Work is devided into theory and practical part. Theoretical part with the title ``Sacral plastic Arts in Czech painting of 20th century{\crqq} is dealing with chosen particular appearances and forms of plastic arts in the surroundings of Bohemian churches and chapels. The artistic and social limits and possibilities are dealt here in the form of essay. The practical part is made up from six paintings of size 75 x 109 cm. The inspiration was taken with the apocalyptical part of Bible {--} ``St. John{\crq}s Appiration``.

The parties provide the exercising of human relations, because they are forms of collective actions symbolic and materially planed, prepared, constructed and executed. They are delimited by time and space and evoke the enchantment through the spectacle and the condemnation to clamor through their normalization. The parties also confer prestige and produce identity by linking themselves around an object. It is possible for the culture to materialize them because they serve not only for utilitarian purpose. As well they develop ludic and esthetics roles. In this thesis the Saints John s festival event in Estância was analyzed under a socio-anthropologic optic. I turned my attention to festa de fogo (activity that involves the presence of fireworks- busca-pé, espada e barco de fogo). This event has been present in Saint John s celebration for more than one hundred years. To its study I revived the city s stories about Saints John s festival and observed the changes that occurred in its celebration. I turned my attention to the conflicts, permanencies and prohibitions occurred through time. It was elected as the analyze method the ethnography from the public presentations and behind scene facts. One of the most important aspects of festa de fogo is the role of cultural artifact represented by the fireworks. They develop important functions inside the festival because they are the link between the process of formation and demarcation of the party and the city s identity. Moreover, they engross the risk caused by the chabu that are controlled by public politics of incentive to culture and tourism. The fireworks are also involved in the prestige given to the fogueteiro - he is a character who suffers the process of modernization according to the city and party s dynamic. / As festas conferem o exercício das relações humanas, pois são formas de ações coletivas simbólica e materialmente planejadas, preparadas, montadas e executadas. Há a demarcação de tempo e espaço específicos. Despertam o encantamento com o espetáculo e a condenação ao clamor pela sua normatização. As festas conferem prestígios. Elas produzem identidade. Articulam-se em torno de um objeto e possibilitam à cultura sua materialização, não somente para fins utilitários, mas lúdicos e estéticos. Neste trabalho situo a festa sob a perspectiva socioantropológica ao pesquisar os festejos juninos realizados na cidade de Estância-SE. Este trabalho dedica-se especificamente à festa do fogo, atividade que envolve a presença dos fogos de artifício busca-pé, espada e barco de fogo , ritual festivo que há mais de cem anos está presente na estrutura do São João de Estância. Para o estudo da festa do fogo, necessário foi revisitar a história dos festejos juninos da cidade a fim de apreender as mudanças sofridas na sua realização a partir dos conflitos, permanências e proibições ocorridas ao longo do tempo; elegeu-se como método de análise a etnografia da festa, a partir das apresentações públicas e dos bastidores. Um dos aspectos mais importantes da festa do fogo é o papel do artefato cultural, representado pelos fogos de artifício, que no contexto festivo desempenham importantes funções: elo do processo de formação e demarcação identitária entre a festa e a cidade; perigo causado pelo chabu, controlado por políticas públicas de incentivo à cultura e ao turismo; e prestígio dado ao fogueteiro por sua técnica, que sofre o processo de modernização, seguindo a dinâmica da cidade e da festa.

The starting point in examining the involvement of Christians among displaced Germans after The Second World War in the process of post-war reconciliation and establishing cooperation between war-divided peoples of Bohemia and Germans, in the field of cultural and scientific cooperation. Notable achievements included travelling exhibitions to mark 250 years since the beatification, 250 years since the canonization and 600 years since the martyr's death of St. John of Nepomuk. The exhibitions document the scope of Ackermann Gemeinde and Adalbert Stifter Verein from 1947 to the Velvet Revolution of 1989.

