This dissertation pays attention to opinions of parents and students on the prestige of various types of education on secondary schools in Písek. The dissertation presents conclusions of several Czech as well as international studies, dealing with the matter of secondary school education. Further on it describes some circumstances influencing secondary school education. It also introduces historical development and the present of Czech secondary school education and the system of secondary school education in some of other European states. It characterises various secondary schools in Písek and also looks at a secondary school student from the psycho-sociological point of view. The data obtained from a personal qualitative research are further on interpreted an evaluated and in the following discussion compared with the findings of the initial research. The most prestigious type of secondary education amongst students as well as their parents is general secondary school education followed by specialized secondary school education and finally vocational education. It is evident that the parents' evaluation differs and is also influenced by the importance for further professional life. Cultural capital also plays a very important role. Parents prefer the type of specialized secondary school education followed by a graduation exam. The prestige of all types of secondary school education has recently been decreasing especially due to the absence of entrance examinations and badly established education financing system and a high number of private secondary schools.

Is there only one Cultural Capital? Cultural Resources in Class Reproduction and Identity
Šafr, Jiří
The author discusses typology distinguishing highbrow/distinctive and cognitive type of cultural capital. The two orientations are empirically demonstrated on formation of symbolic cultural boundaries (class identity) and intergenerational status/cultural capital reproduction using data from the survey "Distinction and Values" (2008) which surveyed cohorts ages 30–34. First, the results confirm hypothesis of class homology (distinct social space) regarding leisure activities, media consumption and value of conspicuous consumption. Second, occupational status attainment (ISEI) is influenced, besides education attainment and parental education, by participation in extracurricular activities and partly by cognitive cultural capital (early acquisition of reading habits). As regards cultural capital formation (highbrow taste and cultural knowledge), it is partly inherited but still, it can be accumulated by individuals own effort and sense of natural aesthetics taste.

The Journey of the Literary Canon
YAKIMOVA, Vera Hristova
The PhD thesis The Journey of the Literary Canon surveys the issues of canonicity and canon formation in a foreign context. The text presents the prevailing thinking about canons in general, using five concepts: the ?classic?, tradition, aesthetic value, representation and cultural capital. The thesis then seeks to incorporate other fields of literary study that can contribute to the subject of canon formation, specifically in a foreign context, such as comparative literature and translation theory. The notion of world literature, and problems such as equivalence in translation, are addressed from a canonical perspective. At the end of the second chapter, a strategy for studying the formation of literary canons in a foreign context is outlined. The last chapter endeavours to implement the theories presented in the first two chapters, using as its raw material Czech literature in Bulgaria after World War II. The study presents aspects of translation strategy, analyses anthologies as a canonical genre, and outlines the journey that Hašek?s The Good Soldier Švejk underwent in becoming part of the Bulgarian canon of Czech literature.
