This thesis is divided into two coherent parts. The first part deals with issue of castle buildings in a specified area of the north-east Czech Republic. The aim of this part is to offer an overview of development and typology of individual settlements. Next, it introduces a model which presents the structure of castle buildings' layout within the specified area. The second part of the thesis focuses on the material culture of the castle Kumburk situated in the investigated area. The purpose of this part is to analyse, synthesize and interpret the non-stratified discoveries which were obtained by field walking in the castle area. The author attempts to place the results in a historical context of this castle on a basis of comparative study of scholarly literature, written and iconographic evidence. By processing the so far neglected archaeological discoveries the author also tries to identify everyday life in the castle from the 14th to the 16th century.

The aim of the thesis was the reconstruction of vanished subrecent settlement in the surroundings of Ktiš, as a consequence of the expulsion of German population after 1946, having focused its attention on three former villages Křížovice, Ktiška and Ostrá Hora. It was monitored the archaeological transformation at this area from 1946 until nowadays and its evaluation.

The presented work focuses on the comparison of the basic characteristics of cultures inhabitating the area of today's Czech republic and the area of the historical Avar Khaganate in the time period betweeen half of the 6th century to the beginning of 9th century. The groundwork for this comparison is the study of 10 sites - 5 settlements and 5 cemeteries. Two cemeteries and two settlements are located in the centre of Czech republic, two and two others are located in the centre of khaganate, the remaining two are located in the border area between them. These sites show us parallels between both preseneted cultures. We can observe the similarities in funerary customs and in patterns of houses and settlements as well. Movable artifacts, some of which we may describe as luxurious ones, also undeniably reflect contacts between the Khaganate and areas of today's Czech republic.

[pt] Pretende-se, neste estudo, demonstrar a coerência interna do percurso filosófico de Michel Foucault, quando considerado desde o ponto de vista utilizado pelo filósofo, ao definir toda a sua obra como uma problematização da questão do sujeito. A fim de demonstrar essa coerência interna do percurso foucaultiano, dividiu-se, este estudo, em duas partes. Na primeira parte, estuda-se a objetivação do sujeito pelo que se chama aqui de “práticas epistêmicas”, isto é, pelas práticas objetivantes das ciências humanas. Analisa-se, então, a objetivação do sujeito por práticas epistêmicas em História da loucura, em O nascimento da clínica e em As palavras e as coisas. Nesta primeira parte da tese, estuda-se também o modo como Foucault critica a a-historicidade do sujeito constituinte, analisando-se duas obras, onde essa crítica se faz presente: As palavras e as coisas e A arqueologia do saber. Na segunda parte da tese, estuda-se a objetivação do sujeito por práticas disciplinares, confessionais e normalizadoras, analisando-se Vigiar e punir e o primeiro volume da História da sexualidade, A vontade de saber. Ainda nessa segunda parte, em que se trata de estudar a questão do sujeito na genealogia do presente de Michel Foucault, estuda-se, por fim, concluindo a demonstração da hipótese acerca da coerência interna do percurso filosófico de Foucault, a subjetivação do sujeito por práticas de si e a dimensão ética conferida por Foucault às suas pesquisas, analisando-se os dois últimos volumes da História da sexualidade, O uso dos prazeres e O cuidado de si e o curso de 1982, no Collège de France, A hermenêutica do sujeito. / [fr] Cette étude a pour objet la démonstration de la cohérence interne du parcours philosophique de Michel Foucault, ici considéré, dans son ensemble, comme une problématisation de la notion de sujet. Pour ce faire, la recherche est divisée en deux parties: dans la prémière est etudiée l`objectivation du sujet par les “pratiques épistémiques”, c`est à dire, par les pratiques objectivantes des sciences humaines, analisées dans L`histoire de la folie, La naissance de la clinique et Les mots et les choses. Il suit, encore dans cette prémière partie, l`analise de la manière par laquelle l`auteur critique l`anhistoricité du sujet dans Les mots et les choses et L`archéologie du savoir. Dans la deuxième est étudiée l`objectivation du sujet par les pratiques disciplinaires, confessionelles et normalisatrices, mises en évidence dans Surveiller et punir et La volonté de savoir. Encore dans cette partie est analisée la subjectivation du sujet dans les pratiques de soi, bien comme la dimension éthique des recherches de l`auteur, presentes dans L`usage des plaisirs, Le souci de soi, et dans son cours du Collège de France, L`herméneutique du sujet.

Les églises rurales érigées entre le IXe et le début du XIe siècle sont relativement nombreuses en Languedoc méditerranéen. Le choix de ce territoire regroupant cinq anciens évêchés (Agde, Béziers, Lodève, Maguelonne et Narbonne) permet une meilleure compréhension de cette architecture, en s’appuyant sur un corpus qui regroupe trente-cinq monuments. Les édifices se distinguent par la forme simple de leur plan, composé d’une nef unique, terminée par un chevet quadrangulaire. Ce type architectural n’est pas propre à l’aire géographique étudiée puisqu’il s’observe, notamment, en Catalogne et en Croatie. Les recherches concernant les sanctuaires se sont tout d’abord développées dans le cadre régional par le biais des sociétés archéologiques et la mise en place de plusieurs chantiers de fouille. L’étude de ces constructions trouve un intérêt, sinon nouveau, du moins renouvelé par un essai d’approche de l’organisation du territoire durant le haut Moyen Âge, avec la notion de maillage paroissial ainsi que le rôle des églises parmi les différents phénomènes de polarisation de l’habitat (incastellamento et encellulement). L’étude précise de la structure rudimentaire des édifices laisse entrevoir l’impact des pratiques cultuelles sur la distribution des espaces et l’importance d’un élément architectonique : l’arc triomphal, support privilégié d’un décor sculpté, toujours discret. / Rural churches set up between the IXth and the beginning of the XIth century are relatively numerous in Mediterranean Languedoc. The choice of this area that brings together five old bishoprics enables a better understanding of this architecture, relying on a corpus of thirty-five monuments. These buildings are characterized by the simple shape of their plan, made up of an only nave, ended by a quadrangular chevet. This architectural style is not specific to the studied area, it is also observed in Catalonia and Croatia. Researches on sanctuaries first developed though regional archaeological associations and the setting up of several excavations. The study of these constructions finds a new interest through an approach of territory organization during the Early Middle Ages, with a notion of parish network as well as the role of churches among the numerous phenomena of housing concentration (incastellamento and cloistering). The accurate study of the rudimentary structure of these buildings lets us catch a glimpse of the impact of worship practices on space distribution and the importance of an architectonic element: the triumphal arch, preferred stand for sculptures, always discreet.
