Hate speech in the Czech legal theory and media practice

There are two different approaches to the freedom of expression - the American and European one. The first one is close to the absolute concept of freedom of speech that also covers the hate speech. The second one excludes the hate speech from its protection. The most typical representatives of these two approaches are the U.S. and Germany so I have also paid attention to the legislation of the two countries. As this topic is extremely wide, I chose for the practical part a few cases that are somehow boundary. With the aid of these extremes, I tried to define the limits of freedom of speech. In the next two subsections, I tried to reflect two controversial lawsuits medially, i.e. the Mein Kampf edition and the visit of David Duke in pages of the Lidové noviny, Právo and MF Dnes. The next subsection is devoted to the Internet, beyond the territory of states, so, logically, there is a collision between...

Půbalová, Božena ; Tuček, Milan (advisor) ; Kabele, Jiří (referee)
The thesis deals with the phenomenon of right-wing extremism in the Czech Republic during 2007-2010 which is viewed from the socio-constructivist perspective of the sociological concept of moral panic. The theoretical part focuses on definition of the terms right-wing extremism and moral panic with regard to their evolution and various approaches in social theory and also briefly describes the situation and significant subjects of the Czech extremist right-wing scene in the analyzed period. The analytic part presents media content of four selected aspects and cases of right-wing extremism as published in nationally released newspaper Mladá fronta DNES which is examined in depth using qualitative content analysis. The task of the analysis was to determine to what extent and by which specific ways the representation of these cases in given newspaper fulfills the aspects and processes of an ideal type of moral panic, represented by Klocke and Muschert's hybrid model of moral panics, and how the cases are put in the general framework of constructing the right-wing extremism as a prominent social problem and a moral panic.
