Schieblová, Veronika ; Martínková, Libuše (advisor) ; Kropáček, Luboš (referee)
The thesis "The Devil as Portrayed in Contemporary Film Art. Focused on American and British Production from the 60s until the Present" discusses the portrayal of the Devil in contemporary American and British film. The work is divided into two main parts. The theoretical part summarizes the concept of the Devil from the perspective of different religions, followed by a chapter on the concept of the Devil in the visual arts. The practical part of the work analyzes films that represent the Devil as a man or a zoomorphic creature, films dealing with exorcism, and finally films that portray the Devil as the Antichrist. The work examines the symbols used in films to capture the Devil in its entirety. It deals primarily with the Devil's appearance, character and power as well as the methods used to demonstrate this power. The analysis of the filmmakers' interpretation is then compared with the Devil as portrayed in traditional religion and art. The goal is to systematically develop an overview of the Devil as a recurring character in contemporary film art and at the same time examine the relationship between film, religious and artistic conceptions of the Devil.

Mácha, Viktor ; Vogel, Jiří (advisor) ; Martínková, Libuše (referee)
Modern medialization of God in light of theological reflexion Viktor Mácha The core of this work is focused on christian values and persons of the Trinity communication by means of modern mass-medias. It's structure is based on the most explicit model - singapure project God's Campaing from 2001, which is disassembled step by step by marketing management methodology and extended with related cases of "God's medializations" throughout the most influential communication channels of twentieth and twenty-first century at the same time, e.g. radio and television broadcasting, internet and entertainment industry. From stated in advance concept of medialization as an evangelization method the author concludes that more than a mission effort these communication channels are accomplishing certain form of pre-evangelization, pre-catechesis and pre-kerygmatic announcements in wider terms of inculturation.

Zezuláková, Andrea ; Martínková, Libuše (advisor) ; Říčan, Pavel (referee)
My diploma work called Religious Moral Values in the Czechoslovak Film in 1948 - 1968 deals with occurrence of religious moral values in the filmmaking of the chosen period. The first chapter briefly discusses the history of Czechoslovakia and cultural changes that affected and influenced the society of that time .The chapter brings also the stories and the lot of selected churches and thus it explains the position of a believing man who after the year 1948 was deliberately deprived of his religion by the state authority. This chapter is important for better illustration of the state of society, which was believing and practising until that time. The second chapter analyses and specifies moral values, especially religious moral values. There are also described moral values in relation to the socialistic, respectively totalitarian society. The third chapter deals with the history of the movie and it introduces films as a medium which is able to control the masses.The fourth part deals with the Czechoslovak film at the certain period. The final chapter contains an analysis of individual films by means of my personal interpretation.
