The journey of tattoos
 TUMPACHOVÁ, Kristýna
Kristýna Tumpachová's Bachelor thesis goes into issues with tattoos and its transformation. The key theme of the thesis is mainly the history of tattooing, their function and their metastasis from the former, which began to appear in pre-literary cultures to the present. It also tries to find answers to questions such as "Did the fuction of tattoos totally disappear or is it vice versa?" "How do they get tattoos to kitsches?" It not only points to an aesthetic extent, but also to anthropological and social dimension and takes tattoos not as a product of a new generation, but also looks at it as if it has been a major and important part of every culture throughout the centuries.

Phenomenon Body modification: The sociological interpretation.
 Kolářová, Sára ; Paulíček, Miroslav (advisor) ; Kotík, Michal (referee)
The thesis is focused on the research of subjects who are specifically standing out due to their different visual appearance thanks to extreme Body modifications that they have done on their bodies. It explores whether they are just independent individuals with no subcultural relations or whether they belong to a certain closed social group that stands on common values which are manifested through modifications. The theoretical part deals with frameworks that could more precisely define their interaction. The author seeksout for subcultural signs because recent Body modification literature suggest that these individuals might be members of a group called Modern primitives, which meets all the characteristics necessary for the existence of a subculture. However on the basis of primarily semi-structured interviews author dicovers that these people do not fit their beliefs into such a framework and their interactions and shared values are not extensive. The results of the work thus points to the fact that individuals with Body modification can be consistently assigned to one of shared social identities that helps them find themselves. If there is a binding element between them at a higher level, it's the so-called suspension, in other words: being hanged on hooks, where their interaction is necessary.
