Burýšková, Kateřina ; Jagošová, Anna (advisor) ; Košťálová, Petra (referee)
This thesis examines the Masopust cultural event in Roztoky u Prahy. The author explores how this event is perceived by its participants, and primarily tries to answer the question concerning what symbolic meaning can visiting this event represent in their lives and whether they perceive this event as an important milestone they would not want to miss each year. Furthermore, the author explores these topics: do the participants actively take part in this event, how do they prepare for this event and whether it is important for them to wear a mask and why. The thesis is divided into two parts, a theoretical part and a practical part. The theoretical part examines the history of the carnival, both in the historical Czech lands, and in Roztoky. The practical part presents the results of the author's field research, conducted in the years 2022 and 2023. Key words: carnival, folklore, folk festivities, contemporary traditions, ethnographic field work, semi-structured interview

Buryšková, Kateřina ; Stará, Jana (advisor) ; Krčmářová, Tereza (referee)
The diploma thesis focuses on the research of understanding of different aspects of the relationship between humans and animals in primary school children. The aim of the thesis is to find out what preconceptions children of early school age have about, for example, animal husbandry, domestication or killing animals for different purposes. The theoretical part defines the term animal, introduces the discipline of human-animal studies and presents some of the existing research findings on children's relationship with animals. It also discusses how the topic is covered in the first, second and third grade textbooks and in the Framework Education Programme for Elementary Education. Finally, it characterises constructivism and children's interpretations of the world. The practical part describes the research methodology. Data were collected using semi-structured in-depth interviews with first grade students and the results were analysed by the method of open coding and interpreted. The results indicate that that students hold the largest number of misconceptions in the area of livestock. KEYWORDS: primary school children, children's understanding, preconceptions, constructivism, qualitative research, semi-structured interview, human-animal relationship
