Cathedral today
Rampáčková, Monika ; Mléčka, Jan (referee) ; Štěpán, Marek (advisor)
The master's thesis deals with famous Notre-Dame de Paris, which was destroyed by fire in 2019. The work focuses specifically on the design of completion of the construction. The cathedral is situated in the historical centre of Paris on the Île de la Cité. A lot of damage was caused to the building after the devastating fire on 15 April 2019. The aim of the thesis was to create a spiritual place that would maintain its past, but at the same time manage to follow ecological solutions in the present. The new design of the attic creates a sacred place, in which we realize the importance of faith and the peace of God. The cathedral is open to the general public ? religious people from all over the world come here to experience the love, joy and happiness that the cathedral invokes. The whole attic can be described as an open space, which symbolizes infinity or immortality from the religious point of view. It represents the connection of the past, present and future. The space is designed to hold priestly celebrations and to be open for the public. It can also be used for various events, such as exhibitions of sculptures that survived the fire.

Cathedral today
Král, David ; Mléčka, Jan (referee) ; Štěpán, Marek (advisor)
Theme of the thesis is a construction that is considered to be one of the most spectacular examples of a French gothic architecture. Notre-Dame Cathedral lies on the Eastern half of a Parisian island Île de la Cité on the river Seina. On April 15, 2019, roof of the cathedral caught on fire. It was completely destroyed, including its pinnacle. The thesis offers a solution how to restore the roof and what opportunities the new design brings. Aim of the proposal is enrichment of the Notre-Dame community through offering a new refuge, which will be for both, internal growth and spiritual practice itself. The design provides spaces that capture the path to God in them. I perceive the very path to God as a thorough inner work. That is why I am placing 36 contemplation booths in there, in addition to other 8 cabins. The light is removed from those, in order to extend the perception of consciousness. Spaces for individuals will be amended by 3 chapels for a group practice. Each chapel has its typical content - joint contemplation chapel, chapel that worships the Jesus Christ’s crown of thorns and a community chapel with a variable arrangement.

Remains of Internal Emigration
Sližová, Eva ; Polívková, Kamila (referee) ; Klímová, Barbora (advisor)
This diploma project has been gradually composed from performative applications of fragments of my poetry collection which is being written. It deals with the presentation possibilities of literary poetry by its author. Simultaneously it reflects the particulars of my poetry practise that is, amongst other things, strongly inspired by Vladimír Holan's inner emigration. Since I’m working with open material I’m not binding myself to a concrete goal/purpose.

Development of theological discourse at Dorothea Sölle
BALI, Kateřina
The presented work deals with the theological reflection of the ideas of Protestant, feminist theologian Dorothee Sölle, related to her work Mysticism and Resistance. The aim of this work is to reflect on the concepts of mysticism and resistance, while viewing mysticism and resistance in direct relation to Sölle's position within feminist liberation theology, i.e. attempting to place ideas about mysticism and resistance in the framework of her early theological thinking. With regard to Sölle's position within feminist theology, the work also deals with the question of how mysticism and resistance take on the future form of feminist liberation theology. The focus of this work, through the hermeneutic method, is mainly the reflection of the relationship between action and contemplation, standing at the core of mysticism and resistance. Against the background of Zimmerling's criticism of mysticism and resistance, primarily from the politicization of mysticism, the work tries to reflect on the relationship between mysticism and resistance, which is a relationship of radical correlation. Zimmerling's criticism seems justified in view of the focus on relationships within creation and the related transformation of man, instead of the relationship with God. In a certain respect, mysticism as resistance takes on the form of political mysticism, more precisely the mysticism of liberation. The reflection of mysticism as resistance raises questions about the "need" of the "contemplative dimension", which as a result can appear secondary. The work tries to find answers in Sölle's text, and that answer can be the reflection of aimless prayer, which is the "heart" of mysticism as resistance. Although Sölle emphasizes one aspect of the mystical relationship in particular - the transformation of man and the world, her goal is the unity of action and contemplation in in the form of the unity of mysticism and resistance. In her perspective, the relationship with God is not an isolated experience of an individual, but a reflection and at the same time a pattern of relationships within creation. Just as it does not separate action from contemplation, it does not separate the relationship between God and man and man and creation. As a result, Sölle's desire to find unity can be found in the background of this approach. It is precisely in the idea of mysticism as resistance, in the mysticism of open eyes, that the dialogical relationship of action and contemplation emerges, which is a mutual relationship. Action and contemplation are two sides of the same coin, i.e. one cannot exist without the other, and their harmony is a prerequisite (and consequence) of mysticism and resistance.

The Mystical path of St. Teresa of Jesus: reflection in the Czech environment since 1900 to the present
Bušková, Magda ; Sládek, Karel (advisor) ; Lorman, Jaroslav (referee)
Saint Teresa of Jesus, the Spanish mystic of 16th century and the Carmelite order reformer presents the doctrine of internal prayer and all its stages in her works based on own personal experience of life with the God. The intention of this work is to analyze Teresa's mystical path as a process of spiritual life with various stages of transformation. It will deal with what it means to be united with the God for the human life in Teresa's conception. It will also submit how Teresa's doctrine of mystical path has been reflected in the Czech environment since 1900 to the present, respectively by Czech authors and by foreign authors of whose works were translated into the Czech language. The work will be based on the concrete text of Interior Castle, in which Teresa represents the soul with number of dwelling places. The structure will be defined by single dwelling places, which are considered the ascetic and mystical stages of the prayer. The work itself, the Interior Castle, will be introduced together with the first to third ascetic dwelling places which had been the subject of previous bachelor's work. The mystical stages of the prayer, which are represented by fourth to seventh dwelling places, will create the main part of the thesis. The reflections of various authors are considered as the...
