The master thesis deals with the development and display of advertisement for medicine and health- related products and services in Czech women's magazines. We compare here two periods - The First Czechoslovak Republic and present. It focuses primarily on these following questions: Does the display of health-related products have changed? Do we still advertise products of the similar character? Has the ideal of heath changed and things which were believed healthy in the past, are not considered healthy anymore? Is the difference related to historical events or rather related to the current state of society and its preferences? The main titles for analysis were Eva: A journal of modern women from the 1930s, which was published by Melantrich and current lifestyle magazine Elle, which is published by Hubert Burda Media. The theoretical part summarizes current basic knowledge about press, advertising, healthcare. In the practical part are more closely introduced the research methods - content and image analysis and also the process of analysis and the comparison by itself. An integral part of the thesis is the attached advertisements, on which the analysis was based, and which serve for better illustration of the above-mentioned phenomena.

This diploma thesis "Freelance journalist Franta Kocourek" deals with the life and career of Franta Kocourek, the important Czechoslovak journalist in the 20. century. Diploma focuses especially on his working in the press media - prestigious periodicals of the First Czechoslovak Republic weekly magazine Přítomnost and daily newspaper Lidové noviny, not too much successful weekly magazine Groš, leaded by himself, and daily newspaper Slovenský hlas. Kocourek especially had concentrated on reportages, but he was also very universial in styles and issues. He had been writing profound reportages about growing influence of nacism besides surveys about people living at the edge of society, expert studies about the cinemotagraphy or essayes.

Das vom Institut für Slavistik der TU Dresden und der Brücke/Most-Stiftung im Rahmen der 16. Tschechisch-Deutschen Kulturtage am 7. November 2014 veranstaltete 8. Bohemicum Dresdense war der Persönlichkeit, dem Denken und den Wirkungen Tomáš Garrigue Masaryks gewidmet. Äußerer Anlass zur Wahl des Themas war die Erinnerung an den Ausbruch des Ersten Weltkriegs, in dessen Folge die Erste Tschechoslowakische Republik mit Masaryk als ihrem ersten Präsidenten entstand. Dass das Jahr 1914 für Masaryk auch persönlich eine Zäsur darstellte, daran erinnerte der Generalkonsul der Tschechischen Republik, Dr. Jiří Kuděla, in seinem Grußwort. Im November 1914 habe Masaryk buchstäblich die Koffer gepackt und seine akademische Karriere hinter sich gelassen, um sich seiner politischen Vision zu widmen. Bis heute sei Masaryk eine politische Leitfigur in der Tschechischen Republik und die bekannte Abkürzung TGM für viele Tschechen fast so etwas wie eine magische Formel. Gleichwohl sollte Masaryk auf der Tagung nicht nur als politischer Visionär und Staatsmann, sondern auch – und vor allem – als Philosoph, Literat und religiöser Denker zur Geltung kommen, was Holger Kuße vom Institut für Slavistik in seiner Begrüßung der TagungsteilnehmerInnen hervorhob.

Mgr. Magdalena Bystrzak The "Slovak Question" in Early Alexander Matuška's Works ABSTRACT The presented thesis deals with the issue of the "Slovak question" in early Alexander Matuška's works of 1930s. The author has in mind that A. Matuška's attitude towards the Slovak question was shaped by his contacts with the Czech intellectual elite during his studies at the Charles University in Prague (1928-1934). She comes out of an assumption that the "Slovak question" has mainly a cultural character in early A. Matuška's works. In the first part of the thesis, the author tries to show the character of the discourse on the "Slovak question" in 1930s. By researching debates on the "Slovak question" in representative cultural journals of the time, the author tries to point out that the "Slovak question" debate was not only about the emancipation of a the Slovak nation, but also about the modernization of the Slovak society. A. Matuška's early works are interpreted as a part of this effort. Both the second and the third parts are devoted to those aspects of A. Matuška's early works that the author considers as the critic's proposals for the modernization of the Slovak society. The second part is focused on his rejection of the romantic paradigm of the Slovak culture and on the A. Matuška's refusal of the then views...
