MARTINA HYNKOVÁ: ‚JINÉ SVĚTY' ŽEN JAZZOVÉ SEKCE V OBDOBÍ TZV. NORMALIZACE ABSTRACT This master thesis deals with the Jazz section of the Musicians' Union in the normalization period. It was an amateur organization which existed from 1971 until 1986. It took an active part in the area of jazz and united an extensive jazz community. The thesis aims at gender aspects of female Jazz section's activities and roles. The research question can be formulated as follows: Which strategies of living did female members of the Jazz section choose during the normalization? The thesis is based on a biographical method consisting of six interviews with former female members of the Jazz section. Those interviews were made via an episodic narrative interview. The author revealed the following strategies of living: accession to the Jazz section community, being an active member of the community, going abroad to visit cultural events, contact with dissent and living in two worlds. Making of these other worlds by female members of the Jazz section thus became strategies of living on their own.

Free schools and its application on contemporary education
Bartošová, Alexandra ; Poche Kargerová, Jana (advisor) ; Vallin, Petra (referee)
I deal with the democratic school term in my diploma thesis. I clarify the term, I present few of the democratic schools and critical pedagogy. My goal is to highlight the qualities of the democratic school and demonstrate the arguments for considering it as equal and adequate to classical education system. I highlight the importance of attention and financial support from MŠMT for the democratic schools. Few of the democratic schools and the movements were inspired by the concept of independent british boarding Summerhill school and his founder Alexander Sutherland Neill. I will describe pedagogical principles of A. S. Nell and the history of Summerhill school in my thesis. Partial goals are to clarify in what extant and how were employed the principles of Summerhill school in schools in the Czech republic; and how can be the pedagogy of A. S. Neill followed in Czech settings. I will decribe my own point of view on the schooling and teaching. I will compare them to several schools, e.g. Scio school, Ježek bez klece school, Neškola, Sudbury Valley School, Neue Schule etc. after that. I will address the terms unschooling, democracy and boarding school. I employ a method of comparison, analogy, analisis and synthesis.

Myths of the czech music alternative in the 1980s
Jonssonová, Pavla ; Jurková, Zuzana (advisor) ; Horský, Jan (referee) ; Maderová, Blanka (referee)
Dissertation "Myths of the Czech Music Alternative in the 1980s" presents an anthropological view of the phenomenon of a parallel culture in a limiting situation. On the basis of biographical narratives, additional interviews and data gained from other types of sources, "myths" are constructed for seven major figures of the Czech alternative scene. This is an insider's ethnomusicological interpretation, based on Mircea Eliade's and Bronislaw Malinowski's concepts of myth as recurrent and exemplary models of behavior. The described personalities, Jazz Section (Prometheus), Miroslav Wanek ("hero's journey") Karel Babuljak ("search for paradise lost"), Pavel Zajíček (Odysseus), Mikoláš Chadima ("Rebel"), Oldřich Janota (Hermes), and Marka Míková (Psyche), represent some of the main trends in creative processes of the Czech music alternative scene with myth being used as a metaphor. The metaphor is understood here in the terms of Timothy Rice, i.e. as an organization principle of our thinking, as well as an illuminating image.

Specifics of cooperation between the current Czech alternative music scene and commercial entities
Pecková, Sára ; Ježková, Tereza (advisor) ; Schneiderová, Soňa (referee)
It is common in marketing communication to use music or to establish cooperation between subjects of the music industry and commercial entities that are not directly related to music. This is most common for music produced directly for commercial purposes and for the so- called mainstream music scene. On the contrary, the alternative music scene differs from the mainstream in many ways and often directly identifies itself against commercial conduct. In addition, the Czech alternative music scene has many special specifics due to historical development. Nevertheless, cooperation with commercial entities takes place with representatives of the musical alternative, although these cases are not as common as in case of the mainstream music scene, or they have not yet received much attention. This work follows up the specifics of cooperation between the current Czech alternative music scene and commercial entities as a cooperation of two completely different spheres. The observed specifics are based on in-depth interviews with representatives of the contemporary Czech alternative music scene, who have experience in cooperating with commercial entities. The result of the research is an approximation of how the cooperation between the two entities works.

