The Sonnenfels´ weekly moral women´s magazine Theresie und Eleonore

As the title itself suggests, the bachelor´s work called The Sonnenfels´ weekly moral women´s magazine Theresie und Eleonore pursues a weekly moral magazine Theresie und Eleonore issued in 1767, 1773 and 1784. Its author Joseph von Sonnenfels was a jurist of the Enlightenment, a reformer and an intellectual. Theresie und Eleonore is one of his lesser-known magazines which was considered a women´s magazine and describing the women´s world. The main characters are named after Sonnenfels´ wife and her sister Eleonore. Initially the magazine had been regarded as a work of two women - the main characters. Later, Sonnenfels owned up to his work. The constituent parts of my work are the author of the magazine, the form of particular copies and the Sonnenfels´ fictitious authorship. His life and work is set into the cultural context of his time and Theresie und Eleonore is shown as a typical example of the Enlightenment era. The following chapter concentrates on particular editions of the magazine which was published three times in three slightly different editions in the 18th century. The chapter examines the forms of individual issues and their differences. The last part of my work pursues the Sonnenfels´ fictitious authorship which is especially interesting in the fact that the authors were supposedly women. The particular elements of the fictitious authorship are analysed in the order as they were set by Sonnenfels. It concerns the fictitious characters, letters and narration

Czech Germans between regional and „Sudeten-German“ identity. History in Liberec, Frýdlant and Jablonec

Bei der Identitätsformung der aus den tschechischen Ländern stammenden Deutschen bzw. der tschechoslowakischen oder Sudetendeutschen spielten neben dem wetteifern mit dem tschechischen Emanzipationsprozess (dem bis jetzt die Forschungsaufmerksamkeit gewidmet wurde) auch die parallelen regionalen Identitäten eine wichtige Rolle, die in Folge der gemischten Besiedlung überdauerten. Eine starke Verbindung mit den Regionen beweist eine große Menge an landeskundlichen werken; reich war auch die landeskundliche Produktion in der Region der Oberneiße. Die Forschungsgebiete, die im Rahmen der Landeskunde der regionalen Geschichte gewidmet wurden, weisen deutlichen Einfluss der deutschen, an der Prager Universität gepflegten Geschichtsschreibung auf. Bedeutend war aber auch die Gegenrichtung der Übertragung, indem die Regionalgeschichte als Quelle der konkreten Fakten und Beispiele diente, die die von den Akademikern formulierten Entwicklungstendenzen bestätigen sollten. Beim Konstruieren der einheitlichen Identität der Deutschen aus den tschechischen Landesteilen, bzw. aus der Tschechoslowakei, deren wesentlicher Bestandteil die eigene Geschichtsauffassung war, ist das popularisierte geschichtliche Narrativ und die Identifikation mit den Vorfahren, mit den bedeutenden Kulturschaffenden wichtig. Regionenwiedie Oberneiße, dieoftdurchraue Klimabedingungen, geographisch ungünstige Situation oder auch durch die Position an der wirkungsperipherie der höheren Verwaltungsstrukturen gekennzeichnet sind, gewährten den nötigen Raum, wo sich Eigenschaften wie Unternehmer- und Erfindergeist und die Fähigkeit, in den ungünstigen Bedingungen zu bestehen, durchsetzen konnten. Das ist die Ausgangsfigur des Narrativs der regionalen Landeskunden. zu dieser am Anfang neutralen Grundlage kam schrittweise der nationale Inhalt hinzu. In den landeskundlichen werken aus dem Anfang der zweiten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts erschien diese charakteristik im engen zusammenhang mit der Formulierung des Geschichtssinnes der tschechischen Deutschen, bzw. mit ihrer geschichtlichen Kultivierungsaufgabe und projizierte sich in die Betonung des Besiedlungs- und Kolonisierungsthemas. Unter dem Einfluss des Patriotismus wurde dann vorausgesetzt, dass für diese Aufgabe gerade der deutsche Bevölkerungsteil die besondere angeborene Begabung hat.An important factor for examining the identity of Germans from the Czech lands during the „long 19th century“ is the fact that, due to the heterogeneous spreading of settlement, astrong regional co-existence persisted for along time. The regional geographical publications (so popular in the German-speaking environment) described characteristics of the individual regions quite comprehensively. The study explores the influence of regional geography on the formation of the common identity of Czech (Czechoslovak) Germans. It focuses on the formation of the historical narrative, which was created by interaction between the academic sphere and regional research. Attention is paid especially to the development of specific themes, historical stories and auto-stereotypes contained in the local geographical production of the Upper Nisa (horní Ponisí) region.Przy tworzeniu tożsamości Niemców na ziemiach czeskich, ewentualnie czechosłowackich lub Niemców sudeckich miało znaczenie nie tylko współzawodnictwo z konkurencyjnym emancypacyjnym procesem czeskim, który był dotąd w polu uwagi badawczej, ale także równoległej identyczności regionalnej, trwa- jącej w następstwie niekompaktowego zasiedlenia. Mocne relacje z regionami dokumentuje szereg produkcji o kraju ojczystym w do- rzeczu Nysy. części badań w ramach wiedzy o kraju ojczystym historii regionu, wykazuje przede wszystkim wpływ niemieckiej historiografii pie- lęgnowanej na uniwersytecie praskim. znaczenie miał i odwrotny kierunek przeniesienia, kiedy to historia regionalna służyła jako źródło konkretnych faktów, przykładów, które miały potwierdzać środowiskom akademicznym formułowane trendy rozwojowe. Pod- czas konstruowania jednolitej tożsamości Niemców z obszarów cze- skich, ewent. czechosłowackich, której wyraźną częścią była własna koncepcja historii, jest ważny popularyzowany narrator historyczny i identyfikacja przodków, wybitnych osobowości kulturotwórczych. Regiony, takie jak dorzecze Nysy, wyróżniające się często surowymi warunkami klimatycznymi, niekorzystną sytuacją geograficznie i pozycją na peryferiach oddziaływania wyższych struktur administra- cyjnych stwarzały przestrzeń, gdzie mogły mieć wpływ właściwości takie jak przedsiębiorczość i wynalazczość, zdolność wytrwania w niekorzystnych warunkach. To jest wyjściową figurą narracyjną regionalnej wiedzy o kraju ojczystym. Stopniowo do tej początkowo neutralnej podstawy była nabierana treść nacjonalna. w dziełach autorów o kraju ojczystym z początku drugiej połowy XIX wieku charakterystyka ta pojawiała się w ścisłym powiązaniu ze formuło- waniem sensu historii czeskich Niemców, ewent. ich historycznym zadaniem kultywacyjnym i wyświetlała się z podkreśleniem temat zasiedlania i kolonizacji. Pod wpływem nacjonalizacji oczekiwało się następnie, że właśnie niemiecka grupa etniczna ma szczególnie wro- dzony talent do tego zadania

