In the Austrian-Hungarian, ethnically German gymnastic unions of "Deutscher Turnerbund" and "Turnkreis Deutsch-Österreich", between the late 1880s and 1918 there was an officially propagandized set of racial, nationalistic and religiously-ethical opinions known in the German literature as the "völkische Weltanschauung". This propaganda was also seen after the World War I in the Austrian union of "Deutscher Turnerbund 1919", in the union of "Deutscher Turnverband" which used to exist in the Czechoslovakia and in some segments of the German union of "Deutsche Turnerschaft". Using the newest search results, archival sources and until now predominantly ignored literature (e.g. unions periodicals, educational booklets and novels), this dissertation applies the analytic-synthetic and comparatively orientated method to answer the questions, which ideas the "völkische Weltanschauung" was consisted of, who formulated them and how they have been developed over time. Special attention is payed to the principles and effectiveness of the educational institutions (the so- called institution of the "Dietwarte"), fiction literature, periodicals and festivities in the process of the indoctrination of the young and old gymnasts. For the breadth of themes and the distinction between the official unions...

Creation and invention of national political culture in Bohemia 1848-1868 -Mediation between social and cultural history- (Résumé) Taku Shinohara This thesis analyzes problems of building of Czech national society on the countryside in the time from the revolution of 1848 up to the consolidation of dual monarchy in 1868. We can distinguish building process of Czech society after the abolition of servitude in 1848 into three periods: a period from 1848/49 to 1870s, a period from 1870s to the turn of the centuries, and a period from the turn of the centuries to the age of the "total wars". The first period this thesis deals with can be characterized by fundamental transformations of peasants' society after the abolition of servitude and the gradual penetration of norms and life-styles of civil society. It was rather a loose network of the local honorables, such as a network of voluntary associations and communal autonomous bodies than a solid organization of any political party that enabled the mass mobilization of national movements. This thesis emphasizes that political mobilizations of national parties (national pilgrimages, national festivities a other various manifestations) were not realized by any political purposes nor by any more or less concrete social interests in a narrow sense of the word, but by...

The goal of this paper is to analyse the evolution of the perception of the German gymnastic movement founder Friedrich Ludwig Jahn (1778-1852) and of his ideology in the German Gymnastic Club. Since the eighties of the 19th century, the Jahn's ideas had been specifically interpreted in the gymnastic clubs in Lower Austria. This interpretation, under the direct influence of growing racial anti-Semitism, consisted of an extreme national and racial intolerance. The clubs, since 1889 associated in German Gymnastic Club, gradually made their way to the radically national movement that gained the epithet of "völkisch". Various methods have been applied to determine how the club adopted, interpreted and in its own way also changed the Jahn's teaching in the field of the language, physical exercise, national and anti-Semitic ideology and, last but not least, in terms of festivities and symbology. The result of the study has shown that the "völkisch" interpretation of Jahn's controversial ideas enabled the Club to lay the foundations for the new ideology which was to become dominant in the gymnastic movement of the German speaking countries in the thirties of the 20th century.

Il lavoro di ricerca analizza in tutti i suoi aspetti la disciplina relativa alla rilevanza delle festività religiose nell'ordinamento italiano. Il primo capitolo è dedicato all'individuazione del valore che la festività assume nei diversi ordinamenti religiosi e in particolare nel diritto canonico, ebraico, islamico ed avventista. Il secondo capitolo analizza l'evoluzione della normativa unilaterale dello Stato italiano in materia di giorni festivi. Tra i vari problemi che interessano i rapporti tra confessioni religiose e Stato, quelli che più hanno dato luogo a dissensi, e che sono oggetto di trattazione nel terzo capitolo, riguardano essenzialmente la libertà di osservare il riposo festivo e di adempiere i doveri religiosi ad esso connessi, nonché l'obbligo dei datori di lavoro di rendere effettiva tale libertà organizzando l'attività lavorativa in modo che essa non ostacoli l'osservanza del riposo festivo. Nel quarto capitolo viene analizzata la disciplina pattizia, e in particolare le modalità di tutela del diritto alla festività e al riposo per i fedeli di confessioni che hanno stipulato un'Intesa con lo Stato italiano. Infine nell’ultima parte viene esaminata la normativa sulle celebrazioni pubbliche in occasione delle festività religiose in ambito statale, regionale e comunale. / This research analyses in all its aspects the importance of religious festivity in Italian law.

This dissertation thesis is focused on music performance within the bounds of Order of the Cross with Red Star in the 18th century. The history of the Knight's Order rises from the first half of the 13th century and concerns the only original Czech church order. In the 18th century Knights of the Cross belonged to the most significant patrons of Art in Czech lands. Church and monastery of St. František in Prague, the center of the Order, became the most influential culture center. The charity work of the Order of that time influenced the creation of the extraordinary institution - the Order's menza that had the significant importance for operating of organ lofts of St. František Church because it provided the sufficient amount of singers and musicians. The research is exclusively based on non-music materials deposited in the Cross paper fond (Nr.195) consigned in the 1st department of the National Archives in Prague. According the information of the inventory department, the fond contains altogether 2315 cartons of paper material and 3306 books. Until now, the researchers have been interested in these sources only marginally which was caused mostly by its disorderliness and most important discoveries have been realized mostly just by lucky coincidences. The main part of this work is devoted to St....
