How communistic propaganda influenced Czechoslovakian radio's programs for kids between 1968 and 1974
Kaňka, Josef ; Groman, Martin (advisor) ; Bednařík, Petr (referee)
Since the beginning of its more than a hundred-year history, Czech and Czechoslovak Radio has offered a number of programmes for child listeners. Whether it was fairy tales, educational and journalistic programmes or special formats not found in programmes for adults. Children themselves could often participate in the creation of the content. In the politically turbulent 20th century, during which radio experienced the beginnings of democracy, the Nazi occupation, the long socialist era under the control of the Soviet Union and the return to freedom, media content also changed depending on the social situation. From dramaturgy, to form, to content as a key factor. This is especially noticeable in the case of the totalitarian regimes. By excluding or, on the contrary, frequently repeating certain topics and treating them in a critical or servile manner, the representatives of the ruling establishment were able to control the dominant discourse and, with it, influence public opinion and suppress the critical voices. In addition to news and journalism, drama could also be used for this purpose. Using various media outlets, a fictional reality that may have little in common with the real situation can be created very effectively. The aim of this thesis is to search for, analyse and compare these...

Stereotyping females in high positions in czech television shows
Skutelniková, Milena ; Reifová, Irena (advisor) ; Bednařík, Petr (referee)
The diploma thesis examines the topic of Stereotyping females in high positions in Czech television shows. An analysis of three Czech series Odznak Vysočina, Anatomie života and Zoo examines the treatment of female protagonists in leadership and attempts to reveal their possible stereotyping. The research is conducted using narrative analysis supplemented by qualitative analysis. The theoretical part of the work is based on the thesis that leadership is a gender concept that is anchored in masculinity, which is based on the historical dominance of men in the highest positions. Feminine traits are sought out as unsuited for leadership roles, leading to prejudices that women are not suited for these positions. Based on these ideas, women leaders still face gender stereotypes and prejudices. The aim of this work is to reveal how the narratives of female figures in leadership are constructed and if there are gender stereotypes in their portrayal. Narrative analysis is applied to three research dimensions that are used with existing testing. The dimensions are the position of female protagonists in the narrative, the construction of a woman in leadership as a leader, and the construction of the femininity of a woman in leadership. The resulting work aims to contribute to the debate about the...

The story of Josef Hasil in the miniseries The King of Šumava The Phantom of the Dark Land and its media response
Fortuníková, Jana ; Bednařík, Petr (advisor) ; Novotný, David Jan (referee)
The bachelor thesis deals with the anti-myth and myth of Josef Hasil, a smuggler from the Šumava region and the most famous bearer of the nickname "King of Šumava". The thesis reflects his image before 1989, which was fundamentally influenced by the famous propaganda film Smugglers of Death (Král Šumavy) from 1959. After the Velvet Revolution, the purification of Hasil's reputation was attempted when his life was being reinterpreted based on facts. His dramatic fate has also been featured in post communist popular culture titles. The most successful representative could be classified as a biographical novel about Josef Hasil called Návrat Krále Šumavy from 2012. The novel inspired narration of three-part miniseries King of Šumava: Phantom of the Dark Region (Král Šumavy: Fantom temného kraje) (2022) produced by a commercial TV station and distributed on its VOD platform Voyo. Both projects present their effort to straighten out the fates of Hasil's life, yet there is admitted fabrication in the story. However, an analysis of the texts of both works shows that the revision of historical reality is not neutral and corresponds to the post communist discourse on the perception of heroes of the third resistance, which can lead to their exclusive glorification and the suppression of discussion about the...
