Three faces of Parisian bohemian and their portrayal in media
Robotková, Martina ; Novotný, David Jan (advisor) ; Čeňková, Jana (referee)
The thesis entitled "Three faces of Parisian bohemian and their portrayal in media" focuses on the media response to artistic works of three different genres that deal with the theme of Parisian bohemia. Central to the entire work is the French writer Henri Murger, who is recognized as the first Bohemian and a populariser of the concept. His 1851 short story cycle titled Scenes of Bohemian Life narrates the lives of four Parisian artists, capturing their daily struggles and joys. This cycle inspired two Italian opera composers, Giacomo Puccini and Ruggiero Leoncavallo, who at the end of the 19th century introduced their operas of the same name La Bohème. In 1992, Finnish director and screenwriter Aki Kaurismäki chose Murger's stories as a template for his film Bohemian Life. The aim of the thesis is to provide basic knowledge about the individual authors who worked with the theme of Parisian bohemia, and the reception of their works in print and electronic media. The focus is primarily on the similarities and differences in the portrayal of this phenomenon in literature, opera, and film.
Diversity, ecology, and biotechnological potential of yeasts associated with bark beetles
Havlíček, Václav ; Kolařík, Miroslav (advisor) ; Novotný, David (referee)
Bark beetles (Coleoptera; Scolytinae) attack woody plants, which is why they are considered pests from a human perspective. They owe their evolutionary success, among other factors, to numerous symbioses with microorganisms, with fungi playing a significant role. The mycobiome of bark beetles is dominated by yeasts, which, nevertheless, are widely overlooked. Intestinal yeasts not only from Ips typographus but also from other species of bark beetles have potential for future biotechnological applications. The aim of this study was to examine their diversity and physiological activities, which will help clarify their ecological role and biotechnological potential. Collections were conducted in the Czech Republic from larvae of the spruce bark beetle Ips typographus and from various species of subcortical insects in Kenya. Yeasts were identified and taxonomically classified based on rDNA sequencing. A total of 133 yeast strains belonging to 37 species were identified, including 9 species that could not be identified and belong to previously undescribed species and in two cases also genera.

Narrative structures in Indiana Jones film series
Jeřábek, Jan Lucián ; Novotný, David Jan (advisor) ; Štoll, Martin (referee)
The diploma thesis focuses on identifying narrative structures which can be observed throughout the Indiana Jones film series from the first episode (1981) to the fourth episode (2008). It analyses the film reviews and focuses on the way in which their authors have reflected the narrative structures. The thesis also aims on the analysis of the relationship between the positive or negative nature of the reviews and the overall success of each of the films of the series. Beyond that, the thesis deals with the presence of the myths in the film series Indiana Jones and evaluates to what extent it is being reflected in each of the reviews and in the reception of the audience. The qualitative content analysis of the reviews published in journals that specialise in the coverage of film news has proven the existence of a specific narrative structure that is present throughout the Indiana Jones film series. The analysis and subsequent comparison of the reviews has shown that the film critique consensually agrees that the specific narrative structure was respect in each of the films of the series. The analysis of the reviews has also proven the existence of a direct relationship between the nature of the reviews and the overall success of the films of the series.
Czech drag scene - a series of interviews
Pukovcová, Klára ; Osvaldová, Barbora (advisor) ; Novotný, David Jan (referee)
Practical bachelor thesis Česká travesti scéna- soubor rozhovorů documents the Czech drag and travesti subculture. The main aim of the theoretical part is to introduce an interview as a journalistic genre, which is used in the practical part, and to transparently describe how the author proceeded in creating the interviews. The end of the thesis deals with the topic itself, namely travesti and drag as a kind of performance art that is closely related to expressive make-up, costumes and queer culture. The practical part consists of five journalistic interviews that capture the experiences of Czech drag and travesti artists. In semi-structured interviews, the artists talk about their own experiences or the challenges they face. They mention, for example, the impact of the American reality talent show RuPaul's Drag Race, which helped make drag globally visible, public prejudice, or financial valuation. The goal of the bachelor thesis is to create a series of interviews that will introduce this community to the reader. Additionally, the thesis describes the history, present and outlines the future of the Czech travesti/drag scene.
