Slovak expats in Prague during normalisation
Oravcová, Jana ; Wohlmuth, Petr (advisor) ; Hlaváček, Jiří (referee)
The aim of the final thesis will be to examine the Slovak community in Prague during the socalled normalization period. The year 1968 is set as a fundamental milestone when significant events took place in the development of Czechoslovakia. In the thesis, we will be interested in the motivations behind the arrival of Slovaks in Prague, their assimilation in the new environment, and how they perceived the different cultural surroundings. An important assumption is that Slovaks came to Prague in order to improve their standard of living. At the same time, the scope of our research is limited to the 1970s, and we will attempt to analyze in more detail the experiences of Slovaks in Prague who migrated during this period.

Martinák, Matej ; Ouředníček, Martin (advisor) ; Svoboda, Peter (referee)
Despite its large size and historically specific position, the Slovak population of Prague and Czechia remains relatively understudied. The aim of this bachelor's thesis is to review the history and the present of Slovaks in Prague in terms of their number and statistical records, demographic and social structure, and distribution within the city. By analyzing current and historical statistical data, an overview of the evolution of Slovak migration to Prague and of the number of Slovaks in Prague has been conducted and problems regarding data records have been clarified. Based on detailed data from the Czech statistical office an overview of the demographic and social structure of Slovaks in Prague and comparison with some relevant populations was carried out. The level of concentration was analyzed by cartographic outputs. By its broad conception of the topic, the bachelor thesis broadens the existing knowledge about one of the largest ethnic groups in the capital of Czechia. Keywords: Slovaks; Prague; urban processes; migration; social structure; spatial distribution

Florián, Pavel ; Lütke Notarp, Ulrike (advisor) ; Köpplová, Barbara (referee)
This diploma thesis explores the evolution of the way Slovaks and Slovakia are portrayed in the Czech press after the 1st of January 1993. For this purpose, it aims to answer the question: 25 years after the dissolution of Czechoslovakia, what has changed in the way the Czech print media perceive Slovaks and Slovakia? The way Slovaks and Slovakia are portrayed in the Czech press is always reconstructed using the methods of quantitative and qualitative content analysis, namely in selected three- month periods in the years 1993, 1998, 2004, and 2008. These periods are related to events which for Slovaks and Slovakia, following the dissolution of the Czech and Slovak Federative Republic, are generally perceived as significant. It is essential to understand we are interested in Slovaks and Slovakia as seen by the Czech press. Based on the performed content analyses and their results respectively, the diploma thesis characterizes the ways Slovaks and Slovakia are portrayed in the Czech press in the given periods. These findings are then compared to capture the overall evolution of media portrayal of Slovaks and Slovakia in the Czech press in the course of time. The empirical evidence serves as a base for formulating conclusions and validating the research hypothesis.

The Carpathian Germans and Slovaks in the Slovak National Uprising: the end of the hundreds of years old coexistence
Krempaská, Barbora ; Kučera, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Nigrin, Tomáš (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with the events of the Slovak National Uprising, which had an impact on the coexistence of Slovaks and Carpathian Germans. The aim of the work was to find out when the Slovaks and members of the German minority were alienated so much that we could talk about the end of their coexistence, which seemed to have been without major conflicts for centuries. The Czechoslovak anti-fascist resistance culminated in the Slovak National Uprising which overthrew to the fight against the Germans in the form of persecutions and reprisals against the domestic German population. When looking for an answer to the research question, the complexity of this problem has been shown to lie, in particular, in the abundance of insurgency actors and the foreign influence on the course of its events. The thesis will introduce the German minority in Slovakia and its relationship with the domestic population across history in this area, while the main part is devoted to the socio-political situation in the Slovak State in 1944 and 1945. The result of facts coming from a number of secondary literature, but also edited testimonies of the memorials are that the end of co-existence of Slovaks and Carpathian Germans really occurred at the time of the uprising.
