The Media Impact on the Collective Memory
Liberská, Hana ; Šubrt, Jiří (advisor) ; Vinopal, Jiří (referee)
This dissertation addresses the issues of collective memory in relationship with mass media. The key concepts from both fields are included. The emphasis is put on distinction between collective memory concept and other key concepts like history or historical consciousness. Subsequently the theories presenting correlation between the media and the collective memory are introduced; a lesser empirical part is also included. The main goal of this dissertation is to connect two seemingly separated issues into one compact concept, to demonstrate possible way how media forms collective memory and to support these conclusions by results from the empirical research. Keywords Collective memory, historical consciousness, media impact

Musical Field as a Sociological Problem: A Contribution to the Sociology of Music.
Šochman, Martin ; Šubrt, Jiří (advisor) ; Duffková, Jana (referee)
The following theoretically oriented thesis from the music-sociological field - which traditionally includes at least two different disciplines: music sociology on the one hand and sociology of music on the other hand, as it is presented in the chapter Music-sociologically investigation [Hudebně-sociologická zkoumání] -, based on conceptions of classical social thinkers, aims to present the notion of the musical field as being a fertile concept which enables an unconventional - sociologically based - analysis of both musical work and musical life (considering musical institutions, etc.). Firstly, Adorno's conception of music sociology (Musiksoziologie) - based on the "musical immanent analysis" - is presented as it strives to uncover the social aspect (das Gesellschaftliche) of music. The succeeding part of the thesis is engaged with another German sociologist - Norbert Elias - aiming to present his Mozart essay by interpreting it in the context of the civilisation theory. The core of the thesis lies in the chapter named Musical field [Hudební pole] which follows the considerations of the French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu: With its roots in the notion of the social field (champ social), this chapter presents the concept of the musical field itself as well as it aims to interconnect the seemingly...

Organic food consumption as an example of pro-environmental behavior: application of the theory of planned behavior
Urban, Jan ; Šubrt, Jiří (advisor) ; Smith, Michael Lee (referee) ; Buriánek, Jiří (referee)
This work has two objectives. At the empirical level, it seeks to investigate the role of attitudinal, normative and other factors influencing the intention of Czech consumers to purchase organic food, specifically by exploiting the theoretical framework of the theory of planned behavior. On a more theoretical level, this thesis seeks to extend the theory of planned behavior by including descriptive norms in its framework and subjecting such extended theory to an empirical test. The dissertation proceeds in seven chapters. The first three chapters are introductory in the sense that they discuss the motivation for the present work, provide definitions of organic food, and attempt to establish the link between the choice of organic food, as an example of individual pro-environmental behavior, on the one hand, and processes that lead to environmental degradation on the other. Chapter 4 introduces the theory of planned behavior, its assumptions and empirical applications in various domains, including organic food consumption. The empirical data from a small (N=253) yet country-representative survey of the general adult population are described in Chapter 5, together with the method of structural equation modeling that is primarily used to analyze them. In Chapter 6 we test four empirical models of...

Dynamics of spin polarization in ferromagnetic semiconductors
Šubrt, Jiří
This work was devoted to the measurement of magnetooptical effects in ferromagnetic semiconductors. We analyzed in detail the measurement technique based on a photoelastic modulator and we constructed an experimental setup that enables to measure the spectra of magnetic circular dichroism (MCD), magnetic circular birefringence (MCB), magnetic linear dichroism (MLD), and magnetic linear birefringence (MLB). This setup was used for the measurement of magnetooptical spectra of several samples of ferromagnetic semiconductors (Ga,Mn)As and (Ga,Mn)(As,P).
