The late socialist Czechoslovak ethnography and folklore studies and its influence on the Czech tradition of sociocultural anthropology after 1989
 Balaš, Nikola ; Bittnerová, Dana (advisor) ; Janeček, Petr (referee) ; Woitsch, Jiří (referee)
This thesis is an attempt to provide an account of the late socialist discipline of Czechoslovak ethnography and folklore studies and provide a basis for understanding of ethnography's post socialist transformation into anthropology and ethnology. The main theoretical framework of the thesis is the critical sociology of science of Pierre Bourdieu. The thesis focuses especially on two ethnography institutions - the Department of Ethnography and Folklore Studies at Charles University in Prague and the Prague branch of the Institute for Ethnography and Folklore Studies of the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences in the late socialist period, which covers the 1970s and 1980s. Apart from providing some intellectual dimension of ethnography, the thesis aims to uncover other dimensions of ethnographers' practices such as research methods, language competences, writing habits, academic hierarchies or attitudes to mutual criticism. The thesis argues that whereas ethnography as a label disappeared in the 1990s, ethnographers' practices continued to shape the nascent Czech anthropology and ethnology. The thesis makes an intensive use of ethnographers' scholarly writings, interviews with former ethnographers and also uses some documentary evidence and secondary literature as its sources.

Sociologists and their selfreflection during the Great Depression in Western society
 Bártová, Berenika ; Balon, Jan (advisor) ; Hanzal, Petr (referee)
Tato práce je koncipována jako historická studie a příspěvek k dějinám sociologie. Mým cílem je představit postoje a argumenty, které sociologové formulovali ve vztahu k jejich vlastní schopnosti odhalit příčiny krizí společnosti a komunikovat je ve vztahu k veřejnosti. Práce se zaměřuje na sebereflexi osobností oboru primárně v krizovém období spojovaném s Velkou hospodářskou krizí. Cílem je ukázat, jaké motivy se v postojích, vyjádřeních a argumentech sociologů objevují, popřípadě jak se proměnila sebereflexe oboru ve vztahu k jeho možnostem a schopnostem reprezentovat zřetelný hlas mezi zástupci ostatních oborů.
