Šiplová, Emma ; Válová, Karolina (advisor) ; Svobodová, Petra (referee)
This bachelor's thesis examines the relationship between mother and daughter in the 1981 novel Silence (O Silênçio) by contemporary author Teolinda Gersão. The novel, particularly appreciated for its timelessness, seeks to highlight the problems of Portugal at the time through two generations of women and to emphasize the importance of communication between people who, after the Carnation Revolution, did not know what to do with the freedom they had gained. The protagonists enter the world of men, but their inability to communicate prevents them from becoming part of it. Their fates mirror and depend on each other. The fate of the mother will give strength to the daughter to find her voice so that she can change her life and be free. The aim of this thesis is to analyse the mother-daughter relationship in the novel from different points of view, the main ones being: family, two Portuguese generations of women and love, intimacy in relation to men. Key words mother; daughter; feminism; Portuguese novel; freedom; patriarchy

Energy security of Brazil in the context of climate change
Vaněčková, Jana ; Jelen, Libor (advisor) ; Svobodová, Petra (referee)
The following thesis examines the discourse of energy security in Brazil through a critical discursive analysis. The construction of energy discourse is illustrated through the speeches of two presidents and simultaneously two presidential candidates in the October 2022 elections, Jair Bolsonaro and Lula da Silva, in order to reveal hidden patterns and relationships. The relevance of the Amazon region for energy security in the context of climate change, the securitization of the energy sector, the important regions of Brazil in terms of energy security, the importance of hydropower and, in general, the way energy security is constructed by the official discourse, i.e., by the Brazilian government, are identified. The time frame for the analysis is the period from 2002 to 2022. The analysis of the discourses reveals that the Northeast and the North are particularly important regions for energy security. According to the results of the analysis, securitisation of the energy sector is not occurring, but it is a politicised issue used as a tool in international and social politics. However, environmental securitization in Lula's discourse is taking place. The analysis also shows that energy security is threatened by insufficient infrastructure for both presidents and high energy prices for Bolsonaro....
