Hrušková, Šárka ; Dvořáková, Markéta (advisor) ; Dvořáková, Michaela (referee)
The reason why I choose this topic was the fact that I haven't managed to find any comprehensive overview of local traditions and habits and also that I have been living in this area all my life and so I have many findings of my own to use. There are new traditions raising in recent years and also some of the old ones are beeing revived. The aim of this thesis is to discover and note the traditions, which were held in the past and also the traditions that are new. At first we look at the Czech Merano area, describe it's nature characteristics, history and some of the famous people, who came from there. Then there is a list of concrete traditions split into groups by its type - from the historical traditions based on folk and christian holidays to the modern ones. It also reminds some of the extincted traditions. There also is a remark of the local chronicle, which has been an important source of information. In the conclusion there is a short notice about the contribution of this work and some of the possibilities of it's utilization in practice.

Relationship between taste and social hierarchy in Baku, Azerbaijan
Garayzada, Nigar
In the bachelor thesis I am going to examine the relationships between art and society. As French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu argued in his Distinction: A Social Critique of the Judgement of Taste, “no judgement of taste is innocent” (1979). Sensing and experiencing aesthetics is not objectively given but rather the result of continuous choices between what we sense or perceive as aesthetically satisfying and what we consider tasteless, hideous or even trumpery. These various aesthetic choices represent positions within or mutual relations between classes. According to Bourdieu, society functions as a system of power relations and simultaneously as a symbolic system in which subtle differences in taste become the basis of the social hierarchy. Thus, Bourdieu’s thesis on the perception and conceptualization of taste provides us with useful analytical tools to study art as an instrument of social stratification. The aim of this thesis is to gain and provide a deeper understanding of the ways, in which taste creates and reproduces socially structured suffering in the contemporary post-socialist Azerbaijan.
