The changes of critical discourse in the review "Melodie" on the edge of sixties and seventies of 20th Century, and early in eighties of 20th century.

The bachelor thesis deals with a Czech musical monthly called Melodie. Particularly, it is focused on possible changes in critical discourse in the period from 60s to the first half of 80s of 20th century. The thesis also provides information concerning the origins of this popular periodical. In the first selected period (the turn of 60s and 70s), it propounds an objective view of the monthly's direction and, at the same time, an objective perception of its authors' work. The approaches of the authors are not only described separately but also in the context of selected sections. The thesis also highlights instances of contradictions between the content of articles and the prevailing discourse of the Communist government. In the second selected period (the first half of 80s), the thesis points to the coerced replacement of the management which was connected to a different direction of the periodical. The aim of the research is to describe in detail different approaches of the monthly Melodie during these two selected periods. To illustrate it, the thesis uses the analysis of particular texts written by chosen authors. However, the thesis also aims to provide a comprehensive view concerning the overall production of Melodie
