Fryčová, Eva ; Rynda, Ivan (advisor) ; Wladyniak, Ludmila Maria (referee)
This diploma thesis deals with urban greenery, specifically with the publicly accessible Parukářka park in Prague's Žižkov district. Based on a research of available literature and other sources, it first introduces and defines the key concepts and theoretical background that deal with greenery and its functions, as well as public space and areas of interest, all of which allows a closer look into the issue. The thesis also provides a brief overview of the historical development of the area which has undergone a number of changes over the decades that have influenced its current form. The last section of the theoretical part of the thesis focuses on development projects to be realized in the vicinity of the park and marginally it also deals with strategic materials. The aim of this thesis is an attempt at a comprehensive description of the Parukářka phenomenon and an exploration of this public space as an actual place, as well as a construct of meanings and values attributed to it by its users/actors. The empirical part of the thesis seeks to answer the research question of the significance of this relatively preserved natural area in urban space, both in general from different points of view and from the perspectives of its contemporary users/actors. For this reason, the qualitative research...

Memory on borderland. A comparative study of collective memory in the former East Prussiaregion in Poland and the Sudetes in the Czech Republic
Wladyniak, Ludmila Maria ; Hájek, Martin (advisor) ; Olechnicki, Krzysztof (referee) ; Oláh, Gábor (referee)
Collective memory has recently become one of the most explored topics in the social sciences and has led to the emergence of a separate and independent subdiscipline called memory studies. The thesis investigates the awakening of collective memory in two borderlands of Central Europe: the former Sudetes region in the Czech Republic and the southern part of former East Prussia in Poland. The thesis provides an overview of the current theories about collective memory with a focus on the interactional and visual character of the studied phenomenon. In line with this, the thesis presents, discusses, and elaborates on research conducted in the two borderlands in 2016 and 2017. The aim of the research was to study the role and form of collective memory (shared remembrance) in ethnic, cultural, and historical borderlands. The contributions of the thesis are both methodological and theoretical. Firstly, the discussed research revealed that between particularly family-based communicative memory and official, institution-generated cultural memory, there is ritualised communicative memory, maintained through interactions among members of the borderland community (community of memory). Secondly, the thesis contributes to various studies within the interactionist paradigm and proves the usability of Goffman's...

Is Punk Dead?
Lučan, Ondřej ; Oravcová, Anna (advisor) ; Wladyniak, Ludmila Maria (referee)
Tato práce se zabývá proměnou punkové subkultury v českém prostředí od konce 70. let do současnosti. Zaměřuje se především na změnu životních hodnot a kontextu se zlomovým bodem, za který je označován pád komunismu. Je zde analyzován vývoj subkultury, která se rodí ve pojených státech amerických 70. letech, odkud se rozšířila do celého světa. Je typická odporem ke konzumní společnosti, válkám, nacismu, korporacím a hlavně nesvobodě. Mezi roky a 1977 se punk dostává i do tehdejšího Československa, kde v kontextu vlády komunistické strany dostává nový rozměr. Práce popisuje rozpor mezi příslušníky komunity a veřejností, kterou jsou tito lidé označování za závadovou a nebezpečnou mládež. Subkultura se potýká s represemi a omezeními až do pádu socialismu začnou vznikat nové odnože, souvislosti se společenským vývojem roste nová tvář subkultury, která se již zabývá konkrétnějšími problémy, jako jsou práva zvířat, či plýtvání. V analýzu použit kvalitativní výzkum ve formě zúčastněného pozorování a rozhovorů se zástupci současné i původní vlny. Rozhovory napovídají, že objektem zájmu je stále pojem "svoboda" a k proměně dochází spíše v konkrétních terých se této hodn příslušníci subkultury dožadují. Spolu s tím stoupá rozmanitost odnoží a angažovanosti členů Přínosem práce je pohled na členy komunity jakožto na...

The Aspect of Transnacionalism of the Re -emigrants from Romanien Banat
Mertlík, Arnošt ; Cirklová, Jitka (advisor) ; Wladyniak, Ludmila Maria (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with the characteristics of transnational links with Romanian Banat re- emigrants who were born in Banat and now live in the Czech Republic. Attention is paid to the migration theory of transnationalism, which is based on the assumption that migrants continue to maintain relations with their country of origin, which the author tries to prove even in the case of the Banat Czechs. In the theoretical part of the thesis, the reader is briefed on the historical context of migration to Banat and re-emigration to the Czech Republic. Thereafter, the reader is familiar with the theory of transnationalism and its concepts. The heart of the thesis is qualitative research described in the practical part, in which the author carried out in-depth semi- structured interviews. Based on the analysis of these interviews, the work concludes that transnational identity of Banat's Czechs is uncertain. However, they as transmigrants form transnational networks beyond the borders that create a transnational field and keepkeep the Czechs in Banat in constant contact.

Ice hockey as a symbol of national identity: the Czech society 20 years after the Nagano triumph
Burdová, Karolína ; Numerato, Dino (advisor) ; Wladyniak, Ludmila Maria (referee)
This bachelor's thesis deals with the process of building national identity through sport, specifically ice hockey. The thesis focuses primarily on the aspects contributing to the reproduction of the Czech national identity. Important aspects are mainly symbols, which remind us of the individual's belonging to the nation, as well as the media, which significantly help to the mythization of sports events. One of the events that played an important role in the formation of the Czech national identity is the 1998 Nagano Olympics. The success of the Czech hockey team in this tournament made part of the history twenty years ago; there are still many legacies of this triumph nowadays. The thesis is based on a research that combined several methods. I obtained the data through participant observation of the national team matches broadcasts, I also analysed documents that referred to the legacies of Czech victory, and I carried out semi-structured interviews with ice hockey fans. The interviews suggest that the victory of the Nagano hockey players, with the contribution of the media and banal nationalism, underwent the process of mythization, and thus played a significant role in the Czech national identity building.
