Erbenová, Dagmar ; Beneš, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Kratochvíl, Viliam (referee) ; Středová, Veronika (referee)
This thesis in its theoretical part deals with the analysis of the reflection on the historical facts with an emphasis on historical consciousness or more precisely regional historical consciousness and the factors that affect the continuity of its preservation. In response to this starting point the question of the possible aspects of the definition and study of the region and consequently the specification of the following aspects of Karlovy Vary region as an example is further discussed. Analysis of regional moment of history and its share in the formation of the historical consciousness itself and regional identity concludes this theoretical portion afterwards. An integral part of the theoretical background is the discussed educational dimension of the partial theoretical aspects and its significance for public area as a whole. First, the analytical part of this study summarizes the results of two surveys within the framework of regional identity of the selected parts of the population of Karlovy Vary region or more precisely the very centre of Karlovy Vary and its immediate surroundings. Selected digressions of regional history (dealing with the co-existence of the German, Czech and Jewish ethnicity in the 19th and 20th century in Karlovy Vary region) are the application of the theoretical...

Čtvrtník, Mikuláš ; Beneš, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Středová, Veronika (referee) ; Horský, Jan (referee)
The main thematic scope and basis of the PhD thesis is the specific movement in the historiography called duchové dějiny (in English partly misleading translation intellectual history) in the form, in which it was developed in German speaking lands as Geistesgeschichte, and in the Czech historiography as duchové dějiny outlined by Zdeněk Kalista. In the PhD thesis duchové dějiny is put into the wide context of the development of historical thinking and methodology in the 19th and 20th century. The PhD thesis treats the subdiscipline of duchové dějiny in many perspectives and at different levels and thematically is not enclosed by the boundaries of the duchové dějiny itself. The duchové dějiny is here in a way an optics through which one line of historiography and historical thinking in the 19th and 20th century is observed, treated and interpreted. The PhD thesis also aims to connect the history and its methodology with the archivistics and archival theory. In this way proposes the thesis certain solutions. Nowadays, duchové dějiny belongs rather to the marginal movements or subdisciplines in the historiography in the Czech and German speaking lands, contrary to intellectual history in Anglophone areas. In spite of this the PhD thesis tried to show, that the duchové dějiny is still alive,...

The importance of František Kutnar for understanding the modern history of Bohemia
Středová, Veronika ; Beneš, Zdeněk (referee) ; Maur, Eduard (referee)
The importance of František Kutnar for understanding the modern history of Bohemia consists chiefly in his reception and consequent peculiar development of structuralism. He applied structuralist theses, conceived within Czech scholarly environment of the 30s of the 20th century, while thinking up his own stucturalist-functional approach towards the historic fact. Kutnar's ideas demonstrably stem from domestic inspiration sources, especially from Josef Ludvík Fišer's and Jan Mukařovský's writings, on the other hand he was wondrously anticipating theses of French historians of the first and second generation of the Annales Scholl, mainly of Marc Bloch and Fernand Braudel, eventually, he notably harmonized with their approaches. First features of Kutnar's structuralist-functional approach towards the historic fact can be traced already in his works from the early 40s. In Obrozenecký nacionalismus (1940) we find first formulations concerning the structuralist character of the historical reality, contents, transformations and functions of its individual components. More coherent interpretation can be found in Sociálně myšlenkové tvářnosti obrozenského lidu (1948), where Kutnar expressed his opinion of the structuralist approach towards the historic fact the people. There he pointed out its inner complexity,...
