Children's word in Vietnam
Vu Thi Thu, Thuy ; Hlavatá, Lucie (advisor) ; Slavická, Binh (referee)
The topic of this thesis is "Child and childhood in Vietnam". It focuses on the prenatal and the early period of childhood. The thesis uses a cultural anthropological point of view which emphasizes superstitious or taboo behaviour associated with the time of birth - pregnancy, childbirth, puerperium and child care. For the purposes of the thesis, the research was conducted in the north-east urban areas of Northern Vietnam. Since the myths, taboos and rituals tends to change, develop or even perish, it was necessary to limit the topic in terms of time. Therefore the work studies only three generations of Vietnamese women over a sixty-year period. The thesis is based not only on relevant literature but also on the field research conducted in Vietnam. The interviews and unobtrusive observation carried out among involved women extend the information gained from literature and also provide the women's personal point of view on childbirth and early childcare issues. The main objective is to answer how much the so-called "child's world" has changed in the three-generation period and to what extent the rituals, myths and taboos are still relevant to current issues in contemporary Vietnam. Key words: Vietnam, children, childhood, Vietnamese family, birth, child care, taboo, rituals, superstitions.

The Chams: language and cultural implications
Hlavatá, Lucie ; Vrhel, František (advisor) ; Lomová, Olga (referee) ; Liščák, Vladimír (referee)
This work deals with the lingual and resulting cultural problems of the Cham minority ethnic living in central and southern Vietnam. Between the 2nd and 15th centuries, the Cham people had created their own hinduized state with an original culture in this area. We consider the Cham language the crucial problem for finding the identity and the integration of this ethnic into the contemporary multiethnic society in Vietnam, as well as in greater scope, in the whole region of South-East Asia. The work is divided into two basic parts: the first part considers the characteristics of the Cham language, where our attention is focused especially on the Cham dialects and typological classification. The second part addresses the contemporary position of the Cham language in Vietnam, the official and true approach to these problems, the bilingual Cham names and the Cham literary traditions. The interest in Cham language dates from about mid-19th century. After being first described by John Crawfurd, it has been the concern of the French linguists from EFEO for a long time. On account of these stated investigations, we mention in this work the genealogical classification of the Cham language. We had paid great attention to the Cham dialects, especially in relation to religious problems. ...

The Cult of the Mother Goddesses (Dao Mau) in Vietnam (with a focus on South Vietnam)
Pospíšilová, Veronika ; Hlavatá, Lucie (advisor) ; Slavická, Binh (referee)
This MA thesis deals with the topic of the cult of Mother Goddesses in Vietnam with special reference to South Vietnam. The subject is discussed from the point of view of cultural anthropology and special attention is paid to some specific aspects, which differentiate this popular belief from other religions. The cult of Mother Goddesses is characterised in greater detail on the basis of certain hypotheses and is viewed through the prism of various ethnologically oriented paradigms. The first part of the work describes the development of this cult, its Vietnamese specifics and its position in the context of the local religious milieu. Furthermore, the work discusses the characters of the individual Mother Goddesses and the collected theoretical knowledge is compared with the results of empirical research. On the background of the example of Mother Goddess Bà Chúa Xứ, the work elucidates certain topics, which are related to the cult of Mother Goddesses, but are considerably differentiated regionally. It is therefore necessary to present these aspects by way of concrete examples and to see them in the cultural-historical context. The second part of the work is based especially on the analyses of the results of the field research and it attempts to clarify the extent of the public knowledge about this...

Manifestations of Animism among Khmers in Cambodia and in South Vietnam
Pospíšilová, Veronika ; Hlavatá, Lucie (advisor) ; Vrhel, František (referee) ; Liščák, Vladimír (referee)
This doctoral thesis discusses the manifestations of animism among Khmers in Cambodia and in south Vietnam. The subject is viewed from the culturally-anthropological perspective and attention is paid primarily to the specifics that are present in the everyday life of Khmers. The paper characterizes the manifestations of animism within the scope of the selected hypotheses and perceives this topic through various ethnological paradigms. The doctoral thesis marginally introduces animism as a phenomenon, the Khmer as a people, animistic rituals, and traditional Khmer feasts. Furthermore, the paper focuses on the importance of the shaman and other spiritual figures in the Khmer religious conception, the topic of healing, rites of passage, specific Khmer supernatural entities, and places where they are worshipped. The entire thesis includes the comparison of theoretical knowledge with the results of empirical research in selected areas. Using specific examples, it is demonstrated that animism is a part of syncretism, which is still an important component of the Khmer culture and significantly influences important life decisions. Rather than a unified discourse that would strictly subscribe to linear composition, the doctoral thesis is a prolegomenon to the phenomenon of animism in the Khmer culture and...
