Czech community in Australia in transnational perspective
Hlaváčková, Tereza ; Šatava, Leoš (advisor) ; Jakoubek, Marek (referee)
This study deals with Czech speakers in Australia, focusing on their use of the Czech and English languages as tools of belonging to a community. Its aim is to discuss the situation of Czech speakers on the continent from the perspective of a small Czech language in an English-speaking country. The starting point for the study is scientific publications on bilingualism, multilingualism and transnationalism issued in the Czech and English-speaking environments. Another source is books about the history of the immigration and language policies in Australia and about the Australian identity. Finally, the methods involve field research based on participant observation of groups of Czechs in social networks and during Czech church services in Sydney in November 2015. Fieldwork is also based on semi-structured interviews which took place in Australia between August 2014 and January 2016. They were intended to study the reality of Czech speakers in Australia and to illustrate the theories on the use of language by bilingual speakers in the Australian context. The first part of this study gives the theoretical background to the notions of transnationalism, belonging to a group, bilingualism and changes in language use. The second part focuses on language and immigration policies of the states of Australia...

A comparison of selected anthropological theories in view of their pragmatic value
Hájek, Daniel ; Vrhel, František (advisor) ; Jakoubek, Marek (referee)
The study deals with the problem of applicability of two anthropological theories, structural functionalism and interpretive anthropology of Clifford Geertz. By applicability is meant what concrete difference using of one or the other theory brings about in ethnography. Each of the theories is at first thoroughly examined with emphasis on its possible aims, assumptions, and consequences for an ethnographer. Then each theory is put to test in examination of one particular ethnography associated with the theory. Evans-Pritchard's The Nuer serves as an instance of structural functionalism. Clifford Geertz's Negara as an example of interpretative analysis. Structural functionalism is shown to provide an ethnographer with a much more definite guidance which contributes to better possibilities of verification and comparability of the results than interpretive anthropology. Apart from the main subject, the study is concerned with more general questions, especially related to non-existence of a paradigm in anthropology and some of its causes.

Vojvodovo Sketches
Jakoubek, Marek ; Horský, Jan (advisor) ; Moravcová, Mirjam (referee) ; Penčev, Vladimir (referee)
The dissertation "Vojvodovo Sketches" thesis consists of an introduction and further of published texts related to Vojvodovo. Vojvodovo, a Czech village in north-western Bulgaria founded in 1900 by about twenty Czech evangelical families from the village of Svatá Helena in what is today the Romanian part of Banat, which they left because of religious disputes and a shortage of land. Although Bulgaria engaged in several armed conflicts in the first decades of the twentieth century, the village flourished economically and the population rose steadily during that period. Eventually, however, its economic prosperity, based almost exclusively on agriculture, was curtailed by a land shortage. As a result, some villagers emigrated to Argentina in 1928. By 1934/5 the village was again overcrowded and suffering serious land shortage. This time some of its inhabitants moved to the Turkish village of Belinci in north-eastern Bulgaria (Isperich region). The history of Czech settlement in Vojvodovo, as well as Belinci, effectively ends in 1949-1950, when the overwhelming majority of their Czech inhabitants left as a part of post-war migratory processes organized under inter-state agreements and resettled in several villages in the South Moravia region of the Czechoslovak Republic. Vojvodovans were renowned for their...

Blažková Sršňová, Šárka ; Beneš, Milan (advisor) ; Kopecký, Martin (referee) ; Jakoubek, Marek (referee)
The doctoral thesis deals with questions of intercultural education in context of foreign language teaching and learning by adults. Language and culture are interrelated and inseparable from each other in terms of their acquirement.

Culture and interculturality are significant and key part of foreign language education and fundamental for the development and formation of the student's personality. The main topic of this thesis is the study of the relationship between foreign language teaching and learning versus intercultural learning by adults. The main goal of the thesis is to find and describe what possibilities and media contemporary foreign language learning and teaching anticipate for involving and implementing of culturological paradigm. The text also focuses on some problematical questions in view of the essence of intercultural education, namely in relation to foreign language education.

Beseda, Jan ; Ezzeddine, Petra (advisor) ; Jakoubek, Marek (referee)
All in one sack: a media anthropology of the Roma This dissertation brings a new view to Czech media sciences on the subject of ethnic minority. The purposes of this work is to demonstrate: how the Roma perceive representations of themselves in printed media, how they are perceived, and how the image of the Roma is constructed in print media. From an anthropologist's standpoint, the topic of this research paper is being analyzed from an emic point of view, meaning from the participant's perspective. The disciplinary framework falls under the umbrella of cultural studies and media anthropology. The dissertation concerns itself mainly with the self-definition of the Roma: a Rom being someone who defines her/himself as a Rom. The work examines data taken from eleven in-person interviews with Romani participants and ten interviews with persons from the ethnic majority.

Culture of Roma settlements
Jakoubek, Marek ; Soukup, Václav (advisor) ; Budil, Ivo (referee) ; Patočka, Jiří (referee) ; Uherek, Zdeněk (referee)
Tématem následujících stránek je analýza kultury romských osad. Přestože je sousloví "romské osady" poměrně hojně frekventované, v otázce jeho užívání panuje značný zmatek a je tedy již téměř nemožné zjistit a říci, co si pod ním ten který autor vlastně představuje. V této stati budu toto označení užívat jako termín a obsahem mé práce bude do značné míry právě snaha o jeho definici. Jako každý termín, je i pojem "romská osada" svou povahou arbitrární, jedná se o konvenční, nehodnotící nálepku. Důvodem, proč jsem jako jeden z centrálních pojmů zvolil zaužívané a významově přetížené sousloví je ten, že za prvé laický výraz "romská osada" má konotace blízké významu tohoto pojmu v přítomné stati (v tomto ohledu se tedy jedná jen o jakousi kultivaci slova běžné mluvy) a za druhé dosavadní pokusy o zavedení jiného označení pomocí neologizmu dosud vždy selhaly (ať se již jednalo o termín slovenské státní správy "obytná zoskupenia na nízkom sociokultúrnom stupni" či termín "kumulovaná romská sídliště" 1 z autorské dílny S. Kužela). Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)
