Outwit, Outplay, Outlast: The Cultural Study of the Reality TV Phenomenon Survivor
Součková, Štěpánka ; Hanáková, Petra (advisor) ; Svatoňová, Kateřina (referee)
This bachelor thesis is occupied with the phenomenon of the reality TV show Survivor (CBS, 2000). This cultural essay examines the historical development of the reality TV genre. Further, it studies cultural meanings of the reality TV show Survivor, such as a social darwinism, rituals, a life in a community or a voting drama. The main part deals with possibilities of the representation of masculinity in television. Multiple masculinities are analyzed by using the methodology of men's studies, especially through the perspective of the hierarchy of masculinities and the hegemonic masculinities by Raewyn Connell, and through the concept of the mutilated man by Elisabeth Badinter. The final case study is focused on the representation of nonhegemonic masculinities in reality TV show Survivor.

Horizons of Saint Clara
Součková, Štěpánka ; DUFEK, Jiří (advisor) ; MRAVCOVÁ, Marie (referee)
This bachelor thesis is a comparative study of the film The Ideas of Saint Clara (1980, West Germany, directed by Vojtěch Jasný, written by Pavel Kohout and Jelena Mašínová), the novel The Ideas of Saint Clara (1980, West Germany, written by Pavel Kohout) and the film adaptation of the novel Saint Clara (1996, Israel, directed by Ari Folman and Ori Sivan). The study is focused on changes of content and style in three different cases with respect to the historical context and authors' personalities. The aim of this bachelor thesis is to point out neglected titles of major Czech authors, which were created in exile during the so called normalization period and which inspired Israeli filmmakers to produce the original, internationally known and award-winning adaptation.
