In addition, I focus on the role participants attribute to these meetings and experiences in their daily lives, and how they describe their other religious practices. My findings in this thesis are based on data collected during my participant observation at the gatherings of this organization and from interviews with some of the participants of those gatherings.

Rituals in Waldorf primary school
Nesládková, Klára ; Bartheldi, Layla (advisor) ; Wirthová, Jitka (referee)
This bachelor's thesis explores the shame of rituals in a Waldorf primary school. The first part is devoted to the fundamental theoretical background for this work, namely Émile Durkheim's theory of ritual and the rites of passage of Arnold Van Gennep and Victor Turner. It then introduces concepts that are central to the study of ritual in the Waldorf primary school, which are community and communitas, secularization, alternative spirituality, New Age, and the concept of believing without belonging. The second part is devoted to a description of the methodology. It outlines the research questions, research methods, sources of the gift and reflects on the role of the researcher. The last analytical part of the paper describes and discusses the findings obtained through the analysis of the research semi-structured interviews and participant observation. It was found that rituals in a Waldorf primary school are an indispensable part of the whole Waldorf education. They create an environment in which the actors meet each other and share common values, ideas and strengthen collective feelings and interpersonal relationships through joint ritual activities. They also include rites of passage. The ritual itself is preceded by a long period of preparation, during which stories are told to explain the...

Memory overflow
Moravcová, Sofia ; Hlavičková, Kateřina (referee) ; Mléčka, Jan (advisor)
Since Japanese architecture is deeply rooted in a place, the right choice of location was very important. It had to be a place that I know very well and spent a lot of time there in the past. I have experienced it over the years and seasons. When considering the location, I also thought about what I want to create there. In my pre-diploma, I analyzed the basic building types for Japanese architecture: house, tea houe, shrine and temple. With that naturally came the question of how to adapt these forms in our country without creating ordinary copies or having to mark these buildings. How do those forms differ from our counterparts? What shaped them? Of course, the different environment and technical requirements for buildings (high humidity, frequent earthquakes) played an important role, but ritual was one of the essential aspects. The Japanese value norms and rules very much. This means that customs were an integral part, not only of architecture. The tea house was created by adapting to the needs of the tea ceremony. The Shinto temple emphasizes the sacred way to the object through the torii gate, rinsing the hands and mouth - just like in the tea ceremony, donating a gift to the temple (a few small coins) and saying a prayer. The house itself has a correlation with several rituals of everyday life, from ikebana, through the preparation of meals to cleansing the body. The motif of purification is central to all three forms. To clarify, a Japanese bath works like this: first you rinse your body outside the bath with a shower. Then you enter the bath, which is only for relaxation. It is important to enter the bathtub completely clean, because the whole family will use the bathtub for one fill during the evening. This kind of ritual is not limited only to households. Japan is a country rich in thermal springs, the so-called onsens. Many of them, as part of accommodation facilities, are a very popular place for regeneration. Slovakia, as a much smaller country, also has considerable thermal wealth. Most of them are used commercially in our country. In the place near the village of Kalameny under the Chočské vrchmi, where I spent my holidays since childhood, the place where my grandparents come from, one of these springs springs up. The famous thermal baths Lúčky and Liptovský hrad are located nearby. The goal of this work is to implement spatial forms in the given location inspired by the ritual of tea, the ritual of purification and the visit to the temple, as well as the connection of connections between “European” and “Japanese”, which have not yet been connected.

Memory and Identity of Wenceslas Square
Tucaković, Jana ; Halbich, Marek (advisor) ; Wohlmuth, Petr (referee)
The subject of the thesis is a representation of Wenceslas Square as a space of symbolic importance for Czech society. Historical perspective is conducive to understanding of such unique status. Contemporary space is a subject of commodification in the tourism area. Official memory is represented via public historical exhibitions and rituals connected to the Velvet Revolution. This memory is being updated in context of the war in Ukraine as a fight for democratic values. Protests and manifestations, happening at the square, express the identity of Czech society with connection to the war from positions of establishment and dissent. Within the thesis the contradictions are being examined through common topics - fear and war, hate and solidarity, censorship and disinformation.
