Travelogues and travel literature in the teaching of geography at the lower secondary schools
MENHARDOVÁ, Eva
Travelogues have always played a major role in teaching for many decades. Even though the widely used travel literature that was originally used is now receding into the background, it does not mean that travelogues are disappearing from teaching. Their new forms are coming to prominence, and teachers are often using them more than ever before. This bachelor thesis aims to present the importance of travelogues in geography teaching and identify their position in the field of modern trends and problems of today's geographical education. By using an in-depth interview with geography teachers at lower secondary schools, the thesis investigates and describes their views of the problems. Furthermore, it synthesizes the results and tries to link them with the identified aspects of the geographical education issues. The thesis is divided into two parts - theoretical and analytical. The theoretical part is devoted to getting familiar with modern trends in teaching in lower secondary schools, modern trends in geography teaching and travelogues themselves. After that, the research methodology with data processing is described. The analytical part is focused on the interpretation of the results and their synthesis. At the end of the thesis, the results are summarized and connected with the theoretical basis.

Three Women and Italy. Travel Diaries of Zdenka Braunerová, Marie Riegrová-Červinková and Anna Řeháková and Their Literary and Cultural Context
BLAŽKOVÁ, Saša
The bachelor thesis deals with travel notes of three Czech female travellers from the second half of the 19th century and the beginning of 20th century, Zdenka Braunerová, Marie Červinková-Riegrová and Anna Řeháková, from their literary and secondarily their cultural and historical aspect. The aim is also to introduce the conception of a woman who is a traveller at a time this hobby was far from a commonly acceptable female activity. Therefore, we look at the mentioned notes as i tis the evidence of the transformation of social conventions, when the idea of a woman as a mere protector of the household is fading and it is replaced with an image of an emancipated, independent woman, perhaps just in the role of a female traveller.

Balcarová, Eva ; Voldřichová - Beránková, Eva (advisor) ; Hrbata, Zdeněk (referee)
DOMINIQUE VIVANT DENON - FROM TRAVELS IN ITALY TO THE LOUVRE MUSEUM. TOWARD A TYPOLOGY OF THE 18TH CENTURY TRAVELOGUE. Keywords: travelogue, 18th century, libertine culture, Italy, Egypte, Napoleon, Louvre. Number of characters: 121 846 (68 pages) The present thesis, Dominique Vivant Denon - From travels in Italy to the Louvre Museum is divided into two parts. The first one is a monograph on baron Vivant Denon, an important figure of the cultural life in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, the author of Point de Lendemain, two travelogues, Voyage dans la Basse et la Haute Égypte and Voyage en Sicile, but, primarily, Napoleon's advisor in the field of fine art and the first director of The Louvre. The introductory pages of the thesis deal with the reception of Denon's works. There is a certain flux in the perception of Denon's oeuvre which has given rise to a range of interesting issues. One of them, the popularity of the libertine culture of pre-revolutionary France in the second half of the twentieth century, accounts for the fact that the novella Point de Lendemain is today the best known piece among Denon's extensive and multifaceted writings. A shift in the perception of the travelogue as a literary genre in our time, when the remotest of places are accessible in hours, may be...

The key are the means of showing and presenting to its spectators this exotic detination as a turistic target and if there is a wider context of social and political struggles provided next to the given information. Semiotic analysis was chosen for the research, where 13 episodes of the travelling documents were included. This type of analysis enabled us to focus on a large amount of the information comming from both visual and audial content of each episode. During the first phase of analysis it waas described what was included in the episode where the second step was to assign a conotative meaning to identified features. The outcome of the analysis was a creation of a few categories where a different strategy of the specific travelling programs is compared. They are for example the approach to the stereotypes, the artistic form including the choice of the program's main guide, parasocial interaction, to which extent they use the etnocentricity or the internal hypertextuality.

Transfigurations of the image of the Other in Czech travelogues of the long 19th century
Heller, Jan ; Putna, Martin (advisor) ; Havelka, Miloš (referee) ; Šima, Karel (referee)
Transfigurations of the image of the Other in Czech travelogues of the long 19th Century Abstract of the dissertation thesis Mgr. et Mgr. Jan Heller The thesis focuses on constructions of the image of the Other in Czech travelogues of the 19th century. The travelogue is a peripheral literary genre, both an artistic text and a historical source, and thus enables the viewer to combine perspectives of literary criticism and historical anthropology. Special attention is paid to religious motifs owing mainly to the fact that this theme has been left out of focus in the present research thanks to the emphasis on the linguistic and historic character of the Czech national emancipation movement. The intention of the thesis is to describe literary techniques in the individual travelogues (direct representations, narrative strategies, topics, attributes of characters) and the function they serve in the building of the image of the Other and thus of the image of oneself at the same time. The goal ...

Travels to Utopia. The Image of Soviet Russia within the Czechoslovak Cultural Left in the Interwar Period.
Šimová, Kateřina ; Vykoukal, Jiří (advisor) ; Glanc, Tomáš (referee) ; Křesťan, Jiří (referee)
The proposed dissertation is devoted to the relations of the Czechoslovak cultural left to Soviet Russia in the interwar period. It focuses on the image of Soviet Russia, pointing out that for many Czechoslovak leftist artists and intellectuals it served as a framework for their own vision of an ideal socio-political arrangements. In their view, the image of Soviet Russia stood out as a utopia in the sense that the sociologist Karl Mannheim attributes to this phenomenon. The dissertation follows the evolution of this utopian image among the Czechoslovak cultural left in the early 1920s, maps the changes in its thematic structure and motives and follows its disintegration against the ideological split of the Czechoslovak cultural left in the late 1930s. This development is perceived through the analysis of travelogues in which left-wing artists and intellectuals presented their immediate impressions and experiences from this country. The semiotic text analysis method is being used for this purpose. By analysing the confrontational and transformative functions of the utopian image of Soviet Russia, the dissertation attempts to clarify the attitude of Czechoslovak artists and intellectuals towards Soviet Russia in the context of the socio-political situation of the interwar period and in the broader...
