Jana Cermanová Prague sculpture exhibitions 1898 - 1916 A contribution to the theme of gallery sculpture presentation Dissertation synopsis Sculpture as an artistic discipline experienced a dynamic rise in the Czech lands at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. This followed the much admired example of France, where Charles Morice, referencing Rodin and his pupils, asserted the dominance of modern sculpture over painting in 1910. Thanks in large part to major art world figure and educator J. V. Myslbek, the Czech lands also saw the development of a highly ambitious group of sculptors poised to address a growing social demand for monumental works (particularly memorials) that recaptured the city's public space. Sculptors worked on architectural commissions for decorative sculptures and on orders for funerary objects, which guaranteed them an income and enabled them to pursue their own creative work. However, it was chiefly this "flood of monuments" that attracted public attention to sculptors and garnered them social prestige. Sculptors became more deeply involved in art events and played a major role in addressing contemporary art world issues. The public boom enjoyed by sculpture carried over into exhibition halls, where ...

Selected models of re-education in institutional care for an at-risk child from the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries in the context of contemporary Czech etopedic practice: historical-pedagogical inquiry
Hessová, Lenka ; Bendl, Stanislav (advisor) ; Syřiště, Ivo (referee) ; Kraus, Blahoslav (referee)
The dissertation, in the form of qualitative historical research, follows the development of institutional care for at-risk children. The focus is on a detailed description of eight innovative projects created at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. It stresses the inspirational overlapping of the described projects in the context of contemporary Czech etopedic practice. This historical period was chosen as it was a time of all kinds of experiments. Looking back and describing successful solutions to care issues in the past can contribute to the current discussion on the effective form of institutional care in Czechia. The dissertation focuses on Junior Republic (USA), Ford Republic (USA), Little Commonwealth (UK), Baumgarten (Austria), Boys Town (USA), House of Orphans (Poland), Gorky Colony (Soviet Union), and Summerhill (Great Britain) - as these models are only briefly described in Czech scholarly literature. To achieve its goals the research relies on the combination of a direct method and a multiple case study. For triangulation, various primary data sources are used. Topics that have emerged in the past relate to the present situation via Standards of Quality of Care (2015), with 17 inspection reports from residential institutions caring for at-risk children, and 17 annual educational...

Changes in the structure of the population of Čimelice in the period before the First World War and after the establishment of the Czechoslovak Republic
PROCHÁZKA, Filip
The bachelor thesis is devoted to the description and evaluation of population changes in the South Bohemian village of Čimelice between 1890 and 1921. These changes have been described on the basis of a set of four population censuses which were taken during the above-mentioned period. The first aim of the thesis is to describe the village population from the point of view of historical demography and to compare it with general development in the Czech lands. The second aim of the thesis is to survey the population, divided according to their occupation or, more precisely, according to their socioeconomic status, through the microhistorical approach. Subsequently, the thesis examines the influence of the First World War on the population of Čimelice in terms of the fallen and of the men serving in the Czechoslovak Legion. In the last chapter of the thesis, the main aspects of the changes in the rural population in the perspective of the examined village have been summarised, and the possibilities for further scientific research have been mentioned.
