Teclová, Petra ; Jiroutová Kynčlová, Tereza (advisor) ; Heczková, Libuše (referee)
The master thesis Helimadoe and Petrolejové lampy: A Gender Analysis of Jaroslav Havlíček's Novels examines selected texts and conveys gender-focused interpretations. The analysis of both of Havlíček's novels is carried out within the context of feminist literary theories. The main methodological and theoretical foundations of the thesis are "resisting reading" as introduced by Judith Fetterly and Jonathan Culler's "reading as a woman". Since the thesis is also a qualitative sociological analysis, it uses the processes of discourse analysis as well. The text focuses on the issue of power relations and their gender dimension, on the construction of gender and gender identity of individual female and male characters, on their sexuality, on their gendered activities and on the description and interpretation of the environment that the literary characters inhabit. A special attention is primarily (but not only) paid to main female characters and their revolt against the patriarchal system of the society. In relation to this problem the thesis necessarily deals with the topic of the gender social order and it shows what influence this order has along with other factors on the lives of individual characters. Key words: feminist criticism, resisting reading, Jaroslav Havlíček, Helimadoe, Petrolejové...

Gender Dimensions of Religion and Spirituality: A case Study of a Research on Spiritual Perceptions in Prague Students
Modlitbová, Klára ; Jiroutová Kynčlová, Tereza (advisor) ; Knotková - Čapková, Blanka (referee)
The main topic of my thesis is the gender aspect of spirituality based on the background data from Rican's and Janosova's research. Their research of spirituality has been the widest in our republic so far. I am going to use the data from 1498 students of prague gymnasiums and universities who are between 15-24 years of age and who answered thirty statements focused on different types of spirituality. Interpretation of questionnaire results of spirituality is not the only goal of this thesis. General analyzation of religion from the gender point of view is also very important. I split religion into three levels - subjective spirituality, religiozity as manifestation of spiritual need and religion as institucionalization with its hierarchy of priests with the specific influence and impact on the society. My goal is the general view on religion and spirituality in relation to women in the czech social and cultural context of the patriarchal culture.

Němcová, Marcela ; Jiroutová Kynčlová, Tereza (advisor) ; Smetáčková, Irena (referee)
The diploma thesis A Gender Analysis of Reading-Books for Pupils of 1st and 2nd Years of Primary Schools focuses on the topic of gender in education. Specifically, it examines the ways in which female and male characters are represented in the texts and illustrations in textbooks and considers whether these are stereotypical views of gender and whether these are gender-sensitive views. The research consists of a quantitative content analysis of three reading-books and of qualitative interpretation of their gender correctness and sensitivity. It is set in a framework of theoretical foundations of psychology, sociology, feminist theory and gender studies. The work is based on the premise that the school as an institution plays an important role in gender socialization of children and the thesis therefore aims to find out whether and eventually how these reading- books promote gender equality. Key words: gender, gender stereotypes, gender system, socialization, school, textbooks
