Based on true story
Davydenko, Polina ; Kohout, Martin (referee) ; Gravlejs, Ivars (advisor)
In reaction to the process of collecting photo series, I decided to focus on how not to rely on safe shots. I have created a set of images from which viewer can read several meanings, thanks to the overall absence of narration and text. I am looking for stucture and possibly creating new images building on this found structure.

Kosíková, Tereza ; Klusák, Miroslav (advisor) ; Viktorová, Ida (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with fictional stories, so called folkstories, told by preschool and early school-age children, that is children from two to ten years of age. This heuristically oriented study is conceived as replication of a research conducted by Brian Sutton-Smith, who, together with a team of co-workers, examined children's folkstories from different aspects and published his theoretical basis together with a collection of stories as "The Folkstories of Children" in 1981. The empirical material of this thesis consists of a collection of 159 fictional stories. These stories were sorted by genre using an explicit controllable method. Due to a different analysis method, which Sutton-Smith did not deal with in his work, this thesis defines and create your own seven classes of genres: right fantasy stories, false fantasy stories, adventure story, descriptive story, worldly stories, wish-fulfilling stories and descriptive stories. . The results of the categorization folkstories were subject to developmental inquiry and answers were sought as to whether genres prove a developmental gradient and gender differences. At the same time, personal orientation tendencies were examined, that is inclinations to a certain genre in individual children. The analysis indicates an age gradient in the use...

Conspiracy theories as quasireligion
Hlaváčová, Kateřina ; Kostičová, Zuzana (advisor) ; Gebelt, Jiří (referee)
Conspiracy theories are an old-new phenomenon which has gained its importance and specific character over the last three centuries. Unofficially, they have become an alternative tradition of the interpretation of historical events connected with an alternative form of spirituality, known as conspirituality. This manner of the interpretation usually holds the power when the consensually accepted worldview loses its plausibility for the concrete person or group. Conspiracy theories are the verbalization of a certain way of thinking and action which depends on it. Most often, they are manifested in the form of myths. That is understood as one of the dominant structures, commonly connected with traditionally perceived religion. From this point of view and in terms of the function associated with conspiracy narratives, conspiracy theories are examined as functional and structural equivalents of religion. These functions are especially the defense of the order (nomos), differentiation of the outer reality or the explanation of the presence of Evil in the world. In addition, they can also become a medium or tool of social actors in power relations. This thesis represents the complementary overview of the contemporary approaches in the study of religion discourse, which deals with unconventional religiosity...

Strnadová, Kristýna ; Jirák, Jan (advisor) ; Lütke Notarp, Ulrike (referee)
This diploma thesis focus on a media representation of a mass death which is caused by terrorist attacks. Due to terrorist attacks around the whole world many innocent people die and media write about these affairs in many ways depending on different factors. By combining quantitative and qualitative analysis of six cases of terrorist attacks which took place in different world locations, thus thesis shows how are these events represented in daily newspaper Mladá Fronta DNES. On the one hand, the number of victims appear to be less significatnt factor, on the other hand, the geographic proximity and possible connection to the Czech Republic plays bigger role. Thus, more space is devoted to these attacks. Each event also appear to be framed differently according to the time when they took place. Either, they were framed as attacks against humanity with focus on heroism of the victims, or they were framed as geopolitical conflicts with attention to the consequences and political responses. It is also possible to find narratives which repeat in the articles about terrorist attacks. These narratives use archetypal stories which can be found in acient myths. The usage of these stories helps not only journalists, who do not have to invent their very own stories, but also readers because it helps them to...