v Abstract The diploma thesis "Geophysical survey of the surroundings of the Church of the Beheading of St. John the Baptist in Dolní Chabry" describes the realized geophysical measurements at an important archaeological locality and interprets its results. The locality is approached from the historical, geographical and geological point of view. There are described physical properties of rocks, basic principles of geophysical methods used and methodology of field work and data processing. Finally, the measurement results are interpreted. The following methods were used for the research: symmetric resistivity profiling, dipole electromagnetic profiling, electrical resistivity tomography and seismic rafraction. Several anomalies corresponding to already known objects were identified and localized in the locality, another part of captured anomalies corresponds to previously unknown buried archaeological objects. Keywords: archeology, geophysics, archeogeophysics, Dolní Chabry, Church of the Beheading of St. John the Baptist

Much has been written about various aspects of the long presence of the Knights of the Order St John on the island of Malta. Nonetheless, throughout this literature there is one noticeable omission - a study of the commercial development of the harbour area during the first decades of the Order’s rule. Despite Malta’s small size, the presence of the Order of St John (1530 -1798) ensured an inflow of foreign resources which eventually permitted very dense human settlement and an international projection beyond the island’s shores which was largely disproportionate to what would normally have occurred in such a small and sterile island. The maritime nature of the Order and the heavy dependence on imports hastened the creation of an efficient maritime communication system. The development of all these economic activities resulted in a prime economic means of generating wealth and served as a pull factor to a large number of enterprising individuals, both local and foreign. Early modern Hospitaller Malta eventually saw the consolidation of an enterprising business class, which, out of sheer necessity, grew accustomed to operating well beyond its narrow confines. In turn, this contributed to the island becoming more open to connectivity with the outside world. Hence, the main aim of this thesis is to explore in detail various economic activities taking place in Malta during this particular period which spans from 1530 to 1565. The year 1565 has been chosen as a marker since during this year there was a break in the normal chain of events due to the turmoil created by the Great Siege. In order to reach this goal the practical functioning of commerce with its agreements and disputes, its currencies, its trading posts and its nodal points shall be analyzed. Furthermore, this thesis strives to show how notarial evidence, together with that derived from records of various tribunals set up on the island at the time, supplement each other and help to fill in gaps. While discussing different methodological approaches to the study of the Mediterranean, the first chapter of this study shall also assess Malta’s place within the wider Mediterranean historiographical framework. It shall also trace the development of Maltese historiography and its contribution to the study of legal, economic and social issues relating to the sixteenth century. Furthermore, this study shall place the various series of primary sources used for its compilation in their proper context, thus allowing the reader to evaluate better the significance of the information provided. The second chapter shall evaluate how the arrival of the Order provided for the setting up of new institutions and for the promulgation of new laws in order to consolidate its authority over the island despite repeated promises to respect and honour ancient rights and privileges. The following three chapters shall each be dedicated to a particular case study which will try to address specific topics that have been largely neglected in Maltese historiography. Thus, starting with an analysis of the grain trade, which was of the utmost importance for a sterile island with an ever-increasing population, it will be followed by another case study which seeks to evaluate the role of women, their legal persona and how this affected their contribution to the island’s economic activities. The final chapter will try to establish whether there were any commercial links between Malta, often described as the frontier and bulwark of Christianity, and its neighbouring Ottoman North African territories. If such trade existed, how did merchants, both Christian and Muslim, manage to overcome religious antagonism which should have inhibited the easy flow of trade? The objective of this study shall therefore be to shed much-needed light on economic activities taking place in and around the harbour area during a largely unexplored period in Maltese history. Moreover, it shall seek to provide a better understanding of Mediterranean commercial relations since the Maltese harbour was a point of intersection not only for people of different nationalities, but even for people of different faiths, such as Muslims, Jews and Christians of different denominations. All had one common goal which unified them, that is, trading and making profit out of it.

