peace...
