Břízová, Iva ; Jirák, Jan (advisor) ; Cebe, Jan (referee)
In her diploma thesis titled "Depiction of the figure of judge in selected Czech media", the author aims to analyse what levels of representation are used to depict the figure of a judge in selected Czech series. The selected five figures of judges are described on the basis of their physical description, roles in society, behaviour and relationships by which their character is co-created. The author focused mainly on stereotypes, which were used to depict the figures. Part of the analysis of the figures of judge is their classification into the category of heroes or villains according to the typology of figures by Brian McNair. Also utilized are the typology of figures by E.M. Forster and Seymour Chatman. The media's depiction of the judges in selected series is positive. At the level of representativeness, it influences the perception of the institution of courts, which are shaped by the depiction of the judicial profession. 1

Jonáčková, Lucie ; Reifová, Irena (advisor) ; Bednařík, Petr (referee)
The diploma thesis titled Gender aspects in communication of sport events: Case study of medialization of the Gabriela Koukaová's and Jaromír Jágr's absence from the XXIII. Olympic Winter Games is focused on communication aspects of the Czech biathlonist Gabriela Koukalová and hockey player Jaromír Jágr in relation to their gender. The theoretical frame which introduces the reader to the concept of gender itself and the characteristics of the Czech society and local sporting environment is followed by the practical part composed by analysis of the two concrete cases. The poststructural qualitative discoursive analysis has been chosen as an analytical tool. By using such tool the author analyses the proclaims by the sportsman and sportswoman precisely on the social media, the reaction of the public to these statements and the overall mediatization in chosen media. The complex case study conclusion summarizes identified trends which are present throughout the analyzed data. Some of the defined trends might in the context of the Czech environment be strengthening the observed patriarchal social system.

Nainová, Victoria ; Vochocová, Lenka (advisor) ; Bednařík, Petr (referee)
The master thesis is focusing on the representation of suicides and self-mutilation in American production movies and television in the year 1999-2019. The thesis aims to find out, how are these phenomena shown and with whom popular culture connects them. The theoretical part is dealing with social and media construction of reality, stereotype, stigmatization, and clearing the concepts and definitions of phenomena. For better understanding this part also includes a short presentation of socially deviant behavior since examined phenomena are part of it. The analysis was made based on qualitative content analysis and completed with short quantitative analysis for sociodemographic comparison with available real data. The sample contains 23 motion pictures as are films and series. Based on them and with processes of grounded theory the coding was done, typology was made and pointed out findings with whom American production connects these phenomena and how they represent them in popular culture. Those findings are important for their relations to media construction of reality as non-experts can perceive the way it is represented for their own.
