Extractivism in the world of minecraft
Karvan, Daniel ; Kuřík, Bohuslav (advisor) ; Heřmanský, Martin (referee)
This thesis is based on virtual ethnographic research, through which it explores the environment of the video game Minecraft, focusing on its environmental aspects. In particular, monster theory, but also theories of modernity, extractivism and environmental critiques of development are used to analyse the data collected through this virtual ethnography. The focus is on how male and female players relate to the virtual environment of the game, and how this relationship is influenced by the 'real' world, and in turn, how it feeds back into it. Thus, through the aforementioned theories and concepts, the thesis explores the environmental dimensions of players' and players' interactions with the Minecraft environment. Keywords Extractivism, Minecraft, virtual, ethnography, monsters, player, environment, modernity

Spirituality in the context of body modifications
Adámková, Tereza ; Heřmanský, Martin (advisor) ; Kostićová, Zuzana (referee)
The presented diploma thesis aims to focus on body modifications of the view of spirituality in contemporary Euro-American society. The main effort was to answer the question of how bodily manifestations can be connected to spirituality and how it can be interpreted. In the first part of the diploma thesis, the term spirituality was defined as an individual component of personality that can be examined and interpreted outside the framework of organized religion. Furthermore, the text addressed the term body modification, which is defined in this text as a matter of contemporary Euro-American society. The theoretical anchoring of these two terms was established for the empirical part, which sought to prepare the main indicator of spirituality based on the interpretation of data obtained from interviews with informants.
