Kábrtová, Renata ; Knotková - Čapková, Blanka (advisor) ; Smetáčková, Irena (referee)
The aim of this work is to show the way of gender identity construction, the way of textbooks authorization in the Czech Republic, to confirm or to refute gender correction in school education and in the education materials, to show the impact of educational materials on the socialization of children and gender stereotypes in society. The main aim of this work is the gender correction of textbooks for the first class of basic school - Primers. The analysis indicated the following results: The analysed textbooks for the first class of basic school - Primers are not gender correct by both quantitative and qualitative content analysis. The textbooks which were analysed support gender stereotypes in which women are represented in the private life more often than men and only in typical women roles - care of children and housework. Men are represented in private life through their hobbies; they are very passive in housework or care of children. Men are represented in wider varieties of social life than women very often.

Conceptualisation of Ethnicity in the Context of the Sri Lankan Conflict Transformation
Dopita, Tomáš ; Knotková - Čapková, Blanka (advisor) ; Klimešová, Martina (referee)
Diploma thesis "Conceptualization of ethnicity in the context of transformation of Sri Lankan conflict" concerns the protracted social conflict in Sri Lanka in respect of relevant theories and possibilities for a peaceful transformation of the crisis. By means of content analysis I uncover the ontological and epistemological understanding of ethnicity within scholarly discussions of "ethnic conflict", selected discourses on multiculturalism and the politics of recognition, feminism and postcolonial studies. I attempt to relate and critically evaluate the conceptualizations of ethnicity contained within these discourses in respect of the Sri Lankan conflict and the challenges to its peaceful transformation. I argue that the understanding of ethnicity in the field of "ethnic conflict" studies, as presented within the limits of this thesis, is derived substantially from knowledge produced in the context of nation, nationalism and the modern nation state conceptual framework. The general theoretisation of ethnicity is therefore confined to the narrow view of a "Westphalian imagination".

Meetings schools and families : gender changing the rules
Smetáčková, Irena ; Štech, Stanislav (advisor) ; Greger, David (referee) ; Knotková - Čapková, Blanka (referee)
Disertační práce, kterou předkládám k obhajobě, vznikala po dobu pěti let. Na jejich začátku jsem byla plná otázek, které se zrodily při výzkumech v rámci mých diplomových prací z pedagogické psychologie a sociologie. Obě práce se věnovaly učitelům a učitelkám; první z nich (2000) rozpracovávala téma identity vyučujících a její saturace dětmi a jejich rodiči, druhá diplomová práce (2002) pak sledovala rozdíly v představách učitelů a učitelek o jejich povolání.

Gender Analysis of Four Fairy Tale Stories for Children.
Vodrlindová, Petra ; Knotková - Čapková, Blanka (advisor) ; Heczková, Libuše (referee)
In my thesis, I focus on gender analysis of fairy tale stories for children. Fairy tales are generally perceived as a world of fantasy where the boundaries outlining the categories of social structure are transgressed. Most of the traditional fairy tales sustain the traditional gender structure. These fairy tales construct the normative gender roles and identities, which can help reproduce existing gender order. In this sense fairy tales represent the way of reproduction of gender inequalities in the society.
