The Political Philosophy of Anarchism in Practice
Gavriněv, Vojtěch ; Charvát, Jan (advisor) ; Kučera, Jan (referee)
The anarchist movement in Spain is the best known attempt to establish a regime based upon the anarchist theory of individual freedom and mutuality. As it is hard to say whether the attempt was successful or not, this study focuses on particular institutions such as unions, cooperative farms, militias and local administrations and examines the rate of anarchist principles in their real functioning.

Little pieces of freedom. Individualization and Commodification in Hardcore-punk Subculture
Kumová, Petra ; Novák, Arnošt (advisor) ; Slačálek, Ondřej (referee)
The thesis is focused on the DIY principle that can be a catalyst for collectives and individuals aiming to emancipate (consciously or unconsciously) from individualization and commodification that is symptomatic for today's society. This principle is adopted by various subcultures, but I am focused particularly on the hardcore-punk subculture (or precisely said - counterculture), which ideology is based on the idea of non-consumer society emancipated from values, norms and rules, that are being introduced to us by the mainstream society and its power structures. The analytical part of the thesis is focused on particular individuals and collectives, their activities, motivation, as well as the internal functioning of collectives. A combination of methods of qualitative research, especially participant observation and semi- structured interviews, were used for data collection. Data was analyzed using open coding. The collectives show better ability to resist commodification based on long-term practices commonly used in hc-punk to resist to the process of individualization. Their ability to create communities and collective activities is limited. Key words individualization, commodification, hardcore-punk subculture, diy principle, colectives, anarchism

My bachelor thesis is focused on the topic of policitization of football fans. The subject of my research were fans of Slavia Prague football club, better known as Tribuna Sever (North Stand). The main goal of the research is to verify, If there is an ongoing trasformation of the group of fans, from apolitical organization into the unit with certain political view. First of all, the thesis offers the general view of the issue. After that it presents connection between the fans and politics, including some examples from the world and from The Czech republic as well. As I mentioned, the subject of the research was Tribuna Sever, which is an active core of fans.

The Religiosity of Russian Anarchism in the 19th Century and Petr Alexejevič Kropotkin
Zborníková, Andrea ; Sládek, Karel (advisor) ; Ventura, Václav (referee)
This thesis aims to analyse two very strong notions - Religiousness and Anarchism. We are used to comprehend these two notions as very different from one another, or even as two opposites. This thesis will show that even though we see Anarchism as Atheism, it is not always possible to exclude Religiousness from it. This fact will be shown as specifically Russian phenomenon. That is why it will be needed to explain broader context of Russian thought in the 19th century. Thesis will also aim to works of prince and anarcho-communist Peter Alexej Kropotkin where it will be possible to exemplify the strong inveteracy of Religiousness in Russian (Anarchist) thought and also the possibility of a dialog between these two notions. Keywords religious motives, religiosity, russian thinking, anarchism, anarchokomunism, spiritual thinking
