The Lidice Case and Memory Politics in the Czech Republic
Antonyová, Veronika ; Kubátová, Hana (advisor) ; Kalhousová, Irena (referee)
This diploma thesis deals with the issue of mobilization of political memory connected with the degree of collaboration in the Czechia with Nazi Germany. I put the whole case in the broader context of dealing with the Holocaust in post-communist countries. I analyzed the process and consequences of the mobilization of political memory on the specific case of the Lidice. I examined in more detail the concrete effects of a wrong and inaccurate alignment with the historical past on the current political scene and the public in the Czech Republic. Keywords political memory, mobilization of political memory, holocaust, collaboration, Lidice, europeanisation

Architect Antonín Tenzer
Pučerová, Klára ; Švácha, Rostislav (advisor) ; Czumalo, Vladimír (referee) ; Vorlík, Petr (referee)
The work of Antonin Tenzer involves his activities in the period of six decades in the turbulent era of development of Czechoslovak history of architecture. The architect is known as one of the representatives of the avant-garde and High functionalism, author of Faculty Hospital in Prague-Motol and other medical buildings or the Jalta hotel, a building associated with socialist realism. In my dissertation, I tried to map the main typological fields that Antonín Tenzer used in his work. My goal was to widen the portfolio of famous buildings, and on the basis I defined the architect's major themes and current issues, which were responded in his effort. I based primarily on historic materials - published projects, plan documentation and writings of public and private archives, as well as personal heritage, made available to me by the architect's family. In particular thematic areas I focused on Tenzer's vital and successful implementation of competition projects, which he later followed and extended. In addition to impulses from his collaborators, debates and majors works of those days I was looking for elements and methods of Tenzer that influenced the architecture environment. I observed the influence of historical events and the socio-political situation in his work, for example, housing issues in...

In the Shadow of Lidice - Comparison of changes in the memory of the villages exterminated during the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia
Kyliášová, Sandra ; Hnilica, Jiří (advisor) ; Koura, Petr (referee)
This diploma thesis is focused on changes of perception of selected municipalities, which were affected by extermination action during the existence of the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia. Unlike Lidice and Ležáky, however, they are not so well-known today. For comparison, I chose five Moravian villages and settlements, of which Zákřov and Javoříčko lay in the Olomouc, Ploština, Prlov and Vařákovy paseky were in the area of Wallachia. The introductory part is devoted to the theory of memory, focusing on collective memory and memory space with inspiration from sociology and history authors. Namely Maurice Halbwachs, Pierre Nora, Jan Assmann and Miroslav Hroch in Czechia. This is followed by a chronological summary of historical developments in individual localities, from their origin, through their destruction to development after World War II. The main passage of this work is an overview of professional, non-fiction and, rarely, fictional literary sources and media sources that have created memory of these places since the end of World War II to the present day. These sources show a political and social shift between periods of time, including propaganda based on the omission of some information or the fabrication of ideologically burdened theories. It also includes a final comparison of...

Massacre in Lidice and Kľak Valley - comparison of media representation and historical reflection
Jaroš, Martin ; Šafařík, Petr (advisor) ; Dimitrov, Michal (referee)
This thesis analyzes the tendencies in the press of given era and the development of social discussion on burning of Lidice village and Klak and Ostrý Gruň settlements through discourse-historical approach and other sociological concepts. It specifically follows the level of awareness and media content of selected periodicals from the time of the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia, the transitional period of the existence of the Slovak State, over 40 years of the communist era, until the renewed or newly created periodicals of the Velvet Revolution, to the present, meant 2017. Usually by decades, always on the anniversary date of the event. The thesis attempts to confirm the hypothesis that sensitive historical events tend to be interpreted with bias, in compliance with the current regime, through (in this case) printed media; were they owned by government, opposition, or even those who are seeking (political) impartiality.

The Reverent Act on Lidice in 1945 - mass media reflexion v. historical facts and survior's memories
Miková, Martina ; Bednařík, Petr (advisor) ; Knapík, Jiří (referee)
Bachelor's thesis The Reverent Act in Lidice in 1945 - mass media reflexion v. historical facts and survivor's memories provides, as the name already predicts, insight into the issues of post-war production of the representative Czechoslovakian media. How did the publications and the radio back then inform about the event which had an impact far beyond internal affairs? In which context did the media remind the general public of the tragedy of Lidice? Did the mass media use their capacity for cooperation in recovering missing women and children? How did they deal with the blame of Nazi criminals and the blame of the entire German nation as a whole? What was the point of view of the media of the Reverent Act? And how large a part of its original record did they get over to the general public? Were pieces of information rather true or not? Was the Reverent Act abused by the media for the propagation of their own ideological interests? Which reflection did they make of western countries and how much did it differ from a reflection of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics? The author of this Bachelor's thesis tried to find answers to these and the following questions. The thesis is based primarily on the exploration of extant archival material, such as the articles in Lidová demokracie, Právo lidu,...
