Procházka, Filip ; Mücke, Pavel (advisor) ; Urbášek, Pavel (referee)
The goal of this thesis is to do research , as wide as possible, in the most popular part of hobby named reenacting or reenacting (Napoleonic era, Austro-Prussian Wars, American Civil War, Second World War and some new topic - Czechoslovak Peoples Army, Royal Air Force and Czechoslovak Policemen before WW2). Thats mean commemoration and re-enactment of military history and military units in whole its history from time before 1989 to the future. I tried to find grounds of this hobby and describe development of it. As I expected, progress of this hobby or movement is larger, but this hobby existed before 1989 too. Reenactors reenacted and portrayed older conflicts as Napoleonic and Austro-Prussian war. Future reenactors were mainly fencers and tramps. Year 1989 was turning point for all reenactors. Theirs hobby is legal, it is possible to travel, to unite, to ground living history groups, own weapons, speak about all part of our history. It was possible to share and search information, regulation with and in foreign countries, foreigners and archives and museums. Main goal of reenactors is to portray theirs archetypes as good as possible. Public can see not only reconstruction of battles, but open air exhibition - "very interactive museums". This thesis can't be described as "Complete, all history of...

Image of Napoleon's age in Czech history text books
Hégrová, Dita ; Hnilica, Jiří (advisor) ; Parkan, František (referee)
Bachelor thesis named Image of Napoleon's age in Czech history text books deals with the views of Napoleon I. Bonaparte through historical sources and literature from the 19th century to the present. The Austrian aspect pointed in two directions, Bonaparte's military art on one hand, the celebration of his defeat on the other. The Czech-French alliance was highly beneficial for The First Republic; Napoleon I was even included in textbooks at the time. During the Nazi occupation the view of Napoleon as a statesman and military leader prevailed. The communist doctrine emphasized the rise of Bonaparte's skills and his defeat by the commoners during the invasion of Russia. The thesis tries to show the French emperor in the context of the 19th century and present day, including the creation of the cult of Napoleon I and traditions related to battles that took place. Key words Napoleon I. Bonaparte, education, legacy, The Napoleonic Wars, textbooks for grammar school, textbooks for primary schools.
