The crisis of bodiliness
Dubská, Jana ; Rybák, David (advisor) ; Pelcová, Naděžda (referee)
In today's society, more and more people face an identity crisis stemming from the alienation of one's own essence as a being of the whole (logos). The aim of this work is to find the causes of the mentioned alienation using phenomenological findings, the platform for investigation is represented by the transformation of the communication environment against the background of corporeality, which is perceived as a constitutive element of humanity. The first part outlines the phenomenon of the body and corporeal existence on the basis of Poseidonia's three- dimensional concept of soma-sarx-péxis, where the somatic body establishes the human being in space, the sarcotic in time and the péxistic body relates it to metaphysical movement. The second section then follows the historical development of the relationship to corporeality framed by the development of communication technologies, first approaching the concept of corporeality in pre-modern times and then proceeding chronologically to the present. The paper identifies Christian condemnation, Cartesian subject-object reductionism, Enlightenment rationalism, and industrial massification as key factors behind the displacement of corporeality in favor of digitality. The last chapter deals in more detail with digitization and its impact on the real...

The Importance of Graphical Symbols in the Region Formation Process: the Case of the Liberec Region
Šifta, Miroslav ; Chromý, Pavel (advisor) ; Siwek, Tadeusz (referee)
The Importance of Graphical Symbols in the Region Formation Process: the Case of the Liberec Region The thesis analyzes the role of symbols and graphic symbolism in the process of regional and spatial identity formation in the context of the theory of institutionalization of regions by A. Paasi. The goal of the thesis is to contribute to a scientific discussion of this topic using the example of a specific region - the Liberec Region. In the theoretical part of the thesis, general studies of spatial identities, mainly with regard to creating the symbolic shape of region, are discussed, and the importance of symbolism in forming the region, its spatial identity and power relations is assessed. This section aims to define the key concepts, terms and also types of symbols used in this study. In the research part of thesis, first, the selection of the studied area is justified (region with intensively changed landscape), and, second, its situational analysis is presented, focusing mainly on the social phenomena and elements which could play role of regional symbols. Next, the actual symbolism of the region, as presented in various sources and media, is evaluated. Subsequently, it is compared with the graphic symbols of regional and local institutions, classified and analyzed according to the form...

Vlachová, Monika ; Walek, Agata (referee) ; Ellederová, Eva (advisor)
Cílem této práce je vymezit koncept rétoriky a persuasivního jazyka. Práce začíná rétorickou analýzou a definuje rétorickou situaci. Dále poskytuje informace o umění přesvědčování, jeho historii a použití. Těžištěm práce je přehled charakteristických persuasivních prostředků, který se zaměřuje nejen na používání persuasivních jazykových struktur, ale také specifickou slovní zásobu. Analytická část této práce převádí teorii do praxe prostřednictvím podrobné analýzy a srovnání persuasivních prostředků používaných studenty informačních technologií v odborných prezentacích. Zabývá se persuasivními strategiemi, jakými jsou emoční důraz v řeči, používání osobních zájmen, spojovací výrazy, trojice slov nebo lichocení.

Word, speech and language. Interdisciplinary field of theology and neuroscience.
Tomášek, Martin ; Vogel, Jiří (advisor) ; Vik, Dalibor (referee)
74 Abstract Logos is the multi-meaning term accompanying philosophy from the earliest authors. In general, the term logos has historically had two main groups of meanings. The first group concerns speech (word, speech, sentence…) and the second group of meanings concerns reason (thought, reason, mind, thinking…). In philosophical-theological thinking the second group passes into the idea of reason transcending man - "divine" or "world reason". The theoretical basis of the duality of both speech and reason was postulated by analytical philosophy. As Humboldt was already convinced, thinking was always associated with language, speech was an organ of creating thoughts. Pneumatological philosopher Ebner says: man is by nature "the Spirit who posseses the word," "there is no reason without the Word," and "reason is speech, logos". Within the philosophy of language Wittgenstein argues: "the boundaries of my language create the boundaries of my world," and "a sentence is an image of reality". Fodor's linguistic works on the inner language of thought ("Mentalese") and especially Chomsky's theory of the existence of a structure for "universal grammar" in the human brain provide preconditions for the search of such a structure. Neuroscientific research confirms these assumptions. Structures specialized for speech...
