This thesis called Haptic Model of the Monastery of Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary is composed of two parts, theoretical and practical one. The theoretical part is dealing with selected period of Christian monastery complexes history. There are also mentioned some of the significant events of Christian world, that indisputably have influenced developement of monastic structures. Later on there is described the historical developement of the Monastery of Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary in České Budějovice (Budweis). The last chapter focuses on issues of people with visual impairment. The practical part of this thesis is based on creating of haptic model of the Monastery of Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary in České Budějovice in approximate measuring scale 1:125, which is supposed to be used primarily by visually impaired as a haptic-tactile aid, so that they can create an ideal image of shape of the monastery complex.

La première partie présente un Bernard de Clairvaux Philosophe. Fleuron du socratisme Chrétien il lui donne une inflexion marquant le primat de l’humilité (Ch. I), le détour nécessaire par la charité (Ch. II) avant de parvenir à la contemplation (Ch. IV). Entre ces deux points d’inflexion, un chapitre développe le rôle central pour lui du libre arbitre et celui de la conscience (Ch. III). La deuxième partie recherche la présence ou non de ces caractéristiques chez trois cisterciens parmi les plus proches de Bernard : Aelred de Rievaulx, Guerric d’Igny, Geoffroy d’Auxerre (Ch. I). Puis (Ch. II) elle examine trois auteurs cisterciens parmi les plus philosophes du XIIe siècle : Isaac de l’Étoile, Garnier de Rochefort et Hélinand de Froidmont. Enfin, elle en vient à trois auteurs qualifiés de "satellites" : Guillaume de Saint-Thierry, Alain de Lille et Joachim de Flore. / In the first part, Bernard of Clairvaux is considered as a philosopher. Jewel of Christian socratism, he gives it a new orientation, first insisting on humility (Ch. I), then on the necessary bend of charity (Ch. II), before reaching contemplation (Ch. IV). In the midst Ch. III develops the central part played by freewill in his system and that of conscience. The second part checks the presence or not of these philosophic views, first in the works of three Cistercians among the closest to Bernard: Aelred of Rievaulx, Guerric of Igny, and Geoffroy of Auxerre (Ch. I). Then Ch. II’s focus is on three among the most philosophic authors of the Order: Isaac of Stella, Garnier of Rochefort, and Hélinand of Froidmont. Finally, it comes to three "satellites»: Guillaume of Saint-Thierry, Alain of Lille, Joachim of Fiore.

L’ordre du Temple et celui de l’Hôpital de Saint-Jean de Jérusalem se sont implantés dans les diocèses de Cahors, de Rodez et d’Albi dès la première moitié du XIIe siècle. Leur installation résulte d’une politique volontariste d’insertion locale et du développement de rapports étroits noués avec les élites laïques et religieuses méridionales, largement réceptives à la nouvelle spiritualité promue au sein du monachisme militaire. Les Templiers et les Hospitaliers ont ainsi fondé un réseau de commanderies rurales et urbaines. La toile tissée révèle une conception propre de l’espace au sein de ces trois diocèses et témoigne d’une pratique particulière de ces territoires par les frères des ordres militaires. À l’image de leur propositum vitae, la domus, lieu de vie de ces communautés religieuses, mêle différents espaces et différentes fonctions, dont la traduction matérielle emprunte autant au vocabulaire architectural religieux que castral. Ces édifices qui évoluent tout au long du XIIe et du XIIIe siècle en même temps que les communautés régulières qu’ils abritent, participent, d’une certaine façon, de la construction identitaire du monachisme militaire. / The order of the Temple and that of the Hospital of St. Jean of Jerusalem were established in the French dioceses of Cahors, Rodez and Albi in the first half of the twelfth century. Their foundation resulted from a conscious policy to integrate into the local community and to develop close relationships with lay and religious elites in southern France, who were considerably receptive to the new form of spirituality promoted by military monasticism. The Templars and the Hospitalers thus founded a network of rural and urban commanderies. This network reveals a particular conceptualization of space within these three dioceses and evidences practices specific to these territories by the brothers of the military orders. As a reflection of their propositum vitae, the domus, the focal point of these religious communities’ daily life, blends together different kinds of spaces and different functions, whose material objects were named borrowing terms both from religious architecture as well as castra. These buildings, which evolved throughout the twelfth and thirteenth centuries along with the regular communities they housed, participated in the construction of the identity of military monasticism.

