New Islamic Preachers in Egypt
Červinková, Jitka ; Lyčka, Milan (advisor) ; Beránek, Ondřej (referee)
This thesis aimed to explore new forms of Islamic preaching in Egypt and its influence on growing role of religion in modern everyday human's life. Together with the era of mass media new forms of propagation of faith and religiosity appear along with new Islamic preachers. These preachers might be characterized by western style and mainly by new tools they are using (satellite T.V. and internet), and that's why they are often being called "Islamic televangelists". This thesis tried to put Islamic preacher in historical context, to explain complicated role of preacher in Islam and concentrated about new version of Islamic preaching. It turned out that religious authority moved out from traditional structures and that the criteria based on which young people ascribe authority to the preacher totally changed. Together with new preachers women preachers started to appear, they want to form the religious scene as well. And it seems like that the new forms of Islamic preaching are much more flexible and adaptable to the needs of modern Egyptian life.

Hindlsová, Lucie ; Hnízdo, Bořivoj (advisor) ; Romancov, Michael (referee) ; Beránek, Ondřej (referee)
Komparace vlivu externích mocností - Spojených států, Evropské unie, Ruské federace, Číny a Turecka - v izraelsko-arabském prostoru Abstrakt disertační práce L. Hindlsová The dissertation thesis entitled, Comparing Influence of the USA, the EU, China, Russia and Turkey in the Israeli-Arab Area, discusses sub-regional power distribution of selected external global and regional powers. The Buzan & Wæver regional security complex in its expanded form serves as a scheme for measuring influence of above listed external powers through their military, political, economic and cultural foreign-policy tools. The analysis is conducted in four historical phases that were critical for the evolution of the Israeli-Arab conflict since the Israeli-Egypt Peace Treaty in 1979 until the most current period. The objective is to determine shifts and general trends in power distribution and to comprehend where, how and to what extent new rising powers exercise their influence. The thesis tries to determine, whether less synoptic structure of power hierarchy on the global level resulting from relative decline of US power may impact regional power distribution in the Israeli-Arab sub-region and the conflict resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian dispute. Therefore it primarily covers activities in the Israeli-Arab sub-region, but...
Sudetenland: sociological study
Beránek, Ondřej ; Duffková, Jana (advisor) ; Pauza, Miroslav (referee)
The Czech borderland is characterized by a distinctive dynamism, in many aspects different from the other regions of the country. This is mainly due to its specific development in the recent history. Based on the post-war decisions two substantial processes took place. Firstly, the local German population was replaced by the Czech one and secondly due to the geographical posíti on of Czechoslovakia on the border of two rival military-political blocs a total isolation of border regions and the declining intensity of cross-border communication occured. The extent of the colonization process was historically unequalled - the post-war population movements in various forms have affected all citizens of Czechoslovakia. One in four people moved to the border region in person, almost everyone has some relatives there, many others gained an additional housing in the area - the economic impact has been nationwide. The colonization constituted a unique social experiment, which lasted in various waves until the sixties. A similar process took place also in Paland, the course of which as well as its social consequences are the subject of numerous research papers. This topíc is covered in the thesis in the attachment section.
Saudi Arabia between traditions and modernity - domestic policy, Salafi ideology and foreign relations
Beránek, Ondřej ; Gombár, Eduard (advisor) ; Kropáček, Luboš (referee) ; Mendel, Miloš (referee)
This dissertation examines the genesis and the main features of current Saudi Arabia and, in the first place, the development of its domestic policy and foreign relations in the period following the Gulf War 1990-91. My research breaks new ground in that it attempts to place the dynamics of Saudi state in the wider political context and explain it by factors that have a key role in the current shape of the Kingdom and its future progress. The first chapter functions as an historiographical overview of Saudi royal family and deals with the main pillars of its power: Salafi ideology, Oil, and Military. It is almost impossible to research Saudi Arabia without mentioning its puritanical interpretation of Islam and the development of its ideology in the aftermath of 9/11. Within this context, I also examine the life and teaching of Muhammad ibn cAbd al-Wahhab, contemporary position of his religious inheritors in society, and the new ways Salafists developed to export their doctrine all over the world. The second chapter deals with Saudi Arabian domestic opposition that has power to contribute to state's destabilization. I explore its various shapes, from Sunni political activism, liberal criticism, Shi'ite opposition, tribal opposition, to militant jihadi ideologies, and examine the leading figures: Safar...
Sudetenland - sociological study
Beránek, Ondřej ; Růžička, Richard (referee) ; Duffková, Jana (advisor)
Sametová revoluce a následný vývoj, které bezesporu představují jeden z největších přelomů v dějinách českého národa, přinesly nejenom změny ve sféře ekonomické, ale také v oblasti ideové. Postupem času je možné vidět, že na jedné straně hospodářská reforma země sice směřuje ke zdárnému cíli, na druhé straně duchovní obroda národa, která byla tak očekávána, bohužel v dostatečné míře nenastala. Nechci se zde zabývat detaily "ideového vývoje českého národa za posledních patnáct let", rád bych se ale pozastavil nad problémy českého pohraničí, které přinesl společenský rozvoj por. 1989. V pohraničních regionech si lidé bolestně uvědomili v konfrontaci se zkušeností od našich západních sousedů, že dosavadní vývoj jednoduše není udržitelný. Tak jako všichni občané i oni by rádi bydleli v kraji, ke kterému cítí onen zvláštní vztah domova, na který by mohli být hrdi. Na rozdíl od lidí bydlících ve vnitrozemí narazili při "znovuobjevování" svého kraje na skutečnost, že tento není krajem jejich předků. Ve společenských vědách nazýváme tento stav kulturní diskontinuitou. Jak se s touto hořkou skutečností vyrovnat, jak naložit se zdejším dědictvím a jak probudit v lidech potřebu starání se o takovou zemi, to jsou otázky, které lidé v pohraničí dodnes musí řešit. Vyrovnání se s touto realitou se ukázalo jako jeden z...
