Spa guests under surveillance in the end of the 18th century and in the beginning of the 19th century
 Jílková, Lucie ; Tinková, Daniela (advisor) ; Čechura, Jaroslav (referee)
On the verge of 19th century, all ancien régimes tried to find any way how to treat changes and impacts from the French revolution and other democratical movements across Europe. One of the biggest fear were citizens coming to the Habsburg lands from new republics. The guests who came to relax in Western Bohemia spas enjoyed a international society, but hated the regime well-known for spies who didn't have any respect for postal secret. The author uses Michel Foucault's theory of disciplination to see Austrian institutions'attempts to register all foreigners, especially those at spa resorts, to check their supposed liasons with revolutionaries. Thanks to this attemps, a lot of new sources that records every spa guests appeared and haven't been almost discovered until recently. Systematical monitoring of the foreigners goes hand in hand with with creating of the Ministry of Police and the Spa inspection. At this time, passport forms were settled and since then they were kept unchanged up to 1850's. To sum up, the control of foreigners coming to Bohemia was not an invent of this period, only the rigorousness of it is new.
