Nature as Myth
Charvát, Jakub ; Češka, Jakub (advisor) ; Skovajsa, Marek (referee)
What exactly do we mean by "nature"? What do people expect from "nature"? And how has our understanding of it changed? The M.A. thesis "Nature as Myth", using Barthe's two-tiered system of signs and myths as a methodological tool, attempts to answer these questions through an examination of various historical and literary sources. The thesis has a chronological structure, consisting of four parts: 19th century, 1918-1938, 1938-1989, and from 1989 until the present. It focuses on fiction, memoir, and the history of "back to nature" movements. It also deals with environmental and aesthetic issues. The last section touches on the representation of nature in advertisement. The thesis will demonstrate that in all four of the time periods the most common depiction of nature is as a place of escape - both literally and figuratively. key words: nature, hiking, tramping, scouting, woodcraft, recreation in the cabins and cottages, ecology

Rural tourism of selected regions in the South Bohemia
PUMPROVÁ, Michaela
I describe a rural tourism in Soběslav and Veselí region in this diploma work. A reason why I chose this subject matter of the diploma work was an understanding and analysis of present rural tourism in these regions. I think that this form of tourism is not preferred and developed in this destination. But this destination has good conditions for a developing of the rural tourism, which is popular between tourists. I made the analysis of the rural tourism and itś developing in this work. I tried to uncover itś problems and perspectives. A goal of this work was a presenting of these regions as a popular destination of many czech and foreign tourists. I have an opinion that suggestions in this work can give advice to businessmen in the rural tourism, how they can attract touristś attention and which places are the most interesting. Other goal of this work was suggesting of effectual steps, which help to improve promotion of the rural tourism in these regions.
