Michalová, Adéla ; Hubáček, Ondřej (advisor) ; Opletalová, Lenka (referee)

The analysis showed that in lifestyle magazines targeted at different groups of readers are differences in the presentation of material and social values and in the presentation of gender roles. Research results are consistent with the assumption that lifestyle magazines have an impact on consumer lifestyles of their readers.

French Communists and Poland in 1956
Kůželová, Michaela ; Vykoukal, Jiří (advisor) ; Perottino, Michel (referee)
The thesis -French Communists and Poland in 1956‖ deals with the relations between the Central European Polish United Workers' Party (PZPR) or Poland and the West European French Communist Party (PCF) in the crisis year of 1956. Whereas the PZPR was a governing party in an Eastern block people's democracy, the PCF was in opposition, strong and influential, though, in a Western country. Analysing their mutual relations in 1956 is not only interesting from the point of view of East-West connections, but chiefly of the different approaches to Khrushchev's policy of destalinisation. Despite party factions vis-{-vis destalinisation, the main difference laid in both parties' leaderships. Whereas the PCF was more or less under the Stalinist Maurice Thorez's control, which prevented Khrushchev's French supporters from influencing their party's politics, in case of the PZPR, the death of Bolesław Bierut in March 1956 made room for larger variety of opinions within the party. That is why the PCF can be labelled as -more Stalinist‖ than the PZPR in 1956. This thesis describes not only the situation of both parties in 1956. It also analyses the images that the parties made about each other and the ways in which these images were spread and how they influenced the relations between them. Keywords French...

Štěpánová, Anna ; Jirák, Jan (advisor) ; Sládková, Hana (referee)
Thesis "Changes in the presentation of teachers in Czech newspapers" explores how teachers have been presented on the pages of Czech newspapers in several phases of Czech history since the "First Czechoslovak Republic". For the purposes of the analysis twelve years and three dates in each year have been chosen. Thesis includes the comparison of the media texts from different years. The narrative analysis has been selected as a method for analysing several prominent Czech newspapers: Národní politika, Národní listy, Rudé Právo, Lidová demokracie, Mf Dnes and Právo. Thesis is divided into three main sections: the first section provides definitions of terms related to the media representation, the second one describes the methods which have been used and the third one is the most important part which contains the analysis. There are changes but also similarities in the media presentation of teachers in the Czech history. The changes occurred mainly in the transitions between these four periods: the First Czechoslovak Republic, Second World War, the period of socialism and the period after 1989.

The Reaction to Soviet Occupation of Czechoslovakia in French Press
Frejtichová, Dominika ; Nejedlý, Martin (advisor) ; Pullmann, Michal (referee)
The subject of this bachelor thesis is the reaction to the Soviet occupation of Czechoslovakia in 1968 in the French press. It describes what the analyzed periodicals focused on the most and how the event was perceived. It also describes how the political and social situation in France, especially the May 1968 protests, shaped the way the press percieved the occupation. The source material consists of three nationwide newspapers that cover a wide range of political opinion: Le Figaro, Le Monde and L'Humanité from July to August 1968. One conclusion is that all three periodicals were unanimous in rejecting the Soviet intervention, however, their opinions varied partially due to their different political orientation. The press was identified with the Czech people and the reform process of the Prague Spring. However, the similarities and comparison between the situation in France in 1968 and the Soviet occupation of Czechoslovakia were not explicitly reflected upon by the journalists. Still, the inner political status of France implicitly played a role in the way the events were interpreted and how much attention it was given. The press has heavily covered not only the intervention itself and the situation in Czechoslovakia, but also foreign reactions to it, because the intervention of the Warsaw...
