Women as a Contemporary Lyrics Authors
Čížková, Karla ; Hník, Ondřej (advisor) ; Hausenblas, Ondřej (referee)
The main aim of this thesis is to provide the reader with the overview of the work of female authors of lyrics and show the topics they are mainly interested in. The partial aim is to find out if some specific female topics and specific female expression and language exist. The core of the work is commented antology of texts. There are included texts of authors who are authors of music and interprets concurrently, who have been working in ten last years and released at least one CD. I come to the conclusion that women are writing mostly about partner relationships, love as a special kind of emotion, family and maternity and also their own position in world, faith and sexuality. Typical of female authors is that they view at the things as if men could not understand the same topics. Specific is also language of female authors and motives they use as the means of expression: they are particulary delicate and tender images and metaphores, intuitive and playful puns. In some texts women try to oppose the stereotype of women putting the text into typicaly mens ambience and using "mens" dictionary.

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.

Thesis "Media coverage of band Dog Soldiers (Psí vojáci) between years 1979 and 2013" shows the change of cultural environment as well as the differences between the normalization press and the magazines after 1989. Diversity of media system describes work primarily through oral history research based on testimonies of direct history participants and people associated with the group Dog Soldiers and alternative music scene. Band was situated between underground and alternative culture, so its position cannot be easily set. As it cannot find any similar interpret of the same genre. The unique position made Dog Soldiers an alternative music scene's symbol of post-Communist period. The descriptive and comparative perspective also serves to fulfill the set goals, which makes it possible to compare the functionality of official and samizdat or exile periodicals at the time of normalization and nationwide newspapers and music magazines in later more active period of the group.
