Roudel: Ethnographic insight into the experience of the players of Dungeons and Dragons Vedoucí práce: PhDr. Marek Halbich, Ph.D. Bc. Tereza Marešová 2022 Abstract In this project, I try my hand at ethnography of the game Dungeons and Dragons through the experience of one specific group of players in a long-term game campaign which through game elements builds sociality between players. I deal with issues of binarity of everyday life and game experience through the theory of the Magic Circle, the virtual pre-cybernetic nature of this game and community and its influence on building relationships, game structure, rules and ways of interacting with them, reasons why players return to this game repeatedly and possible problematic consequences. I also look at my experience with this very ethnography- friendly game, which supports my conclusions. The research is conducted in a closed group of Czech players holding through two campaigns between 2019 and 2022, with additional interviews from other volunteers from the ranks of Czech Dungeons and Dragons players. Keywords: Dungeons and Dragons, virtual world, pre-cybernetic, Magic circle, Active Aesthetic experience, Social ties, campaign

Media Activities of People with Disabilty: Anthropological view
Vejvoda, Martin ; Beseda, Jan (advisor) ; Pinc, Zdeněk (referee)
This diploma thesis in the field of media anthropology observes the reception and production of media messages from the viewpoint of people who move with the assistance of electrical or mechanical wheelchair. One of the main concepts discussed is the identity ambivalence or else the discrepancy between social and individual aspect of the disabled people's identity. Disabled people perceive themselves as fully-fledged members of society. However, they must often face the opposite attitude on the part of the majority. This is apparent also in the mass media which depict disabled people according to the members of this category in a stereotypical way. The media image of disabled people has according to them mainly two forms: on one hand, they are depicted as dependent persons; on the other hand, they are applauded for achievements they themselves see as trivial. It is possible to grasp the production of media stereotypes with respect to the concept of the journalistic field developed by Pierre Bourdieu. It features hurriedness, dependence on the market, plebiscite and in consequence symbolic violence. From this viewpoint the commercial media strive to satisfy everyone. Hence journalists select themes which occupy space where something else should be told. The disabled people's organizations are aware of this...
