If the Anger Dances
 Cieslarová, Olga Věra ; PILÁTOVÁ, Jana (advisor) ; KOUBOVÁ, Alice (referee)
My doctoral thesis If the Anger dances - Fasnacht in Basel and the Velvet Carnival of Prague continues on topics, already researched for my master thesis and published as Fasnacht – a carnival in Basel in 2013. Now I deeply analyse the evolution of masks (Laarve) and a stream of inner revolt (Wilde Fasnacht). As well I show evolution of Fasnacht since the end of 19th century into the present form that grew into some archaic characteristics. From outside looks Fasnacht as a firmly structured ritual, but from inside shows an extraordinary ability of inner changes and flexibility. By presenting different forms of changes I tend to find principles that keep Fasnacht alive in the modern times. Since six years, throughout my whole doctoral studies, I devoted myself to organise the Velvet Carnival in Prague, a carnevalesque celebration that is directly inspired by Basler Fasnacht. At the end of my thesis I am presenting basic elements we transferred from the original and try to evaluate how those elements live in the new background. In the context of Basel and Prague I thematise a creative potential of anger that can be manifested in an artistic way. So do I show Fasnacht and Velvet Carnival as a cultivated form of middle-age Rough music and as a creative manifestation of active citizenship. Part of my thesis is a documentary film Beneath the mask, there is darkness (made by Viola Ježková) and a book of 5 Years of The Velvet Carnival.

Fasnacht of Basel is Switzerland
 Cieslarová, Olga Věra ; Pilátová, Jana (advisor) ; Rut, Přemysl (referee)
"Fasnacht" of Basel is Switzerland's largest carnival and, at the same time, it is the only protestant carnival in the world. Its origins go as far as the middle ages, nevertheless, in the last two centuries, it has gradually grown a surprisingly current and lively image. "Fasnacht" is a geyser of social and political satire; and a substantial part of the city is involved in it during most of the year.
