Current practise and representation of Argentine tango in Latin America and the Czech Republic
Erhart, Daniel ; Brenišínová, Monika (advisor) ; Horák, Vít (referee)
This diploma thesis deals with Argentine tango from the perspective of Czech dancers. I am trying to find out what impact tango has on the Czech dance scene and whether it still maintains its dominance in the competition of modern dances. At the same time, I will try to create a certain generic profile of a typical Czech tanguero, or tango dancer. In conclusion, I argue with similar research which was conducted in 2004 and then four years later carried out. The work is divided into two parts - theoretical and practical. In the first, theoretical part, I deal with the history of tango not only in Argentina, but also in the Czech Republic. I will find out how and to what extent the Czech authors are engaged in tango and what stereotypical features they worked with. In the second, practical part, I work with questionnaires, thanks to which I analyse the answers of Czech tangueros to this Argentine dance. I am interested in the views associated with tango and the personal characteristics of the respondents, such as their age, gender, occupation and last but not least their own dance experience. At the end of the thesis, I refer to a similar sociological research from the past and I argue with its results. Key words Tango, passion, intimacy, traditional dance, women, dance history, Argentina, Latin...

Magic and the marvelous in Berceo's work
Erhart, Daniel ; Sánchez Fernández, Juan Antonio (advisor) ; Lukešová, Alice (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with the Spanish poet, the poet of the Benedictine order, who is linked to the monastery of San Millán de la Cogolla; more specifically with Gonzalo de Berceo. The introduction focuses on the life of this exceptional author. The terminology of miraculous terms, the reasons for their existence and the history of their beginnings are explained in more detail. The second part outlines the characters that are the centre of the work, and the third chapter deals with medieval symbolism such as the understanding of the human body, or the understanding of religious minorities and how these ideologies manifest themselves in Berceo's texts. Subsequently, the thesis describes the poetic topography, that is the places where miracles take place and by what literary means the author creates them. The whole thesis constantly creates an imaginary boundary between miracle and magic, which is the essential duality of all chapters. Key words Medieval literature, magic, miracle, Berceo, religion
