Edward Bond: The Sea
Błaszczyk, Dominika ; ZBOŘILOVÁ, Jana (advisor) ; VOHLÍDALOVÁ, Ivana (referee)
In the first chapter of my master's thesis, I consider the life and works of Edward Bond. However, rather than approach this topic from a purely chronological perspective, I consider Bond's unique artistic activity and place it in its critical and historical context. My research emphasizes the significance of Bond's artistic activity in the successful fight against censorship in British theatre.
My second chapter explores the idea of 'cool drama.' In this section I utilize commentary from preeminent dramatists in the 1990s who spoke about Bond's pervading cultural influence. I also outline my own views on 'brutal drama' and consider its influence.
The third chapter of my work focuses on Bond's 1973 drama 'The Sea,' including the origins of the text, its historical context, and the main dramatic problems of the work. Here I also delve into a summary and analysis of the text, not only from a historical perspective, but also according to my own interpretive analysis. This chapter further contains a cataloging of international productions of 'The Sea', as well as original theoretical analysis of two performances produced in the Czech Republic. I examine and contrast these two productions from the perspective of direction, space, and costume design.
In chapter four, I present the practical part of my work while laying out and defending the intellectual and creative concepts behind it. This chapter is divided into several sections. In section A, I present my key interpretive themes, meticulously analyzing the issues and illuminating the way in which they are reflected in my work. I also present the historical background and analysis of my main ideas.
I continue in chapter four with a presentation of the sources that were essential influences for the visual elements of my work. I follow with a detailed description of how these sources served as particular artistic solutions in my creative process. I closely analyze their particular dramatic characters, their development and their interactions. I describe the costumes and carefully outline their concrete qualities, such as their materials, colors, silhouettes, movement, and historical elements, all of which are supported with visual attachments. Following this, I consider the search for space of dramatic quality, as well as the overall perception and treatment of particular scenes. I explain each dramatic situation and support it with photographs.
The introduction and conclusion contain the opening and final thesis, and I provide an overarching reflection of the work's quality and importance. I conclude the work with a message of gratitude to those who supported me during this project, as well as a list of my research sources.

The issue of juvenile criminal justice
Vančurová, Lenka ; Jelínek, Jiří (advisor) ; Vanduchová, Marie (referee)
of the thesis This thesis describes some of the problems that criminal law and criminal justice over children and teens has to challenge. All the problems come from the fact that childhood and adolescence are special periods of time with characteristics that are very different from those of adulthood. Among the other ones, the susceptibility is especially accented, pointing out that children and teens rather easily, in contrast to adults, fall for criminal career. Criminal law generally does not offer applicable rules for concerned age groups due to the fact that legislator is aware of the issue as well as the necessity of a special legislation for juvenils only. In the first chapter, there is a basic description of problems. One of the main problems criminal law and justice over youth have is a need for special responsibility conditions, as general law is too severe towards youth. Second problem is the problem of labelling (or stigmatization) that occurs frequently as a consequence of a criminal action. Another thing is that family often fails its nurturant duty to children and teens. Then the government must assume responsibility for education and care of them. The challenge here is - how much respect to family should be taken before intervention is necessary and of what intensity can the...
