The Transformation of Czech Freetekno Scene
Frantál, Daniel ; Oravcová, Anna (advisor) ; Moskvina, Yuliya (referee)
(in English) This thesis focuses on the research of a Czech music scene called Freetekno. The research was conducted with qualitative approach by using a combination of in-depth interviews with informants and participant field observation. The informants of the research are organizers and attendees of freeparties. The terrain of the fieldwork is represented by freeparties held in the Czech Republic during the year 2017 and at the beginning of the following year. Within the field of Czech music subcultures, freetekno scene exists for almost twenty-five years and this text focuses on the research of its transformation, which is facilitated through several transformational processes, including commercialisation; decriminalisation; professionalization; change of participants; transformation of drug situation; and transformation of the "spirit" of freeparties. These processes are not isolated; they mutually influence each other quite strongly. Together, the transformational processes form a network of influence, whose outcome is then the transformation of the scene itself.

The beginnings of clubbing in Prague
Kazdová, Darina ; Vaněk, Miroslav (advisor) ; Houda, Přemysl (referee)
This piece of work was meant to be countinuous to my bachelor's thesis. In that essay I was dealing with the history of Czech electronic dance music in general. This time I focused just on Prague and surrounding area. The Czech capital was deeply influenced by presence of tourists. After the Velvet revolution, they were suddenly able to visit Prague. And as they they were already familiar with electronic music, they could help to spread it here. The situation in Prague is also compared with the rest of the world (western civilization). In the first part of the essay, I describe the qualitative research and the method I have used, which is the oral history. I also enclose a brief vocabulary of frequently used terms that are not very well known to the greater audience, I suppose. The last part is the analysis of the interviews itself. The interviews were done with important narrators.
