Století [The process of industrialization and landscape changes in the Industrial Zone of Ostrava in the 19th and 20th century] Coordinator: PhDr. Petr Popelka, Ph.D. For: Czech Science Foundation GAP410/12/0487 Abstract: The project focuses on the quantitative and qualitative assessment of spatial-temporal changes in landscape affected by the process of industrialization. Anthropogenic influence related to the industrialization process will be studied from the long-term perspective (from the 1830s to the turn of the 21st century) using a wide range of historical sources (historical maps, historical aerial photographs, written archive materials, and statistical data from the relevant periods). The researchers will carry out an objective study of the influence of man on landscape changes during the process of capitalist and socialist industrialization. The study will be based on the microanalysis of more than twenty cadastral areas within the Ostrava-Karviná coalfield. 2010-2013 | Title: Tovární města Baťova koncernu [Company Towns of the Baťa Concern] Coordinator: Ondřej Ševeček, Co-Investigator Martin Jemelka For: Czech Science Foundation GAP410/10/1995 (GA0/GA) Abstract: The project focuses on researching European company towns built by the Baťa concern. From a chronological point of view, the focal point of the research is set in particular on the constitutive phase of their development, roughly circumscribed by the years 1930-1950. In terms of the topics and issues under discussion, the research is divided into four main areas. The first area focuses in particular on clarifying questions connected with the genesis of the specific urban and social model which became an integral part of Baťa's business activities. The second area concentrates on addressing specific questions and issues connected with the economic and social conditions, as well as those pertaining to the organization of production, which led the concern's management to establish company towns domestically and abroad. The primary focus of the third area is to trace the development of individual localities and to describe their specifics. Finally, the fourth area aims to compare Baťa's Zlín, as a referential model of development, with the other company towns being examined. The main output of the project will be an extensive monograph. ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL HISTORY CENTRE 2011-2013 | Title: Nobilitační politika habsburských panovníků v českých zemích v 18. Století. [The ennoblement policy of the monarchs of the House of Habsburg in the Bohemian Lands in the 18th century] Coordinator: Mgr. Jiří Brňovják, Ph. D. For: Czech Science Foundation GAP405/11/1450 Abstract: The project examines the official way in which Bohemian noble titles were granted under the rule of the Bohemian Kings John I, Charles VI and Queen Maria Therese (1705-1780). The authors will build a database of all administrative proceedings which resulted in the granting of a title, a coat of arms or predicate, and analyze the trends in granting nobility prerogatives and the incolat; the development of the administrative process will be described and analyzed in depth, and the changes and transformations of the nobility will be subjected to the same scrutiny, as will the motives for individual requests and the approaches taken to these requests by the authorities. The project will also involve a study of the granting of Bohemian land citizenships (incolat) and the way in which ennobled persons entered the society of the Bohemian Estates. The project will evaluate the course of the entire formal process of entering the Estates through a noble title or incolat. The project will contribute to our knowledge of the transformation of the Bohemian nobility in 18th century. 2010-2012 | Title: Hans Kudlich – osobnost, symbol a mýtus v kolektivní paměti Němců z českých zemí [Hans Kudlich - Personality, Symbol and Myth in the Collective Memory of the Germans from the Czech Lands] Coordinator: doc. PhDr. Pavel Kladiwa, Ph.D. For: Czech Science Foundation GAP410/10/0110 (GA0/GA) Abstract: The essence of the project is the analysis of: 1) the life, positions and opinions of H. Kudlich, on the basis of published, mainly German-language literature, as well as archive sources, printed sources and period newspapers;2) the reflections on H. K. by his contemporaries and later generations, as well as an analysis of the process in which Kudlich became part of the Sudeten German "national" historical story. Kudlich was viewed by Austrian and Czech Germans as a Bauernbefreier, as a certain symbol of social progress and a moral ethos in line with their subjective sympathies; they saw this ethos as both a responsibility and a right - an argument for confirming their leading role in the monarchy. Sudeten Germans in the Czechoslovakia and after the World War II identified with Kudlich's legacy, as witnessed by studies by historians and even monument culture for the older period. They were impressed, among other things, by Kudlich's conviction of the cultural superiority of Germans in Central Europe.The result of the project will be separate studies as well as the final monograph. ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL HISTORY CENTRE 2010-2012 | Title: Kulturní a sociální proměny společnosti poddanských městeček v 1. polovině 19. století (na příkladu měst Frýdku a Místku) [Cultural and Social Transformations of Society in Subject Towns in the First Half of the 19th Century (the example of the towns of Frýdek and Místek)] Coordinator: Mgr. Radek Lipovski, Ph.D. For: Czech Science Foundation GPP410/10/P067 (GA0/GP) Abstract: This project will involve research into questions concerning the transformation of small-town societies in transition from traditional to modern society. It will focus on changes in cultural values and social structures in subject towns owing to the development of proto-industrial modes of production (in this case textile production) and increased immigration to proto-industrial centres. The research will monitor the social position of representatives of traditional artisan professions with a view to the differences between the rapidly developing textile industry and other industries. Probate documentation will be studied in order to characterize a substantial proportion of the social spectrum in small-town societies; this includes lower ranks represented in this case mainly by servants, who probably possessed some personal effects, hence the existence of probate documentation. The research will provide a deeper understanding of social structure in subject towns; up to now, such knowledge has been relatively generalized. 2008-2010 | Title: Zrod moderní hospodářské elity. Vzestup a pád podnikatelské rodiny Kleinů [The genesis of the modern economic elite.
