Muslim Brotherhood is transnational Islamic movement that operates in the countries of northern Africa and the Middle East. Originally it used to be a charity organization focused on various social issues and it only later entered the political scene as well.

Meanwhile in Jordan, the changes after the Arab Spring were not as significant. Nowadays, the...

Mezi Ammánem a Prahou
Abed, Husam Mohamad Arafat ; LJUBKOVÁ, Marta (advisor) ; NEUMANN, Julius (referee)
Tato diplomová práce se zabývá mojí praxí v Jordánsku a v České republice. Zkoumá vztah mezi diváky a vlastními divadelními idejemi a jejich efekt na mé rozhodování. Práce je rozdělena na dvě kapitoly. První kapitola se věnuje srovnání mé práce sociálního pracovníka a režiséra, který pracoval s Palestinskou mládeží a terénními pracovníky v největším Palestinském uprchlickém táboře v Ammánu v Jordánsku, a dále pak se zahraničními studenty z Evropy v programu Erasmus na fakultě divadelních studií DAMU v Praze v České republice. Druhá kapitola srovnává moji sólovou práci v Jordánsku vycházející z Palestinské lidové tradice, na kterou jsem v Čechách navázal vytvořením vlastního autobiografického dokumentárního loutkového představení. Pracovní proces zkoumá úhel pohledu režiséra/autora a analyzuje výsledky a výzvy, kterým jsem v průběhu tvorby čelil. Práce režiséra spočívající v organizaci, kontrole a reflexi tvorby, který má rozhodující slovo, slouží jako mikrokosmos pro sledování politického loutkového divadla založeného na pohádce, lidové tradici a autobiografických prvcích. V důsledku toho jako režisér nabourávám vyprávěcí normy klasického Arabského divadla a západního loutkového divadla za účelem přinést na pódium něco nového.

Israeli Security and Existential threats in 21. Century
Podracká, Petra ; Havlová, Radka (advisor) ; Dubský, Zbyněk (referee)
This Master Thesis aims to present the current existential threats to Israeli security. Israel is a Jewish country in the middle of the Muslim region and her demise is wished by many involved parties. The Author describes sophisticated security systems of Israel, their efficiency and its unofficial nuclear program. From the state actors, it is Iran that has become the number one perceived threat in Israel thanks to its officials' rhetoric, its support towards terrorist organizations and its nuclear program. Israel is often involved in asymmetrical conflicts against non-state actors like Hamas and Hezbollah. The new extremist group Islamic State can also potentially pose a threat. Has Israel got reasons to worry about her existence? Has the Arab Spring brought about positives, negatives, or new possibilities? The Author aims to answer these questions.
