Municipal Muzeum Polná as a place of Memory and its Contribution for the Local Community
Vyskočilová, Alena ; Janečková, Hana (advisor) ; Baštecká, Bohumila (referee)
The thesis deals with the influence of local museum workers on the civic community of Polná during the more than 120 years of the museum's existence. The starting point for the reflection is the perspective of collective memory of Maurice Halbwachs. The theoretical part presents different perspectives on individual and collective memory and the connection of memory with the construction of individual and community identity. It takes into account the importance of place as a factor of stability and its changes over time as a result of human action. The text examines the phenomenon of collecting from a historical perspective, summarizing the basic moments of development from collecting to museology and the emergence of museum institutions. Document analysis charts the time course of museum development in changing social and legal conditions. In particular, it focuses on the museum's management and their interactions with the local community. It traces this process across several generations. The analysis of the documents is illustrated with excerpts from interviews with museum actors in Polná since the 1960s. The aim of the work is to reflect on the museum in Polná as a place of memory and its contribution to the local community.

Reprezentation of Master Jan Hus Being Burned in Contemporary Czech Society
Chládková, Kateřina ; Činátl, Kamil (advisor) ; Randák, Jan (referee)
The presented bachelor's thesis is concerned with the topic of the portrayal of Jan Hus in the connection with the 600th jubiliee of his death, which was commemorated in year 2015. It is focused primarily on the way particular media perform the story of Jan Hus and on the influence of the nature of the media to the resulting image of Hus. There are three types of media which serves for this thesis as the main source: an exhibition of the Hussite museum in Tábor called Jan Hus 1415/2015, a movie by Jiří Svoboda also called Jan Hus, and a novel by Vlastimil Vonduška called The Hussite's Epopeia I. The character of contemporary commemorative practice is here analyzed by way of comparation with the older representations. This thesis also observes mechanisms which are used by particular representations in order to push through within the commemorative culture. The analyses of the sources in this paper is based on the concept of Cultural Memory Studies (Jan Assmann, Astrid Erll, Aleida Assmann) and on the concept of Memory Sites by Pierre Nora. Key words: Jan Hus, cultural memory, memory site, new media, politics of memory, historical culture Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Vyšehrad cemetery: nation place of memory
Babíčková, Lucie ; Halbich, Marek (advisor) ; Pauknerová, Karolína (referee)
Vyšehrad cemetery: Place of National Cemetery Abstrakt - English Lucie Babíčková In the beginning of the thesis I am interesting about the history of Vyšehrad cemetery and about some social live happening at this cemetery. For example I am interested in several additional funerals to this cemetery (for example Vlasta Burian), with several ceremonies around some people buried on Vyšehrad (Karel Čapek or Bedřich Smetana). I am also interested in the Svatobor society - society which founded this cemetery. In the fourth chapter I am writing about visitors of Vyšehrad and about their perception of Vyšehrad areal - especially what differences they can see between the park and the cemetery. I am working on this part mainly with theory of Pierre Nora about national monuments (or so-called places of memory). According his opinion nations can worship itself thanks these monuments and I think that Vyšehrad is one of these monuments in the Czech environment. I am also interested in some important events connected to the cemetery or about reasons for visiting this place. For this I am using typology of John Urry mostly.