The aim of this work is to chart the phenomenon of sterilisation of Romani woman in the 1960s to 1980s.

Possibilities to use the canistherapy for children with special educational needs in the rehabilitation centre for people with disabilities of ARPIDA, o.s.

This bachelor thesis is focused on possibilities to use the canistherapy in the centre of ARPIDA, o.s. An aim of the research was to find out an effectiveness of the canistherapy for children with special educational needs in the context of a comprehensive rehabilitation system. To collect data, I chose following methods: a direct participant observation, an uncontrolled interview and a content analysis of the data collection. I led interviews with physiotherapists, a psychologist, a head of the day care centre and with parents of the children from the research sample. The observed sample consisted of four children with special educational needs aged 11, 14, 15 a 21 years. All the children attended the day care centre of ARPIDA, o.s. Children´s case studies, an actual course of the canistherapy including a picture file, expressions of individual experts including an evaluation of the effectiveness of the canistherapy at each child with the special educational needs, are recorded in the practical part of my bachelor thesis. The most effective method at the children with the cerebral palsy is an AAT method in the form of a positioning. The effectiveness of the canisterapy was recorded here mainly in the motor area. The most significant indicator of the effectiveness of the canistherapy at those children was releasing of their spastic muscles. Results of the observation then confirmed positive emotional moods of children during the canistherapy. At a child with ADHD syndrome the AAA method was used, through which it came, during the canistherapy, to an improvement of the ability to concentrate an attention and to an overall pacification. The effectiveness of the canistherapy was evident even in the area of the fine motor and communication abilities of children. I suppose that findings of the thesis can become a guidance and an inspiration for more frequent visits of future canistherapeutic teams, which will decide to work with children in the centre of ARPIDA
