FIDLEROVÁ, Nikola
The bachelor thesis focuses on the life experiences of active substance users. The aim of the thesis is to find out what effect active use of illegal substances and participation in criminal activities has on family relationships. A sub-objective is to identify what contexts have influenced the development of addiction. The thesis examines the family, its influence on addiction and the impact of addiction on the family. It introduces what addiction is, the categorical divisions of addictive substances, the most common problems associated with the active use of illicit substances, social work with users, help options for illicit substance users, and addiction treatment. The last chapter includes qualitative research based on two families, with a total of six narratives, who have experienced a family member's addiction to illicit substances. The results present addiction from the perspective of active users, their mothers, and younger brothers.

Another goal of this thesis is to compare the outcomes with the concepts of Tedeschi and Calhoun, Janoff-Bulman, Joseph and Linley, Hana Valentová and with the research conducted by Finkousová. The theoretical part is dedicated to decription of posttraumatic growth, it's definitions, models and factors of influence. Further theoretical chapters are dedicated to the topic of death of a close person.

Documentary Approaches in Contemporary Fine Art Moving Image
Bačíková, Alžběta ; PhDr. BcA. Andrea Slováková, Ph.D., MBA (referee) ; Pospiszyl, Tomáš (referee) ; Cenek, Filip (advisor)
The Dissertation titled Documentary Approaches in Contemporary Fine Art Moving Image focuses on the practical and theoretical research of documentary approaches to videos and films in the art field. It notices especially the self-reflexive strategies as a consequence of critical approach towards the medium itself and lack of belief in its ability to mediate reality or truth. Attempts to convey reality by audiovisual means are accompanied by the reflection of the way this happens. The Dissertation also reflects on the uncertain relation between the documentary and truth, which has been described in art by the artist and theoretician Hito Steyerl. The examined artworks were made in the period between the beginning of 21st century, when the documentary turn was reflected intensively, and the present time. The selection of examples was strongly influenced by the local study of Israeli art in The Video Archive of the Center for Contemporary Art in Tel Aviv. Motives of conflict, violence and trauma resonating in studied videos and films influenced further selection and analysis of the authors’ documentary methods from a different context. In the selected works I can see particularly various forms of alienation effects and self-reflexive approaches. Using these procedures the artists highlight the constructedness of the audiovisual work and the way it was produced. Recurring formal principles have been stated. Reenactment of real events, revealing the way the work was produced or the artist’s position in the production process; these strategies indicate the uncertain relationship between the documentary work and reality. In the frame of these tendencies also reevaluation of the observational documentary strategies as something seemingly opposite to self-reflexive strategies is reviewed. Theoretical outcomes are continuously accompanied by author’s own art projects concentrated around the form of documentary portrait and its (de)construction. They experiment with the formal principles analyzed on a theoretical level.

Trauma and its role in the life of a drug addict
WERNEROVÁ, Barbora
The work deals with the role of trauma in the life of a drug addict with regard to his early childhood and the traumatic events he encountered. The first part of the work is focused on the characteristics of stress, defense mechanisms, post-traumatic stress disorder, then the work presents post-traumatic growth, which is a positive consequence of trauma. The work also deals with the definition of addiction and its origin. The causes and forms of addiction are described. In the last part of the work we deal with the connections between trauma and addiction, specifically how neurobiology and the external environment can be one of the causes of addiction. In this part, the emphasis is on the fact that the event itself is not trauma, but what a person experiences, what takes place within a person and his reaction to a traumatic event, is only trauma. In conclusion, the theory of Gabor Maté is mentioned, who described addiction as a direct consequence of trauma.
