The Phenomenon of the Present Tatoo and Piercing in Light of Rritual Behaviour
 JERSÁKOVÁ, Klára
Tattoos and piercings are modern trends in the present time. Society still has prejudice against people who have tatoos because being tattooed was description only applied to offenders in the past. I´ll try to change that point of view about tattooes and people with piercing in my thesis. I´ll concentrate on explaining the concepts of tattos and piercing within a historical context and then I{\crq}ll gradually progress towards understanding these phenomena into their present day forms. Consequently, I´ll explain the concepts of ritual partly from an anthopoloigcal and also partly from a psychological point of view, as well as the currrent meaning for society and how this affects the individual. The most important point of this thesis is to explain if it is possible to comprehend tattooing and piercing as curative behaviour within the present postmodern society. The target of thesis is analyse the motivational factors for tattooing and piercing by identifying and analysing the ritual aspect of today{\crq}s phenomenon of tattooing and piercing, with a point of view towards the absence of ritual within the present postmodern society. I have used the qualitative investigative method with the help of a structured interview with a specific target group and I{\crq}ve also used observation, as a research method. Furthermore, I have used a second type of updated analysis (found in literature). The main target is the composite of a person who is tattooed and pierced; as opposed to the minimum prerequisite for this procedure which are having at least two tattoos or two piercings per individual. The additional file contains information of those tattooed people or by the people who do the piercing. The research questions regard the qualitative character of the development and have been determined based upon the results that are evident for some people that a tattoo symbolizes the kind of personal expression. On the contrary, piercing is largely done just as a fashion statement. Tattooing and piercing are on the rise independently from the escape of an individual life period and it means that they doesn´t pose medical problems. The large significance presents the choice of motives, which are the main factors of the respondents for the further motivation for an additional tattoo or piercing.

Social work with non-conformal subculture members {--} sprayers in České Budějovice
 JERSÁKOVÁ, Klára
Graffiti is often discussed and medialised phenomenon at present days. A sprayer is usually presented as a young member of graffiti subculture who realises his need of adrenalin in this way and quite often connected to other pathological phenomena such as deliquency or drug use. In the work I focus on explaining the meaning of ``subculture``and its origin and function. I also try to understand and deepen knowledge of graffiti from art and pathological aspects. Motivation of graffiti production forms the basis of the work. The aim of the work is to describe and map out the sprayer subculture in České Budějovice in the framework of preventive and repressive measures. A qualitative methods of structured interview and observation are used in the research. It is completed with a secondary data analysis based on literature. The aimed group consists of sprayers in České Budějovice and they are chosen through the snowball technique. The complementary group consists of professionals who are in contact with sprayers. The hypotheses, due to the qualitative research, were stated on the results. The conclusion is that the basic motivation of graffiti production is the need of self-expression and self-determination. The fact that the group provides these people with confidence and friendly relations plays an enormous role. Social pathology is not necessarily connected with graffiti. To understand motivation and experience of the sprayers is a cornerstone of the work. It could help better understanding between sprayers and repressive bodies. A man should know at least a bit about the facts before he presents his mostly negative verdicts.
