Mejstříková, Dorotea ; Vaněk, Miroslav (advisor) ; Wohlmuth Markupová, Jana (referee)
The diploma thesis "O svobodě v nesvobodě: Setkávání studentů U Bílého koníčka před rokem 1989." deals with the development of events in the student editorial boards of magazines and newspapers that preceded November 17th, 1989 from the perspective of beginning journalists, editors and graphic designers who teamed up in these magazines, who were able to quickly organize themselves, to inform peripherals about the intervention on Národní třída and to set up strike committees thanks to a network of contacts at faculties everywhere in Czechoslovakia. The work reflects the narratives of narrators about censorship, self- censorship, and the courage to write about otherwise forbidden topics. It deals with the role of the Czechoslovak Socialist Youth Union in the possibility of publishing magazines and the role of the students, who comment on their historical role several decades later. In addition to the testimonies of narrators who met at the Student Press and Information Centre in the U Bílého koníčka club, the diploma thesis also uses their diary entries and the periodical press analyses.

The End of Writer's Career: Urban Folklore Which Breaks the Law
Mejstříková, Dorotea ; Večerka, Kazimír (advisor) ; Grygar, Jakub (referee)
Graffiti is a game in which heroic courage and great tension are applied. It is an unusual and risky activity beyond the law, associated with dangerous and illegal intrusion into the secured areas of the underground metro system or climbing the roofs of buildings and high walls. All this means for the writer to write his name on the wall and reap the recognition of his colleagues from the subculture for it. The work looks at graffiti from the perspective of their representatives. Its aim is to answer the question whether the writer's motives to remain in the graffiti subculture change over time, how the writers perceive the sanctions of their surroundings, and whether the sanctions of the institutions affect the end of the writer's career. Data collection will take place through semi-structured interviews with respondents from the graffiti environment, participatory observation and qualitative content analysis of printed materials and websites, used for the exchange of information, especially between active members of the subculture. Keywords Graffiti, subculture, art, vandalism, subcultural career, criminal liability, social sanctions Title The End of Writer's Career: Urban Folklore Which Breaks the Law.
