Oppression versus Empowerment: A Philosophical Analysis of Female Participation in Sport
Howe, Olivia Rose ; Parry, Silvan James (advisor) ; Schneider, Angela (referee) ; Edgar, Andrew (referee)
Název: Útlak versus posílení postavení žen: Filosofická analýza účasti žen ve sportu Cíle: Cílem této práce je na základě knihy feministické filosofky Simone de Beauvoir Druhé pohlaví definovat a kriticky analyzovat, co znamená pojmy "útlak" a "posílení postavení" žen. Zjištění, že útlak žen je systémový, internalizovaný a vykořisťovatelský, jsou aplikována do ženské kategorie ve sportu. Tato diskuse se zaměřuje především na zjištění, zda má sport tendenci utvrzovat útlak žen prostřednictvím svých pravidel a konvencí, kategorizace, finančně a emocionálně vykořisťujících praktik a prostřednictvím nových metod, jako je manipulace se zdravotními údaji. Na základě současných textů z oblasti kinantropologie je rovněž diskutováno téma sportu jakožto zdroje pro posílení postavení žen. Metodologie: Tato práce je čistě teoretickou studií, ve které byly shromažďovány, interpretovány a kriticky hodnoceny informace z filosofických textů, odborných článků, novinových článků a sociálních médií. Tato práce vychází z myšlenek knihy Simone de Beauvoir Druhé pohlaví, která poskytuje důkladnější filosofickou analýzu pojmů "útlak" a "posílení postavení". Práce rovněž vychází z teorie...

Modernity and holocaust
Vašička, Pavel ; Šindlar, Jiljí (referee) ; Marek, Jiří (advisor)
The thesis deals with the design of the Holocaust Documentation Centre in Moravia. Currently, there are several museums dealing with the Holocaust in our country, but none of them provides comprehensive documentation of the Holocaust. The proposal therefore seeks to create a museum that will be able to report on the Holocaust in a broader context and at the same time will be an attractive environment, especially for visitors living in the multimedia world of the 21st century.

Gender, Race, and Class: Intersectional Analysis of Kate Chopin's The Awakening and Selected Short Stories
Salajová, Gabriela ; Ulmanová, Hana (advisor) ; Veselá, Pavla (referee)
The objective of this study is to ascertain whether the principles of recent intersectional analyses of Kate Chopin's seminal novel The Awakening may also be applied to Chopin's short fiction and what conclusions would be drawn from such an analysis regarding Chopin's stance on the oppression of minorities. The purpose of an intersectional analysis is to evaluate the specific type of oppression that arises on the intersection of various social categories - the categories considered here are gender, race, and class. Intersectional analysis represents one of the latest methodological approaches regarding the fiction of Kate Chopin, expanding upon the inferences formerly derived by the feminist scholars. The first chapter introduces the concept of intersectionality and describes the changes of Kate Chopin's position in the American literary canon together with the development of the methods employed by the scholarship in relation to Chopin's works through time. The second chapter is concerned with the demonstration of the main notions of five intersectional analyses of The Awakening carried out by Anna Elfenbein, Elizabeth Ammons, Joyce Dyer, Michele Birnbaum, and Dagmar Pegues. The first three studies are presented along with my additions to the arguments, and are concerned with the dichotomy between...

The role of women in the world of Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale & The Testaments
Beránková, Anna ; Topolovská, Tereza (advisor) ; Chalupský, Petr (referee)
This thesis is concerned with the world of The Handmaid's Tale (1985) and The Testaments (2019), works of Margaret Atwood. The dystopian theocratic totalitarian regime featured in these novels invites a socio-historical and anthropological analysis and interpretation from the perspective of the subjugated female characters. The theoretical part, introduced by an overview of Atwood's work, provides the reader with crucial information regarding the historical parallels which inspired the narrative, as well as a delimitation of relevant anthropological concepts, such as liminality or status reversal. Subsequently, using both the knowledge gathered in the theoretical and in Atwood's works, the rise of the fundamentalist cult of the Sons of Jacob and their project, the Republic of Gilead, is explained, and their ideology is uncovered in the first section of the practical part. Second part of the interpretation focuses on the position of women within the system that subjugates and oppresses them. The analysis is performed by the means of comparing and contrasting the ideal models of the positions of women as designed by the architects of the system with the actual application on the example of selected characters. The ultimate aims of this thesis are to prove the innate sexism and misogyny of the...

The Weight of Ink: Female Protagonists in the Face of Oppression
Freiová, Kristina ; Topolovská, Tereza (advisor) ; Higgins, Bernadette (referee)
This thesis explores the connection between the two protagonists of a historical novel The Weight of Ink (2017) by a contemporary American author, Rachel Kadish. The main aim is to describe and interpret the nature of this link. Since the two protagonists are separated by more than three hundred years of historical development, their destinies seem dissimilar at first glance. However, deeper investigation reveals the commonality of various forms of social repression, which affect all aspects of both their lives. It is for this reason that the Practical Part compares the individual cases of their confinement, employing the concept of a psychologist Iris Marion Young named Five Faces of Oppression, which describes the possible manifestations of restraint in society. The thesis also ponders how and to what extent the two protagonists are influenced by social context and specifically religion, in this case Judaism, which is bound to their destinies. Last but not least, the thesis, as well as the novel itself, stresses how the protagonists cope with their situation through the means of self- realization, which, despite being directly rejected or substantially curtailed by society, serves as a means of personal growth, autonomy and eventually freedom. KEYWORDS The Weight of Ink, Rachel Kadish,...
