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...

Meeting of the East and the West in the Works of Ahmed Midhat and Rifa'a al-Tahtawi
Hartman, Tomáš ; Kučera, Petr (advisor) ; Malečková, Jitka (referee)
(in English): The main goal of my thesis is to find out the methods that were used by two middle-eastern authors, Rifāʿa aṭ-Ṭahṭāwī and Ahmet Midhat, to present the image of the West to their readers based on analysis of their works. In this thesis I am trying to reach this goal by topic analysis of their source works in the first place. In the second part of this work I included the description of life-fates of these two authors and circumstances under which they realized their journeys to Paris. This part of my thesis is based mainly on secondary literature, but is amended by quotations from source works. The main contribution of this work is based on the fact that this is first work of its kind which compiles works of these two authors. At the same time this work presents the image of the West from two different perspectives that differ a lot from each other and yet provide us with image of the same kind.

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. One of the conclusion of the Thesis is that there is an evident effort of the production to show to the audience both traditional and modern lifestyle, which is closely connected with a longterm...
