European nations in the Asterix series
Kozoňová, Zuzana ; Kepartová, Jana (advisor) ; Skopek, Robert (referee)
The aim of the thesis is to confront predominantly Celtic nations depicted in the comic series about Aste rix by René Goscinny and Albert Uderz with information derived from literary as well as archaeological sources and consequently to describe current stereotypes and political and social events appearing in the series. Since its origin, Asterix series has become a world phenomenon with readers across both the social and age spectrum. Numerous allusions to the recent past, which the authors decided to humorously comment on through their cartoon characters, can be found in the series. However, each of the stories takes place in the historical background of the times around the year 50 BC, and it seems interesting to observe to what extent Uderzo and Goscinny stick to the sources and when their fantasy takes over. Keywords: Asterix, René Goscinny, Albert Uderzo, phenomenon, Celtic nations, ancient times, the Gauls, the Belgae, the Picts, the present nations, international

Truksová, Barbora ; Rychlík, Martin (advisor) ; Půtová, Barbora (referee)
(in English): This thesis deals with the tattoo phenomenon in the Czech culture, especially in the last 25 years. The tattooing tradition within the Czech boundaries was interrupted by communism, therefore the current scene began forming after the fall of the regime, which was a release chance to travel and bring down not only new materials but also knowledge. There is a definition of the basic concepts of tattooing in the beginning of the work, as well as the main features, which the tattoo is usually associated in the literature with. In this part of the bachelor thesis there is an excursion outside the European areas. The work even tries to map the history of tattooing in Europe, as the relevant information about the tattoo in the Czech lands does not appear before the 19th century. In the early 20th century there was also apparent professional interest in the tattooing itself. After the communist coup in 1948, tattoos were considered illegal, thereby its tradition was interrupted. With the the borders reopening came a chance for people interested in body art to develop this craft. That way the second tattoo renaissance arrives to the Czech Republic with a delay of several decades. A substantial part of this work is styles naming, which people interested in tattoos can come across with. At the...

Television singing competitions as a contemporary phenomenon
Růžičková, Lucie ; Kruml, Milan (advisor) ; Dorčáková, Jana (referee)
The concept of TV's singing talent shows of the past decade has varied from the concept we were used to seeing in the last decade of the 20th century. It is a new approach where the audience is drawn into the contest by participating in decision- making of who goes through to the next round and who will ultimately win. The goal of this thesis is to prove (or disprove) my assumption that these talent shows are a contemporary phenomenon. I will attempt to define the most popular shows, describe their inner workings, look for the common features and compare their concepts. Verify the use of TV as an interactive media with an option to vote via a person's mobile phone to improve the ratings. To compare these shows with those from the second half of the 20th century. Reasons why people like to watch these TV singing talent shows and what target audience are these shows appealing to.

A man in becoming-mad of the world (The conception of a man by early Deleuze)
Prášek, Petr ; Petříček, Miroslav (advisor) ; Švec, Ondřej (referee)
The philosophy of early Deleuze is the main subject of this dissertation. Concretely, it will be treated with regard to distinctive and singular individuation of a man: this essay tries to present his relationship to the ultimate horizon of Being in Deleuze's work. The first chapter constitutes a starting point which can be determined in criticism of the image of thought, closely related with Deleuze's transcendental empiricism. The second chapter is devoted to its culmination, to the metaphysical description of the virtual field of Ideas, of transcendental conditions of our experience. The next chapter shows how Ideas condition, that Ideas actualise themselves insofar as something develops itself within its intensive field of individuation. The fourth chapter takes us back to our starting point: it concerns a phenomenon, this time sufficiently explained, and we are again obliged to confront us with the image of thought which covers this explanation. This is the reason why our interpretation has to continue. The description of distinctive and singular individuation of a man wants to explain the way by which the image of thought, based on common sense, is established. Even though our experience is constructed on this image, there are still some "small islands" of difference, places where the virtual...
