The diploma thesis formally consists of a mosaic of outputs across the media. It contains a set of videos, a set of embroidered pieces of clothing and a set of hand-drawn, subjective maps, all supplemented and accompanied by drawings, watercolors, texts, objects and audio. Thematically, the work has two layers. First, it deals with the reflection of (my) selected hobbies that relate to specific ideas about nature and landscape. These hobbies are divided into three thematic areas named Emo Maps, The Cowboy Spectrum, and Bio Tops. In the second layer, the work is a critical reflection on the use of hobby strategies in art work, as one of the last available ways to create in times of permanent crises.

Imagining Productive Labor Without Wage Labor: Discursive Analysis of Selected Non-Fiction Literature
Ježková, Karolína ; Tremčinský, Martin (advisor) ; Wirthová, Jitka (referee)
The topic of the diploma thesis is the question of creating a discourse about unskilled jobs and the people who perform them. It is examined through everyday manifestations of work ethics, which is looked for in selected non-fiction literature. The diploma thesis constructs a definition of work as a concept which needs to be approached from an economic and cultural research lens at the same time. This is then linked to the development of work in the 20th century and subsequently to post-work theory. The content of the thesis is an analysis of the antinomies of work ethics in six non-fiction books devoted to low-income and unskilled jobs. Subsequently, there is an analysis of working conditions, work narratives and social discourses on work: The diploma thesis defines specific manifestations of the theories in defined antinomies in workplaces which are addressed in the analyzed books. The definition of work as a space of politics of redistribution and politics of misrecognition is supported by conclusions based on the necessity of grasping the everydayness of work ethics as a concept that maintains the work system and its inequalities and also entails revolutionary emancipatory potential. The duality of work behavior, the necessity of connecting the politics of redistribution and recognition in...

Working conditions of agency workers in the Czech Republic
Aoufová, Anisa ; Kotrusová, Miriam (advisor) ; Jelínková, Marie (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with the examination of working conditions of agency workers among foreigners in the Czech Republic. The thesis aims to describe the legal setting of agency employment, especially in terms of participants in contractual relations, their rights and obligations. It also identifies ways of circumventing the current legislation by work agencies and describes the consequences of this circumvention on employees. It also deals with how the agency workers themselves perceive their working conditions, concerning the work agency and the company to which they are temporarily assigned. Qualitative research is focused on foreigners in the labor market. Foreigners are a disadvantaged group in the labor market because they often do not know their rights and obligations, which employers can use to their advantage. The issue is viewed from the perspective of flexibility and precarization in the labor market. Flexibility, as one of the new trends in the labor market, brings many opportunities, but it has different effects on different types of employees. While it offers a greater degree of personal freedom for better-off workers, for employees in low-income occupations, flexibility is often associated with a high degree of job insecurity and limited social protection for employees.