The presented work deals with certain aspects of catholic monastic life; it has been elaborated on the basis of a field research carried out in a female monastic community of an active order in the Czech Republic. In the work, I focus primarily on the topic of prayer and I am trying to answer the following questions: what is the nuns' attitude towards prayer like, which activities we can consider a prayer in the monastic community and what is the influence of these activities on actors in this setting? On theoretical level, the thesis is based especially on the concept of total institutions by E. Goffman and on Pierre Bourdieu's conception of habitus. The text consists of four major parts. In the first, introductory part I describe methodological and ethical issues relevant to my research. In the second part, I concern myself briefly with monastic life in general, its origins and development, and also with stages of monastic life of an individual. The following empirical part based on ethnographic data from my field notes is presented as a description of "a common day" in the monastic community. The last part is theoretical and analytical at the same time; here I deal with the main topic of the thesis. Firstly, I present Goffman's concept of total institutions and I explain how according to this...

The project deals with the reconstruction of the former monastery Trinitářského of the order and of the downstream area of the village Zašová. The purpose of remodeling is to create a proposal, which would consist of center socially needed social services and sufficiently, would use the hidden potential of the premises. The subject of the solution are, in particular, objects owned by the municipality, i.e. the actual monastery building, a former school building of the economic objects and the extensive convent garden. In solution is also included consideration of intending over the potential involvement of the parish building and the baroque church of the Visitation of the Virgin Mary into the overall idea of the concept. The whole design is trying to cater to the needs of the community, and to highlight also its development potential in the context of the wider surrounding area.

La tesi si apre con un capitolo introduttivo, che tiene presente l’arco cronologico compreso tra i secoli XII e XIX. L’ampiezza di questo periodo storico è giustificata dall’antichità delle istituzioni antecedenti al monastero cassinese di San Raimondo in Piacenza: una canonica agostiniana (secoli XII-XIV), dedicata a Santa Maria dei Dodici Apostoli, un ospedale di tipo medievale (secoli XII-XVI) e un monastero cistercense femminile (1414-1810). Si è cercato di mettere in luce che le vicende di queste istituzioni sono parte integrante della storia dell’attuale monastero. Dopo un accenno alle soppressioni napoleoniche e alle loro conseguenze per le religiose, la parte centrale della ricerca (comprendente gli altri tre capitoli) riguarda il monastero di San Raimondo in Piacenza nel suo periodo benedettino cassinese. L’erezione canonica è avvenuta nel 1835, in seguito all’iniziativa della fondatrice Teresa Maruffi (1780-1855), monaca piacentina. Nel lavoro si è cercato di mettere in luce l’influsso dell’istituzione anche in campo sociale ed educativo. Il monastero di San Raimondo, infatti, tenendo fermo il carattere contemplativo-claustrale della comunità che vi risiede, ha svolto e svolge tuttora un importante ruolo dal punto di vista scolastico-educativo ed apostolico in campo pastorale e sociale. / The thesis opens with an introductory chapter that considers the chronological period between XII and XIX centuries. The wideness of this historical period is justified by the antiquity of the institutions prior to the “cassinese” monastery of San Raimondo in Piacenza: an Augustinian presbytery (XII-XIV centuries), dedicated to Saint Mary of the Twelve Apostles, a medieval hospital (XII-XVI centuries) and a Cistercian convent (1414-1810). They have tried to point out that the events of these institutions are an integral part of the history of the present-day monastery. After a reference to the Napoleonic dissolution and to its consequences for the nuns, the central part of the research (including the other three chapters) concerns the monastery of San Raimondo in Piacenza during the Benedictine “cassinese” period. The monastery was founded in 1835 on the initiative of Teresa Maruffi (1780-1855), a nun from Piacenza. In the research they have tried to point out the influence of the institution in social and educational field. Actually, the monastery of San Raimondo, preserving the cloister-contemplative character of the community that resides there, has played and still plays an important role both from an educational point of view and an apostolic point of view in pastoral and social field.
