A media discussion about rebuilding the Marian collumn at the Oldtown square in Prague
KLÍMA, Matouš
The aim of the thesis is to analyze the media debate regarding the reconstruction of the Marian Column in Prague's Old Town Square, particularly focusing on its broader political implications. Utilizing methods of critical discourse analysis, primarily the so-called discursive-historical approach (Wodak 2001, Wodak and Reisigl 2009), a comprehensive qualitative analysis of selected texts from two prominent discourse coalitions - proponents of the reconstruction and their opponents - will be conducted. The thesis will concentrate on fundamental discursive strategies (Wodak et al. 2009: 31n) and will describe the dynamics of discourse and its connections to other textual domains. It will also include a detailed analysis of all texts through situational anchoring and its own semantic analysis.

Between Heaven and Earth
Nečesal, Marek ; Ryška, Zbyněk (referee) ; Mléčka, Jan (advisor)
The thesis focuses on the concept of reusing empty rectories. Besides proposing revitalization plans for three buildings, the analytical part also examines the development of parish typology, exploring the influences and historical events that led to their current state. It analyzes over 60 buildings to investigate current reuse practices and uses statistical indicators to forecast the development of this typology. The analysis concludes with establishing basic principles for sustainable reuse of empty rectories. These principles are then applied in the design section to three different buildings in the Žďár Deanery, selected to match the varying character of the surrounding urbanism. The first rectory is located in Horní Bobrová in the middle of the square, the second building is in Štěpánov nad Svratkou within street development, and the last object stands on the edge of the village of Strážek. The search for a new possible concept for each building was based not only on site analyses but also on firsthand surveys of all buildings including adjacent agricultural structures, analysis of the local parish, and interviews with parishioners. Ultimately, a unique solution enabling sustainable operation was chosen for each site, some of which have been empty for more than two decades.

Proměny členské základny Českobratrské církve evangelické v 21. století a její příčiny
HAVLENA, Filip
The work focuses on secularization in the 21st century. In particular, it will focus on the Czech Brethren Evangelical Church, where the decline of believers in recent years has been particularly pro-apparent. The aim of the thesis will be to analyse the transformation of the Evangelical Church in the 21st century. The hypothesis of the thesis will be that the younger the generation, the more secular it is, using statistical data. Gender in the secularization process will also be an issue. The basic method of the thesis will be textual analysis of sources. Where the secondary literature is for a general orientation of the issue, but also the press and the website of the church under analysis, if there are not enough texts in these sources dedicated to content analysis, there will be qualitative research - interviews with several church members, who will be given pseudonyms. The introductory part will focus specifically on secularization as such, and on its historical context, as well as on the social transformation that secularization has brought about.
