Pískačová, Tereza ; Mlejnek, Josef (advisor) ; Brunclík, Miloš (referee)
Projekt Bakalářské práce Jméno : Tereza Pískačová Email : 81359738@fsv.cuni.cz Semestr : Letní Akademický rok : 2020/2021 Název Práce : Komparace britské Konzervativní strany Občanské demokratické strany v letech 2005 až 2016 Předpokládaný termín dokončení : Letní semestr, 2020/2021 Vedoucí bakalářské práce : PhDr. Josef Mlejnek PhD. Základní charakteristika tématu : Konzervativní strany jsou tradičními stranami napříč Evropou, většinou se jedná o strany s velkou voličskou základnou a tudíž disponují velkým vlivem. Conservative Party ve Velké Británii je jednou ze dvou nejsilnějších stran. V roce 2005 se do vedení strany dostal historicky nejmladší vůdce a premiér David Cameron a spolu s ním došlo i ke změně ve směřování strany. Do popředí se dostala sociální politika a také ochrana životního prostředí. V České republice je myšlenka pravicového konzervatismu reprezentována stranou ODS, která vznikla na začátku devadesátých let minulého století v čele s Václavem Klausem. Ten dlouhou dobu určoval směřování této strany a stál v jejím čele řadu let. Václav Klaus je známý svým euroskepticismem a kritikem environmentalismu - jeho vliv na stranu je dodnes patrný. Cílem práce bude porovnat programy obou konzervativních stran a to především v oblasti environmentální politiky, sociální politiky a ochraně tradičních...
Media portrayal of candidates in the 2016 United States presidential election
Šimková, Jana ; Dopieralla, Jakub (advisor) ; Hájek, Lukáš (referee)
This bachelor's thesis deals with the topic of 2016 US presidential election. More specifically, it focuses on media portrait of candidates nominated by the Democratic and Republican parties, ie. Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. It describes their road to becoming nominees and their respective presidential campaigns, explains the history of media bias in the United States and then connects those two topics. It describes specific differences in media coverage of Clinton and Trump during their 2016 presidential campaigns. It also deals with the topic of political polarization and what role do media play in it. The thesis chooses two TV shows with audiences on the opposite sides of a political spectrum as a specific example of what can liberal or conservative bias look like. It tries to answer the question, whether and why is Sean Hannity's conservative bias stronger than liberal bias in the case of Rachel Maddow.The paper concludes that Hannity's show goes beyond bias, demonstrates this fact with examples and therefore answers the research question in the affirmative. A summative approach to qualitative content analysis is used to answer the research question. Research sample consists of 28 episodes of TV shows Hannity and The Rachel Maddow Show, which aired during the last 3 weeks before the election....
Comparison of ideological and policy definition of Fidesz and PiS
Vait, Martin ; Mlejnek, Josef (advisor) ; Perottino, Michel (referee)
The subject of this diploma thesis is to examine and compare the ideological and programmatic definition of Fidesz and PiS, their development in time and their current actions and policy-making since forming their single-party governments in 2010 in Hungary and 2015 in Poland, respectively. This work also focuses on the development in both countries during the transformation from communism towards democracy, and sets out to answer what preconditions have formed the demand for populist radical right ideology both in Hungary and Poland. Based on the theory of populist radical right framework, this thesis concludes that, in addition to the negative aspects of political and economic transformation, historical narratives and prejudices against minorities by a significant part of the Hungarian and Polish societies have also played a crucial role in creating a climate for demand for the populist radical right. In the third chapter, this thesis finds a high volatility in the ideological development of both parties, especially in regards to Fidesz, and attributes these considerable ideological and programmatic changes in part to reaction of Fidesz and PiS towards changes in the party system in both Hungary and Poland. However, since 2006 the ideology of both parties has become increasingly consistent with...
Genealogy of Liberalism in America.
Váňa, Filip ; Klvaňa, Tomáš (advisor) ; Calda, Miloš (referee)
In this work I examine the notion that various, both past and present conceptions of liberalism in America share a commitment to identical fundamental values, as well as utilize a characteristic method of political philosophy, that can both be traced to the rationalist thought of the period known as the Enlightenment. However, because of its ever-changing constitutive setting and different understandings of the term, the meaning of liberalism can be often dark and its usage confusing. Therefore I find it necessary to approach this work as an investigation of a complex (and extremely influential) phenomenon in time. I argue that throughout most of the history of the American republic, it has been exactly this forward-looking, revolutionary, rationalist tradition of liberalism, that has gradually come to dominate not just American politics, but also the social and even the private lives of the American people. Based on the examinations of the different "genealogical branches" of liberalism, I make the case that even though we often imagine the prominent conflict between the American "conservatives" and "liberals" as a struggle of two categorically opposed worldviews, underneath their political agendas we find the same set of goals. And while both sides try to achieve them by their own, often...
Anti-homosexual legislation in Russian territory and it's development
Borůvková, Tereza ; Čížek, Martin (advisor) ; Kolenovská, Daniela (referee)
This work is focused on development of anti-homosexual legislation and conditions of decriminalization in the newly established Russian federation. It is focused on attempts to organize Gay Pride festival in Moscow in 2006 and negative reactions of Russian authorities and subsequent lawsuit. The works informs on change in rhetoric with respect to LGBT community, which was cause by medialization of Gay Pride affair as well conservatism that was being established. It describes Russian conservatism that set itself in contrast to the West by its traditional values, which are in alleged conflict with homosexuality. This development reached its summit in 2013 when anti-propagation law was enacted on federal level. We then focus on immediate reaction to enactment of this legislation and its effects. The work draws from academic articles that appeared after enactment of the act and, and importantly also news articles that could capture ensuing event in real time. It becomes apparent that ostracizing of homosexuals in Russia is a long-term trend that is supported by state controlled news agencies and legislative steps. We explain behavior that is subjected to recently enacted anti-propagation act and reasons for its enactment. In addition, we review how this act is criticized by LGBT activists all over the...
World Views and Interpretive Communities in the Literary Field of Czechoslovakia in the 1930s
Borovička, Lukáš ; Janáček, Pavel (advisor) ; Sýkora, Michal (referee) ; Holý, Jiří (referee)
The goals of the present dissertation are twofold: 1) to bring back into the literary thought the notion of "world view", which has been largely discredited due to its abusage in the context of official Marxism during the socialist era, and 2) to affirm the usefulness of the notion of "world view" in the literary practice. The thesis is structured so as to meet the goals: the first chapter presents several probes of the usage of the phrase "world view" and definition discussions related to it. In this framework, the "scientific world view" from the socialist era is then confronted with a range of other definitions of the notion, such as F. X. Šalda's "view of life and world". In the second chapter, I present my approach to this notion, aimed at serving the purposes of current literary research. Firstly, I distinguish the notion of "world view" from the notions of "mentality" and "ideology", and secondly, following the research of The Worldviews Group (Brussels) I propose my own definition of world view. Since the Group does not deal with actual interpretations of literary texts, I make use for the intended purpose of an updated and slightly modified concept of Terry Eagleton, originally published within the monograph Criticism and Ideology (1976). What is essential is foremost to differ between a)...
