Honour, Insult, Slander, Libel and Investigative Journalism
Šatánková, Radana ; Matějek, Jaromír (advisor) ; Štica, Petr (referee)
This interdisciplinary thesis deals with the area of investigative journalism and ethics. In the context of our time it offers a look at what kind of information a citizen has the right to obtain and what kind of the published information violates the moral rights of the individual. The work depicts the professional and ethical requirements placed on workers in the media to indicate the boundaries between "investigative journalism" and the pursuit of sensation. I draw upon the core material of the Syndicate of Journalists of the Czech Republic, the ethical codes of our public and private media and the books of experts in the field of media studies and ethics.

Rad (The order). Revue for culture and life (1932-1944)
Esserová, Jitka ; Wiendl, Jan (advisor) ; Holý, Jiří (referee)
The thesis Rad [The Order] / Revue for Culture and Life (1932-1944) examines the eponymous magazine which was published by catholic-oriented intellectuals in the era of revolutionary changes in our history. The atmosphere of that time served us as a background for the analysis of the magazine's development from the sociophilosophical to the literary-and-art periodical. We examine the attitudes of catholic intellectuals to the thorniest questions of their time, often shaped by the official positions of the Catholic Church, by foreign philosophical and religious movements, or by the Catholic circles of the then literary life in the CSR. The paper includes the complete article bibliography, the authors' name index and the cipher index.

Memory of Romany victims of the holocaust - detection camp in Lety u Písku and its afterwar history
Pařízková, Jindra ; Červenka, Jan (referee) ; Závodská, Milada (advisor)
This thesis portrays a connection of some well known facts on the Roma holocaust, the communist policy of assimilation, the situation of the Roma in contemporary society and the Roma ethnic and emancipatory efforts with the post war history of the former concentration camp in Lety near Pisek (Lety u Pisku), meant for entire Roma families. It maps the availability of information on the persecution of Romas during the Second World War by both governmental figures as well as by society and the impact of the insufficient distribution, publishing and non availability of these facts which are a trend continuing till today. The past regime allowed the construction of pig sties next to (and partly on) land that during the Second World War was the area of a so called "gipsy camp", in which almost 300 people, half of whom were children died, as a result of inhumane treatment and extreme living conditions. The governments of the post communist era did not address the issue until it became a scandal shaming the entire democratic world. Ten years have passed since the government made its rhetorical pledges to right a wrong and remove the pork feeding and production unit off a site that should have been a place of piety and remembrance for the Roma victims of the holocaust and not much has changed. The selling price of...

The Eneolithic site Líbeznice, distr. of Prague - East
Sosnová, Anežka ; Dobeš, Miroslav (advisor) ; Popelka, Miroslav (referee)
The polycultural settlement area in Libeznice (Prague-East district) represents a relatively large complex of many different settlement structures, mostly of Funnel Beaker culture and Hallstat period, as well as three Unetice culture tombs and a skeleton burial probably of La-Téne period. An archaeological excavation, which was caused by the construction of a ring road, took place in the years 2008 and 2009. During the works several dozens of settlement structures of Funnel Beaker culture were uncovered - a large open settlement with more than ten long houses. In this thesis a chosen group of sixteen settlement structures is dealt with and published and its ceramic artefacts are analysed in detail. On the basis of its morphological features was this settlement dated to the younger period of Funnel Beaker culture, i.e. to the salzmünde phase. This study is extended with several introductory chapters summarizing the up-to-date scholarship on Czech Early and the beginning of the Middle Eneolithic periods to enable the better global understanding and the clearer wider context of the artefacts and structures of this settlement. Middle Eneolithic period - Funnel Beaker culture - Salzmünde phase - habitation area - Bohemia
