Brummer, Martin

The psychobiographical study applies qualitative methods to gather and interpret the data. Secondary literature, primarily two monographs (Pernes, 1997; Vytlačil, 1993) and several other studies, constitutes the first source of data. The compiling biography of Moravec based on the analysis of the secondary sources was written and attached to the addendum of the dissertation. Books written by Moravec or transcriptions of the speeches of Moravec within the years 1918 and 1943 were the second main source of the data. The total of page of analyzed books amounts to over 4000. The investigation of sources was based on the method of desk research using selective and axial coding. As a result the main categories were established, to which following theories were applied: a) depth psychology of Donald Winnicott and Karen Horney; b) narrative analysis of Dan McAdams and Kevin Murray; c) cultural-historical activity theory of Yrjö Engeström.

The interpretation of film narrative in the works of Alejandro González Iňárritu
Juřenová, Nikola ; Klabíková Rábová, Tereza (advisor) ; Štoll, Martin (referee)
The presented master thesis explores the interpretation of film narrative in the works of the Mexican film director Alejandro González Iñárritu. Through a narrative analysis of seven feature films, including Amores Perros, Babel, and Bardo - False Chronicle of Handful of Truths, I will explore the director's distinctive approach to the construction of film narrative. The analysis includes aspects of narrative logic and temporal manipulation to identify recurring patterns and narrative devices used in Iñárritu's works. The theoretical part briefly introduces the director and anchors his position in the context of modern Mexican cinema. The methodological part of the work is based on the film theories of David Bordwell and Seymour Chatman. These are later supplemented by the theories of Charles Ramírez Berg and other authors, focusing on complicated narratives. The analytical part of the thesis examines the use of narrative technique, thematic motives, and socio-political contexts present in his films. Since the non-linear form of the story is not the only specific element of his work, I will also focus on a chronological examination of his filmography and artistic development in the time period 1983-2023. The findings of this analysis contribute to a deeper understanding of Iñárritu's directorial...

The Ecological Impacts of the Decline of Local Media: Climate Action, Perceptions of Climate Tractability, and Media Consumption in Scotland
Boyd-Madsen, Louis ; Neag, Annamária (advisor) ; Turková, Kateřina (referee)
The climate crisis is widely seen to necessitate global action from citizens across the spectrums of power in society. Previous research has highlighted how community integration, collectivist values, social trust, and knowledge of local routes to action are all seen as enabling factors in encouraging civic engagement with 'larger-than-self' problems like climate change. These factors have also been tied to the presence and quality of localised media. Focused on the country of Scotland, this thesis sought to understand how the quality and localisation of consumed climate journalism affects readers' climate beliefs, climate actions, and cultural orientation. Through a survey (n=104) gathering data on Scottish respondents' values, climate beliefs, climate actions, and media consumption - and a quantitative narrative analysis of the climate narratives present in the outlets respondents described themselves reading (n=227 articles) - this thesis suggests that the quality of climate journalism consumed does correlate with greater climate action, but that it is local climate media that more greatly facilitates civic action. The findings of this thesis could add to the discourse surrounding the media industry's response to the decline of local media outlets, and the climate movements solutions to the...

Kaiserová, Daniela ; Nečas, Vlastimil (advisor) ; Groman, Martin (referee)
The diploma thesis is devoted to the analysis of the Czech scene of news podcasts, with a focus on their categorization and analysis of the narratives used. In news, they play the role of tools, thanks to which it is possible to use the technique and structures known from the literature, and thus create more attractive content for the audience. The work is divided into two main parts. In the theoretical introduction, the terms podcast and podcasting are defined. Podcasting is, for this work, defined as a medium that is suitable for the distribution of audio content via RSS channels. This is followed by a presentation of selected foreign studies that lay the theoretical foundation for the practical part of the work. To fulfill the objectives of the work, the practical part of the work is divided into quantitative analysis and content analysis of narratives. First, popular Czech news podcasts and their producers are categorized using quantitative analysis. Subsequently, attention is paid to a detailed analysis of narratives in selected news podcasts with a focus on identifying narrative techniques and their influence on the form of news content.

The Boook of Ruth: Narrative Analysis of the Text
Kreutziger, Kamil ; Beneš, Jiří (advisor) ; Roubalová, Marie (referee)
The conclusion of this thesis brings an understanding of the deeper meaning of the book of Ruth and its role in the lives of God's followers. The application of the tools of narrative analysis clearly showed that on the background of Naomi and Ruth's deeply human story unfolds another one. It is the story of the Lord who is invisibly directing events and human destinies to present and reveal the work and mission of his Messiah to the whole mankind. The main characters in the story provide an eloquent example of faith to follow and in a very plastic way imply the role of the Redeemer. Thus the story builds up faith of people in the Lord and prepares them to recognize and accept his Messiah. And this may be the mission and function of the book of Ruth in the biblical canon.

Štěpánková, Lucie ; Bílek, Petr (advisor) ; Švelch, Jaroslav (referee)
This diploma thesis deals with intertextuality in Game of Thrones series from the academic perspective. The thesis presents a comprehensive summary of selected intertexts including their classification according to the different types of semantic connection. The theoretical frame is based on the theoretical approaches of leading intertextuality theorists in literature and culture in general. In addition, it reflects the position of Game of Thrones series in the cultural mainstream, both in regards of its popularity and dissapointment of viewers over the final series. Based on national and international critical reviews, this diploma thesis analyzes the genre changes in Game of Thrones and focuses especially on the shared features with the soap opera genre. The fantasy genre specifics and its possible influence on reality is also briefly described. The methodological part summarizes the analytical tools and formulates research questions. According to the different types of semantic connection, the analysis is divided into three parts: the referential intertextulity (the connection to history), the intertextuality between texts (the connection to other works of culture) and the inner intertextuality (the connection to other elements inside the series). The first part of the analysis describes...
