Regulation of Electronic Communications
Rosenberg, Jan ; Císař, Jan (advisor) ; Munzi, Tomáš (referee)
The purpose of my diploma thesis is to determine whether regulation of fixed access electronic communications networks, as defined by the European regulatory framework, leads in Czech market to its objectives to be reached and possibly discuss the reasons for failure. For this purpose diploma thesis analyzed the development of two relevant markets focusing on competition in fixed telecommunications services. The work shows that the purpose of regulation is not completely filled, because there is no reduction in market share of incumbent at both markets. However, it is only because of settings of regulation. However, from the perspective of the end customer, competitive market exists. Author in the end proposes own solution to the problem in the form of deregulation of access obligation.

Theatre and iIlusion
Bartoš, Zdeněk ; Císař, Jan (advisor) ; Hyvnar, Jan (referee) ; Porubjak, Martin (referee)
The thesis explores different meanings of the illusion in theatrical context in the past and searches how to define this effect. It compares definitions in classic resources (Fureti?re, Marmontel, D?Aubignac, Stendhal, Hugo etc.) as well as in contemporary dictionaries (Pavis, Corvin) and asks a question if an illusion as a false appearance of reality (in so far the spectator forgets he is in the theatre or takes the watched performance or its part for a real event) is possible. The study affirms such an illusion is excluded in essence, except for occurrences when the theatre-goer is unable to distinguish between the intentional and unintentional potency included in the artwork (according to Mukařovský) or between the technical and image aspect of the work (according to Zich) or he does not discern a model from the original (according to Osolsobě), i.e. he does not identify the theatre as such. Author quotes some concrete (feinted or real) examples of an irruption of ?extra-theatrical reality? into a running show. Main part is consecrated to the analysis of the illusion as in-play (i-llusio), i.e. creation of a ?ludic reality?, framework of a game which theatre-goers may join. Author considers this playful, ludic aspect, contained in the root of the word ?illusion?, as the most important and vital thing related to matters of the theatre illusion. It is necessary to think over possibilities how to involve spectators in such a game (play) and consequences of these attempts. Effects of theatralisation, once considered as anti-illusive effects, are very close to it (today we can look at them as on a small part of rich theatrical conventions).

Performance
Šefrnová, Tereza ; Císař, Jan (advisor) ; Etlík, Jaroslav (referee)
In my MA thesis entitled Performance: Selected issues of performance studies and an outline of the current state performance in the Czech Republic, I focus on the phenomenon of performance, which is often a topic of heated debate in theater studies and humanities in general. It is a topic that is controversial, relevant and still open. In the first part, I try to brig the topic into context and to outline a possible classification of performance. In the second part, I will try to answer the following three questions relating to performance studies: 1. To what extent are performance and experiment simile? 2. Why did Barba opt for this particular type of cultural exchange and what does it mean in context? 3. What is the importance of the idealisation of normative identity to the study of performance? In the third section, I will try to use structured and semistructured interviews with artists to provide an outline of the current state of performance in the Czech Republic.
