The National Theatre in Prague during the Nazi Occupation: The Foremost Theatre Scene between Oppression and Resistance. (A Historical-sociological Analysis) ABSTRACT The submitted dissertation, based on historical-sociological analysis, describes and explains the status, reaction and functionality of the National Theatre in Prague during the hardest times of our modern history - the occupation of the Czech lands by Nazi Germany, the so-called Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia (1939-1945), the era when the National Theatre, as the top cultural institution, consolidated its artistry, its permanent values and interpretation efforts of its ensemble to defend the right of our society to preserve its own culture, its own existence. The principal objective of this work is to analyze methods and techniques by means of which the National Theatre in Prague, in line with its audience, steadily faced critical situations caused by the Nazi occupation. Among key factors in this process were the acts of Czech theatre performers proving their bravery as they put their work careers and even their own lives at risk to help guide our nation towards awareness and determination not to relinquish the nation's sovereignty. The Nazis viewed the National Theatre in Prague as a potential instrument for fulfilling their plans...

Max Weber's contribution to the rationality
Prázný, Rudolf ; Šubrt, Jiří (advisor) ; Loužek, Marek (referee)
The thesis, conceived as a theoretical study, deals with Max Weber's contribution to the issues of rationality and societal rationalization, its profound outcome apparent through a Weberist inspiration imprinted in contemporary historical sociology. One of the most significant and frequently cited sociologists of the classical era is presented in eight chapters. Owing to the extraordinary area of competencies having extended to those of a historian, lawyer and economist, Weber bestowed the science of sociology with an interdisciplinary character. Contemporary historical sociology continuously benefits from the inexhaustible source of inspiration found in the interdisciplinary approach thus meriting further development in sociology. This theoretical study aims to convey information about Weber as an explorer across multiple areas: Weber views science as a component of a more general process of intellectualization and rationalization, crucial for the process of disenchantment of the world, evoking a new approach to the world, i.e. toward social reality. Social science methodology created by Weber absorbs the influence of German historicism and Neo-Kantianism. Weber intended to create a methodology which should contribute to inter-subjectively controlled cognizance in the field of spiritual science....
