Vlasta Javořická and Two Totalitarian Regimes between 1938 and 1953. Municipal Chronicle of this Writer as an Ego-Document
BARTUŠEK, Petr
This paper deals with the problematic of ego-documents as historical sources. The following study is based on one example of these sources regarding the municipality of Studená during the first half of the 20th century. It is mainly focused on the local chronicle depicting the period of 1938-1949 written by the native of Studená and writer Vlasta Javořická. The important part of this work is an edition of this chronical completed with the comparaison with its almost identical copy. The chronical is characteristic of a noticable amount of specificities. It is predominantly an ego-document rather than an institutional and commemorative source. Through the analysis of local chronicles (ie. ego-documents) and the study of additional sources this paper aims to contribute among others to the theoretical problematic of the criticism of the historical sources. At the same time, it shall extend the existing findings regarding the study of the society and the reflection of some periods of the 20th century thanks to the official local chroniclers as well as the authors of different sources having a similar character. The main problematic of this paper is the question whether it is possible to fully use the ego-documents for the factual learning or rather for the research of the history of mentalities, dailyness, cultural and social history, ethnography, etc.

"Krankengeschichte" of Georg Buquoy. Description of disease like a document of life
MORAWETZ, Michal
The aim of this bachelor thesis is to produce a critical edition and perform an analysis of the description of diseases, which is deposited (in the form of a manuscript) in Georg Franz Buquoy?s estate in the State Regional Archives in Třeboň. The document is interpreted in the context of the contemporary reflections of state of health, while emphasising the specific traits of the author?s personality. The treatise is understood as an intimate confession, a unique document of Buquoy?s way of thinking, which also betrays the influence of the philosophical and intellectual currents. The treatise further contains information potentially relevant for the history of medicine, further study of Buquoy?s biography and the research of the everyday culture of the early 19th century.
