Music in ritual. Ritual of Music.
Švandová, Michaela ; Tyllner, Lubomír (advisor) ; Traxler, Jiří (referee)
This dissertation deals with ritual and its connection to music. The objective of the research and the studies of selected rituals is to describe the relations between ritual and the music- dance elements within it. The dissertation focuses on musical expression. In the dissertation we describe a few traditional rituals from the European cultural heritage, and also some selected examples of secular ceremonies in relation to them. Sources of information include field research, studies of authentic ritual (filmed by Lubomír Tyllner), as well as specialist literature. The concept of "ritual" means, for us, a performance, a symbolic activity, the aim of which is to create and to consolidate social bonds, and to regulate, conserve and transmit social habits and manners. It prescribes behavior which should help an individual to win favour with supernatural powers, or which could have a positive effect on achieving an intended goal. The important part of the ritual is the concept of "liminality", and in addition "The communitas" status of the community. Victor Turner, who studied these aspects of ritual in detail, distinguished the term "ritual" from "secular ceremony" by the existence of liminality. In ritual and secular ceremony music performs many functions, and seems to be a very essential part of...

Music subculture and its influence on youth identity formation
Stehnová, Anna ; Tyllner, Lubomír (advisor) ; Kratochvíl, Matěj (referee)
This study focuses on the topic of 'subculture', especially on the issue of forming the identity of young people based on what music subculture they belong to. The author asks what motives can lead an individual to identify himself with a certain subculture. She wants to know what role can play music (or a music genre) related to a certain social group in this case. Answering these questions using mainly the results gathered during a field work carried out inside Czech punk subculture is the aim of this work. This more specific theme is set into a general context of subculture studies that is the main focus of the first part of the work. The second part is devoted to the punk subculture, which represents one of the most distinctive music subcultures. Its development, specifics and characteristic features are briefly outlined. In the end of the work the author contemplates about where the uniqueness of the punk subculture lies and if there are any values, attitudes and ideas that are characteristic for it from the point of view of its members. She also wants to know why young people identify themselves with this exact group and what their being a part of the subculture gives them.

Traditional Bulgarian Music in Interetnic context
Bečev, Georgi ; Tyllner, Lubomír (advisor) ; Kratochvíl, Matěj (referee) ; Kouba, Miroslav (referee)
The work deals with interethnic contexts in the traditional Bulgarian music, which in the past were often neglected or marginalized for various reasons. Convergent processes which take place as a result of cultural interaction between the Balkan ethnicities are assessed. A role of the long-term affiliation of the Balkan region with one state structure (the Ottoman Empire) is examined as one of the factors, which could significantly help mutual contacts between involved ethnicities. The author's starting points are based on the philological concept of the Balkan Linguistic Union, in which a set of phenomena and convergent tendencies in genetically unrelated languages of the Balkan area are researched. The author raises the question whether it is possible to formulate a similar thesis in the field of music and to define a notional Balkan Music Union based on the assessment of the main converging processes. For this purpose, two distinctive phenomena, which are both present in the Bulgarian folklore as well as, to certain extent, in a broader Balkan context, are selected. Musical and cultural interaction between two ethnic groups is examined at the ceremony of the Nestinarstvo/Anastenaria, folk mysteries which culminate with a dance on hot coals and is practised by small communities of Bulgarians and...
