Smolová, Tereza ; Nový, Jindřich (referee) ; Štěpán, Marek (advisor)
The assignment of this diploma thesis is the proposal of the Christian sacral centre as an extension of a current site of pilgrimage. Site is situated near Napajedelská brána by Zlin. Proposal is based on previous analysis of the regions of Valašsko and Haná. One of the most serious problems is a lack of spiritual and liturgical sites in the area of Zlín. The analysis and synthesis preceding this diploma thesis are enclosed. The analysis of sites of pilgrimage in the area of Zlín was one of the studied subjects. The assignment of the diploma thesis was created using a combination of discovered data – design of the site of pilgrimage including a church and spiritual centre. This thesis deals with the design of a church as a site of pilgrimage, facilities, accomodation for clergymen and pilgrims. The composition is based on three main objects – church, entrance house and accomodation. The composition is complemented by campanile and „baptistery“. An object itself has two above-ground floors and basement with spa. Some of the spaces in the building have to be functionally separated due to different approach of visitors. Part of the building is a garden which is ideologically and functionally inspired by monastery claustrum.

Scholzová, Simona ; Nový, Jindřich (referee) ; Štěpán, Marek (advisor)
The topic of the thesis is the proposal of a pilgrimage site in the area of the source of the spring Svatá Voda near Malenovice - Zlín. The building is located on the nearest top site near the existing spring and it dominates its surroundings. The design is based on a circle symbolizing eternity, harmony - Christianity surrounding the Paradise yard. This ring is intersected by four shards that represent disruption of harmony - humanity. These two types of masses are contrasting, distinguished by both shape and material. There is a church in the largest shard, in the smaller shards there are other smaller chapel or individual prayer rooms. In the ring, which is broken into fragments, there are located rooms like a reception, area of the church with, restaurant and technical facilities, non-profit offices that manage the area, together with a therapist's office. There are rooms with accommodation, classrooms and workshops for retreats as well.

The become of pilgrim: Pilgimage as a proces of the construction of pilgim body
Picková, Tereza ; Spalová, Barbora (advisor) ; Kotyk, Lukáš (referee)
This work focuses on analysis of Europe's most massive pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela, which I use as a case study to show how contemporary pilgrims understand their experience. Through the analysis of interviews with 9 other pilgrims and my own auto- ethnographic diary with a strong dose of reflexivity I want to show that pilgrimage can be understood as a process of constructing a pilgrim body. To gain such form of habitus, or in other words "to become a pilgrim", is achieved through several different strategies, such as walking, socialising, solitude, separation (from everyday life), asceticism, and others. This experience results in a form of gained habitus, or a technique of the body (Mauss 1968) which can be learnt and used in everyday life after the pilgrimage ends. Pilgrim body is then a complex skill, consisting of physical, psychical, spiritual and social dimension, each describing different aspect of the pilgrimage itself, all embodied in the physical body of a pilgrim. Through such approach I want to show, that we might understand pilgrimage as a form of physical experience with transcendental overlap, focused mainly on individual progress, but constructed together in friendly communitas of pilgrims, described by Victor Turner in his classic study (Turner 2004). Usage of these...

A pilgrimage through the hard times through the eyes of K.Tučková and O.Tokarczuk.
KREJČIŘÍKOVÁ, Jindra
This diploma thesis attempts to capture the importance of the literature of fiction as a phenomenon necessary for the understanding of today's world. It points to the contribution of Kateřina Tučková's and Olga Tokarczuk's writings, which can help readers to relate historical events to today's reality. Whether it is the book "Vyhnání Gerty Schnirch", which deals with the expulsion of German inhabitants from the Czechoslovakia after the Second World War, or the story of the goddess of Kopanice in the times of the communist regime in the book "Žítkovské bohyně". The book "Knihy Jakubovy" by Olga Tokarzcuk tells us the fate of the self-proclaimed Jewish messiah Jakub Frank and his followers in 18th century Poland. Further, this diploma thesis deals with the world of literature and readers of our time and the possibilities that the world of books can bring to us and our children in today's over-technological time.

Theme "water" in legends of pilgrimage places
BENEŠOVÁ, Marie
The thesis deals with the issues of selected pilgrimage places of the České Budějovice diocese, such as Dobrá Voda near České Budějovice and Dobrá Voda near Nové Hrady. It sees the phenomenon of pilgrimage and the symbolism of water in Sacred Scripture and in Christianity itself. It distinguishes between normative and living religions, with a focus on the person of the Virgin Mary. The private revelation of God's mother was associated with the discovery of a spring of healing water. The work follows the emergence and development of selected pilgrimage places, it also deals with contemporary spiritual life in both places.

The Pilgrimage to Velehrad and its significance during the Modern Era of Czech History
Valentová, Anežka ; Maslowski, Nicolas (advisor) ; Marková, Alena (referee)
The Pilgrimage to Velehrad and its significance during the Modern Era of Czech History The purpose of my thesis is to introduce pilgrimage as a phenomenon that can expose various discourses; strengthening and framing collective identity and manifesting various interest groups in the foreground of changeable historical contexts. To explain this religious tradition, I am using a concept of so called, 'social drama': Pilgrimage has a cohesive function as well as being a platform for social and political expression. With the help of archival sources, I focus on the pilgrimage to Velehrad in the period between the second half of the 19th Century and the latter period of the 20th. In the era of the Habsburg monarchy, we can see in Velehrad especially, a realization of the official state and church discourse in competition with nationally motivated tendencies for manifestation. During the First Czechoslovak Republic these events are used to present a newly Catholically based national identity under the influence of state and church. In the Communist era interest groups expressed their orientation against the state, but tendencies to manifest the ideology of the regime persisted unerringly in the background.
