Adaptation of Chernobyl Czechs in Czech environment
Hlaváčová, Julie ; Uherek, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Pergl, David (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with the adaptation of the second generation of Chernobyl Czechs who re-migrated to the Czech territory between 1991 and 1993 from the territory of today's Ukraine. The primary aim is to find out how they perceive the process of their own adaptation, how they think about their own national identity and how is their identity specific. The theoretical part describes the historical context of Czechs in Ukraine and their re- migration back to their homeland. The methodological part explains the use of semi- structured interviews as a research method, and I also present the chosen method of qualitative analysis and the ethical aspect of the research. In the empirical section, I then present the codes and categories developed during the analysis. The themes that emerge from the data analysis are divided into four categories: perceptions of life in the Czech Republic, personality traits, elements of everyday life, and social ties. Through these categories, I present the resettled people's perception of the process of adaptation, integration into society and their own national identity. In the final part of the thesis, I discuss the findings in relation to the research questions. I try to relate the findings to the theoretical model of adaptation strategies developed by John W. Berry.

Regional and linguistic identities : the North of France
SCHWITTER, Emma
This qualitative research aims to find out whether a regional identity in Northern France is possible without identifying with and/or practising its regional language or dialect. A literature review was conducted on the history of the region, the history of the Ch'ti language, its regional language, and the definition of the terms "identity" and "regional identity". Four semi-structured interviews were conducted with people of different generations in order to collect qualitative data on the research topic. The interviews were recorded and transcribed. The results are described after the methodology section, which is describing the process of constructing the research question and the way the interviews were conducted. These results are then questioned in a dedicated section. This is followed by the conclusion, a summary in English, the bibliography of the literature section and illustrations, allowing a better representation of the region. The appendices conclude this research and illustrate the whole research process.

The central theme of the thesis is the analysis of the self- presentation tools used by users to construct their virtual identities. In the theoretical part there are explained concepts of identity, self-presentation, social role and social network. The emphasis is also put on the dramaturgical concept of Erving Goffman, which is also the basic theory for this empirical research.

The research consists of two parts and combines two research methods. In the first part of the research, there are analysed all the data obtained by qualitative in-depth interview.
