Kůdelová, Marie ; Jandejsek, Petr (advisor) ; Martinek, Michael (referee)
Zusammenfassung/Summary Die Bakkalaureusarbeit mit dem Titel "Synode über die Familie - die pastorelle Voranmeldungen für die zeitgenössische Familie" nähert die auf der Bischöfsynode der römisch-katholischen Kirche in Jahren 2014 und 2015 besprochenen Themen an. Sie erklärt die Stellung der katholischen Kirche zu den aktuellen Fragen, die die Familie in der heutigen Gesellschaft betreffen. Die Autorin beschreibt zuerst die Entwicklung der Familie in europäischen Bedingunden und zeigt manche Riffe, mit dieser Entwicklung verbunden. Daran bindet sie die Vorstellung den kirchlichen Dokumente an, die im Zusammenhang mit der außerordentlichen und ordentlichen Synode über die Familiepubliziert wurden. Der abschließende Teil resümiert Reflexionen den Laien und auch den Fachleute aus der tschechischen Umgebung und formuliert manche pastorelle Blicke. Die Ergebnisse der Arbeit zeigen, daß gläubige Familien brauchen, von der Kirche ein echtes Interesse für ihre Situation zu empfinden. Der Blick auf die Familie in der Lehre der römisch-katholischen Kirche weist den Fortschritt insbesondere im Bereich der Pastoration den geschiedenen Personen aus. Die Autorin der Arbeit meint, daß ein entgegenkommender Zutritt zu den Leuten, die die Kirche noch vorhin für exkommuniziert gehalten hat, ist der Weg der Evangelisation.

Pavelcová, Tereza ; Koudelková, Petra (advisor) ; Soukup, Martin (referee)
This diploma thesis is concerned with characteristics of evangelization in Czech media in the year 2015. On the basis of the turning points in Christian life in the 20th century, their key documents while being aware of the privatized spirituality in post-modern Europe, decline of institutional religion and a complete change in lifestyle this diploma thesis analyses the "communication strategy" of the church that should appeal to readers unaware of the Gospel message. The practical part of thesis has two sections. The content analysis quantifies the manifestations of the mission aim in chosen print and on-line media, such as selected journalistic genres, main and side themes, using headline rhetoric, visual element and also by references to Christian communities or by publishing contact details of spiritual authorities. The qualitative semiotic analysis of a smaller number of texts then constitutes paradigmatic models of print and on-line media based on most frequent codes and the focus on self- evangelization among the Christians themselves and to encourage them to spread the Gospel in many ways. Interviews with people, who work for church as communication specialists are attached to the diploma thesis. These specialists are often in contact with the outside world. Actual information about...

Afterwards it shows examples how the use of communication tools can change lives of many people. An inspiration is found in the area of business as it is used within the contemporary society.

To the conclusion a short personal testimony is added concerning the role the facebook can play in a life of a Christian. Several possible views are presented here for consideration and at the same time a space is left for personal answers.

From monasteries to men. The significance of monastic architecture and its art in the New Spain of 16th century
Brenišínová, Monika ; Křížová, Markéta (advisor) ; Štěpánek, Pavel (referee) ; Marek, Pavel (referee)
In my dissertation, I inquire into the phenomenon of monastic architecture and its plastic decoration in 16th century New Spain. The aim of this work is to present Mexican monasteries and their artistic significance. In my analysis, I build on the interpretation of monastic architecture from the perspective of early colonial society, I also reflect on the individual level, assessing its impact on the conquest and colonization of America. The methodology of this research project combines analysis of historical (e.g. study of historical sources) and art historical processes (iconological analysis of E. Panofsky) with analysis of anthropological concepts (e.g. rituals of transition of A. van Gennep, thick description of Cl. Geertz, concepts of liminality, structure and communitas of V. Turner). During my PhD studies, I conducted a field trip in Central Mexico (2013), supported by a grant from the Government of Mexico. I visited and documented one hundred and sixteen monasteries and the photographic documentation is the main empirical source of my analysis which further draws from the study of historical sources and academic literature. My research primarily focuses on three aspects: 1. the monastic architecture and art; 2. the role of the monastery in the process of European conquest and colonization...
