Spirituality in the context of body modifications
Adámková, Tereza ; Heřmanský, Martin (advisor) ; Kostićová, Zuzana (referee)
The presented diploma thesis aims to focus on body modifications of the view of spirituality in contemporary Euro-American society. The main effort was to answer the question of how bodily manifestations can be connected to spirituality and how it can be interpreted. In the first part of the diploma thesis, the term spirituality was defined as an individual component of personality that can be examined and interpreted outside the framework of organized religion. Furthermore, the text addressed the term body modification, which is defined in this text as a matter of contemporary Euro-American society. The theoretical anchoring of these two terms was established for the empirical part, which sought to prepare the main indicator of spirituality based on the interpretation of data obtained from interviews with informants.

Home Cooking on TV
Adámková, Tereza ; BENDOVÁ, Helena (advisor) ; REIFOVÁ, Irena (referee)
In this thesis, I am doing the cultural analysis of culinary programs on home cooking. Specifically, the Czech programs Dita P. Diary, Carolina, The Home Cook, When Dad Cooks, Boys in Action and Cheap and Tasty with Lada Hruska. At the same time this work briefly presents the context of British culinary programs. The aim is to deduce what values the Czech programs can transmit to viewers. Inspiration in this respect draws upon cultural texts dealing with food / tv studies mentioned in the introductory part of the thesis. In the last part of the thesis it occurs that a particular aspect of the programs is too broadly defined. As a result only very general characteristics of values presented in the analysed programs could be deduced.
