Dobeš, Jan ; Šouša, Jiří (advisor) ; Kuklík jun., Jan (referee) ; Kocian, Jiří (referee)
The thesis deals with the circumstances under which the National Assembly in Czechoslovakia was renewed and under which it functioned till 1948. It points to the general development in the years 1945-1948, the constitutional situation in Czechoslovakia, the professional composition of the National Assembly and the legal status of its members. The study also shows how the expectations towards the Parliament changed after the 2nd World War. The thesis explains what a role the parliament played under the circumstances of a so called People's Democracy. After the liberation of Czechoslovakia a special political regime was established. Its merits lied in the institution ofNational Assembly. This assembly comprised of all political parties that had been permitted to function in Czechoslovakia. There was a special feature of this regime - there were no opposition and no coalition in a common political sense. All permitted politi cal parties composed the government. In the light ofthat it makes no sense to talk about a parliamentary majority and minority. The thesis investigates the extent to which these extraordinary circumstances marked the parliamentary activities. It argues that though the Parliament was expected to be a reliable partner of a govemment, a part of deputies did not accept this passive role. They...

Schleiermacher's general hermeneutics and brief outline on its influence on advancement of hermeneutics in 20th century
Hauzrová, Kateřina ; Lyčka, Milan (referee) ; Halík, Tomáš (advisor)
The work is divided into two quite heterogenous parts. First part deals with Schleiermacher's concept of hermeneutics. The character of this part is more likely interpretative. The second part of the work is conceived as brief summary of the basic branches of 20th Century hermeneutics. It should only briefly outline what direction took the Schleiermacher's idea of the creation of general interpretation method. The second part is meant to be only a kind of addition to the first fundamental part. That is the reason why both parts are of different lenght (the first being significantly longer) and why the extend of investigation of each subject is of different intensity (the second being rather superficial). Main part of the work tries to show Schleiermacher's concept of interpretation. According to him the interpretation is not primarily concerned with text but speech. Speech is in his point of view identical with thought, text being only one form of the speech. General hermeneutics should be first of all concerned with search for understanding the other, finding the sense respectively. Further, Schleiermacher tries to show our relation to the world as primarily happening through this speech and what more, the world being shaped by our own speech (thought). Mainly this theoretical philosophical extend of his...

The individual and community in the early novels of George Eliot
Horváth, Juraj ; Procházka, Martin (advisor) ; Beran, Zdeněk (referee)
In my work I focus on George Eliot's 3 early novels: Adam Bede, The Mill on the Floss and Silas Marner. I have analyzed the relations between the individual and community using the pair of concepts Gemeinschaft (community) and Gesellschaft (society). I have not used the concepts to label the stages in the evolutionary progress of mankind, but rather as labels of sets of characteristics. The Gemeinschaft set of values includes the traditional values like keeping one's word, respect to elders, deference to class, family ties etc. The Gesellschaft, on the other hand, is in my reading foremostly defined by self-centredness and egoism. The symptom of these qualities in Eliot's view was a day-dreaming lack of interest in reality. The community awakens the self-centred individuals to a sense of extramental reality and sympathizing moral breadth of vision. In spite of the cruel means this process is brought about, it ultimately makes Eliot's characters more sympathizing, wiser and more humane.

Towards the sources of poetry: theory of the genesis of literary work by Jacques Maritain
Jelínková, Klára ; Vojvodík, Josef (advisor) ; Jiráček, Pavel (referee)
This dissertation deals with the Maritain's art theory from the point of view of its potential contribution to the theory of literature. The contribution is considered to concentrate particularly in the definition of the artistic work as such on the basis of the specific poetic knowledge. Poetic knowledge is a special non-conceptional kind of knowledge, which takes place through emotions, through which the artist by means of his subjectivity portrays some unique aspect of the existence. Maritain's theory of inspiration portrays the artistic work from the very beginning, from the moment the creative intuition is born in the spirit of the artist until the final embodying of this intuition in the given art work. This theory marks also the way of passing the sense of the art work to the spectator. In the first part of the dissertation, wider context of the Maritain's philosophy is presented with particular emphasis on the philosophy of the history and on epistemology - areas, which are closely connected with the Maritain's art theory. Epistemology - because Maritain defines the art particularly by the special way of knowledge, philosophy of the history - particularly in relation to the theory of self-awareness of the poetry. The dissertation is furthermore focused first on the general definition of the fine...

