Even though his films were targeted at the Soviet viewer, it was difficult even for them to understand them fully. Tarkovsky was perceived as a semi-illegal author, even tough he kept proclaiming that he is a Soviet filmmaker without any intention to draw a political picture of the SSSR. Nonetheless, his films were almost banned for some time. Tarkovsky's s perspective of the Russian and Soviet history was in contrast with the thence official ideology. His goal was to reunite with the cultural tradition and recover the spiritual bridge with one's past. He tried to do it through the internal life of individuals.

Doudová, Helena ; Pelánová, Anita (advisor) ; Kunštát, Miroslav (referee)
Diploma thesis "Austrian cultural politics and a reform of the austrian federal museums" deals with a significant change in the museum organization and functioning that took place during the nineties. Federal museums became a priority of the austrian federal government one decade earlier and can be seen in connection to the european trend of the "museum boom". The federal museums were reconstructed and a new representative centre for museums in Vienna, the so-called MuseumsQuartier was built. At the same time the reform of the federal government changed the legal status of the museums, transferred the museum tasks such as acquing, conserving, researching, communicating and exhibiting the cultural heritage to the partly-independent museum organizations. Also the funding system for museums was altered, the museums had to cover part of their expenses through their commercial activity and through sponsorship. The aim of my diploma thesis is to analyse and evaluate the reform of the federal museums, especially I want to focus on the museum tasks and how the public interest is fulfilled.

Mikulová, Soňa ; Pešek, Jiří (advisor) ; Pelánová, Anita (referee)
The aim of this diploma thesis is to understand how the Nazis used and subordinated art to their power. It was necessary to concentrate the focus of this study on a specific region of the Third Reich. The choice of Düsseldorf as a frame for cultural-political studies of the years 1933-1945 was made because the city had been a cultural centre since the 18. century and it was a home of many famous artists, such as Heinrich Heine, Robert and Clara Schumann and Felix Mendelsohn-Bartholdy.

The analysis itself of the Bauhaus pedagogics and its comparison with reform pedagogics on the examples of M.Montessori, R. Steiner and G. Kerchensteiner are found in the chapter four.
