Liminal phase of ritual according to V. Turner
Vávra, Antonín ; Gebelt, Jiří (advisor) ; Kostičová, Zuzana (referee)
1 Summary In my work "Liminal phase of ritual according to V. Turner" I presented Turner's approach to religion and rituals. I tried to show how his life's work has evolved and how far there before Victor Turner died. During his lifetime he deloped his own approach to rituals, which emphasized its procedural structure. For his contributions received great admiration in terms of its analysis, research of pilgrimage, medical anthropology or popular studies. Although his ideas were presented fairly well, they were scattered in many essays. Turner cannot be applauded as a great systematizer. However despite criticsm that he received, so clearly the most valuable contribution remains conceptual apparatus that created, ritual analysis and research of Ndembu.

Israeli Folk Dance:History and Presence with a Particular Focus on Dancing in the Czech Republic
Šilarová, Anežka ; Stavělová, Daniela (advisor) ; Korecká, Zuzana (referee)
This thesis intends to introduce Israeli folk dance from a number of different perspectives.

Special attention is given to the problematic labeling of Israeli folk dance as "folk". The second part of the thesis is based on the author's own field work and describes the ways Israeli folk dances are practiced in the Czech environment. Whereas in Israel these dances are mostly connected with demonstration of Israeli identity, they get different meanings in the Czech environment. Firstly the author attempted to reconstruct the history of spreading of Israeli folk dances in the Czech environment and to map the different groups involved in these dances. Collection of these facts can be further used as an information source for all researchers wishing to conduct studies on Israeli folk dances in the Czech Republic in the future. Secondly the author concentrated on the ways of practicing Israeli folk dances in a Prague group called Besamim. Based on participant observation and interviews with the dancers the author attempted to illustrate the significance of these dances in the lives of people, who practice them...
