"My Sudetenland is all around here, my darling": The representation of Sudetenland area in contemporary Czech popular music and other popular culture media
BRTNÍK, Robert
The Bachelor's thesis focuses on the depiction of the border area in contemporary Czech music production. Concepts from the field of remembrance and aesthetics of nature are chosen here as key points for later analysis. The work also focuses on the history of the Sudetenland and Czech-German relations, which influenced the landscape character and perception of this area. In addition, we work here with the geography of the borderlands, but also with the reflection of socio-pathological phenomena often attributed to the Sudetenland. For a more comprehensive understanding of the artistic depiction of the given topic, a comparison of other forms of art (film, comics, literature, and visual media) is also processed here, which is the basis for later musical analysis and at the same time a form of summary or memento of the depiction of the Sudetenland, which for many years was subject to contemporary propaganda. The goal of the work is not only to find out what the musical reflection of the history and present of the Sudetenland looks like through the prism of nature, remembrance, etc., but to ascertain the degree of fetishization of the "dark" sides of the borderland and to come to some sort of compromise between the already established "mysterious" form of this depiction and the reflection of the current state of the Sudetenland, which is often forgotten, even though it is a very large part of our territory.

The coexistence of Czechs and Germans in South Bohemia during the interwar period
KALMA, Pavel
This thesis deals with a topic that predates the controversial events of the expulsion of the Sudeten Germans. It is one of the chapters of Czech-German coexistence, which influenced and co-shaped the development in the Czech and Moravian lands for a long time. The topic chosen for this work is the coexistence of Czechs and Germans during the period of the Czechoslovak First Republic, which was strongly influenced by the Munich Agreement in the autumn of 1938. In my thesis I focused on the initial and final stages of the newly established state. The attitude of Germans living in the Czech lands towards the new Czechoslovak state and its very creation was examined, as well as the attitude of Czech society towards the German minority, which in the early days tended to refuse to participate in the state under Czech rule. In my work I have tried to summarize at least some of the conditions of the coexistence under study and its historical development, as well as the events of the last pre-war years, especially the dramatic year 1938, which ended with the withdrawal of the German-occupied borderlands.

BEZOUŠKOVÁ, Libuše
This bachelor thesis elaborates on the topic of the transfer of the German population in the period 1945-1952 from the area of Czech Canada in the South Bohemian Region. The work monitors not only the changes in the demographic structure of the population, but also the issue of extinct municipalities due to the construction of the border zone. In addition to the historical context, the transformation of Czech Canada as a physical-geographical area is also monitored here. Last but not least, the author analyzes Czech-German-Austrian relations as an important aspect in current foreign and economic policy.

Settlement development in selected area in the border region
MÜLLEROVÁ, Eva
The topic of my bachelor thesis is the development of a settlement in the selected area of one of the border regions. The thesis is divided into two parts - theoretical and practical. The theoretical part is divided into three chapters. The first chapter describes the history of frontier settlements in our country. There is more specifically explained the concept of border regions, especially the terms as the Czech border region and the term Sudetenland are described in more details. The second chapter is focused on a development of rural settlements. As the first there is described the development of settlements until 15th century, then the development of settlements until 18th century and as the final, the development of settlements until 20th century. The third chapter is focused on the factors that were influencing the settlement layout as such during the history and the factors that have been still influencing the layout of these settlements up to this day. I consider the practical part of my bachelor thesis as being very important. From the title itself of my bachelor thesis, is obvious that my work is focused on border areas. That is the reason why I chose the village Záblatí, which is located just in one of the border places, in the South Bohemia, near the town Prachatice. The practical part captures the transformation of this village from the earliest written mention to its current form.

Reflections by the media on the Postoloprty massacre from 1990
Hegerová, Lenka ; Nigrin, Tomáš (advisor) ; Dimitrov, Michal (referee)
The main topic of this bachelor thesis is the so-called Postoloprty massacre and its reflection by selected Czech media after 1990. The Postoloprty Massacre is one of the greatest post-war excesses committed by the Czechs against the expelled Germans. Until the fall of the communist regime in 1989, the case was a taboo, much like other crimes committed against Germans during the expulsion. Although this changed in historiography after 1990, especially thanks to the publications of Tomáš Staňek, the path to coming to terms with this tragic event took much longer in the region where the massacre took place. A memorial plaque to the victims, which had been requested by associations and individuals since 2003, was erected seven years later. The aim of my thesis is to use discursive analysis to find out how the media reported on the Postoloprty
