Tillmanová, Hana ; Ottlová, Marta (advisor) ; Jakubcová, Alena (referee)
This BA thesis paints a portrait of one of the most interesting Vinohrady arenas, a permanent variety theatre founded by Italian theatre entre- preneur Eugenio Averino in 1875. The work partially departs from scarce entries in extant scholarship but mostly relies on independent source research, focused on a detailled study of the advertising and reportage tra- ced within contemporary periodicals and surviving theatre posters and programmes. The goal of the work is to provide as precise facts as possible concerning the theatre itself, its programme and the people performing in it and participating in its activity, with emphasis on a detailled differentiation of the individual stages of the theatre's development and with consideration for the theatre's position within Prague's cultural life.

Erben, Jakub ; Buriánek, Jiří (advisor) ; Sládek, Jan (referee)
This thesis deals with the lifestyle and relationships among professional ballet dancers. Previous studies that have focused on this group, have not focused on the lifestyle as a complex phenomenon, the goal is therefore to supplement existing knowledge in this matter. Given the recent research coverage problem, the work uses explorative approach to the conceptual level based on the concepts of lifestyle and subculture and it uses methodologically a qualitative approach. In particular, the conceptual basis in the form of subculture largely determines the orientation, the process and the structure of the paper. It figures as a tool that allows us to organize a view of professional ballet dancers, and at the same time during the work the suitability of its application to this group is empirically validated. A view on professional dancers is also structured with biographical perspectives on the assumption that the form of life in this group is largely determined by the element of time. After defining the concepts related to ballet and introducing the factual account of events enabling to look into the historical and institutional context in which the Czech ballet dancers act, followed by a description logic of its study in this paper, including basic concepts of introducing subculture and lifestyle,...
