Changes in the Portrayal of the Hussites within the Czech Cinema
Šebková, Jarmila ; Šubrt, Jiří (advisor) ; Skovajsa, Marek (referee)
The Hussites have never been unequivocally understood in Czech history. The thesis attempts to answer the question of how and why the image of the Hussites in Czech film production has changed. As current research shows, film production plays a significant role in shaping the general public's historical consciousness and its collective memory. The thesis employs a qualitative content analysis that is not based on standardized procedures of critical discourse analysis. Seven feature films with Hussite themes from 1947-2022 were analysed, and the individual films were then compared with each other. The qualitative analysis shows that over the past eight decades, significant changes in the image of Hussitism have taken place. While in the first decades the Hussites were portrayed as a social group suffering under the oppression of the enemy, from the 1960s onwards the films includes criticism of their wartime activities. At the same time, there is a noticeable trend in the films to give more and more importance to religious issues. In terms of social relations, the greatest changes can be seen in the portrayal of women, who are taking on more and more prominent and active roles in the films. These changes in the image of the Hussites can be explained by a number of factors, including the change in...

Sociological analyses of mass society
Žáková, Lisa-Anna ; Skovajsa, Marek (advisor) ; Šubrt, Jiří (referee)
The bachelor thesis deals with the development of reflection on the phenomenon of mass society in German sociology in the first two thirds of the 20th century. The thesis is divided into eight parts, in which the most important concepts related to mass society are explained in turn; the works and perspectives of the various theorists who have dealt with the phenomenon are presented; and finally, the different conceptualizations and reflections on mass society are analyzed. In particular, the works of Karl Mannheim, Theodor Geiger, Emil Lederer, Hannah Arendt, Theodor W. Adorno, and Max Horkheimer are examined. Marginally, the thesis also focuses on the influence of the analysed concepts of mass society on later sociology and sociological theories and reflects on their relevance for contemporary society. All the findings are linked and evaluated in the discussion chapter. Mass society is understood by the authors under review as a predominantly negative phenomenon with a destructive energy having a negative impact on many sectors of society, such as culture and democracy.

Perceptions of Justice in Postmodern Societies
Heráčková, Lucie ; Mazák, Jaromír (advisor) ; Šubrt, Jiří (referee)
Lucie Heráčková Abstract Factors for interpreting the social world as just The concept of justice refers to the interrelationship between the individual and the general welfare. However, the concept of "justice" is not clearly defined in sociology. According to Emile Durkheim, justice is a state that is required by social groups to maintain cohesion. Scheonfeld & Mestrovic (1989) argue that justice can be seen as equivalent to Durkheim's solidarity given that the means for acquiring justice are important for maintaining solidarity in society. Modern sociology often distinguishes between distributive and procedural justice (Šanderová, 2017), the former noting the perceived fairness of the resulting distribution of rewards and sanctions, while the latter the fairness of the process that leads to this distribution. For distributive justice, it may be analytically important to distinguish between the level of distribution of goods (who receives valuable resources and for what) and the distribution of sanctions (how and who will be punished if they act against the common good) (Šanderová, 2017). A situation where an individual's perception of justice is positive is a desirable phenomenon for the maintenance of social order. Conversely, a negative perception of justice promotes alternative actions and becomes a...

O čarodějnícich a duších mezi námi: Zkoumání jak nadpřirozené bytosti rozkrývají sociální procesy v urbánním Pakistánu
Wasif, Zoya ; Šubrt, Jiří (advisor) ; Německý, Marek (referee)
One glaring condition of the enlightenment and modernity is that human beings have been placed at the center of the world in majority of academic disciplines, a condition which the Social Sciences have not been spared from. In an attempt to follow in the footsteps of scholars such as Robert Orsi and his research on presence within Catholicism, the project aims to explore how we as scholars can be more accepting of and hospitable of multiple temporalities, particularly within the field of sociology. This project aims to uncover the sociological significance of subjects experiences when narrate accounts that allude to supernatural beings. I want to display how such encounters add to our understanding of people's perception of their role within society and how their behavior towards others is implicitly shaped by such beliefs.
