Development of Women's Representation in the Parliament of the Czech Republic
Flašková, Jana ; Němec, Jan (advisor) ; Školkayová, Marta (referee)
The under-representation of women in national politics has been mentioned for many years either by certain individuals or periodical short-term political campaigns. While there is evidence to suggest that more women are now being elected to local and national politics, without a doubt women continue to face barriers to their entry and their subsequent progression. In this thesis, I focused on elements of existing equal opportunities policies (e.g. bureaucratic, civil society and electoral systems) and their efforts towards the greater participation of women in politics; at the same time identifying the sources, characteristics and the weaknesses in the system. The conclusion of the thesis provides the basis from which I have made certain recommendations concerning the possible changes and future strategies in this field.

Development of gender´s policy in the area of Evropean Union and its prediction
SEDLÁKOVÁ, Magdalena
Gender equality is a very important social value, which has a long-lasting tradition in European Union and it is a necessary condition for the achievement of its goals. This thesis deals with the topic of women representation in politics, particularly in European Parliament and national parliaments in European Union. The fact that women have found their way into European Parliament is evident. In 1979 only 17% of all parliament members were women and nowadays they represent more than one third of all members of the Parliament ? 35%. The representation of women in national parliaments is lower than in European Parliament and it differs in particular countries. In 2000 the representation of women in national politics reached 18,3 %. Throughout various periods no decline has been registered and in 2010 the representation of women in national politics reached 23,6 %. The comparison of the development of the representation of women in politics according to the state systems is interesting. Concerning national parliaments, the best results have been achieved in European kingdoms. The optional partial quotas are employed to increase the representation of women in politics within the frame of European Union. The long-term goals have been set to indicate further development and criteria that should have been achieved. The present idea is to reach at least 25% representation of women in national parliaments in all member states.

The role of the beholder in ekphrasis
Fedrová, Stanislava
The status of the beholder, whether through the physical process of looking or his existential experience, is a principal formative element in ekphrastic texts. This study defines three possible approaches: in the first the beholder is like a character in a fictional world and at the same time a visual representation. This character is part of the story, so this version of ekphrasis is formed by the role played in the story. The second type is the character as a mediator of the world of visual experience. As the viewer sinks into the depths of the image by means of a Rückenfigur which has already entered it, this beholder is a mediator in ekphrasis, thanks to whom the reader acquires the perspective of a joint beholder. The third type, the beholder as interpreter, points to the basic techniques for the formation of ekphrasis: correlativization with another visual representation or pictorial model, the grounding of the narrative plain and associative play with the form of the observed.