The issues of anorexia nervosa in childhood
ROUBÍKOVÁ, Alice
Anorexia Nervosa is being described as an extreme starving. According to the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, it is a disease caused by an intentional weight loss, when the patient avoids most of the meals and uses other ways to lose his weight, for example induced vomiting, using laxatives, diuretics, excessive physical activity. Anorexia Nervosa means not only a physical illness, mostly a psychological disease. Anorexia Nervosa starts usually in the childhood, when children are at the age of 14-18, but can appear later as well. It is usual when there come some complicated situations and events and the child can?t deal with them. Sources say that the Anti-Anorexia programs are connected with the nursery and the elementary schools, but unfortunately the reality is quite different. All the same, many of the therapies prepared for the treatment of this disease, are not even being used. And I know this due to my own experiences. In this work I have been trying to chart the foreign and the Czech literature, magazines and newspaper, brochures and other internet-sources professional as well as the general, for their authenticity, and of course, most of them were the book sources. I wrote this thesis named ?The Issue of Anorexia Nervosa in Childhood? using a theoretical form of writing, and it shall introduce you to this illness from its beginning, through its symptoms, prevention, treatment to the nursing care, which is very important as well as it is very difficult. It shall also familiarize you with the opinions and the thoughts of the patients themselves. This work is concerned with the issues of Anorexia Nervosa in children. Anorexia Nervosa, as an eating disorder, is still in spite of the mortality numbers an overlooked problem moving the human society all over the world. And yet, it is right the society of the last years contributing on the rise of the numbers of disordered children, who are younger and younger. They find out, with the speed of the world?s progress, that almost everything they want they can have in a little while, and so the girls longing for the extremely thin body happen to become the ?victims? of this disorder without sensing the danger of their drastic methods to reach their ?goal? as quick as possible leading more and more often to the worse ? death. But it is only if their surroundings don?t strike immediately and the children don?t get the medical care and monitoring, or they themselves don?t ty to find the help, which still happens to be the most rare. The causes of this desease are certainly not common for everyone. It depends on the surroundings of the patients, genetic predispositions ? as for the obesity ? and their mental condition. There are many studies discussing the prevention of Anorexia Nervosa, but it is not so certain which influence of today?s society has the greatest part on causing this disease. I suppose this is one of the signs of the deceitfulness of this disease. The main attention is directed to the medical care for the girls affected by the Anorexia Nervosa itself. After the hospitalization there must be the summary of the objectives of the care set, for example reaching and accepting the healthy body weight, changing the patients? self-evaluation, changing their attitude to food and catering, reorganizing their problematic attitude and behaviour in the following life and taking of a responsible approach for solving their own problems. Then the pharmacotherapy is very important for the patients to get either, antidepressants or neuroleptics, or rarely anxiolytics. Some certain sources state the absolute inefficacy of the pharmacies during the treatment for Anorexia Nervosa.

The Social Making of the Illusion of Hospitality
Hajdáková, Iveta ; Abu Ghosh, Yasar (advisor) ; Balon, Jan (referee)
This thesis is based on a research conducted in a luxury restaurant in Prague. It focuses on service work performed by workers in the restaurant, and examines how service work contributes to the production of luxury hospitality. The thesis broadens anthropological and sociological understanding of work. Being focused on service work, it responds to the increasing importance of services in modern economy. Data gathered through participant observation and interviews are analyzed using Pierre Bourdieu's concept of the economy of symbolic goods. The analysis reveals elements of gift exchange that define luxury service. Drawing upon Rachel Sherman's concept of entitlement, it deciphers inequalities between service producers and service consumers, which are produced in the performance of hospitality. The study also focuses on workers' strategies of authority and power that they use in order to make sense of their work and to cope with their subordinated roles.

Visual and narrative aspects of culture and their role in forming of cultural identity
Nechvátalová, Zina ; Soukup, Václav (referee) ; Matějů, Martin (advisor)
In my Thesis I discuss practices of representation through which meanings are produced and through which we can make sense of our experience with outer world and of who we are. According to the Hall's theory of The Circuit of Culture, I state that an individual adjusts to reality by the use of language and the symbolic system of representation. Furthermore I argue that symbolic systems create the possibilities of what we can become. Representation as a cultural process establishes individual and collective identities. Therefore I tried to ask fundamental questions about how individuals fit into the community and the social world; and how identity can be seen as the interface between subjective positions and social/cultural situations. As a leamt (through the process of enculturation) concept, identity gives us an idea of who we are and how we relate to others and to the world in which we live.
