At home at the large housing estate? Local identity and place identification in different types of urban environment
Veselý, Martin ; Haluzík, Radovan (advisor) ; Pětová, Marie (referee) ; Vašát, Petr (referee)
Martin Veselý At home at the large housing estate? Local identity and place identification in different types of urban environment The thesis is concerned with the question of local identity and place identification in urban environment on the example of Prague's Southern Town representing a large, centrally planned housing estate, and "old" Vršovice as an example of a traditional city quarter. The author distinguishes two theoretical-methodological approaches to the analysis of urban environment. The first approach is ontological-historical, ethic perspective describing the city with the use of theoretical devices of urbanism and phenomenology of architecture. The second approach - anthropological - is an emic approach studying the interpretation of a place by social agents. The author shows on numerous examples, how do the people identify with a place and what is the role of the physical attributes of the place and its memory in the process of place identification. The relation between ontological-historical and anthropological perspective is according to the author dialogic and he is looking for points of intersection. He shows that the consequence of one-sided way of interpretation is insufficient understanding for place identity. In other words, it is not able to answer convincingly the...

At home at a large housing estate? Local identity and place identification at the Souther town in Prague
Veselý, Martin ; Haluzík, Radovan (advisor) ; Pětová, Marie (referee) ; Vašát, Petr (referee)
At home at a large housing estate? Local identity and place identification at the Southern Town in Prague The aim of this thesis is to examine hitherto neglected question of the place identification of the inhabitants of large prefabbed housing estates on the example of Southern Town in Prague. What is the relation of the participants to their housing estate like? Which inductively defined factors play an important role in the process of identification of the residents of Southern Town with their home quarter? How is this relation influenced with the fact that the Southern Town is a monotonous physical environment, where the historical continuity was furthermore radically disrupted? What is the relation between the residential satisfaction of the participants and their emotional place identification? I examine the ways and factors of place identification of the inhabitants of the Southern Town by way of two complementary methods: by participant observation of the activities of engaged locals, who spontaneously articulated their relation to the Southern Town during the protests against controversial building projects, and by the semi-structured interviews with the long-time residents of two generations - people born there in 1980's and the generation of their parents. I expose the factors which strengthen or...

Activists on the Road to the Zapatista Territory
Kuřík, Bohuslav ; Haluzík, Radovan (advisor) ; Barša, Pavel (referee)
Thesis "Activists on the Road to Zapatista Territory" gives a resonance of actual results of my research among activists in Chiapas and Germany with contemporary theories. Based in theories of globalization and social movement and in dialogue with fieldwork data, it elaborates proper analytical concepts. These concepts enable to study journeys of activists to the Zapatista territory in Mexican state of Chiapas. Thesis aims to follow concepts of neo- zapatistas networks, which emerged around indigenous Zapatists and spread all over the World. Middle-Class activists from Germany enter these networks while travelling to Chiapas. Thesis scrutinize the nature of six months' journeys of activists and especially focus on transformation of so-called Imaginative knowledge of the World to Experienced knowledge of the World in the context of exoticism, poverty and Zapatista resistence.

Strangers at home: In Search of Indigenous Identity at the Suburbs of a Glocal Mexican City
Heřmanová, Marie ; Haluzík, Radovan (advisor) ; Ezzeddine, Petra (referee)
of diploma thesis Title: Strangers at home - In Search of Indigenous Identity at the Suburbs of a Glocal Mexican City Student: Marie Heřmanová Tutor: Mgr. Radovan Haluzík The presented thesis is based on a fieldwork realized during five months in the city of San Cristobal de Las Casas, Chiapas in south of Mexico and deals with different strategies through which are young Tzotziles and Tzeltales living in the new suburbs of the old colonial city constructing their identity. Main axes of the thesis are first the relationship of these young people to the native communities of their parents and second to the rich and turistic city centre. As a main ethnographic method I use participant observation and also the material culture studies ( the tesis focus mostly on identification through visage and consequently on the consitution of identity through styles and modes of dressing).
