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.
Eighteenth Century Representation of Collective Identity in Tuscany - Content Analysis of Traveller Testimonies on England
Prokopová, Oldřiška ; Klusáková, Luďa (advisor) ; Power, Martina (referee) ; Militello, Paolo (referee) ; Erdösi, Péter (referee)
The Master's thesis is based on testimonies of eighteenth-century Tuscan travellers to England. The main questions of the research are how their own identity was created through the categorized and often-stereotyped image of the Other, whether and how it was related to the Enlightenment and what were the cognitive strategies that the travellers used when they encountered the English. The research is based on the method of content analysis applied to the Tuscan traveller Luigi Angiolini, who is then compared to five other Tuscan travellers. An analysis of various aspects of the definition of the Self and of collective identification ensues.
