Digital Historical Representations of the American Frontier Selected chapters from Red Dead Redemption 2
Klabačka, Tomáš ; Kremer, Jan (advisor) ; Foltýn, Dušan (referee)
This thesis deals with the video game Red Dead Redemption 2. In the theoretical part, I discuss popular history in general, and present other game and film western theme titles. This is followed by a section dedicated to the development studio Rockstar Games and the Red Dead game franchise. I am describing the history of the studio and its other work, and introduce the game titles belonging to the mentioned series - from development, to story and reviews. In the practical part, I am making a detailed analysis of RDR2 and futher I going to focus on comparing this title with other westerns released in the 21st century. I will compare four areas. These are: cowboys, natives American, women and children. The objective of my work is firstly to present one of the ways in which a historical video game can be analysed. Secondly to offer a comparison of what is portrayed in contemporary westerns. For example, what these titles present the same or at least in a similar way, and what, on the other hand, they do not agree on at all. KEYWORDS Videogames, historical game studies; popular history; American frontier; native Americans; cowboys; 19th/20th century; Red Dead Redemption; Rockstar Games

The foundations of premonstratensian monasteries in the Central Europe until the beginning of the 13th Century. Filial foundations of Steinfeld and Dünnwald
Kremer, Jan ; Žemlička, Josef (advisor) ; Pařez, Jan (referee)
Presented diploma thesis is concerned with the foundation of the first czech premonstratensian houses in the 12th century, specially in relation to the central abbey of Prémontré, the premonstratensian general chapter and two mother houses of Steinfeld and Dünnwald in the Eifel region of Germany. The first chapter deals with the central role of the general chapter and the abbey of Prémontré. It describes the ways in which the general chapter has tried to control the other houses of the order. We can follow the contitutions of the order to the half of the 13th century. In the following text we are trying to describe the function of circaries and visitations. The second part is treating the life of the founder of Prémontré - Norbert of Xanten - whose life had a very strong influence on the whole order even after he was elected archbishop of Magdeburg in the year 1126. We are trying to explain how the abbey of Prémontré and its abbot Hugo of Fosse preserved the unity of the order in the following years. We are further concerned with the ideal of apostolic life in the order and with cura animarum, unity and diversity in the order. We are describing, how the premonstratensians spread across the whole Europe and what kind of places they inhabited. The following part is explaining the role of the women houses and...
