Three faces of Parisian bohemian and their portrayal in media
Robotková, Martina ; Novotný, David Jan (advisor) ; Čeňková, Jana (referee)
The thesis entitled "Three faces of Parisian bohemian and their portrayal in media" focuses on the media response to artistic works of three different genres that deal with the theme of Parisian bohemia. Central to the entire work is the French writer Henri Murger, who is recognized as the first Bohemian and a populariser of the concept. His 1851 short story cycle titled Scenes of Bohemian Life narrates the lives of four Parisian artists, capturing their daily struggles and joys. This cycle inspired two Italian opera composers, Giacomo Puccini and Ruggiero Leoncavallo, who at the end of the 19th century introduced their operas of the same name La Bohème. In 1992, Finnish director and screenwriter Aki Kaurismäki chose Murger's stories as a template for his film Bohemian Life. The aim of the thesis is to provide basic knowledge about the individual authors who worked with the theme of Parisian bohemia, and the reception of their works in print and electronic media. The focus is primarily on the similarities and differences in the portrayal of this phenomenon in literature, opera, and film.

Critic or creator? Merging the roles of cultural journalist and audiovisual content creator
Šafová, Julie ; Turek, Pavel (advisor) ; Čeňková, Jana (referee)
Bachelor's thesis Critic or creator? Merging the roles of cultural journalist and audiovisual content creator focuses on the specific aspect in which the sphere of cultural journalism is penetrated by people who are themselves engaged in the process of creating cultural contents. The paper first defines cultural journalism and criticism as general genres with linguistic specifics, then focuses on the concept of criticism as an institution and describes the crisis of the critical genre and its form in the digitalized environment of today. Other chapters deal with the precarization of work, a phenomenon during which permanent jobs are replaced by precarious work dependent on part-time and one-off activities, which is central to the Czech and global cultural journalism and its understanding. The thesis defines how the precarization of work affects the cultural industry and media production. The aim of the thesis is to examine the relationship between the roles of cultural publicist and audiovisual content creator, how this relationship is reflected in the activities of those who occupy both roles, and how these roles complement each other. The practical output of the thesis is a series of eight interviews with male and female respondents who, in addition to audiovisual criticism, are also involved in...
