Hána, Petr ; Jirásková, Věra (referee) ; Havlůjová, Hana (referee)
1950s may be classified as one of the worst periods in Czechoslovakia's history. The totalitarian communist regime in the period between 1948 and 1953 is called the Stalinism. The primary objective hereof was to evaluate teaching about the Stalinism period in Czechoslovakia in secondary schools, in particular, to assess the scope of correctness and completeness of the related curriculum and teaching methods. The secondary objective hereof was to introduce and describe the Stalinism as a typical example of totalitarianism and to define crucial elements of this non-democratic form of government using the example of Czechoslovakia from 1948 to 1953. The thesis proceeds from the theoretical part via a case study to the practical part. The first part classifies totalitarianism, defines its historical outset and determines its main features. The second chapter describes and explains the Stalinism, which is a typical example of totalitarianism having functioned in practice in the Soviet Union from where it spread to the majority of the Communist countries, including Czechoslovakia.

The Life and Criminalization of Czech Queer Women in the first half of the 20th Century
Zdráhalová, Judita ; Petráček, Tomáš (advisor) ; Šmíd, Marek (referee)
The bachelor thesis deals with the everyday life and persecution of Czech non-heterosexual women in the first half of the 20th century. It therefore examines the status and overall situation of homosexual minorities in the society, primarily in the years 1918-1945, ie during the Czech First Republic and the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia, with a focus on women. The thesis doesn't cover the period before the establishment of the Czechoslovak Republic, due to limited sources and the absence of research. Apart from the historical context and the description of the perception of lesbian love at that time, the thesis will present selected queer publications, associations, favorite meeting places or restaurants and important female figures of this community in the given period. The second part of the thesis will then be carried out as a case study of criminal records concerning women accused of the crime of "fornication against nature", which can help us gain insight into the mentality and everyday life of lesbian women of the first half of the 20th century.

Reflection of Basque autonomy in Spanish and Basque media
Lengyelová, Patricie ; Mejstřík, Martin (advisor) ; Menclová, Barbora (referee)
This bachelor thesis analyses the way in which the centrally oriented Spanish media El País and El Diario Vasco portrayed the autonomous tendencies in the Basque Country, focusing on the referendum on the Statute of Autonomy in 1979. The aim is to give analysis of published articles on this subject in the methodology of discourse analysis. In the theoretical introduction the thesis defines terms such as regionalism, nationalism, and others. The contextualization is characterized by the political-historical characteristics of the development of the Basque Country. In the analytical part the thesis focuses on the period of three months before the referendum until the ratification of the Statute of Autonomy in Congress and the Senate. The main analysed articles were editorials published by both journals, as well as subjective elements contained in articles on Basque autonomy. The thesis reflects on the influence of media on social consensus and on their objectivity and concludes that although both diaries supported the creation of Basque autonomy, the regional newspaper El Diario Vasco emphasized its neutral stance and tolerance to both sides, for and against the autonomy. El País, on the other hand, strongly condemned the parties that were refusing to vote in favor of autonomy and propagated the approval of...

Inovativní přístupy k výuce moderních dějin na ZŠ s využitím orální historie
MAREŠOVÁ, Kateřina
This bachelor thesis deals with innovative approaches and methods of modern history teaching at the upper primary school. In the theoretical part the author explains the problematics of teaching modern history and analyses its condition at schools in The Czech Republic. Thereafter she aims on exploring the options of using the oral history method (mainly in form of narrating the story by a witness or by interviewing him/her) or heuristic methods in teaching the history of the second half of the 20th century, as well as the options of the inclusion of audiovisual techniques (photography, video, documentary film). The practical part is based on a qualitative research focused on the work of a group of pupils involved in the project of the non-profit organization Post Bellum called "Příběhy našich sousedů"(Stories of our neighbours). The aim of the project is for the pupils to meet local elderly people and to get acquainted with their life story. The pupils also search for more historical materials relevant to the stories told by the witnesses and finally the witness' story is processed into an output (of various forms such as written reportage or video documentary). This pupil's team work is later on presented to the public. The author combines the technique of attended observation of pupils' work and interviews with them, focusing in particular on whether and how the participation in the project affects pupils themselves.
