Cyberviolence towards LGBTQ+ people in Czech Republic
Kalousková, Natálie ; Hasmanová Marhánková, Jaroslava (advisor) ; Coufalová, Linda (referee)
This piece of work focuses on cyberviolence against LGBTQ+ adults in the Czech online space. Cyberviolence is overall a new phenomenon, at present mostly examined in relation to children and adolescents. In this work, the author offers insight into the ways queer people use the Internet, the negative events they encounter and the manner in which they manage these experiences. The work builds on the ideas of heteronormative social hegemony and looks for links between this social order and cyberviolence. Using the qualitative method of semi- structured interviews, research was conducted with eight LGBTQ+ participants. The results showed queer people faced grave acts such as threats or extortion as well as homophobic and transphobic microagression. The fact that cyberviolence against adults is often downplayed by the society, but also victims themselves, makes its management all the more complicated. Nevertheless, it is essential to dedicate more attention to this topic in the effort to eliminate heterosexism in society.

Docementary Photography: "Banana Generation"
Pacovský, Tomáš ; Géla, František (advisor) ; Silverio, Robert (referee)
The main goal of this practical bachelor's thesis was to create a photographic documentary about young Czech Vietnamese people who identify as queer or as a part of the LGBTQ+ community. The final photo book is a portrait of one of the community members. Through a variety of traditional as well as alternative participatory documentary methods, this book examines identity and its formation. The theoretical part reflects on the use of these participatory elements, contextualising the author's own usage in the practical section. The thesis will also present some major representatives of the Czech and global photographic scene, such as Wendy Ewald or Pavel Dias, who have used participative methods in their work. The theoretical part of the thesis also defines documentary photography.
