Can Club Model Explain the Rise of the Islamic State?
Matoulková, Kristýna ; Cingl, Lubomír (advisor) ; Korbel, Václav (referee)
The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant has become a major threat of the con- temporary period. It is therefore important to find the efficient way how to fight this group successfully. Besides political, social and psychological approaches to the counter-terrorism topic, there is also the club model in economics of reli- gion that can surprisingly well model behaviour of radical extremist units and that proposes implications for counter-terrorism policy. It implies that terrorist organizations that provide social services can function as clubs. They introduce prohibitions such as dress code to ensure active participation and use sacrifices to screen out free-riders. Both of these practices make these groups unusually successful. This thesis has two main goals. Firstly, we show that ISIL has all the necessary attributes to fit into the club model framework, which we confirm by suggestive evidence that this organization uses escalated violence to select loyal members. Secondly, based on the club logic, we claim that efficient pol- icy measures to fight ISIL should be focused on improving provisions of public goods in Syria and Iraq, creating better paid jobs and encouraging education.

The victimization of women by men - "hunters" and "consumers" - in Margaret Atwood's novels The Edible Woman and Surfacing
Skřivanová, Martina ; Kolinská, Klára (advisor) ; Jindra, Miroslav (referee)
The thesis deals with the early works of the Canadian writer Margaret Atwood - novels The Edible Woman (1969) and Surfacing (1972). The thesis focuses on victimization and objectification of the female characters through photography and consumption. The two topics are crucial for the two "body" chapters of the thesis. The first chapter deals with Susan Sontag's and Roland Barthes' theory of photography, and applies it to both novels. With the help of a camera, the man takes control over the woman. Similarly to a gun, it is a device with a release one can easily press to overpower its subject and turn it into a trophy - an object in its unalterable position one can manipulate with easily. Therefore, the thesis also explores the parallels between female and animal victims and hunting. Roland Barthes in his Camera Lucida (1980) analyses posing in front of the photographer. He is convinced that at the moment of picture taking the person waiting for the pull of the trigger transforms themselves into an object and thus loses their real self - with this version of the portrayed person, the photographer can manipulate according to his will. The gaze of the camera is unscrupulous and predatory; the thesis elaborates on it by the feminist theory of Laura Mulvey, who in her anthology Visual and Other...
