Power through humour: Thomas King's strategies for decolonizing Canada
Tuček, Jaroslav ; Jindra, Miroslav (referee) ; Kolinská, Klára (advisor)
This dissertation is about power, humour and various comic and ironic strategies contemporary Native writers and artists apply in their works to challenge the outdated Indian stereotypes and obsolete systems of cultural and aesthetic representation. The artists employ a combination of comedy and irony as favoured modes of expression in order to contest, subvert and critically deconstruct the oppressive hegemonic ideologies and power structures still present in Canada and the United States. Their novels, poetry, essays, films, documentaries, theatre performances, paintings and other works of art strive to emphasize the marginalization and rights of all Native people in North America who have suffered over the hundreds of years of colonization, acculturation and violent cultural appropriation. In the last decade, there have been growing calls from academia, Native communities as well as the government, to reconceptualise the bi-cultural politics between the First Nation peoples and the Canadian nation-state. A great amount of models for an inclusionary and multifaceted identity politics have been proposed by several Canadian cultural analysts and critics, including for example Diana Brydon, Smaro Kamboureli, and Lily Cho. However, before they can be successfully implemented, a creation of an alternative space...

Cultural aspects of tourism
Neufus, Josef ; Matějů, Martin (referee) ; Hubáček, Ondřej (advisor)
We can resume, in general, that cultural exposures of human beings are attractive enough for tourists and the tourism is a cultural exposure itself. Tourists experience is usually as rich as high is the compliance to evolve any effort to try to understand cultural values of the hosting destination. Or at least to learn as much as possible about cu Itural exposures and products of a respective destination. Every country, region or site attempting at development of tourism has to pian and arrange for such an infrastructure, that enables visitors to get learn the widest possible amount of cultural exposures of a respective destination. Understanding and acceptance of those aspects from tourists - visitors requires multilingual presentation Le. guides, sign-posts, brochures, collaterial material. Also providers of tourism services have to bear in mind the necesity of knowledge about one's own culture and a foreign language competence to present it and explain. An important presumption of pleased tourists is knowledge and understanding principles of one's own cultural background by hosts themselves Le. hosting community, providers of services in tourism and goverment or respective authority of the country or tourism destination.

Then Conditions int the Czech Republic call for an individual aproach that might be of interes for small historic cities and villages and their micro-regions.

Building Cultural Centre
Roubalová, Dagmar ; ČUŘÍKOVÁ, Tamara (advisor) ; HRBEK, Daniel (referee)
Cultural center or cultural house as a building can be found in almost every Czech village. Their operation seems simple, but in practice it looks that like a very complicated question. After 1989 the network of cultural centers was canceled and currently there is no database that would tell the actual list of cultural buildings in the Czech Republic, who are of existing and functioning. Also, now there are rarely built, but very often rebuilt those buildings of cultural centers. These buildings have specific rules, regulations and standards, which are done by the law, its design should be also based on the needs of current and future users, both operators and visitors. Master's thesis summarizes the general and specific requirements that must be taken in building a cultural center and presents a case study on building a concrete cultural center in the suburb of Prague. The main impulse for writing this work is the belief that more attention should be given to this issue. The cultural center as a multifunctional space offering a wider range of programs available to all the population is the first and closest point of contact with the culture of everybody of us. It affects overall relationship to cultural values and is also a place where everyone will have these values to guarantee equal and free access.

Emancipation movement of the Czech workers in Louny region in 1868-1938. Contribution to the problem of research of cultural life of lower classes of the society
Matyáš, Jiří ; Štaif, Jiří (referee) ; Lacina, Vlastislav (referee)
Předkládaná rigorózní práce Je částečně přepracovanou diplomovou prací Spolkový, kulturní a politický život českého dělnictva na Lounsku v letech 1868 - 1938, kterou jsem úspěšně obhájil na Ústavu hospodářských a sociálních dějin FF UK v Praze v roce 2003.1 Rigorózní práce se zabývá kulturním vývojem dělnictva na Lounsku v letech 1868- 1938 a její těžiště leží ve výzkumu spolkového života českého dělnictva. Svou práci chápu především jako příspěvek ke sledování emancipačních tendencí dolních vrstev společnosti (pojmy "dělnictvo" a "dolní vrstvy společnosti" v názvu práce ještě dále upřesním, níže - v podkapitole II.3. - bude rozvedeno, které skupiny obyvatel jsou konkrétně pod poJmem dělnictvo myšleny ve specifických podmínkách lounského okresu). Emancipační hnutí se ovšem nedotýká jen kultury, ale přirozeně také politiky, rovněž je nutné si alespoň v základech všímat různých ideových názorů a ideového vývoje dělníků a dolních vrstev vůbec. Ideový vývoj dělnictva však nebude stěžejním tématem této práce, neboť se chci z větší části odlišit od toho způsobu výzkumu dolních vrstev, který byl pro dřívější historiografii z větší části charakteristický - od důrazu na popis hospodářských a sociálních bojů a vývoje politických institucí dělnictva. Naopak je mi sympatičtější ta část tradice české historiografie...
