Abstract: [eng] [cze]
The thesis explores Ṭariq Ramaḍan, a significant Muslim intellectual primarily active in Europe, where he has long been engaged in the issues of Islam in European context. His erudition, charisma, and earned reputation as a mediator between Islam and secularism have brought him great social and academic influence but have also allowed him to actively participate within the sphere of European politics. However, on a global scale, Ramaḍan is a controversial figure, with his critics pointing out that he presents rather inconsistent opinions and adjusts his discourse based on his current audience whereby trying to appeal to both Muslims and non-Muslims, which raises doubts about his true beliefs and intentions. Through content analysis of his official website, the student has examined and compared Ramaḍan's statements in Arabic and English, representing his discourse towards both Muslim and non- Muslim audiences. The focus was laid on the most controversial topics, namely stoning and the role of women in society. The analysis has revealed that Ramaḍan's statements in Arabic and English are indeed inconsistent. In the conclusion, the student proposes possible reasons and intentions for Ramaḍan's choice of inconsistent discourse, drawing from knowledge about Ramaḍan's background but also the... Práca pojednáva o Ṭāriqovi Ramaḍānovi, významnom muslimskom intelektuálovi, ktorý pôsobí hlavne v Európe, kde sa dlhodobo zaoberá problematikou islamu v Európe. Jeho erudícia, charizma a povesť prostredníka medzi islamom a sekularizmom mu umožnili pôsobiť, okrem sféry spoločenskej a akademickej, aj na úrovni európskej politiky. Ramaḍān je však v globálnom merítku kontroverznou osobnosťou a jeho kritici upozorňujú na to, že jeho názory nie sú jednotné a svoj diskurz prispôsobuje svojmu publiku v snahe osloviť európskych muslimov aj nemuslimov čo vyvoláva otázky o jeho skutočných názoroch a zámeroch. Obsahovou analýzou jeho oficiálnej internetovej stránky študentka priblížila a porovnala Ramaḍānove vyjadrenia v arabčine a angličtine, ktoré reprezentujú jeho diskurz voči muslimskému a nemuslimskému publiku. Zamerala sa na najviac kontroverzné témy, a to kameňovanie a postavenie žien v spoločnosti. Analýzou bolo zistené, že Ramaḍānove vyjadrenia v arabčine a angličtine skutočne nie sú jednotné. V závere práce študentka navrhuje možné dôvody a zámery, pre ktoré volí Ramaḍān nejednotný diskurz, pričom vychádza zo znalostí pozadia Ramaḍānovho života ale aj zo znalostí islamu, ktorý, podľa nej, hrá v tejto problematike kľúčovú rolu.
