Populism as a discursive strategy: an analysis of the communication of selected populist actors in the Czech political arena
Křovák, Jan ; Charvát, Jakub (advisor) ; Just, Petr (referee)
This paper analyses the concept of populism as a discursive strategy. Therefore, it uses the view of populist discourse as discussed by Ernesto Laclau and other authors in their works. The author analyses the communication practices of four selected Czech political actors on social networks (Facebook and Twitter) in the period before the elections to the Chamber of Deputies of the Parliament of the Czech Republic in October 2021. For the analysis, the author chose representatives who are commonly labelled as populists, i.e. former Prime Minister Andrej Babiš, far-right populists, i.e. Tomio Okamura, and then two politicians representing mainstream parties - Markéta Pekarová Adamová from TOP 09 and Vít Rakušan from STAN. In the theoretical part, the author describes in depth the phenomenon of populism on the basis of expert literature, and in a comprehensive way points out the relationship between populism, social networks, media and political communication. In the practical part, the author conducted a so-called critical discursive analysis of posts of the politicians on the above-mentioned social media and then compared their dominant communication practices. The author then places the data and results of the research in context of the populist narrative described in the theoretical part of the thesis.

Oriana Fallaci and her methods of conducting interviews
Křovák, Jan ; Osvaldová, Barbora (advisor) ; Macková, Veronika (referee)
The thesis is focused mainly on the work of an Italian journalist Oriana Fallaci. It is specifically oriented on the methods she used while conducting interviews with such figures as Yasser Arafat, Muammar Gaddafi or ayatollah Khomeini. The author of the thesis chooses a well-known Czech interview expert, journalist and writer Karel Hvížďala to compare his work with Fallaci's. The theoretical part explains on the one hand the lives of both of the famous journalists, but also the theoretical concepts and methods of conducting an interview. The practical part pays attention to the comparison of the methods used by Fallaci and Hvížďala with special focus on Fallaci, and answers the question that the author of the thesis asks himself in the beginning.
