Seeing Through and Back
Šindelková, Pavla ; Vaculíková, Pavla (referee) ; Mikyta, Svätopluk (advisor)
The aim of my work is to comment on the issue of narcissism, which is marked as an epidemic of our time. Narcissism is mostly psychological phenomenon and its generalization to society is difficult. In my preparatory studies on this topic within sociology, I could not find any solution, that would offer a change of position. In my attempt to achieve this, I went back to the original myth.

These works are further supplemented by literature on ancient Greek mythology and literary...

Česká, Michaela ; Hogenová, Anna (advisor) ; Rybák, David (referee)
Diese Diplomarbeit beschäftigt sich mit dem zeitgenössichen Trend des Körperkultes und mit dem Mythus der Schönheit, mit seinen biologischen und kulturell historischen Wurzeln. Ich versuche aufzuklären, warum die Schönheit in der heutigen Gesellschaft so geschlechtsbedingt ist. Und warum gerade die Frau mit dem schönen Geschlecht identifiziert wird.
