Pavelcová, Tereza ; Koudelková, Petra (advisor) ; Soukup, Martin (referee)
This diploma thesis is concerned with characteristics of evangelization in Czech media in the year 2015. On the basis of the turning points in Christian life in the 20th century, their key documents while being aware of the privatized spirituality in post-modern Europe, decline of institutional religion and a complete change in lifestyle this diploma thesis analyses the "communication strategy" of the church that should appeal to readers unaware of the Gospel message. The practical part of thesis has two sections. The content analysis quantifies the manifestations of the mission aim in chosen print and on-line media, such as selected journalistic genres, main and side themes, using headline rhetoric, visual element and also by references to Christian communities or by publishing contact details of spiritual authorities. The qualitative semiotic analysis of a smaller number of texts then constitutes paradigmatic models of print and on-line media based on most frequent codes and the focus on self- evangelization among the Christians themselves and to encourage them to spread the Gospel in many ways. Interviews with people, who work for church as communication specialists are attached to the diploma thesis. These specialists are often in contact with the outside world. Actual information about...

From monasteries to men. The significance of monastic architecture and its art in the New Spain of 16th century
Brenišínová, Monika ; Křížová, Markéta (advisor) ; Štěpánek, Pavel (referee) ; Marek, Pavel (referee)
In my dissertation, I inquire into the phenomenon of monastic architecture and its plastic decoration in 16th century New Spain. The aim of this work is to present Mexican monasteries and their artistic significance. In my analysis, I build on the interpretation of monastic architecture from the perspective of early colonial society, I also reflect on the individual level, assessing its impact on the conquest and colonization of America. The methodology of this research project combines analysis of historical (e.g. study of historical sources) and art historical processes (iconological analysis of E. Panofsky) with analysis of anthropological concepts (e.g. rituals of transition of A. van Gennep, thick description of Cl. Geertz, concepts of liminality, structure and communitas of V. Turner). During my PhD studies, I conducted a field trip in Central Mexico (2013), supported by a grant from the Government of Mexico. I visited and documented one hundred and sixteen monasteries and the photographic documentation is the main empirical source of my analysis which further draws from the study of historical sources and academic literature. My research primarily focuses on three aspects: 1. the monastic architecture and art; 2. the role of the monastery in the process of European conquest and colonization...

Vystavěl, Kamil ; Filipi, Pavel (advisor) ; Beneš, Ladislav (referee)
Evangelization in the Conception of Tomáš Halík. The thesis is directed at the term of evangelization and at Halík's understanding of it. The contributions collected and sorted from his books provide a look into his thoughts about essential elements of the evangelization and about ways of evangelization nowadays. The thesis is divided into four chapters. The first chapter contains a short presentation of the evangelization from several other sources. It shows that the Halik's conception is in certain degree polemic with some present ways of evangelization that result from the misunderstanding of the term. The following chapter includes analysis of the Czech society where the Gospel is to be proclaimed. This chapter also contains some various contributions showing that the evangelization manifests itself on different levels by different ways. The basis for all these ways is relationship of Christian love to other people. The third chapter is about preconditions that make possible this Christian love. It is primarily faith but faith in a very specific meaning. This faith is also the aim of the evangelization. The last chapter sums up the Halík's conception of the evangelization and at the conclusion the author of the thesis presents and evaluates some of the Halík's emphasises that he regards as especially...
