Houha, Libor ; Storchová, Lucie (advisor) ; Ducháček, Milan (referee)
In my Master's degree thesis I'm dealing with the phenomenon of role-playing games in the Czech republic in the first half of the 1990s. Role-playing games came to the Czech republic in the form of a game called "Draci doupe" with an active community of players being established immediately. The main aims of this study are analysis and contextualisation of subculture of these players in the first half of the nineties and also publisher "Altar", who released "Draci doupe" at the end of the year 1990. "Draci doupe" and commercialization were inherently bound together. In my thesis I'm dealing with the description of development of publisher "Altar" with regard to his commercial strategy and influence on the subculture of role-playing game players. The rest of the study is dedicated to the community of players with the focus on development, form and spreading through fanzines (non-professional and non- official publication produced by community of players), magazines and community conventions (called "cons"). Struggles in the community of players regarding commercionalization of this leisure activity are analysed further in the study. These struggles led to degradation of the whole community of players. The view of public is added to the thesis to complete the whole picture of analysis of subculture...

The altar in the Czech Art Nouveau
Cachová, Tereza ; Wittlich, Petr (advisor) ; Prahl, Roman (referee)
This thesis is dedicated to the manifestations of Art Nouveau in the altar production of the Czech woodcarver Jan Kastner and the integration of an altar in the Art Nouveau style into the context of a contemporary church interior. The first chapter deals with J. Kastner's personality and his work and plans including his exhibits presented in the world exhibitions, mainly as related to his altar production. Kastner's altars are in the Art Nouveau or pseudo- Gothic style, but some combine in a specific way elements of the Art Nouveau with the late pseudo-Gothic style. The second chapter presents three examples of churches with three main altars (created in different variants of the Art Nouveau) and a corresponding interior in the Art Nouveau style. The three churches are: the Elevation of the Holy Cross Church in Jablonec nad Nisou by Josef Zasche, the church of Saint Cyril and Metoděj in Kroměříž by Hubert Gessner and the Monument of Peace in Prace near Brno by Josef Fanta. The last chapter is an attempt to set up criteria for defining a sacral work of art as one in the Art Nouveau style. The supplement summarizes the historical development of the Christian altar.
