Social theater as a path to active citizenship
Boučková, Markéta ; Moree, Dana (advisor) ; Šťovíčková Jantulová, Magdaléna (referee)
The thesis aims to study how civic actors of the theatre of the oppressed and playback theatre actively seek social change. It also examines how these methods differ and what their mechanisms are. The research sample includes 5 actors of theatre of the oppressed and 5 actors of playback theatre. Semi-structured interviews were used as the research method, using open coding as the analysis method. The main finding is that Theatre of the Oppressed functions primarily through the actors' awareness of their own oppression and their search for solutions to social problems through interactions with the audience. Playback theatre also draws primarily on audience interactions, but these are predominantly based on emotional connection and active listening. The difference in methods, then, is that theatre of the oppressed provides actors with reflection on their own experiences and validation from other members of the group; the audience's reactions to the performance and search for a common solution subsequently reinforce efforts for social change.

The change of approach to death, view on death in society through the eyes of gravediggers
Doňková, Eva ; Řezáčová, Vendula (advisor) ; Cirklová, Jitka (referee)
West society development is really fast. Whole culture evolution signifies changes of life style and priorities. One of these changes is also different approach to death and perception of mortality. In this work I'll try to outline changes in society in connection with perception of death. First I'll mention historical context of these issues and also the different priorities of society, mainly the option to choose funeral in the culture context. Whole work should point on human approach to death and mortality in connection with society and culture. This is one of the reasons I choose three gravediggers to make an interview with. The interview had three main zones. In first zone is important general view on functioning of graveyards and gravediggers. Next part is view of gravediggers on death in our society. The emphasis is placed in their view on society and society's relation to death and mortality. Gravediggers have really specific profession so last part is dedicated to their personal view on these issues. Work should bring a new view on society's approach to these issues mainly through the eyes of gravediggers. And it should show the gradual development as well. This development stands behind current approach.
