Discourse Rules Connected to Dying: How People Talk About Death of Close Ones
Exnerová, Dominika ; Grygar, Jakub (advisor) ; Kabele, Jiří (referee)
The thesis aims with discourse rules of dying of a close person. Author works with other theories, especially with Gorer's pornography of death and also comparisons of current situation and history of Ariés and Elias, who considered the current representations of death to be more a taboo than in the past. The practical base of the text is a research combining both in-depth interviews with young people and interpretations of closed groups, such as support group and internet discussion. The analysis identified two approaches in young people's families, focusing either on practical aspects of dying of a relative or on emotional aspects. These two approaches were in opposition against each other especially while both being present in a single family. Also, several conditions changing discourse rules were identified. The death of a young person or by suicide were more tabuized than death of an elder person. Generally, the research shows that people's view on death is not constructed by media as Gorer proposed, since young adult people have their own experience from their families. In this text, death is considered to be a taboo of the society because of strict boundaries of what is appropriate and inaproppriate. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Strategies of Bridging Differences
Exnerová, Dominika ; Grznár, Miroslav (advisor) ; Lachmann, Filip (referee)
The bachelor thesis deals with stereotypical perception of nationalities among members of student organisation Charles University International Club which helps the incoming international students with their first orientation in Prague and learning about Czech culture. The thesis is based on theoretical background of national stereotypes such as their importance for individual and society or influence of personal meeting with member of the nation. The author conducted interviews with members of the student organisation and formed a situation model of understanding of differences based on paradigm model by Strauss and Corbin. The inspiration was drawn from Michèle Lamont and Sada Aksartova for the topic of bridging the national boundaries in mixed working collective which the author followed up on bridging of the national stereotypes through transnational attributes of students or by behavior.