The experience that takes place within the hearts and that makes the one who has been baptized desire intimacy with God, should be manifested by a new manner of living and behaving in society. Moved by divine charity, the Christian cannot retreat into an isolated, intimist experience. According to St John Chrysostom, the possibility of a new world on the Earth is real, by means of the works of the Spirit. This new world, however, is temporal and transient, the firstfruits of the eternal Kingdom prepared by Christ for those who live such new life. Strugling for a better and fairer polis on the Earth will always be necessary, with the awareness that it is just the firstfruits of that eternal polis (cf. Phil 3, 20) for which we have been saved / A Vida no Espírito possui implicações que vão para além de uma experiência subjetiva da fé. A experiência que se realiza no interior dos corações e que leva cada batizado a desejar a intimidade com Deus, deve se manifestar através de um novo modo de viver e comportar-se na sociedade. Movido pela caridade divina, o cristão não pode refugiar-se no interior de uma experiência intimista e isolada. Segundo S. João Crisóstomo, a possibilidade de um novo mundo sobre a terra é real a partir da ação do Espírito. Esse novo mundo, no entanto, é temporal e passageiro, mera primícia do Reino definitivo preparado por Cristo para aqueles que vivem a vida nova. O empenho por uma polis melhor e mais justa sobre a terra será sempre necessário, sob a consciência de que ela será apenas primícia daquela polis definitiva (cf. Fl 3,20) para a qual fomos salvos

Specialized bibliographies were sought based on the life and work of the catholic mystic, as well as writings of the saint himself. The considerations on the peculiarities of the poetry of St John of the Cross are analyzed from bibliographical references which deal specifically with the esthetic and stylistic question of the mystic. The theoretical axis for articulation with the mystical field is the psychoanalytic field, based on the works of Sigmund Freud and Jacques Lacan. St. John of the Cross expressed his mystical experience poetically. The context in which the beginning of his poetic creation takes place, in a moment of intense anguish and helplessness, as well as the dimension assumed by his art, compose an interesting perspective for reflection within the psychoanalytic clinic. It is sought to investigate, by this study, if the aesthetic resource, used by St John of the Cross, privileging the sonority in its verses and, at the same time, maintaining the enigmatic character of its experience, reveals itself as a resource that allowed him to recreate a new way of being and relating to his existence. Such interlocution provides a fertile field for reflection on psychoanalytic practice / A pesquisa aborda a obra poética de São João da Cruz e realiza uma interlocução com o conceito psicanalítico de pulsão invocante. Buscou-se bibliografias especializadas na vida e obra do místico católico, bem como, escritos do próprio santo. As considerações sobre as peculiaridades da poesia de São João da Cruz são analisadas, a partir de referenciais bibliográficos que tratam especificamente da questão estética e estilística do místico. O eixo teórico para a articulação com o campo místico é o campo psicanalítico, embasado nas obras de Sigmund Freud e Jacques Lacan. São João da Cruz expressou sua experiência mística de modo poético. O contexto em que se deu o início de sua criação poética, em um momento de forte angústia e desamparo, bem como, a dimensão que assumiu sua arte, compõem uma perspectiva interessante para a reflexão no âmbito da clínica psicanalítica. Busca-se averiguar, a partir do exposto, se o recurso estético, utilizado por São João da Cruz, privilegiando a sonoridade em seus versos e, ao mesmo tempo, a manutenção do caráter enigmático de sua experiência, revela-se como um recurso que permitiu-lhe recriar um modo novo de estar e se relacionar com sua existência. Tal interlocução, propicia um campo fértil para reflexão da clínica psicanalítica

The theme of this master thesis is History of the hospital of St. John the Babtist in Jindřichův Hradec in the early Modern Age. This thesis is focused on the first period of its functioning. The first chapter shortly describes a bibliography of this theme published in the Czech Republic and a German bibliography. Next two chapters introduce materials survived in the fund Ústav chudých u sv. Jana Křtitele v Jindřichově Hradci and history of charitable institutions functioned in Jindřichův Hradec since the middle of 13th century. Some of them became the base of the hospital of St. John the Babtist. The chapter about the hospital of St. John the Babtist is focused on its own history. This chapter introduces property and financial base, an inner organisation and a daily course of this hospital based on founding documents, instruction and on other archive materials.
