"Techno-communitas": Transformation of the Freetekno phenomenon from the perspective of Social and Cultural Anthropology
Beaufort, Martin ; Heřmanský, Martin (advisor) ; Jurková, Zuzana (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to provide a social anthropological analysis and interpretation of the freetekno party phenomenon in the Czech Republic from synchronic and diachronic perspective. The author bases his argument on both his own field research and professional literature on the topic. An extended case method serves as a basic methodological Framework. After introduction of selected theoretical concepts (music scene, neotribes, youth subculture, rites de passage, liminality and liminoidity, spontaneous communitas and rhizom) as well as outline of the current state of research in the area of study of the freetekno party phenomenon, there is an empirical part of the thesis which consists of two main parts: the historical-ethnographic and the analytical-interpretative. The first part describes the first rave party in Great Britain, expansion of this phenomenon in continental Europe, its adoption in the Czech Republic and its gradual evolution up to the present. The following part serves as an analytical-interpretation of the above-outlined situation and a subsequent socio-anthropological interpretation. Freetekno scene is described as neotribal rhizom and freetekno events are subsequently conceptualized as unique ritual processes. The transformation of the freetekno phenomenon is then...

The Transformation of Czech Freetekno Scene
Frantál, Daniel ; Oravcová, Anna (advisor) ; Moskvina, Yuliya (referee)
(in English) This thesis focuses on the research of a Czech music scene called Freetekno. The research was conducted with qualitative approach by using a combination of in-depth interviews with informants and participant field observation. The informants of the research are organizers and attendees of freeparties. The terrain of the fieldwork is represented by freeparties held in the Czech Republic during the year 2017 and at the beginning of the following year. Within the field of Czech music subcultures, freetekno scene exists for almost twenty-five years and this text focuses on the research of its transformation, which is facilitated through several transformational processes, including commercialisation; decriminalisation; professionalization; change of participants; transformation of drug situation; and transformation of the "spirit" of freeparties. These processes are not isolated; they mutually influence each other quite strongly. Together, the transformational processes form a network of influence, whose outcome is then the transformation of the scene itself.

Walpurgis Night phenomenon in contemporary Czech Republic
Novák, Adam ; Janeček, Petr (advisor) ; Štěpánová, Irena (referee)
The Bachelor thesis is focused on analysing an issue of celebrating Walpurgis Night in the Czech Republic, especially focusing on freetekno community and its ways of keeping this phenomenon alive. Main question of the thesis is: Can contemporary subculture keep a traditional calendar custom alive? As they are going through noticeable changes nowadays and freetekno community, as one of the youngest subcultures, returns to the roots of these customs in its own particular manner. Thesis contains three slightly different topics and tries to relate them to each other. The first part is a general description of a ritual in a context of role in society and its meaning for an individual. The second part is aimed on celebrating the Walpurgis Night in Czech territory especially from the nineteenth and twentieth century. The third part contains a brief summary of subculture studies and an introduction to freetekno subculture as a contemporary young community, which tends to rejuvenate an archaic form of rite. The conclusion describes the way freetekno subculture could help to keep the Walpurgis Night alive. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)