The perception of the term activist journalism by czech journalists
Kumsová, Ilike ; Osvaldová, Barbora (advisor) ; Novotný, David Jan (referee)
This bachelor thesis tries to anchor the term activist journalism on the basis of how Czech journalists perceive it. The thesis focuses on the historical development of objectivity, as well as the currents of journalism that deviate from it, global definitions of activism and advocacy, and these same definitions associated with branches of journalism. Objectivity and its relevance in 21st century journalism is included in the theoretical part of the thesis, along with a polemic. The practical part is devoted to qualitative semi-structured in-depth interviews with six Czech journalists and their understanding of objectivity, activism in journalism and other topics discussed in the theoretical part of the thesis. On their basis, the boundaries of Czech journalists' understanding of activist journalism are suggested as advocacy of correct opinion, absence of criticism (of a given topic) and concealment of reality are defined. At the same time, it was discovered that there is a split between what Czech journalists understand as activist journalism and its academic definition. Ilike Kumsová
Topolčianky - Summer residence of Czechoslovak presidents
Žohová, Magdalena ; Lovaš, Karol (advisor) ; Novotný, David Jan (referee)
The aim of this bachelor thesis is to present the historically significant castle of Topoľčianky and its surroundings. In the form of a radio podcast, the author presents a comprehensive information package that introduces the castle and its surroundings from a historical perspective and offers interviews with historians and locals. The podcast form in this case incorporates several well-known and defined radio genres. It combines elements of the classic interview, documentary, but also reportage. Listeners of the practical output (podcast) should learn a lot of summarized information about the historically significant place used by former rulers and presidents, led by Tomas Garrigue Masaryk, as their summer residence. The result of the work should therefore be a mapping of the site in a varied and attractive, yet informative form.
Analysis of discussion topies in the Václav Havel Library in 2012-2021
Šimůnková, Natálie ; Novotný, David Jan (advisor) ; Osvaldová, Barbora (referee)
The basic idea of the thesis is to examine the interconnection of the media field and the civic sector on the example of the Václav Havel Library - a public benefit society founded in 2004, which organizes various seminars, readings, exhibitions, lectures, debates, concerts and theatre performances. The theoretical part deals with the basic concepts of journalism and civil society, while its second section explains the specificities of the civil sector emerging from the dissident environment in the Visegrad countries. The environment of dissent also formed a significant part of the life of Václav Havel, who became a symbol of civic engagement worldwide, and the Václav Havel Library now preserves his literary, dramatic, dissident and political legacy. The ambition of this thesis is to introduce the public to the Library's production and compare its real programme schema with its media image, to reveal which programmes of the Václav Havel Library came through the media gates in 2012 and 2022, to identify the most media successful programmes and to interpret the results. The Václav Havel Library invests time and effort in promoting its productions, using its own online television channel, the Havel Channel, and establishing collaborations with media houses, which allows it to become part of the...

Media Response to Erben's Unfading Bouquet
Protasevičová, Alexandra ; Novotný, David Jan (advisor) ; Čeňková, Jana (referee)
The thesis deals with a comparison and compilation of the media response to the various versions of Karel Jaromír Erben's The Bouquet. The subject of comparison is the multiple reviews, starting with those published in the press immediately after the first historical publication of the poetry collection, followed by the reaction to the theatrical production at the Semafor theatre in 1972, to the reactions to the more modern adaptation in 2009. The theatrical production at the National Theatre, which premiered in 2019, was chosen for a further appropriate comparison. The thesis also focuses on film production, specifically Bouquet, directed by F. A. Brabec from 2000. The aim of the thesis is to answer the question of how the different versions of Erben's Bouquet differ, and what causes the significant differences. Another question is why artists feel the need to return to the work and reinterpret the story according to them. The thesis is a critical-historical analysis, bringing a media perspective, but also a cultural-political one, with a focus on the personal dimension.
