The Image of Hussitism in Operas of the 19. and 20.centuries
Gemza, Tomáš ; Morée, Pieter Cornelis Adrianus (advisor) ; Noble, Timothy (referee)
The image of the Hussite movement as a phenomenon of the Czech nation of the Middle Ages and the present day was portrayed in the music of that time and also in the operatic works of the 19th and 20th centuries. The purpose of my work was to find a way to handle this idea of individual composers, particularly in Zdeněk Fibich's opera Blaník, in Karel Šebor's opera Nevěsta husitská and in opera written by Karel Bendl Dítě Tábora. I would like to highlight in my work how we perceive currently Hussite images captured in these two operatic works, written in thein particular time of the 19th century.

Discourse about Hussitism in Czech society of 20th century and its illustration in the Hussite Trilogy by Otakar Vávra
Hlaváčková, Terezie ; Doležalová, Eva (advisor) ; Urgošíková, Blažena (referee)
The angle under which Czech society sees Hussitism has undergone a rapid turn over the last few decades. The planned B.Sc. thesis aims to contribute to the identification of roots and prerequisites of this turnaround laid by previous development of Czech society and culture, especially after the World War II. It is obviously also necessary to analyse the preceding long- term development, from the beginnings of the national revival through Tyl and Palacký up to Jirásek and Nejedlý. The main subject of the work will then be an analysis of new elements in the view of hussitism contained in the film trilogy by Otakar Vávra (Jan Hus, Jan Žizka, Against All), and their reception by contemporaries and subsequent generations.

Women in Reformation
Hanušová, Barbora ; Vlnas, Vít (advisor) ; Čornejová, Ivana (referee)

First, the religious leaders beginning with Martin Luther changed the clerical view which saw women as incompetent, incomplete and sinful beings into one of respect to the gender and its specifics and to the biological role played by women - motherhood. As a result, women were respected in the society as wives and mothers; nobody wrote preaching about them being danger to men anymore. But with the attack on the monasteries women were deprived of the only way for higher education and independence offered to them in these institutions. The Czech reformation never fully changed its view on marriage. Celibacy and virginity were still considered better ways to salvation then marriage and especially its consummation. In the end both Utraquists and the Unity of Brethren accepted Luther's view on marriage, especially the marriage of priests, but never fully. They tended to see celibacy as the better although for most people impossible way. But the position of women in these branches of Czech reformation was...
