The Western Ideal of Beauty Portayed in Fashion Magazines and Its Influence on Vietnamese Women's Perception of Beauty
Tranová, Thi Viet Chinh ; Soukup, Martin (advisor) ; Ivanišová, Markéta (referee)
This bachelor thesis examines the impact of Western beauty standards portrayed in fashion magazines on Vietnamese women. The theoretical part provides insight into the phenomenon of beauty itself, which the author then places in the context of the media and the media's portrayal of idealized images. The thesis thus offers the most frequently repeated negative impacts on individuals who have been exposed to idealized images of beauty. The aim of this thesis was to explore the impacts of Western ideals of beauty on Vietnamese women, who differ from these standards due to their genetic and physiological predispositions. In this study a qualitative research method was used, in which thirteen Vietnamese women ranging in age from eighteen to thirty-seven were interviewed.

Fashion publicism on the Czech Radio in 2014

This bachelor thesis' objective is to look into the fashion journalism broadcast by the Czech Radio, which pursues fashion topics due to its broad thematic and cultural profile, specific for a public service medium. The thesis' results have not confirmed the assumption that the fashion entities with their primarily visual character can't be approached with the same textual and stylistic means on the radio, as they are in the print or online media. It has been demonstrated that the radio editors compensate the non- visual nature with the means such as telling the stories on designers and their creative efforts, analysis of socio-economical context of the fashion industry etc. Besides that, the editors use websites (including podcasts, pictures and video reports) and social networks to complement the sound recording with visual communication. The thesis also includes a case study that compares features about a specific fashion event of a national importance (the Prague Fashion Week of September 2015) on the radio, in the print an online. The case study has proven that the most complex feature on the event is the one by the Modeschau radio show on the Czech Radio's Radio Wave. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)
