Female Voice in Contemporary Czech Practice of Historically Informed Interpretation of Baroque Music
Jägerová, Monika ; Havelková, Tereza (advisor) ; Niubo, Marc (referee)
This thesis explores specific ways of using female singing voice in subculture of historically informed performance of baroque music in the Czech republic. The thesis is based on principles of cultural theory and cultural analysis. Main source for my research were interviews from the years 2015 and 2016 held with female singers specialized in historically informed performance, and my own living experience first as voice student, later as a performer in the field of baroque music. I explore ways of fulfilling fundamental demand of the subculture for "historical authenticity" (which is usually defined as "how did the music sound at the time of its origin"). I come to key term of "naturalness" and I further explore how this concept is embodied by the singers, how it affects the sound of the voice and aesthetic expectations of the singers and also listeners. I put the experience of "authentic" and "natural" interpretation of baroque music in context of thinking about pleasure, especially in terms of jouissance and plaisir described by Roland Barthes.

The paper analyses single diversion groups and conditions for their use. Diversion has been outlined effective means for simplification of criminal procedure with a significant part of criminal cases. It has been pointed out that the most important effects of using diversion is unburdening of criminal justice, a not inconsiderable economisation of financial funds spent by the state on enforcement of criminal justice and with some kinds of diversion it is also the desirable strengthening of the position of the injured party in criminal procedure. The role of the Probation and Mediation Service of the Czech Republic, as an irreplaceable subject when dealing with criminal affairs by diversion, has been generally outlined.

Geraldine Mucha. A probe into the life and work of a female composer
Vacková, Barbora ; Havelková, Tereza (advisor) ; Havelková, Hana (referee)
This bachelor thesis is concerned with the life and work of a Scottish-Czech composer Geraldine Mucha (1917-2012). Based on existing sources, its aim is to critically analyse her approach towards composition and its development in the course of her life. An emphasis is placed on the analysis of various social and cultural factors which shaped both her compositional activities and the way in which she addressed them. I therefore present Mucha as a woman of specific era and culture who had to find a way to combine her musical interests with other roles she wished to, or was obliged to, fulfil. Moreover, I discuss why the chosen way had to include dissociating herself from any form of promotion of her work and composing inconspicuously in the privacy of her home. The thesis is methodologically anchored in literature discussing the specifics of writing a female biography in musicology. Using a specific example of a female composer not previously reflected in musicological literature I wish to contribute to the exploration of this topic. Key words: Geraldine Mucha, female composer, female biography, gender, Czechoslovakia, Britain
