Tiny House - Reasons and obstacles of living in a small space
Pospíšilová, Veronika ; Novák, Arnošt (advisor) ; Špaček, Ondřej (referee)
Práce se zabývá fenoménem tiny house, tedy malými funkčně zařízenými stavbami. Teoretická část práce na základě rešerše literatury představuje tuto stavbu i sociální a architektonické hnutí, které se kolem tohoto způsobu bydlení vytvořilo. Hnutí propaguje žití na malém prostoru, omezování spotřeby a větší environmentální šetrnost jakožto prostředek ke zvýšení kvality života (Anson, 2014). Empirická část se zaměřuje na obyvatele těchto staveb na území České republiky. Klade si za cíl porozumět, co bylo důvodem k pořízení domku, dále pak jaká pozitiva a negativa bydlení přináší. Na základě polostrukturovaných rozhovorů a analýzy sekundárních dat, práce dochází k závěru, že se jedná především o biografické řešení systémového rozporu, kterým je krize bydlení (Beck, 2011). Na výsledné podobě tohoto řešení se podílejí panující kulturní normy v oblasti bydlení. Tiny house tak nemá být zhmotněním protestu proti současnému systému, spíše individuálním vypořádáním se s jeho nefunkčností. Vlastnictví domku přináší obyvatelům pocit jistoty, klidu, větší finanční nezávislost i prostor pro revizi hodnot. Zároveň se snižuje jejich ekologická stopa (Saxton, 2019). Domek na druhou stranu vytváří náročnější podmínky pro soužití více osob. Zároveň se jeho obyvatelé musí často potýkat se skepsí ze strany okolí i...

Minkovová, Beatriz ; Novák, Arnošt (advisor) ; Pospíšilová, Tereza (referee)
The subject of the diploma thesis is the environmental movement Extinction Rebellion in the Czech Republic. To understand the context, the theoretical section of the thesis presents the history of environmental movements, the development of activism in the Czech Republic and also describes the current Czech environmental organizations and the typology of illegal actions. Next part of the theoretical section is a detailed presentation of the Extinction Rebellion movement in both the international and Czech environment, as well as the definition of collective identity as a fundamental concept of the thesis. The aim of this qualitative research is to find out what is the collective identity of Extinction Rebellion movement. To provide a thorough and holistic understanding of the movement's collective identity, as well as Extinction Rebellion as a phenomenon, the research raises secondary research questions about people's motivations to join the movement, their expectations and members' attitudes to climate change. Data collection through semi-structured interviews and documents is used to answer the questions. The main applied concepts are three categories and three features of collective identity defined by Albert Melucci. Extinction Rebellion is a grass-root, radical and autonomous movement, using...
Production of knowledge on climate crisis
Nunez, Eva ; Zandlová, Markéta (advisor) ; Novák, Arnošt (referee)
In my thesis I am using ethnographic research methodology to study ways of communication and production of knowledge about the climate crisis in the Czech climate movement. The thesis focuses on four activist groups known for their use of direct action - Extinction Rebellion, Greenpeace, Limity jsme my (We are the Limits) and "Stop Dirty Money", an activist coalition group. I examine the process of making of their communication and who their communication is aimed at. Emphasis is placed on their use of direct action and emotional framing of climate crisis. The thesis analyzes how each group's views on social change are reflected in their communication and production of knowledge.

Ecological modernization theory - facts and context. Historical perspective, conditions and limits of the neoliberal sustainability concept
Oharková, Alena ; Novák, Arnošt (advisor) ; Lapka, Miloslav (referee)
Ecological modernization theory - facts and context. Historical perspective, conditions and limits of the neoliberal sustainability koncept Annotation: This diploma thesis deals with the synthesis of ideas of ecological modernization theory, which has been developing since the 80's of the 20th century particularly in Western Europe. The ecological modernization theory wants to explain, interpret and propose environmental reforms in conjunction with continued economical growth, industrial development and globalization. The ecological modernization theory argues that a continuous industrial development does not lead inevitably to environmental degradation, but rather provides the best possible way out of the environmental crisis. Although the ecological modernization theory is a relatively young concept, during the first thirty years of its existence has greatly expanded and diversified, gained countless supporters and opponents, provoked a number of debates and inspired many empirical studies. This development, however, has led not only to new findings but also resulted in a dilution of the ecological modernization theory, which thereby has become confusing, vague and inconsistent. This thesis attempts to give a framework to the ecological modernization theory to specify not only its main ideas and goals,...

Representation of the problem of climate change in the print media
Trunečková, Daniela ; Novák, Arnošt (advisor) ; Hájek, Roman (referee)
This diploma thesis on Representation of the problem of climate change in the print media is a content analysis of Czech quality daily newspapers, namely Hospodářské noviny, Lidové noviny, Mladá fronta DNES and Právo. It deals with the way the selected daily newspapers presented debate on global climate change in 2013-2014. The theoretical part informs readers about the basic concepts and definitions and introduces them to the problem. The empirical part answers the question of whether the media coverage of global climate change in Czech quality daily newspapers is consistent with scientific findings of the international climate discourse represented by Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) or whether it relies equally on opinions of the small group of so called climate skeptics who question the general consensus of the scientific comunity regarding the causes and consequences of climate change or the need of adequate measures. The results of research indicated that most of analyzed articles informed about climate change the same way as the main climatological research. The largest number of skeptical articles appeared in Lidové noviny. A considerable number of articles didn't comment on the causes of climate change, their seriousness or decisions regarding action.
