The Lucy Collective - Women Of History, Women Of Fiction
Franková, Anna ; Herout,, Adam (referee) ; Macháček, Mikuláš (advisor)
This project is a prototype of a database-driven website with user-editable content The Lucy Collective – Women Of History. This site will collect information about historical women and links to sources related to them, and serve as a "first-step" resource for educators, creators, and other people interested in the topic. The prototype's main goal is to present the intended structure, useability, and design of the final website, and serve as a basis for building the final working version.

Art and Motherhood
Olivová, Kateřina ; Koubová,, Alice (referee) ; Kraĺovič,, Ján (referee) ; Klodová, Lenka (advisor)
The dissertation Art and Motherhood deals with the influence of motherhood on the experienced reality of women active in artistic practice - artists, theorists, curators and activists. Using feminist and artistic research methods, I collect and analyse the specific experiences of individual mothers. Capturing the breadth of possible views, perspectives and experiences that motherhood brings is essential to my research. I am not concerned in isolation instances of specific artistic realisations, but rather with the processes, environments and contexts of making, and the creative and life strategies employed in reconciling the personal and professional roles of individual women artists. The content of a series of thirty-five conducted interviews comprises the research material for the work, but is also the source for the practical component of the dissertation - the book Milk and Honey co-published by the wo-men and AVU publishing houses. The practice of two related community-based mothers' groups - Breastfeeding Guerillas and Mothers Artlovers is also examined. While Breastfeeding Guerrilla is a support group for mothers promoting and normalizing breastfeeding, Mothers Artlovers is a support group for parents in the arts. All of these research units set a community-based perspective on all research affecting the universal, multi-layered and inherently collective topic of motherhood.

Theory Actions in X Chapters/Actions Theory in X Acts : Talk and Twerk
Bačíková, Alžběta ; Sterec, Pavel (referee) ; Rathouský, Luděk (advisor)
The result of the project is a short video documentation of reciprocal lesson given by the twerking instructress and the teacher of the rhetoric. We can easily observe how the smart nonverbal choreography of speech is joining the erotically explicit dance. Women bodies are shot by camera during the training. They exercise proper breathing techniques first, then nonverbal expression and finally they try to articulate diverse notions on twerking. After the rhetoric lesson is given, they change the positions of teacher and the person being taught. It's time to learn how to twerk. In the final sequence we can see both women performing short twerk choreography on hip-hop music track made originally for the project.

The Space for All of Us
Dobiášová, Dominika ; Poliačková, Martina (referee) ; Štindlová, Marie (advisor)
The diploma work Sanctuary for Each of Them consists of a series of objects and paintings in which I try to capture the mutual necessity and ambiguity of the individual's position in society. I am trying to bring the viewers to a strange, unsettling place where a series of plots and stories take place. Relationships develop between the characters, but also between them and the fictional world in which their stories are set. Motifs and characters from the paintings then transition into anthropomorphic objects - figures depicted in glassware and table bases. In this way, the action shifts directly into the physical space of the gallery and turns into a scenography that can be entered and interacted with on a personal level.

Intersectionality From the Perspective of Feminist Activist Collectives in the Czech Republic
Dařílková, Linda ; Kobová, Ĺubica (advisor) ; Kolářová, Kateřina (referee)
Intersectionality is a topic that resonates with feminist activist collectives in the Czech Republic. Half of the collectives included in this research publicly identify as intersectional, while most of the remaining collectives identify with intersectionality at least to some extent. However, intersectionality is a complex theoretical concept, and one can ask how the collectives understand intersectionality and how they translate it into their practice. Much of the interviews revealed that discursive approaches to intersectionality are driven by an ethos of social justice, i.e. a better world for all. This implies an appeal to inclusivity, which was differentiated in several interviews between inward and outward inclusivity. Outward inclusivity was manifested by including more areas of social justice in the discourse and actions of the collective. At the discursive and practical level, I identified other, equally important, approaches to intersectionality, which I describe in this thesis. Intersectionality, in relation to the actual self-identification of collectives, also expresses an effort to distance oneself from exclusionary strands of feminism or activism in general, and in this respect intersectionality can also take on a normative character. Despite the research participants' largely (but...

Female Sports Commentators in Czech Television, gender aspects, professional experiences
Machalíková, Libuše ; Vochocová, Lenka (advisor) ; Štoll, Martin (referee)
The bachelor's thesis "Female Sports Commentators in Czech Television, gender aspects, professional experiences" analyses the work experiences of women and men in the sports editorial department of Czech Television, with a focus on gender stereotypes, and obstacles and positive trends with regard to gender equality. The theoretical part explores and defines key terms such as media, sports media, feminism (radical, social, Marxist, and socialist), and gender roles. The methodological section describes the research objectives, defends the choice of a qualitative approach, and details the data analysis process. In the practical part, the results of interviews with women and men from the sports editorial department are presented. The research suggests that gender equality in sports journalism is gradually increasing, but challenges persist, such as structural inequalities in leadership. The contribution of this work lies in providing a comprehensive overview of gender aspects in sports journalism.

Gender and Law
Hájek, Adam ; Agha, Petr (advisor) ; Ondřejková, Jana (referee)
Gender and Law Abstract Currently, the terms sex and gender are the subject of much debate. Recently, the Czech courts have had the opportunity to comment on these terms in the case of a non-binary person who was assigned male sex at birth and whose application to change their birth number to neutral or female was denied because they did not meet the condition for undergoing a sex change under the current legislation - they did not undergo a surgical procedure that rendered her unreproductive. In other words, she has not undergone the castration required by law. In their decisions, the Supreme Administrative Court and the Constitutional Court provide an interpretation of gender, its conception, characteristics and its role in the Czech legal system. The opinions of these highest courts in the Czech Republic not only reflect the social understanding of the issue of gender reassignment, but also shape the social understanding through their authoritative interpretation of these concepts in the context of the legal order. Therefore, it is relevant and necessary to critically analyse these decisions, which is the aim of this paper. In the first part, critical tools and ideas are introduced, which in the second part serve as ideological resources for the critique of judicial decisions. First, Critical Legal...

Contemporary American right-wing extremism using the example of the Proud Boys with a focus on the ideology of violence
Šaník, Jan ; Charvát, Jan (advisor) ; Dopieralla, Jakub (referee)
This thesis examines contemporary American extremism, using the example of the far-right, all-male organization Proud Boys, whose members refer to themselves as "Western chauvinists." Thesis analyzes the group in terms of its history, organization, and hierarchy. Paying special attention to the group's ideology, the thesis aims to place the group in the larger context of American society and to name the factors that influenced the group's direction in terms of its ideological grounding in violence. In this thesis, I will defend the thesis that violence plays a privileged role that co-creates the ideology of the group as a whole. The thesis is designed to provide an answer to the question "what role does violence play in the Proud Boys?" Through an in-depth qualitative content analysis, this thesis discusses the relationship between violence and the ideology of the Proud Boys and explains how violence contributes a unifying role. In general, this study contributes to an understanding of both the motivations and behaviors of the Proud Boys group and contributes to the larger discourse on extremism in contemporary America.
