"Two women, two entirely different lifestyles." : analysis of the woman's role construction in the Wife Swap reality show
Jelínková, Blanka ; Reifová, Irena (advisor) ; Řeháčková, Dana (referee)
Equal opportunities of women and men is a very complex issue that is a central interest of many nonprofit organizations (e. g. Gender Studies, ProFem etc.). In diverse fields of our everyday life, we can witness the complexity of common day gender issues, including, but definetely not limited to our labour market and law areas. Also, the media domain is constantly providing a source for us to personally visualize and analyze these various gender concepts. In correspondence with an alternative paradigm we assume, media is a very powerful tool that can maintain traditional gender stereotypes in society. But, as powerful as the media can be in maintaining these traditional stereotypes, they are just as capable to deconstruct them and instill a fresher view. We want to reveal if gender stereotypes truly do exist in the reality TV show Wife Swap. The main goal of our work is to show how the woman's role was created for her, and what it had to consist of in this reality show, and whether the traditional concepts are seen in the filming's end product. Although the men's role is in this show also very important, it is mediocre relative to the wife's role. With use of a qualitative research method - the grounded theory, we examined all fifteen parts of the first season of this show. We paid special attention to...

Semantic web in the confrontation with Peirce's Semiotics
Řeháčková, Dana ; Fišerová, Michaela (advisor) ; Švantner, Martin (referee)
The Semantic web was created for the conceptualization of data available on the Internet. Through formalized representations that are determined for data sharing and reusing, its vision should be achieved. One of the main aims of the Semantic web is to achieve answers to a searched question which demonstrates high exactness and relevance. The controversy and polysemy of the term "Semantic web" lets us consider the question: "What is the limit of involving semantic aspects provided on Semantic web?" Is it not only the amount of determinations of specific standards that are connected with data itself? The main aim of this thesis is to compare the use of the terminology appearing on the Semantic web in semantic metadiscourse with traditional academic semiotic approaches appearing from pragmatism of Ch. S. Peirce, Ch. W. Morris, and H. P. Grice. The main thesis aim is to clarify the function of semantic web, basically its function and its conception, by comparation academic's semiotics' approaches of pragmaticism Ch. S. Peirce and pragmatism H.P. Grice to help with mapping the problematic area which is connected with using terms such as "meaning," and "understanding," and to explore and make less confused the possibilities of the function of the Semantic web.
