ČERNÝ, Václav
The hereby presented dissertation thesis pursues the life prospects of brothers and sisters related to new owners of rural grounds located in three South Bohemian villages at the turn of the 18th and 19th Century. The very core of this analysis was coming to know the fortunes and life stories of such siblings, from the day of birth until their passing a milestone of realized marriage. The work itself was based on an extensive study of numerous archival files, comprising church and land registers, and lists of subjects, completed with records needed and used by nobility. Methodologically, this work proceeds from genealogical and history-demoghaphical attitudes. The circumstances of rural farmsteads´ transfers, most imporantly the choice and age of an heir became the subject of research here. Furthermore, groom service of the owner´s offsprings and - as the case may have been - recruitment of his sons could not stay left aside. As a secondary subject of research, entering into marriage and subsequent application of marriage strategies as an important part of social mobility were put under scope.

For well-devoted reader (in the different methodologies of the history and European national historiographies), it would seem that the topic of the abolition of serfdom in the Russian empire and its impact on society and social and cultural sphere is largely explored. But at the moment, when the critically analyzing readers begin to think closely about how the understanding of serfdom abolition has worked during the last hundred year, it might be quite obvious for them, that no one of dozen university intellectuals and amateurs has tried to go to the heart of the historical event; many intellectuals only got all mixing up on the field of quasi-scientific abstractive terms...

PECKOVÁ, Štěpánka

The area of economical, social, cultural and religious structure of Czech regions and their transformations during the 17th-20th century). The presented thesis is dealing with, on the example of Třeboň domain, the period transformation of the institute of the rent-charge and the position of retired peasants during the 18th century on the Třeboň domain, specifically in years 1725-1735 and 1775-1785. For the research there were used two from four books of rent-charge?s contracts deposited in the Státní oblastní archiv (public regional archive) in Třeboň. There was chosen the micro historical method of the research as the basic methodological starting point for the analysis of particular cases. Also the exercise of certain lifelong strategies in the family environment in the country has become the subject of the explorational interest. The goal of this thesis was to ascertain, which circumstances influenced the origin of the rent-charge and why it was required. The analysis of chosen lifelong advancements of individual groups leaving for the retirement revealed, that in the person?s behavior in the rent-charge were reflected rooted models of behavior and action, but there was also possible to grasp even the individual strategies. It was possible to draw this conclusion even in the case of the investigation of the content aspect of the rent-charge. The research points out the difference of opportunities, which presented themselves to retired peasants and sustains, that the rent-charge did not mean the end of life, but its partial stage.
