Czech women from the lower classes at the turn of the 20th century. Self-concept, goals, successes.
Landsmannová, Anna ; Pokorná, Magdaléna (advisor) ; Koura, Petr (referee)
1 ABSTRACT This report discusses Czech lower-class women at the turn of the nineteenth century with a special focus on their self-concept, goals and accomplishments. The main sources used for the examination of these aspects were the issues of three women's magazines, namely "Ženské listy", "Ženský svět" a "Ženský list", from 1901 to 1905. The report predominantly concerns women who were producing literary sources, particularly workwomen. Due to the lack of literary sources created by certain lower-class woman groups, such as prostitutes, beggarwomen and midwives, these groups were only discussed briefly. To contextualise the situation of Czech women at the turn of the nineteenth century, the report also outlines women's emancipation movements from the second half of the nineteenth century until the establishment of Czechoslovakia, particularly focusing on the period of 1897-1907. The result of the juxtaposition of the three sources, each concentrating on a different aspect of womanhood, provides a comprehensive overview of the situation of poor women from this period. The socialist magazine "Ženský list" was the most useful source for the research of lower-class woman self-concept and goals. It helped identify that most efforts of lower-class women were directed at the adjustment of woman and child work...

Imaginations of "Otherness" and Freak Show Culture in the 19th- and 20th-Century Prague
Herza, Filip ; Storchová, Lucie (advisor) ; Hanulík, Vladan (referee) ; Sokolová, Věra (referee)
in English Dissertation deals with the freak show culture in Prague and the Czech lands in a broader context of the modern discourses of dis/ability and the imaginations of the collective body of the Czech nation. Exhibitions of "Lilliputians", "Giants", "Siamese twins" and other "extraordinary" bodies are analyzed here as a part of the history of an international entertainment culture in the 19th-century Europe. The emphasis lays on the turn of the century, the decade that witnessed rash development both of the capitalist entertainment industry and the expert disciplines that dealt with the "ab/normal". I claim, that the popularity of freak shows in this period rested in their ability to articulate fears and ambitions of their visitors, both in their individual embodied experience and their imaginative belonging, notably their belonging to the collective body of the Czech nation. In four case studies, I focus on individual freak figures and analyze how the intersections of different axes of difference - ethnicity, gender, class - within the representation of "the extraordinary", coproduced certain notion of social order and power hierarchies that were closely intertwined with the imagined collective body of nation.

Czechs and Germans in Prague: a competition of associational life at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries
Kočárková, Kateřina ; Zelená, Alena (advisor) ; Emler, David (referee)
The work is devoted to Czech-German coexistence in Prague, at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. In 1848, the Czechs found themselves in the involuntary role of supporters of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, within which the Czech-speaking population had to live alongside the Germans, who also belonged to the territory. The coexistence of the two nations was unproblematic, rather variable, which was also reflected in the political and social spheres of life. The Czech-German coexistence was important for the development of the associational life. The creation and subsequent competition of these associations are the focus of this thesis. Three Czech institutions which were important for the contemporary cultural and social life and which had an analogous German pair were selected: The National Theatre and the New German Theatre, the Arco Cafe and the Union, and the Deutsches Casino together with the Měšťanská beseda. Their friendly and hostile tendencies and competition between them were examined.

Sacral buildings in urbanism of the municipalities of Prague in 19th and 20th century
Háčková, Tereza ; Czumalo, Vladimír (advisor) ; Šmied, Miroslav (referee)
The diploma thesis deals with sacral architecture in the urban structure of the Prague districts of the 19th and 20th centuries. The aim is to answer the question whether these two centuries prolong the tradition in which the urban structure responded to sanctuaries, which were often the basic starting point for new urban foundations or, on the contrary, only respond to the given urban situation. The main ambition of the work is to create a set of material from Prague urbanism to illustrate the development of relationship between sacral structures and urban space during the 19th and 20th centuries. Based on available sources, documents, catalogs, and maps, the work tries to compare new church builders with a catholic tradition without excluding the issue of minor christian churches and synagogues from the scope of the work. Keywords urbanism, sacral architecture, 19th and 20th century, Prague
