New Faces
Pokorná, Barbora ; Brožka, Petr (referee) ; Kvíčala, Petr (advisor)
The project New Faces is a series of portraits dealing with the theme of identity and its loss, human individuality and the phenomenon of ideal of beauty. Each of paintings depict different views on the same face, base on personal confessions of portrayed and his friends. Thus we can observe confrontation of the "subjective" and the "objective", where this supposed "objectivity" acquire the relative value in the context of other pictures. The project points to the problem of self-perception and it explores how human perception distorts the reality, especially if more factors (than just a visual image of reality) affects the person.

The relationship of children from catholic families to faith in middle childhood
GRULICHOVÁ, Eliška
The presented bachelor thesis explores the problematics of children's faith. Specifically, it is focused on the relationship of children from catholic families to faith in middle childhood. The theoretical part sums up capabilities which have been achieved in cognitive, moral, emotional and social development by children. The knowledge are extended by a context of children's religious life. Two last chapters focus on the approach to an exploration of the development of religiosity and to socialization of a faith. The empirical part was looking for an answer to the question: how do the children in middle childhood from catholic families perceive the faith of their family. It was achieved through the qualitative design of a research: the multiple case study. The data were collected up by in-depth semi-structured interviews with children in the age rage between nine and eleven years. Thereafter, they were analyzed by an open coding process. The thesis presents these data by the card unloading technique in comparison within each one category (the social influence to the infantile faith, the children's explanation of some religious rituals, the perception of the religious rules, the experience of the religious faith and the perception of devotional entities - the God, Jesus Christ, Virgin Mary and the Holy Spirit). It was found that family is an important part of children's (in the middle childhood) religious life. The children identify themselves as Christians and acknowledge the Christian's rules without conflict. They use the confession and the praying for communication to God and for religious entities and for help against bad feelings and fear too. Children positively perceive religious entities and describe them through anthropomorphic and abstract concepts. It also turned out that children's experience and an explanation of the religion correspond to theories of cognitive, moral and emotional development which are described in the theoretical part.

Narratives and Religion: Particularities and Functions of Narration in Religious Context
Širl, Radim ; Chlup, Radek (advisor) ; Lyčka, Milan (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to analyse certain aspects connecting religion and narration (which is understood here as a common human faculty to think and express oneself in the form of narratives). The first part of the thesis is concerned with methodology; first of all, the issues of defining narrative are introduced and a more elaborate definition is presented. A complete methodology is then formulated with a help of several authors (mainly James W. Pennebaker and Mary Douglas) in order to distinguish particularities and functions of creating narratives in religious contexts. Two main points are stressed here: that the content of the narratives is often concerned with problematic aspects of experience and that the expression of these narratives is beneficial for their creators. The second part focuses on several religious institutions concerned with creation of narratives which are interpreted with the outlined methodology. In this manner, the act of confession in Catholicism, prayer in Christianity and certain healing rituals are described and interpreted. Conclusions of this thesis should help the reader get a basic idea of the way created narratives in religious contexts affect their authors.

Transformations of the Church at the Time of the Incoming Enlightenment
Žezlo, Martin ; Veverková, Kamila (advisor) ; Lášek, Jan Blahoslav (referee)
Master's thesis Transformations of the Church at the Time of the Incoming Enlightenment discusses the ongoing contradictions between faiths. Catholic confession, which initially imposed on all subjects and nobilities in the Roman Empire has been slowly losing its previous power. Its power has been decreasing in inverse proportion by the time Enlightenment spreaded to the Czech lands throughout Germany and Italy. It changed everything, what was perceived in some way, and in turn created a lot of new knowledge. Enlightenment appeared under the rule of Emperor Charles VI., although not as much as of his daughter Marie Terezie and of his grandson Emperor Joseph II. at all. Joseph II. transformed his entire empire based on his Enlightenment ideas. By the time of reforms the "liberation" of non-Catholics and the abolition of serfdom is gradually coming. The Church at this time was very fragmented and was creating new spiritual insights on the Catholic Church and Christianity itself.

Confession as a Technique of Subjectification in the Political Thought of Michel Foucault
Doležal, Kryštof ; Franěk, Jakub (advisor) ; Salamon, Janusz (referee)
This thesis is focused on interpreting constitutive components of Michel Foucault's political thought (power, knowledge, subjectivity) from the viewpoint of the subjectification. The first goal of this work is to pursue the technique of confession as a crucial mechanism that participates on constructing the subjectivity in Foucault's work. To uncover in which connections it is usually pursued and what forms according to Foucault did it gain during history depending on various configurations of bonds between power and knowledge. The work's second goal is to substantiate a technique of confession defined by Foucault in contemporary human sciences, specifically in the foundations of the processes of data collection and then to demonstrate confession as a necessary element for creating an empirical type of knowledge.
