The Image of Hussitism in Operas of the 19. and 20.centuries
Gemza, Tomáš ; Morée, Pieter Cornelis Adrianus (advisor) ; Noble, Timothy (referee)
The image of the Hussite movement as a phenomenon of the Czech nation of the Middle Ages and the present day was portrayed in the music of that time and also in the operatic works of the 19th and 20th centuries. The purpose of my work was to find a way to handle this idea of individual composers, particularly in Zdeněk Fibich's opera Blaník, in Karel Šebor's opera Nevěsta husitská and in opera written by Karel Bendl Dítě Tábora. I would like to highlight in my work how we perceive currently Hussite images captured in these two operatic works, written in thein particular time of the 19th century.

Discourse about Hussitism in Czech society of 20th century and its illustration in the Hussite Trilogy by Otakar Vávra
Hlaváčková, Terezie ; Doležalová, Eva (advisor) ; Urgošíková, Blažena (referee)
The angle under which Czech society sees Hussitism has undergone a rapid turn over the last few decades. The planned B.Sc. thesis aims to contribute to the identification of roots and prerequisites of this turnaround laid by previous development of Czech society and culture, especially after the World War II. It is obviously also necessary to analyse the preceding long- term development, from the beginnings of the national revival through Tyl and Palacký up to Jirásek and Nejedlý. The main subject of the work will then be an analysis of new elements in the view of hussitism contained in the film trilogy by Otakar Vávra (Jan Hus, Jan Žizka, Against All), and their reception by contemporaries and subsequent generations.

Benediktines in Bohemia 1419-1620. Selected Monasteries.
Vorlíček, Petr ; Foltýn, Dušan (advisor) ; Charvátová, Kateřina (referee)
The thesis focuses on the history of several Czech benedictine monasteries in the period marked by two major milestones in Czech history, them being the outbreak of the Hussite Revolution and the Battle of White Mountain. It aims to juxtapose monasteries abandoned in the post-Hussite era with the ones that had undergone restoration and remained active during the above mentioned period. Apart from trying to put together an overall outline of the convents' history, the thesis also addresses select problems the abbots of the restored monasteries had to face in the course of the aforementioned two centuries. KEY WORDS Benedictine monks, monastery, priory, Hussitism, secularization, protestantism
