Proměny jihočeského pohraničí a jeho obyvatelstva po druhé světové válce v dobových pramenech a paměti obyvatel Kaplicka
MUSILOVÁ, Tereza
This thesis focuses on the post-war development of the border region marked by a violent change in its demographic structure - the displacement of the German-speaking population and the subsequent settlement of Czechs and Slovaks from the inland or abroad. The subject of the research is the transformation of the South Bohemian border region, specifically the region centred around the town of Kaplice (precisely the former district of Kaplice), which took place after the Second World War. Based on secondary literature, but especially contemporary sources and the living memory of the local inhabitants, this thesis deals with and further analyses the course of settlement and the transformation of the local society and the coexistence of different groups. It aims to analyse which national groups settled in this region and how they perceived the transformation of the borderland themselves. Based on nine stories, the thesis compares the experiences of Czech and German old settlers with the ones of newcomers. The final part of this thesis outlines possibilities of using these stories in the teaching of modern history in subjects such as Civics and Social science.

Adaptation of Chernobyl Czechs in Czech environment
Hlaváčová, Julie ; Uherek, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Pergl, David (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with the adaptation of the second generation of Chernobyl Czechs who re-migrated to the Czech territory between 1991 and 1993 from the territory of today's Ukraine. The primary aim is to find out how they perceive the process of their own adaptation, how they think about their own national identity and how is their identity specific. The theoretical part describes the historical context of Czechs in Ukraine and their re- migration back to their homeland. The methodological part explains the use of semi- structured interviews as a research method, and I also present the chosen method of qualitative analysis and the ethical aspect of the research. In the empirical section, I then present the codes and categories developed during the analysis. The themes that emerge from the data analysis are divided into four categories: perceptions of life in the Czech Republic, personality traits, elements of everyday life, and social ties. Through these categories, I present the resettled people's perception of the process of adaptation, integration into society and their own national identity. In the final part of the thesis, I discuss the findings in relation to the research questions. I try to relate the findings to the theoretical model of adaptation strategies developed by John W. Berry.

Language of Romania Czech Reemigrants - the Current State
Tůmová, Markéta ; Janovec, Ladislav (advisor) ; Hájková, Eva (referee)
The process of re-emigration of Czech countrymen from the roma Banat to their homeland, which happened in several historical waves and is continuing till the present, has to adapt to new conditions. Social, cultural and language barriers are among the many problems these countrymen face when adapting to their new environment. This work looks at the adaptation from a language perspective. We will compare previous researches by S. Utěšen and K. Haider and define specific effects of Banat Czech and the trend of its development. The recency of this research will be verified in interviews with re-emigrants. By conducting recordings of the interviews we found out that phonetical effects differ from the Czech codification. We further judge the influence of the Banat language environment and the process of equalizing the differences of contemporary and Banat Czech.

Kučerová, Barbara ; Kaleta, Petr (advisor) ; Junek, Marek (referee)

It deals with return migration after the Second World War and next changes in collective identity. Czechs in Zelov built their identity on the connection of religious and language-and-ethnic awareness. They came to Zelov in 1803 from Silesia, where they were from 1740s as religious emigrants. The thesis also includes this history of the migration and life in Zelov. Than the thesis presents outcomes of field research, which took place from October 2011 - to February 2012.

The modern-days re-emigrants from the Romanian Banat, their expectations linked to resettlement, adaptation and integration in Czechia
Kresl, Zdeněk ; Freidingerová, Tereza (advisor) ; Horálek, Adam (referee)
First Czech villages were founded in the region of Banat, Romania, in the first half of the 19th century. The original impetus had come from the administration who intended to populate the mountainous regions of the then military border. To this day a none too numerous community of Czechs surrounded by other nations have kept their original Czech traditions, speak exclusively Czech, and proudly profess their roots. In the course of the 20th century these Czech villages were hit by three waves of re-emigration which resulted in a portion of the locals relocating to their ancestral country. The last wave of re-emigration began in 1989, following the reopening of the borders and the simplification of the whole process of relocation, and it essentially continues to this day. Young people in particular come to the Czech Republic hoping to find here a better job, higher wages and better quality of life, which goes hand in hand with it. These expectations are often exaggerated and unrealistic, though. The first part of this thesis presents a theoretical framework of the whole work, and a historical overview of the Czech community and the individual waves of re-emigration which affected it. Attention will also be paid to the continuous interest in this community on the part of the Czech authorities and...

Negotiating and understanding of the concept of home in the family of Czech re-emigrants from the Romanian Banat
Baudyšová, Jana ; Zandlová, Markéta (advisor) ; Ezzeddine, Petra (referee)
The diploma thesis is based on a seven-month research of a family of Czech re-emigrants from the Romanian Banat. The aim of the research was to find out how these people understand the term home, how they negotiate it and what they related to it; the method employed here consisted of qualitative interviews. The researched sample does not represent the whole population, but rather the studied issue. The main focus was to gather as much exhaustive (and therefore related to understanding, negotiating and constructing of the meaning of the concept home) data related to the issue of home as possible within the given family rather than any universal application or generalization of the collected data to the whole of the Czech re-emigrants from the Banat. The author defines the term home as multidimensional, stemming from an individual and group experience, and from the current situation of an individual person; and as such she tries to depict it through different theoretical concepts. The thesis also presents an outline of a historical-sociological context of the existence of a Czech minority in Romania and its re-emigration. In relation to the main topic of home also emerged other topics, such as motivations for re-emigration, perceptions of Romania and the Czech Republic, response of the majority...

The Aspect of Transnacionalism of the Re -emigrants from Romanien Banat
Mertlík, Arnošt ; Cirklová, Jitka (advisor) ; Wladyniak, Ludmila Maria (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with the characteristics of transnational links with Romanian Banat re- emigrants who were born in Banat and now live in the Czech Republic. Attention is paid to the migration theory of transnationalism, which is based on the assumption that migrants continue to maintain relations with their country of origin, which the author tries to prove even in the case of the Banat Czechs. In the theoretical part of the thesis, the reader is briefed on the historical context of migration to Banat and re-emigration to the Czech Republic. Thereafter, the reader is familiar with the theory of transnationalism and its concepts. The heart of the thesis is qualitative research described in the practical part, in which the author carried out in-depth semi- structured interviews. Based on the analysis of these interviews, the work concludes that transnational identity of Banat's Czechs is uncertain. However, they as transmigrants form transnational networks beyond the borders that create a transnational field and keepkeep the Czechs in Banat in constant contact.
