Cette étude vise à révéler l’histoire évolutive de l’image de la Manileña à l’aide des traces textuelles et iconographiques découvertes dans la presse écrite disponible à Manille de 1893 à 1938. Ainsi, nous pourrons décrire et comprendre les continuités et les ruptures des images et des représentations de la Manileña. Il est urgent de mieux comprendre comment les médias reproduisent et construisent socialement le genre. Cette recherche vise à mettre au jour les conséquences et les répercussions de la culture visuelle sur l’image du genre dans le contexte de la modernité et de l’urbanisation. Notre étude explore le croisement entre histoire, genre, médias, modernité et urbanisation dans la sphère publique, la sphère privée et toutes les sphères intermédiaires. Nous espérons que cette thèse contribuera à la compréhension de la formation des représentations dans un contexte colonial de modernisation et d’urbanisation rapides. / This study hopes to provide the evolving story of the Manileña image through the usage of text and iconography found in print media available in Manila from 1898-1938. Through this process, the narrative of the continuities and changes of the images and representations of the Manileña that were created and portrayed in the periodicals may be seen and understood. This study also seeks to examine the various issues, perspectives and concerns that cropped up due to the changes that occurred. There is a need to understand how media reproduce and socially construct gender. This research hopes to find out the implications of visual culture and its impact on a gendered image in the face of modernity and urbanization. The study will interrogate the intersection of history, gender, media, modernity and urbanization as it plays in the realms of the public sphere, the private sphere and the unnamed realms in between. The study will hopefully add to the understanding of image formation in a colonial context undergoing rapid modernity and urbanization.

This diploma thesis focuses on the Canary Islands special arrangements in taxation in the context of the international trade since the end of the 18th century, which were related to their unique physiographical and socio-economical conditions. Long- term calling of a local society for a taxation which could lead the islands from a deep economic crises of the first half of the 19th century and spreading the idea of liberalism in international trade, culminated in declaration of Puertos Francos in 1852. Granting of Puertos Francos led to closing of customs houses and abolition of some duties connected with the foreign exchange. Thanks to the new system of taxation, by the turn of the 18th and 19th century, the Canary Islands became an important junction of the international trade and attracted interest of colonial empires, which used the islands as a starting point of the trails to their overseas territories.

My thesis is concerned with the analysis of philosopher Marie Štechová. Based to the previous thesis (defended in 2015 at the University of Ostrava, lead by Prof. Zdeňka Kalnická), which summarizes the published works and manuscripts by Štechová, I can spread the previous research and so in this I can concentrate on the inclusion of the thinker into the context and especially the exploration of the specific gender aspects of her philosophy. These will then be compared with the views of other thinkers and thinkers of the period. The main aim of this diploma thesis is to extend not only the philosophical but also the literary canon about female thinkers, and also to bring closer the idea of the femininity of thinkers and thinkers at the end of the 19th century on the Czech territory.
