Ambrosio, Šárka ; Kropáček, Luboš (advisor) ; Vojtíšek, Zdeněk (referee)
Morální principy v současném šíitském islámu , zvl. Íránu a Iráku Moral Princips in contemporey Shi'a islam (esp. in Iran and Iraq) Šárka Popluhárová In my work I dealt with principles of Shiite Muslim fundamentalism and their reasons in the second half of the 20th century. According to my knowledge, the Shiite faith, I came to the view that morality is really dependetnt on religion and politics too. If politics and religion do not work together, discrepancy occurs in society. Even in secular states are people governed with moral values, without demonstranting their faith in God. Then the questin becomes, where the state takes over the observance of certain laws. The answer is that morality comes from God of the people. Thus, there is the claim that morality has no authority. Thus belief in God and his knowledge of laws the 20th century as a reaction positioned itself fundamentalism of Islam. The solution I see the approach of the two cultures, Western and East. Islam their observance of moral principles represent their religious attitudes.

Arab clothing
Husinecká, Markéta ; Kropáček, Luboš (advisor) ; Veselý, Rudolf (referee)
Celkový charakter arabského odívání byl v průběhu historie ovlivňován módními trendy, ale i řadou společenských jevů a fenoménů, stejně jako cizími kulturními vlivy. Toto specifické společenské a kulturní klima přispělo ke vzniku systému, jako byl ghijáropatření směřující k rozlišení muslimů od jinověrců - přičemž tato nařízení byla realizována z velké části skrze oděv. Hmotnou i symbolickou hodnotu oděvu v sobě spojovalo čestné roucho chi! 'a, jež bylo darováno jako výraz pocty, uznání nebo přízně. Zárodky této tradice vznikaly již v dobách předislámských či v období raného islámu, avšak plného rozkvětu dosáhly skrze instituci.tirázu, jež tvořila neoddělitelnou součást reality středověkého islámského chalífátu.

Bejas - history, society and culture
Záhořík, Jan ; Kumsa, Alemayehu (advisor) ; Kropáček, Luboš (referee)
A history of the Beja tribes goes back to the antiquity. The Beja nation represents o ne of the oldest known African nations. Exploring foreign countries and nations, was mainly for Greek historians, connected with several problems. Strange civilizations were described in more or less unreal colours, as for example headless or without other parts of the body. The change in viewing "the others" came in the Middle Ages thanks to Arab scholars to whom we are obliged for their valuable information about the Beja tribes. Unfortunately, we do not have a rich information base from the ancient times. We can get some information from the rock inscriptions, but there are only few relevant sources describing the Beja tribes. Especially Cerman speaking travelers and scholars of the 19th century play an important role in learning about the Beja. Their records can help us to look at their history and to know a bit from their everyday life. From the 20th century we have a lack of records and direct resources. That is the reason why reconstruction of the modern Beja history can be difficult. ft is surely interesting to consider how the view of the Beja was changing throughout the times. First of all, they were seen as the "wild ones, " dangerous nomad nation which is an enemy oj all its neighbours. Then, especially in the...
