Czech Architect during the Political Changes after 1989
Ševčíková, Lucie ; Lahoda, Vojtěch (advisor) ; Kratochvíl, Petr (referee)
In this thesis, the author wants to deal with the broad spectrum of the contemporary Czech architecture. However, the phrase "Czech architect" appears in the title to show that this thesis is not a critical analysis of the stylish development of Czech architecture, but rather a search for links and inspirations that define the modern architectural profession in Czech society. These links and connections are deeply rooted in architects' experiences before and after the political regime change. The author feels that the architects' understanding of today's society and political transformation will help clarify some uncertainties of their meaning and status. One can understand the modern architects and the course of the Czech chamber of architecture as well as the public sector with it's ever changing tendencies ever since 1989 if the broad spectrum of contemporary architecture is kept in perspective.

Styková, Klaudia ; Pullmann, Michal (advisor) ; Michela, Miroslav (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with the case of the hijacking of the MÁLEV Hungarian Airlines aeroplane. This took place at Prague Ruzyně Airport on March 29th 1989 where the aircraft Tupolev Tu-154 B2 on the scheduled flight MA640 from Budapest to Amsterdam had a stopover. This thesis further deals with the issue of unlawful acts against the safety of civil aviation and with Czechoslovak legislation relating to these unlawful acts. The thesis provides an overview of unlawful acts of civil aviation that occurred in Czechoslovakia between 1948 and 1991. The course of the hijacking, profiles of the hijackers, sequence of the investigation in the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic as well as the sequence of investigation in the Federal Republic of Germany, where the plane landed and where the hijackers were arrested, investigated and ultimately judged is also analysed. The main objective of this thesis is to analyze the motivations of the hijackers. In conclusion, I attempt to clarify the causes of hijacking as well as I attempt to justify or disprove the current hypothesis that the main reason for the hijacking was not the socialist regime in Czechoslovakia. Key words: hijack, Prague Ruzyně Aiport, Frankfurt - Rhein-Main Air Base, the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic, the Federal Republic of Germany, 1989

The media image of the Velvet Revolution in terms of conspiracy theories
Mrnková, Kamila ; Cebe, Jan (advisor) ; Končelík, Jakub (referee)
The topic of this diploma thesis is the media image of the Velvet Revolution related to various conspiracy theories. This view can be traced in Czechoslovak (and later Czech periodicals) on the basis of predetermined storylines. The specified period for the analysis of individual elements of these theories is from November 17, 1989 to about mid-1993, or earlier if the periodical ceased to be published. The period of the Velvet Revolution is a fundamental period of our republic, which at this time underwent an economic, political, social transformation… And few aspects of everyday life remained the same as before the revolution. Because this change took place so suddenly and so quickly, a lot of rumors, misinformation, and conspiracy theories began to spread to explain to some extent what had happened, especially if they did not like the officially recognized version of events. It is these alternative explanations of the events of that time that are the subject of this work. I will analyze them in a total of 7 titles, in Rudé právo, Lidové noviny, Studentské listy, Respekt, Květy, Špígl and Analýza 17 listopadu by Miroslav Dolejší. First, I will introduce the theoretical basis of concepts such as conspiracy theory, misinformation, ect., with which I will continue to work. I will also outline the...

Barták, Tomáš ; Císař, Ondřej (advisor) ; Škvrňák, Michael (referee)
This bachelor's thesis deals with the analysis of metaphors constructed by important actors of the Velvet Revolution and the subsequent period of political and social transformation between 1989-2019 from interviews with two Czech Television programs (Interview ČT24 and Události, komentáře). The aim of the bachelor thesis is to describe the existing variability of discourse and arguments to the followed period from the point of view of important actors in relation to metaphors as a discursive means and to find out what significant events the speakers refer to. The bachelor thesis has an interpretive character and therefore does not test the hypothesis. The theoretical part of the thesis deals with the interpretation of the theory of social transformation and the concept of the so-called catching-up revolutions according to Jürgen Habermas and also with the interpretation of social and political divisions in a democratic society. The thesis then provides an overview of current research knowledge on the interpretation of the discourse on the events of 1989 and the transformation period and their interpretation. In the analytical part of the text, 10 categories of metaphors are explained through the analysis of metaphors and thematic analysis, which frame the observed statements of speakers into...
