Moving Around a City - Rationality of Travel Mode Choice
Braun Kohlová, Markéta ; Musil, Jiří (advisor) ; Kreidl, Martin (referee) ; Marada, Miroslav (referee)
RESUME Moving Around a City - Rationality of Travel Mode Choice The aim of my study is to answer questions related to explanation of the travel mode choice used by people for regular commuting and what role in their decision making can be attributed to location of their residence, i.e. how the travel mode choice differs in case of traditional urban residents and suburban residents. I have limited my focus only to the travel modes used by adult residents of the Czech Republic. The reason why to study everyday commuting is the fact that people currently living in western cities spend a lot of time and money commuting and that the aggregate of everyday individual mobility generates an important environmental impact. Thus, this work represents a contribution to dynamically developing areas of sociology of travel and mobility as well as a general contribution to sociology of action. The choice of methodology in this study is based on the presumption that despite the fact that the travel mode choice represents a routine (social) behaviour, to a certain extent it can be seen as rational. Thus, I try to explain individual mobility by incorporating it into patterns of human motivation, means and goals, i.e. into categories of human action, in a context of specific conditions and situational constraints.

What holds society together? The concept of societal community and constitutive symbolism in Talcott Parsons, Richard Münch and Jeffrey Alexander
Německý, Marek ; Šubrt, Jiří (advisor) ; Skalník, Petr (referee) ; Musil, Jiří (referee)
1. In my thesis I try to answer the question: "What holds society together?" by using theoretical conceptual tools of Parsonian functionalist sociology. I work especially with Parson's concept of societal community as it is defined in his book Socities. Evolutionary and Comparative Perspective. I work with the definition of societal community used in this book. Societal community is formed on one hand by a normative system of order, on the other hand by statuses, rights and obligations derived from membership thereof. [Parsons 1966: 31] I work with this skizza concept and try to reconstruct Parsons's concept by using conception of other authors, especially neo-functionalists (Jeffrey Alexander, Richard Munch, Samuel Eisenstadt), and by other authors as well (David Lockwood, Stein Rokkan, Lewis Coser, John Rawls). In spite of the fact that I use the interpreations of these authors, I consider my thesis an original piece of work, because especially last named authors do not explicitly use the concept of societal community. I reconstructed the concept of societal community with the complexity which cannot be found in the works of other authors [Gerhardt 2001]. 2. In the first step I try to reconstruct the concept based on the work of Talcott Parsons. I came to the conclusion that Parsons sees the...

Dionysiac scenes on red figure vases of south Italy
Kalasová, Barbora ; Musil, Jiří (referee) ; Ondřejová, Iva (advisor)
South Italy, once called Magna Graecia, was source of ancient Greek pottery fabricated mostly during the fourth century B.C. which is commonly called South Italian pottery. First, many scholars thought, that this pottery was imported from Athens, but in fact the Greeks living in South Italy produced here their own red- figured pottery since the end of fifth century B.C. Many workshops were influenced by Attic pottery and they developed their own style later during the fourth century B.C. All South Italian workshops initially took up the style of Attic workshops of Athens, when many craftsmen left the city because of the Peloponnesian Wars. Five areas or schools of South Italian pottery, that produced the red-figured ware, are identified: Apulia (various workshops in Taras), Lucania (Heraclea, Metaponto), Paestum (Paestum), Campania (Capua and Cumae) and Sicily (Syracuse and Lipari). The red-figured pottery was produced here between 440 B.C. and the end of fourth century B.C. Almost all pottery forms that were developed in Greece were produced also in South Italy. Very popular were calyx-craters and bell-craters, which were marvellously decorated by the vase painters. South Italian potters developed some new pottery forms and shapes(bail amphora, nestoris etc.). At first the elements of decoration were the...
