Pešková, Daniela ; Střítecký, Vít (advisor) ; Špelda, Petr (referee)
The diploma thesis examines the role of social media in war communication, focusing on digital diplomacy and crisis communication tactics, specifically the use of digital platforms by Ukrainian diplomatic and governmental actors during the ongoing conflict with Russia. The main objective of the thesis is to systematically examine Ukrainian wartime communication using thematic-content analysis as the primary methodological approach. The study reveals in detail the prevalent communication strategies used by selected Ukrainian official profiles on social network X and the consistency across these accounts in the use of strategic communication. By detailing the application of the strategies of action mobilization, story construction, and emotional appeal, the thesis offers actionable insights for improving communication strategies during conflict. Moreover, the results highlight the transformative role of digital platforms in shaping public opinion and influencing international discourse during crises. The investigation sheds light on the strategic implementation of digital media in international relations and crisis management and offers an understanding of effective communication practices that could enhance the effectiveness of future diplomatic efforts and the efficiency of crisis communication.

Emotive aspects of communication on Facebook in the context of a war
Groschupová, Veronika ; Zápotocký, Jan (advisor) ; Švelch, Jaroslav (referee)
The bachelor thesis deals with the topic of expressing emotions on Facebook in the context of war. It first explains the issue of the terms "affect" and "emotion" and, based on their definition, explains why they should not be confused. The paper also discusses how emotions affect Facebook content or the emotional experience of its users both during and after use. It also names the emotions that people feel during war. What can affect their experiences, and how politicians can exploit them for their own benefit. It describes how emotions can be expressed on Facebook and, for contrast, describes the principles that make people express emotions naturally. There is also mentioned the issue of the supposed evolutionary development of emotions, which, although favoured by Paul Ekman, is questioned by many scientists. The practical part of the thesis offers qualitative research based on semi-structured interviews with students from Prague. Based on open coding, four theories answer the respondents' emotional experience of posts thematically related to the war. It also explains how these students process their experience, i.e. whether they stay on social media or do other activities. The nature of their responses and whether they take place more on or off social media is also mapped. Finally, the research...

Master's thesis titled "The Theme of War Mediated to Children in Kindergarten through Story" addresses the issue of preschool children affected by the war situation in Ukraine. The theoretical part of the thesis is based on insights discussing the inclusion of a child with a different native language in preschool education, on children from Ukraine in Czech kindergartens, and on understanding the relationships between Ukraine and Russia. The final section of the theoretical framework focuses on working with books in kindergarten and processing the theme of war through storytelling in kindergarten. Three main objectives are set for the practical part, corresponding to the primary intention of the thesis, which is to verify how to work with selected children's literature within the inclusion of children from Ukraine affected by the war situation in Ukraine. The individual objectives address perspectives on the theme of war and how to work with it in kindergarten from the viewpoint of 80 preschool teachers and three selected experts.

Once Upon a Time
Medvetska, Anna ; Jakalová, Zuzana (referee) ; Vlková, Veronika (advisor)
Diplomový projekt reflektuje autorčinu zkušenost válečné uprchlice a zkoumá koláž jako expresivní médium nabízející způsob, jak se vypořádat s traumatickou minulostí. Diplomová práce má podobu autorské knihy propojující vyprávění, koláže a ilustrace, v níž se noří do svých myšlenek a emocí prostřednictvím svého alter ega. Skládání různorodých prvků v kolážích zrcadlí proces opětovného skládání a tvoření života narušeného válkou. Součástí diplomového projektu je i zprostředkování terapeutického potenciálu koláže ostatním, zejména ukrajinským dětem, pro něž pořádá workshopy tvorby kolážových příběhů. Cílem projektu je prozkoumat koláž jako metaforický nástroj pro rekonstrukci roztříštěných životů — coby umělecké médium, ale i jako svébytný nástroj, jenž nabízí způsob, jak čelit traumatické osobní historii. Prostřednictvím vlastní tvůrčí práce a kolážových workshopů pro ukrajinské děti autorka vytváří bezpečné prostředí, v němž lze zkoumat a formulovat své emoce. Propojením vyprávění s tvorbou koláží usiluje o podporu hojivých procesů a odolnosti zúčastněných.

Always ready
Pavlíčková, Tereza ; Blažek, Martin (referee) ; Mléčka, Jan (advisor)
In the pursuit of an adaptable, accessible, and secure form of protection to safeguard citizens against unforeseen influences, the proposal addresses the inadequate capacities and coverage of shelters for the civilian population in the Czech Republic. Three examples, illustrating the integration of these structures into the existing urban fabric, also demonstrate their ability to change function depending on current conditions, needs, and the potential for adapting the structure to the site's context. Throughout the proposal, I drew upon analyses of existing civil defense shelters in the Czech Republic, which often serve solely as passive shelters, contrasting them with shelters worldwide that are not only utilised during crises but also function as fully functional multifunctional spaces in everyday life.

Strengthened by Sirens
Nikitina, Pavla ; Horáková, Jana (referee) ; Medek, Tomáš (advisor)
The diploma thesis "Hardened by Sirens" focuses on telling stories through sculptural realisation. These stories are taken from the new phase of the Russian-Ukrainian war that started in 2022. I created the sculptures based on 3D scans as a reportage of events caused by the war. In my work, I followed up on an earlier sculptural project-study entitled "5 Minutes", which was created in 2019 in the context of my bachelor’s studies at FFA BUT. The sub-heading to the study read "3D war reportage ". In the textual part of the master’s thesis, I also focus on the concept of 3D reportage and the various possibilities it offers me as an artist working on the border of the genre of reportage and social documentary.

World: Anything bad happens. Internet: Let’s make a meme of it!
Balcaříková, Ivana ; Heřmanová,, Marie (referee) ; Kubíková, Zuzana (advisor)
So called Generation Z was born between the years 1995 and 2012. They came into The World when The Internet was already in full bloom. Gen Z and Internet are inseparable. It's their natural habitat. They move across the internet waters skillfully without any problem and at all times. The feeds of Gen Z kids are constantly filled with new information, themes, phenomenon, trends, memes. That makes the nature of the whole generation rather nihilistic and in surrender to the constant shit storm which they have to deal with every day. The biggest weapon of the Gen Z is undoubtedly their specific kind of humor. Memes, references, reaction videos are their biggest coping mechanism. These things can be seen all through their normal day to day life. This format however gives plenty of space to individual creators to express their frustration with The World's situation which they get exposed to on a daily basis. It's only natural for them to be interested and engage in bigger themes such as racism, refugee crisis, climate change or LBTQIA+ problems. Unlike their previous generations, Gen Z uses memes and humor to cope. This Bachelor theses focuses on mapping the content that through specific meme format on Tiktok explores the big themes of today's day and age. Do these short clips have any potential informative or educational value or are they just sometimes funny, cool or offensive videos that teens make to keep up with the trends. If it is so, is it problematic?
