Trnková Lorencová, Radmila ; Vrhel, František (advisor) ; Navrátilová, Alexandra (referee) ; Maiello, Giuseppe (referee)
The subject of the dissertation thesis presented is the Dayak Benuaq and their funeral rituals in relation to their individual and collective identity. The aim of the thesis is to try to find an answer to the question "what role does a ritual play in creating, maintaining or changing objectivized reality and social relations and how can a ritual help in the case of group crisis inflicted by internal or external causes". And the last question studied is the role of a ritual in defining and presenting collective identity of a social group. This work first focuses on brief history of the Dayak in relation to their ethnic identity and burial rituals serving as an introduction to the socio-cultural context of the Benuaq. Subsequently, a description of secondary burial rituals of the Benuaq Idatn is presented. The task of the third part of this thesis is to try to find out how a ritual serves as an element of construction of social reality and individual and collective identity using Berger's and Luckmann's approach as a tool.

The intention of Love Gifts in the Metamorphose of Tradition and Present
Navrátilová, Alexandra
The author uses both historical material as well as a present day research to describe the meaning these gifts were given by symbolic systems of both tradition and the present for gender and sociocultural communication of men and women. The first part of the article describes the notions related to love gifts in the traditional cultural stereotype, recorded in the ethnographic sources from Bohemia and Moravia from 19th and 20th centuries. The characteristic features of traditional love gifts are then confronted with outcome of some original research by the author. The research was conducted in 2006 at selected places among high-scholl and vocational school youth, age of 15-19. The gifts that materialize symbolism of love show its coexistence with modern mentalities that are already distant to symbolic systems of traditional communities.
