Life as a tea ceremony - On subculture of tea fans in Czech republic
 Binková, Kateřina ; Heřmanský, Martin (advisor) ; Ištvánek, Prokop (referee)
In this paper I have focused on subculture of tea fans, in people who devote intensively their time to tea and tea culture and whose lifestyle is characterized by being somehow alternative in comparison to mainstream society. The work is based on the empirical research which was running from 2007 to 2009. The main data source were semi-structured interviews gathered up at different places of the Czech Republic in years 2007 - 2008. The aim of this study has been to ascertain who the tea fans are, what tea and tea-making signify for them and how it is reflected in their lives. At the same time I have focused on the understanding how tea fans make sense of tea rooms as basic units of transmission of tea culture and in which way they are linked to their surroundings and wider society. In order to study tea fans' life I have consulted concepts of subculture, to which basic characterization tea fans suit. Simultaneously I have pointed out that in contrast with classical concepts of subculture, the tea fans' one differ in many aspects. First of all in the aspect that in this case it does not represent youth subculture and also it is not the subculture which would "fight" towards mainstream society.
