The Beskydy Mountain Rescue Service in Memories of Witnesses
Novák, Tomáš ; Wohlmuth Markupová, Jana (advisor) ; Mücke, Pavel (referee)
My thesis deals with the history of the Mountain Rescue in the Beskydy. Its activity is incorporated into a broader perspective of the history of the Mountain Rescue in the Czech Republic. The thesis brings insight into the personal and professional lives of mountain rescue workers and describes the mutual interconnection of these areas. It investigates the personal motivation for participating in the organisation's operation. Based on memories of witnesses from the era of their service, the research describes milestones in the operation of the Mountain Rescue. The main research method was oral history. Narrators were selected so that their depictions provided the most complex view of the problem analysed. They are represented by both the volunteers and professional members from six districts of the Beskydy region. Their memories cover the period since 1966 until the present day.
Jan Palach lives on in the memories of those living in Všetaty
Luzar, Kamil ; Wohlmuth Markupová, Jana (advisor) ; Mücke, Pavel (referee)
The diploma thesis focuses on the perception of the personality of Jan Palach by the inhabitants of the town of Všetaty. People of different generations, gender and education who shared his place of birth or residence with him. The whole study is based on a thorough heuristic work, which helped to draw the historical context. However, the emphasis is put mainly on the subjective statements of the addressed narrators, processed by years of proven methodological procedures of oral history. The focus is given to ordinary people who do not have direct family or friendly ties to Jan Palach. And because he himself wanted to snatch just such an ordinary Czechoslovak citizen from post-occupation lethargy, the study focuses on the degree of direct or indirect influence on the lives of the narrators.
