Other chapters deal with the precarization of work, a phenomenon during which permanent jobs are replaced by precarious work dependent on part-time and one-off activities, which is central to the Czech and global cultural journalism and its understanding.

Pukovcová, Klára ; Osvaldová, Barbora (advisor) ; Novotný, David Jan (referee)
Practical bachelor thesis Česká travesti scéna- soubor rozhovorů documents the Czech drag and travesti subculture.

The practical part consists of five journalistic interviews that capture the experiences of Czech drag and travesti artists. In semi-structured interviews, the artists talk about their own experiences or the challenges they face.

City and dance culturer: prague rave scene - a series of interviews
Patočková, Tereza ; Hroch, Miloš (advisor) ; Lovaš, Karol (referee)
Practical bachelor thesis - City and dance culture: Prague rave scene - a series of journalistic interviews, documents the relationship between the segment of Prague dance culture - rave scene and the city, as a physical space that provides a refuge. The work seeks ways to ensure the sustainability of an important part of the scene - rave open air events, so-called warehouse parties. It is these events that are the most vulnerable part of the dance culture, as they depend on open urban locations, which are declining due to advancing gentrification. However, warehouse events are also threatened by the stance of city authorities, which in many cases decide whether or not to lend urban space to these events. The intention of this work is fulfilled by documenting the statements of the respondents, who were selected for the series on the basis of their relationship to the topic. The interviews mediate different perspectives on the topic of urban space and dance culture, which in turn provide a comprehensive picture of the possibilities that could lead to greater sustainability and stability of the scene in all its complexity. The theoretical part of the work approaches the historical context of rave culture and at the same time places it in the current framework of society and city life.
