Country life in documentary photography
Hamerníková, Aneta ; Géla, František (advisor) ; Lábová, Sandra (referee)
The bachelor thesis is dedicated to the topic of country life in documentary photography. The result of the practical part of the work is a photobook, created during a year of documenting the lyrical aspects of the rural environment in the Western Sudetenland, entitled "As a stranger in the Homeland." The theoretical part contextualizes the topic and highlights its significant representation in the history of Czech and Slovak photography. The final chapter of the theoretical section addresses the issue of defining the term "countryside," and the factors that influence the quality of life in the countryside. Finally, it also briefly mentions the town of Žlutice, where the photobook was created. At the end of the thesis, there are several pages dedicated to the methodological section, providing a closer description of the photobook's creation process. To provide further context, an interview with the photographer from Žlutice, Ján Borecký, is included at the end of the thesis.

Our pub
Velechovská, Nela ; Jung, Adam (referee) ; Mléčka, Jan (advisor)
A free evening, a gathering with friends, a celebration, or a stop on a journey. All of these are provided by the pub. A Czech phenomenon, so uniquely ingrained in our culture, whose characteristics extend far beyond just the taproom with beer foam and clinking glasses. Over time, it has taken on various forms, its development influenced by numerous external factors. However, we can confidently say that its traits endure in any era or manifestation. Tradition, a sense of belonging, communication, and above all, a refuge where time changes its pace. A place that welcomes its guests with open arms and assurance. The thesis responds to the current state of pub culture in the Sudeten region of Bruntálsko and Rýmařovsko, presenting a manual for Czech pubs with a specific application to the conceptual vision in the given area. It builds upon a pre-diploma project summarizing the evolution and function of pubs over time. The proposal is informed by insights gained from observing the phenomenon. It engages with existing establishments, aiming to breathe life into them and proposing ways to approach them in the present day.

Christmas in Children's Home
KOSTRHOUNOVÁ, Eliška
The bachelor thesis deals with Christmas in children's homes. The theoretical part introduces the children's homes in more detail and also takes into account the factors that influence the experience of a child who is placed in institutional care. It also describes the traditions, holidays and symbols that are part of Advent and Christmas in the Czech Republic. The research part was developed through semi-structured interviews with staff of children's homes. The aim was to find out the following: What specific traditions do children's homes observe? How does the staff communicate with the children about the existence of Christ Child? Is there increased contact with the family? Whether children go home for Christmas? What is the course of Christmas Eve? What organizations provide gifts to the orphanages? It appears that the teaching staff make an effort to ensure that the children are not deprived of anything during Advent and Christmas. In the children's homes, various traditions are observed, the homes are decorated and presents are brought, as in the most families, by Christ Child. The only difference is when the festive dinner takes place. Due to some children going home, Christmas is celebrated 2 times. Gifts to the orphanages are provided by many organizations, but also by individuals. The work is beneficial to a wide range of readers and offers a partially different perspective on the celebration of holidays that most people experience within the family circle.

Reclaiming traditions
Drevenáková, Natália ; Tamásová, Alexandra (referee) ; Klodová, Lenka (advisor)
The "Reclaiming Traditions" project is a comprehensive artistic endeavor that deals with the reinterpretation of Slovak tradition and its cultural elements, specifically the tradition of May 1st - Building the Maypole. This need arises from the personal experience of the author as a queer individual growing up in Slovakia, where queer beings do not have their legitimate place in public space. This transformation takes place within the realms of feminism, ecofeminism, and queer ecology. A part of the project involves the creation of monuments in public spaces, symbolizing a new approach to non-binary perception of nature and the importance of participation. The project evolves through several phases, from the creation of sculptural objects, tapestries, and outdoor installations to happenings. Each phase includes textile linen waste produced by the author during clothing design. This waste is utilized in various project phases (tapestries, hammocks, recycled residues in soil) and in the final thesis phase, as recycled yarn from recycled remnants of linen and wool for crocheting punching bags, representing circlusion. The inspiration for formal transformation is the neologism "CIRCLUSION" coined by German feminist and political writer Bini Adamczak, which is a female act against the male act of penetration. Circlusion (encirclement) denotes active surrounding. The project also reflects on questions of gender, sexual dominance, and ecological responsibility in the context of art in public space and community.
