Absence of female Rites of passage in liminal situations
JERIE LUKÁŠKOVÁ, Martina
My work focuses on understanding rites of passage that are significant or typical for women in Euro-American culture, with an emphasis on Czechs. I ask what role rituals play for women and to what extent rituals are determined by the period of transition, the need for community, the demands of religion, or by women themselves. Subsequently, I want to look for possible circumstances under which some rituals are or have become extinct. I also seek to answer the question of whether they are gradually being replaced by new rites of passage, communal activities or individual ritual acts. As a corrective to the encounter between theory and reality, I use an anonymous online questionnaire that targets women ranging in age from ten to an upper unlimited age. I focus on the following areas: how can ritual be approached? Do contemporary women need rites of passage? Is the topic close to their hearts? What other solutions do they find for significant life situations described as transitional? How do they evaluate the different life stages that correspond to rites of passage?

Porta Coeli complex - new use of selected objects
Grünwald, Jakub ; Vostrejž, Dušan (referee) ; Boleslavská, Yvona (advisor)
The topic of the diploma thesis was to develop a proposal for the restoration of the Porta Coeli complex in the village of Předklášteří near Tišnov. It is the last functioning female Cistercian monastery in the Czech Republic. The area is currently undergoing gradual restoration under the management of Bernardium, s.r.o. and with the generous help of the Association of Volunteers for Porta Coeli. Slowly but surely, both religious and secular life is being restored to this important cultural and historical monument. The thesis focuses mainly on selected buildings that formerly served economic and industrial purposes. Some of these buildings have already been repaired and have found other uses. Others have been used either inappropriately or not at all and have been dilapidated for a long time. The Porta Coeli Monastery has its own distinctive Genius loci and should provide a unique spiritual and peaceful atmosphere for visitors who wish to spend time here and reect on themselves and the world around them. The focus of my work has become the westernmost part of the site, where I see great potential. This picturesque but somewhat forgotten place is dominated by a massive Baroque granary and the sheepfold building adjacent to it. The aim of my design is to nd a suitable functional use for these historic buildings and their surroundings that will meet the requirements of today and help breathe new life into this magical place. With the help of new architectural interventions that take into account the normative requirements of today's legislation, I am making the buildings accessible to the general public and at the same time pointing out the historical and architectural values that our ancestors left us. The second theme on which I have focused my attention is the southern part of the site. Here, on the basis of a conversation with the monastery administrator, I am proposing a new wood-chip incinerator. The input product will be biomass from the local timber industry, which the monastery is currently actively engaged in. The purpose of the new building is primarily to address the energy consumption of the existing and proposed buildings on the site.

Zittová, Adéla ; Broukalová, Jindra (advisor) ; Markvartová, Eva (referee)
This thesis concerns the theme of female protagonists' dreams of social advancement in two novels, Gilgi, One of Us by Irmgard Keun and Women as Lovers by Elfriede Jelinek. It is divided into three main parts, with the introductory part focusing on the novel Gilgi, One of Us, the second part on Women as Lovers, and the final part on a comparative analysis of the protagonists' dreams of social ascent. Before the analysis itself, the first two chapters initially offer a theoretical background to the books in the form of a cultural and literary context and an introduction to the author's life. Thus, in the case of Gilgi, One of Us, the focus lies primarily on society during the Weimar Republic, the concept of the new woman is introduced, and as far as the literary context is concerned, the literature of the new objectivity is discussed. The analysis shows that the protagonist Gilgi corresponds to the concept of the new woman. Her inner attitude, built on diligence and discipline, is the basis for her ambitious dreams of getting as far as possible through her own efforts. In the case of The Women as Lovers the status of women in the second half of the 20th century is underlined, the feminist-oriented literature of the 1970s is introduced, and the protagonists Brigitte and Paula are portrayed as women...
