Vozábová, Jana ; Stehlíková, Eva (advisor) ; Pšenička, Martin (referee)
In my thesis I describe many kinds of theatrical forms in Bali island - Indonesia. I choose this theme of my diploma paper because in my studies of theater I'm focusing on Balinese dance and drama since four years ago. In academic year 2004/2005 I obtained scholarship of Indonesian government on studies in lSI, Institute of Art in Denpasar, Bali. My field of study was shadow puppets theater and dance drama. After my studies I return there every year to continue my research on Balinese theater and to get better in traditional Balinese dance which I am also teaching in Czech Republic. Three years ago I established civic association Kintari foundation which introduces Indonesian art and culture in Czech Republic and helps on humanitarian projects in Indonesia as well. My thesis is divided into three main parts: Puppet theater, Dance theater and Theater between puppets and dance art. There is also Balinese dividing of theater according to hindu religion which is the main indicator of Balinese theater. These groups are: wali, bebali and balih-balihan. The relegation to these groups depends on how important is a given kind of theatrical form for hindu religion. Wali are the holiest kinds of theater and dance, bebali are still connected to religious ceremonies and balih-balihan are just spectacular case. Theater...

Cultural diversity and Taoism
Bártík, Robert ; Matějů, Martin (referee) ; Ortová, Jitka (advisor)
The presented study focuses on themes related to the problem of cultural diversity and plurality. The fact that every culture that developed over the course of history lives in the horizon of a completely specific world (a horizon and a context of appearance) implies the question of whether different cultures can mutually understand each other (which is related to the opportunities for mutual translatability of each other's languages and the structures) as well as questions related to the universality of a certain understanding of reality and it's dominant position as a worldview, which is spontaneously demanded by the scientific/technical paradigm of the Euro-Atlantic civilizational range. Today, this problem is reflected from various different positions. From the perspective of ecological crisis, we find it in conceptions of lasting maintainability; from perspective of philosophical reflection, we find it in the project of intercultural philosophy. For a concrete "demonstration" of cultural diversity and plurality, we opted to use the philosophical/religious system of Taoism because we thought that it was "different" enough to be a representative perspective for this study.

The aim of the present thesis is to cover the issue of deafness from historical perspective, analyze the mutual relationship between hearing and deaf society and to bring to explanation the sociocultural specifics of the deaf in the Czech republic. The thesis views the issue of the deaf from the point of holistic cross-field perspective which takes account of findings from sociology, cultural anthropology, linguistics, psychology and pedagogy. The first chapter deals with hearing impairment from the medical point of view; we take a brief account on the etiology of hearing impairment and consider the effects of hearing loss on the ontogeny of the individual. In the second chapter we center on the issue of deafness as a subject of pedagogy, linguistics and sociology and their complementary themes: deaf education, sign language and socialization and enculturation of the deaf; the fourth part of the chapter synthesizes the findings of the fields mentioned into three hypothetical models of deafness - medical, social-integrating and cultural - and brings them into comparison. The third chapter concerns about social attitudes toward deafness in the course of history, we consider the philosophical roots of particular concepts of deafness and draw attention to the milestones in deaf history.

Krylová, Irma ; Marek, Jan (referee) ; Kropáček, Luboš (advisor)
This thesis is about the current situation and dilemma of Pakistani immigration in Great Britain. It started in the 1950's but it didn't become a relevant political question until the 1980's, because of minorities' growing requirements. Due to the differences in habits, culture and religion from the British lifestyle, it creates anxiety and disatisfaction in the society. This thesis is focused mainly on communuty identity. It considers the changing lifestyle of three generations. For muslims, Islam is everything and it pervades their entire lives. The first part of this thesis is rather theoretical and introduces several different model s of integration and immigration. Great Britain represents a bifurcationist model, in which immigrants are supposed to respect english institutions and culture, but still may follow their tradidtions in their private lives. The second part is focused on education, employment and religious life, which is specific and rich, because it reflects movements and trends coming from Pakistan. Emphasis is given mainly to the requirements specifically related to religion which conflicts with british and western society. In the third part, negative trends are discussed which Pakistani are faced with in their daily existence. This is not only physical violence and islamophobic offences...
