French Communists and Poland in 1956
Kůželová, Michaela ; Vykoukal, Jiří (advisor) ; Perottino, Michel (referee)
The thesis -French Communists and Poland in 1956‖ deals with the relations between the Central European Polish United Workers' Party (PZPR) or Poland and the West European French Communist Party (PCF) in the crisis year of 1956. Whereas the PZPR was a governing party in an Eastern block people's democracy, the PCF was in opposition, strong and influential, though, in a Western country. Analysing their mutual relations in 1956 is not only interesting from the point of view of East-West connections, but chiefly of the different approaches to Khrushchev's policy of destalinisation. Despite party factions vis-{-vis destalinisation, the main difference laid in both parties' leaderships. Whereas the PCF was more or less under the Stalinist Maurice Thorez's control, which prevented Khrushchev's French supporters from influencing their party's politics, in case of the PZPR, the death of Bolesław Bierut in March 1956 made room for larger variety of opinions within the party. That is why the PCF can be labelled as -more Stalinist‖ than the PZPR in 1956. This thesis describes not only the situation of both parties in 1956. It also analyses the images that the parties made about each other and the ways in which these images were spread and how they influenced the relations between them. Keywords French...

Science of Science in Poland and Czechoslovakia 1962-1989
Kůželová, Michaela ; Vykoukal, Jiří (advisor) ; Kunštát, Miroslav (referee) ; Franc, Martin (referee)
This dissertation deals with the Czechoslovak and Polish community of "scientists of science" (mainly historians, philosophers, and methodologists of science) from 1962 to 1989. It focuses not only on the inner evolution of this community (scientists, their works, scientific institutions etc.), but it also examines how was this community formed by the tradition of scientific thought on the one hand, and by the contemporary political and ideological context (Soviet influences, Marxism-Leninism, monopoly of the communist party) on the other. It focuses also on the ability of the scientific community to accept or reflect influences from the Western Europe or United States - which means from the so-called "capitalist countries". Two spheres are analysed to clarify dispositions of Polish and Czechoslovak "scientists of science" to foreign transfers: first, scientists' possibilities to travel to Western countries (research stays, participations at congresses etc.), and second, accessibility to foreign (mainly Western) scientific literature. Functioning of Western concepts in the community of Polish and Czechoslovak "scientists of science" is illustrated by an example of the reception of Thomas Kuhn's The Structure of Scientific Revolutions from 1962. This dissertation shows that the role of scientific...
