Let's discover the past of progress with a virtual assistant
Hanzalová, Linda ; Havlůjová, Hana (advisor) ; Hnilica, Jiří (referee)
In my diploma thesis, I am looking for a way to awaken, maintain and deepen people's relationship with technical monuments in the cultural landscape, thereby increasing their chance of preserving them for future generations as evidence of the history of human ingenuity. I deal with the possibilities of connecting interpretation and education, or guides and teachers, at technical monuments with help of a virtual environment which is close to today's young generation. The goal of my work is to create such an interactive educational program/game focusing on technical monuments which will make the participants, through an application on a mobile phone or tablet, physically visit a technical monument, get to know it in its authentic environment and thus create a personal relationship with it. At the same time, in the role of the creator of this type of educational program, I also examine the environment, the conditions for the implementation of the plan, as well as the possibility of sharing game experiences, partial and overall results, including their own research, with other users. I am looking for a way to make heritage education "alive", developing and sustainable. KEYWORDS Technical monuments, play, interpretation, education, crafts, technologies, virtual environment, experience.

Cibulková, Kristýna ; Francová, Sylva (advisor) ; Raudenský, Martin (referee)
Housing estates and their author's reflection ABSTRACT The housing estate itself and its development represent a fascinating topic that encompasses a wide range of aspects from urban planning and architecture to social and cultural phenomena. The central theme of the thesis is the environment of panel housing estates and their reflection in the author's and didactic parts. In the theoretical part, the thesis addresses the idea of the emergence, realization, and development of housing estates in the area of the capital city of Prague. It focuses on the relationships of the housing estate with other elements of the city and studies them in sociological, political, and geographical contexts. It deals with the theme of the place itself, its character, and its recording. It seeks connections of the topic in art, architecture, and urbanism and interprets them into the didactic and practical parts. The didactic part is based on the findings obtained in the theoretical part and proposes their use in visual arts classes. Using mental maps, it explores the environment of housing estates from the perspective of elementary school students. It motivates them to actively explore the environment in which they live and offers various activities to support their interest and understanding of the topic. In the practical...

Zombie as a Metaphor of Human Society
PÝCHOVÁ, Nela
The bachelor thesis deals with the interpretation of the undead or zombie in popular culture. It examines the features with the help of which their specificity is constructed (even compared to the characters of vampires or artificial beings) and the meanings that zombies generate in specific works. It traces how and how much zombies reflect the state of society (in the sense of the circulation of social energy and related themes) and how do these zombie metaphors change over time. The thesis focuses mainly on film production, but also addresses the question of how these representations differ in different media. The primary sources are the works of popular culture themselves and the main method of interpretation is their interpretative comparison placed in the context of the time the works were created and the socio-cultural setting that can be observed at that time.

Key topics of selected reading-book texts and its interpretation using the Philosophy for Children method
MEDALOVÁ HŮDOVÁ, Václava
The aim of the thesis is to answer the research questions "What key themes do students identify using the Philosophy for Children method in selected texts in the elementary school reader for the second grade?" and "How do students interpret selected texts through these concepts?" The theoretical section focuses on the general concept of interpretation and the connection of interpretation with the Philosophy for Children method, whose principles are subsequently explained through practical examples. The thesis also includes a characterization of the selected age group of students who were part of the research. Adolescents are described not only from the perspective of developmental psychology but especially as readers, with the area of their reading interests being examined. For example, book borrowings among adolescent readers in libraries are analyzed. The research section offers an analysis of philosophical discussions in which students attempted to find key themes in selected texts from the reader.

The Understood Author: A hermeneutical exploration of audiences interpretation of the author as productive practices behind a text
Pavlíčková, Tereza ; Carpentier, Nico (advisor) ; Kuzmičová, Anežka (referee) ; Hermes, Joke (referee)
in English This project builds on the tradition of audience research that theoretically and empirically established that meaning is formed in the negotiation between the text and the reader, that the audiences are agentic, their interpretation of media is contextual and situated, and that they have the potential to resist the media. It argues that it is important to explore people's attention to different sources: who is listening, to whom, and why - and asks how people understand the notion of an author that they encounter in the interpretation of factual media texts, and how this interpretation is brought back into the interpretative act. The thesis subscribes to philosophical hermeneutics as an overarching theoretical as well as methodological framework to devise a concept of an understood author that is a result of the interpretative act, where the author imagined and anticipated by the reader (in the form of prior knowledge and prejudices) is encountered and actualised by the author inscribed into the text. I carried out 28 in-depth face-to-face interviews with Czechs born between 1948-1963 to explore participants' experiences and relationship with media and media authors. Employing hermeneutical analysis, the focus is not to capture what is an author, but how it happened to be so. The...

The Labyrinth of the World and the Paradise of the Heart 1623- 2023.
Vik, Dalibor Jiří ; Schifferová, Věra (advisor) ; Lášek, Jan Blahoslav (referee) ; Beneš, Jiří (referee)
The dissertation thesis deals with the topic of the "afterlife" of Comenius's most notable Czech work, The Labyrinth of the World and the Paradise of the Heart, and the constitution of its position in the history of ideas. In six main historical periods, spreading over four centuries from the writing of the manuscript (1623) to the present day (2023), it examines the reception of the work in cultural-social and scholarly realms, traces their interaction and describes shifts in the interpretation of the work in relation to changing paradigms of the day. From the source material, it analyses primarily a wide range of various editions and translations of the work, mentions, commentaries and scholarly publications on the work and objects of artistic nature, based on which it aims at reconstructing various historical images of the work, which symbolically and factually accompanied the Czech society in its historical transformations. The work contains the most complete list of Czech editions and translations of the work and relevant secondary literature to date. It was written on the occasion of the 400th anniversary of the work.
