Water Politics
Dvořáková, Dana ; Vojtěchovský, Miloš (referee) ; Sterec, Pavel (advisor)
The work is aimed at familiarizing the audience with the problems of water in the Czech Republic and its distribution within the landscape. However, its character, which approaches to documentary work, doesn´t explicitly describe the problem, but rather attempts to visualize it and give the viewer space for his own imagination. The work draws in contrast the examples of fine functional interventions in the landscape with examples of monstrous concrete structures - dams. It points to problematic places and tries to convey to the viewer the current issue not only in the chosen location. The main thing is the lyrical performance, which evokes not only a video but also the sound part and the narrative that explains the whole problem. The video is not purely informative, its specificity is also focused on the enjoyment of the viewer. He plays with documentary techniques but does not use them as a priority. The shots are deliberately chosen so that the concrete buildings look monumental and have their seriousness. The background of the shots also shows the time of their creation. This element is supposed to be critical and is supposed to be opposed to studies that use old plans to build new water reservoirs that do not give space for a more efficient solution. The work also touches on the overproduction and issues of today's modern agriculture.

Conceptualization of Music in the Lyrics by Jiří Suchý
Císlerová, Anna ; Vaňková, Irena (advisor) ; Lehečková, Eva (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with conceptualization of music in the lyrics by Jiří Suchý in the context of conceptualization of music in the Czech language. The thesis employs the methods of cognitive linguistics, mainly the linguistic view of the world and the conceptual metaphor theory. The goal of this thesis is to reconstruct the linguistic view of music and to identify conceptual metaphors that are used in the language material. The sources of the language data are firstly monolingual, phraseological and other dictionaries of the Czech language and secondly lyrics by Jiří Suchý. The research has shown that the conceptualizations of music based on the dictionary material occur also in the lyrics. However, the lyrics include more types of conceptualizations than can be found in the data from dictionaries. From this material it is also not possible to define, for example, the connotations of the word blues - the connotations were only found by looking at the lyrics. As the greatest contribution of this thesis we consider the discovery of parallel conceptual metaphors of music and language.