Reisigová, Anna ; Novotný, David Jan (advisor) ; Osvaldová, Barbora (referee)
The bachelor's thesis Independent theatres of Prague - a series of interviews focuses on Prague's theatre scene, especially on independent theatres and their representatives. The first part of the thesis is theoretical and defines the independent theatre scene, history of theatre in the Czech Republic and Czechoslovakia, respectively. It also presents The Czech Association of Independent Theatre and theatres, whose representatives I will interview. The second part is also theoretical and defines a journalistic interview as a genre. It deals with the phases of the creation of an interview and a brief history of it. Interviews with representatives of theatres are also part of the work and they reflect the current situation and focus on concepts defined in the theoretical parts. The aims is to create interviews that could be a part of cultural section of the mainstream media. Interviews are up-to-date and provide interesting information.

The power of two sample tests
Rózsahegyi, Dominik ; Maciak, Matúš (advisor) ; Komárek, Arnošt (referee)
Two-sample tests are one of commonly used statistical tools with which we make decisions if experimentally obtained data from different populations satisfy pre-specified statement. Suitability of using them could be dedicated by the power of test, which states for probability of rejection of invalid statement. The reader gets to know with terms of hypothesis testing which are necessary for introduction of tests. The second chapter introduce tests which could be used when analysed data are complete. If some observations are not exactly known, we call them censored and it is more suitable to use tests listed in the third chapter. We estimate the power for tests in simulations and observe its behavior with different conditions. 1

The power of two sample tests
Rózsahegyi, Dominik ; Maciak, Matúš (advisor) ; Nagy, Stanislav (referee)
Two-sample tests are commonly used in practice, for example in scientific sphere or financial sectors. The power of test is also an important feature and express probability that the test will reject invalid null hypothesis. In this work we introduce four basic tests in which we compare some parameters of two popu- lations. The reader gets to know with basic terms of hypothesis testing which are necessary for introduction of tests. For each test we use simulation for estima- tion of the power and observe its behavior with different distributions of samples, ranges or selected null and alternative hypothesis. Based on obtained results we compare chosen tests and discuss suitability for using them in different cases. 1

Searching of pedagogical alternatives - Waldorf School from parent´s point of view
ČERNOVSKÁ, Klára
The subject of my master thesis is alternative school education. The main aim is to describe the parent's motivation for choosing alternative school education, specficially Waldorf school education. In the theoretical part the most important concepts will be defined which will provide a deeper insight into the issue. The practical part is carried out using qualitative research methodology, especially semi-??/ unstructured interviews with parents. I will also use my own experiences of having worked at these schools.

SLOVAKIAN PROBE. Negotiation of local identity of alternative bands in Moravian Slovácko.
Svobodová, Veronika ; Jurková, Zuzana (advisor) ; Seidlová, Veronika (referee)
The goal of this musical anthropology qualitative research, mainly based on the field work, is to describe, analyze and interpret the process of construction of local identity of an alternative bands in Moravian Slovácko. The subject of this research are mainly two music bands from Slovácko - PSCrew and 12:PIET. PSCrew band represents hip-hop style and 12:PIET ranks among punk style bands. The musical production of these bands is defined (using an emic term) as an alternative folklore. With a use of theoretical concepts of stereotype and partially also retro and revival, I tried to demonstrate how these alternative musicians with an emphasis to their authenticity by the means of their musical spheres (so called soundscapes) pursue their notion of what is considered to be related to Slovácko and how the negotiation of their local identity is involved. For that the locally defined stereotypes are often used. These are typically recontextualized by its adaptation into the form that reflects the postmodern period.
