The effect of narration and graphic notation method in learning piano works.
Tosun, Cemre Deniz ; Agopian, Vartan (advisor) ; Saláková, Magdalena (referee)
In piano instruction, new methods and strategies are intended to improve performance and accelerate up the learning process. The observation that there are some challenges in learning an instrument, given the polyphonic structure of the piano instrument, the simultaneous vocalization of both hands, and the reading of two different keys, is what led to the development of these approaches and methodologies. The aim of the thesis investigates the effect of graphic and narrative methods on students while learning piano works. In this study, rather than perceiving music auditorily, the questions of how we can transfer it to students in order to provide multiple perception with a visual and story-based study are investigated. In addition, this study is important for future experimental research. KEY WORDS Piano methods, teaching piano, graphic, narrative, musical reading, analysis of piano notes.

Film Adaptation of Literary Work in Theory and Practice
JEŽKOVÁ, Simona
In this bachelor's thesis, we will deal with the issue of a film adaptation of literary works in theory and practice. The work is divided into two significant parts. In the first part, we focus on the term of adaptation, which is an important process in the artistic environment, but also in the evolution one. Furthermore, we briefly present the history and development of film adaptations and deal with the finding of leading literary and film critics and theorists in the field of adaptation studies. In the second part, which is conducted as practical, we will introduce some basic literary and film techniques and their subsequent use in individual works of art. The books Milenci a vrazi [Lovers and Murderers] (1968) by Vladimír Páral, Misery (1987) by Stephen King, Heroic Measures (2009) by Jill Ciment and The Orchid Thief (1998) by Susan Orleans became the subject of research. All the works were adapted to the film screen at least once at a certain time. Literary works and their film adaptations were selected on the basis of significant differences in the use of narrative, ie. verbal and visual means.

The Prose Marie by Alexandr Kliment and Its Film Adaptation by Václav Vorlíček
HLAVÁČKOVÁ, Eliška
This bachelor thesis deals with analyzing the novella Marie from 1960, which was written by the Czech prosaic Alexandr Kliment, and comparing the book to the identically named film adaptation, which was directed by Václav Vorlíček in 1964. The main focus is put on describing both narratives - mainly in the scope of the story, and characters; giving attention to the aspect of the narrator, events, and settings as well. Through the means of the analysis of each of the categories and their subsequent comparison between both narratives, this thesis aims to discover, whether the story was modified in order to better serve the audiovisual media, and if it was, then how each media influenced the interpretation of the story itself.

NATO and the EU's strategic communication's cohesion from the perspective of the ritual model
Dušková, Lenka ; Karásek, Tomáš (advisor) ; Kučera, Tomáš (referee)
At the core of this master thesis lies the cohesion of NATO and the EU's strategic communication. The cohesion is researched in the context of both institutions' reactions to hybrid threats from quantitative and qualitative points of view. The thesis observes communication's cohesion within the realm of NATO and the EU's responses to the annexation of Crimea and subsequent war in Ukraine, the Skripals' poisoning, and the instrumentalization of migration by the Belarusian regime. What precedes the empirical part is a summary of current academic debates about the concept of strategic communication and also the description of NATO and the EU's communication systems. The analysis then builds on the extensive dataset of NATO and the EU's event-related messages. The intrainstitutional and interinstitutional cohesion is assessed based on the frequencies and timing of the messages in the above- mentioned cases. The subsequent qualitative analysis draws on Carey's proposed ritual view of communication. It further analyzes whether the content of NATO and the EU's strategic communication reflects their core values, threat perception, narratives about expected appropriate behavior, visioning, and whether it refers to the common historical experience, stimulates a shared view of reality, and explicitly...

Propaganda as a form of communication strategy: cinematography in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia
Gerstnerová, Dominika ; Bednařík, Petr (advisor) ; Halada, Jan (referee)
During the 20th century, film became a social phenomenon. Because of this reason it did not take long and also politicians started to use the film industry to influence public opinion. Above all, the history of totalitarian regimes proves that films have served them as a very powerful tool for fulfilling their propaganda goals. This diploma thesis deals with Nazi film propaganda during the Second World War, specifically the influence of Nazi propaganda on Czech feature film in the occupied Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia. Because of the fact that Nazi ideology was based on tense nationalism and racial purity which required a broad base for its support and maintenance of power, propaganda was of great importance The aim of this work is thus to find and define Nazi propaganda communication goals in Czech feature film and to identify specific tactics through which these goals should be fulfilled. The basis for researching this issue are the films Kristián (1939), Tulák Macoun (1939), Pro kamaráda (1940), Těžký život dobrodruha (1941), Jan Cimbura (1941) and Prstýnek (1944), which cover various genres and topics and at the same time cover different protectorate periods. The topic of propaganda is viewed in the context of strategic communication as related and in today's scale also superior...

The Boook of Ruth: Narrative Analysis of the Text
Kreutziger, Kamil ; Beneš, Jiří (advisor) ; Roubalová, Marie (referee)
The conclusion of this thesis brings an understanding of the deeper meaning of the book of Ruth and its role in the lives of God's followers. The application of the tools of narrative analysis clearly showed that on the background of Naomi and Ruth's deeply human story unfolds another one. It is the story of the Lord who is invisibly directing events and human destinies to present and reveal the work and mission of his Messiah to the whole mankind. The main characters in the story provide an eloquent example of faith to follow and in a very plastic way imply the role of the Redeemer. Thus the story builds up faith of people in the Lord and prepares them to recognize and accept his Messiah. And this may be the mission and function of the book of Ruth in the biblical canon.
