Hoření, Vendula ; Uherek, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Lupták Burzová, Petra (referee)
This work takes interest in the present-day indigenous minority of Sorbs and their life in a mainly German-speaking environment. All of the field research was done in 2014 and 2016 during the important festival and celebration The Easter ride of Crusaders in the Catholic part of Upper Lusatia, which is a sign of the community and religious communal strength. The Sorbs are the rural population, which has never demanded it's rights in a violent way. On the contrary, their traditional weapons throughout history were their conservative mentality, passiveness and isolation. The Sorbs have a double identity, they are bilingual and they can change the language they are speaking in an instant. The church was historically the only place where Sorbian was strictly the only language used. In fact, outside of the family German was the dominant language at all other institutions. The main differences that the Sorbs noticed between themselves and their German neighbors was a different language, being Catholic instead of Protestant, maintaining their own traditions, which the Sorbs believe can be a source of fear in the majority of the unknown. In the interviews, all of the problems that the Sorbs had with the majority Germanic people were mentioned in past tense. Compared to the post war generation, they now do not have...

Lusatian Sorbs and the Society in the Regions of Jizera and Central Elbein the Period of the First Czechoslovak Republic
Futtera, Ladislav ; Zdichynec, Jan (advisor) ; Čechurová, Jana (referee)
Between the years 1931-1934, both in the region of Jizera in the area between Semily and Mladá Boleslav and in the region of Central Elbe between Kolín and Nymburk, eight subsidiary unions of the Czechoslovakian-Lusatian society "Adolf Černý" were founded. On three other places, namely in Český Brod, Kouřim and Lysá nad Labem, the attempts to establish the local unions failed. Nonetheless, the area consequently became the second most significant cultural centre as well as the meeting point of the Lusatian Sorbs in the inter-war Czechoslovakia, the first one being Prague. It was regularly visited by the Lusatian Sokol gymnasts or choirs, and Lusatian-Sorbian children as well as university students spent their holidays there. It is therefore no surprise that the Mužský Hill near the city of Mnichovo Hradiště became the location of a demonstration in support of the Lusatian Sorbs which took place there in July 1933 as a reaction to a wave of persecutions in Germany. Due to the fragmentary nature of the sources, the topic of the following thesis is based primarily on the regional press, the Sorbian press and the journal Českolužický věstník, called Lužickosrbský věstník since 1931. There is only one complete archive which remained intact, namely the one of the Semily union of the Czech-Lusatian society...
