The Music of Western Culture as a Topic of Cultural Studies
Johnová, Jana ; Czumalo, Vladimír (advisor) ; Matějů, Martin (referee)
The subject of my work is the music of Western culture from the culturological point of view. I attempted to give an account of music in the context of some social sciences such as aesthetics, anthropology, psychology and sociology. Through these social sciences it was possible, for example, to differentiate between innate and culturally conditioned aspects of a person's reception of music. In the second part I focused on the music of Western culture from the point of view of three important cultural processes - the process of acculturation, diffusion and enculturation - and three parts of culture: artefacts, socio-cultural regulators and ideas. Primarily in the third part I attemped to describe some of the ways music has changed in the contemporary world of mass media. The aim of this work is to focus on music as an inseparable part of culture as well as important acoustic information and experience.

Bejdák, Radek ; Lebeda, Tomáš (advisor) ; Novák, Miroslav (referee)
The diploma thesis examines new phenomena of electronic democracy which is becoming more popular with the internet expansion. The thesis summarizes existing research in the field of electronic democracy from a view of forms that could be or are taken. The aim of this summarization is to show that new transformational changes affecting our society do not automatically implicate a shift towards direct democracy. Using theoretical summarization a state of the art of electronic democracy in the Czech Republic is described. Importance is given to an analysis of contemporary evolving tools and initiatives which were developed from two directions - top-down and a bottom up. A part of this analysis is an assessment of important factors that are stimulating a development of electronic participation - freedom of information right, internet penetration and computer literacy.

Poetics of title. In conception of contemporery Czech fiction
Lesák, Josef ; Peterka, Josef (advisor) ; Kubíček, Tomáš (referee)
At the beginning is this thesis about general poetics of title (functions of titles, historical poetics of title, typology of titles and about relations between the text and the title of a literary work). This thesis briefly concerns with specifics of contemporary Czech literature (literature after year 1989) and its titles. Further, it deals with ways of atractivization of titles. The focus of this thesis consists of analysis of titles of contemporary Czech fiction. We wanted to answer the question, what are the titles about, analyzing the titles of different genres and types of titles. The hypothesis about titles has been confirmed. In the majority of cases it is truth that titles are closely connected with the subject matter of the book. Furthermore, some of the titles tell us something about authors, about their biography and their poetics. Thanks to their form they can signalize theme or/and genre, but they do not predicate of affiliation to popular or artistic literature (titles of artistic and popular literature differentiate not by their form, but rather by fitting-in to the text of a book that seems to be better thought through in the case of artistic literature than in the case of popular literature). Subtitles mostly refer to genre and theme. We also state features of postmodern titles...

Believability of Narratives and of (fictional) Worlds Generated by them
Špidla, Kryštof ; Bílek, Petr (advisor) ; Hrbata, Zdeněk (referee) ; Bauer, Michal (referee)
The dissertation thesis called Narrative Texts' and their (fitonal) world Plausibility and (Fictional) Worlds created by These Narratives is based on the hypothesis that there is a specific feature of narrative texts: plausibility. The dissertation thesis is focused on the role of a reader in the process of the narrative worlds' actualization and there are also distinguished two sorts of narrative texts - narrative texts, which construct possible fictional worlds; and narrative texts, which create non-possible fictional worlds such as distinct kinds of self-voiding fictions. The thesis also differentiates between two sorts of plausibility - plausibility of fictional worlds and plausibility of fictional narrative act. Reference of narratives which means relation between fictional and actual world represents the fundamental issue. The dissertation thesis also concerns the relationship of plausibility of fiction and actual world changes, in other words - the relationship of plausibility and cultural- historical horizon. Reference frames also represent crucial concepts. These frames establish means of reception and plausibility reliance on them. The theoretical findings are illustrated through concrete examples of narratives - primarily through contemporary Czech prose. The dissertation thesis...
