The Folk Song Cultural Heritagše in the Context of Political Correctness: When hep hep is not hop hop
Uhlíková, Lucie ; Pavlicová, M.
The paper explores folk songs written down in what is present-day Czech Republic from roughly the beginning of the 19th century to the 1970s. It shows how song lyrics were treated in the past when they did not conform to the social conventions, aesthetics, ethical ideals, and patriotic goals of the time. When such songs were written down by collectors, their lyrics were often modified, some parts being omitted, others changed. This practice was followed from the early 19th century until the fall of the communist totalitarian regime in 1989. At present, these authentic folk song lyrics seem non-controversial by some performers, but many lyrics are far from it. One of the components of tradition is social memory, which is associated with cultural stereotypes—the generally fixed ideas that people have about themselves and members of different groups. These “Others” are usually members of a different ethnicity, religion, or social class. Their image in folklore involves certain ideas, ideological views, evaluative attitudes, and historical experience. Using the example of otherness, which in Czech folk songs is mainly associated with the negative image of members of the Jewish minority, the paper shows the possible results of misunderstanding the historical context: the anti-Semitic motifs of some older songs and dances resented in public may not be evident to those who perform them today.

Folk songs from the thematic viewpoint
KOLÁŘOVÁ, Kateřina
The aim of this bachelor's thesis is to provide a detailed overview about topics which occur in Czech folk songs. The basis for constructing conclusions is the analysis of songs present in Jindřich's reworked edition of a collection Nápěvy písní národních v Čechách, authored by a poet Karel Jaromír Erben and a composer J. P. Michael Martinovský. The practical part is preceded by a theoretical part, in which basic findings about the problematics of folk culture, more closely focusing on folk song, are formulated.

Linguistic Picture of Devil / Deuce in Czech Folk Tales
KOLÁŘOVÁ, Evelína
This bachelor thesis represents the ethnolinguistic field of linguistic study, with its subject matter being the genre of Czech folk tales. This genre is analysed based on the collection of Czech folk tales titled České pohádky (Drda, 1985). The analysis presents the view of the world in the perspective of a Czech native speaker - the linguistic picture of the deuce / devil in Czech folk tales, particularly based on Drda's work. The theoretical section of this thesis presents terms from the ethnolinguistic, sociological, and literary science fields of study. This section also establishes the methodology used for the purpose of this thesis in the context of linguistic research. In the practical section, the thesis presents an analysis in the form of a corpus of excerpts organised categorically by their semantic properties. This corpus serves as the starting point and allows the thesis to present tables of attributes organised by facets.

Mountains of laundry
Gogolová, Eliška ; Sedlák, Michal (advisor) ; Vačkář, Adam (referee)
This bachelor thesis Mountains of Laundry aims to look into a three-way relationship among human, landscape and textile, their meanings and mutual influence. Individual chapters dedicated to the art of textile, to respecting traditions as a cultural heritage of the past and its persisting values for today's society, to the way a landscape influences human behaviour and to the actual art interpretation of Mountains of Laundry, they also attempt to depict my personal relationship to cloth. This thesis follows the phenomenon of the gradual return of a textile media into contemporary Czech art and through soft-material pieces of art of particular artists it seeks one specific denominator as well as various grasps of this field. Interviews with designer Tereza Rosalie Kladošová and artist Daniela Mikulášková reveal motivations of artists who work with textile media in applied arts as well as free arts, and they also refer to an issue of necessity to create borders between these two art forms. The way of grasping a tradition linked to a specific region or landscape refers to personal experience in the practical part. Due to the use of the blueprint technique in the artistic part of this thesis, a more detailed introduction of this negative indigo print from its history to its current use in art is also...
