Poldi Kladno Through The Eyes Of Collective Memory
Peřinová, Eliška ; Spalová, Barbora (advisor) ; Grygar, Jakub (referee)
My thesis is focused on the former steelworks Poldi Kladno that as the biggest and the most important local company used to have a significant influence on the developing of the city even in a sense of its social identity. My research has two main research objectives - to discover in what sense is the Poldi Steelworks incorporated into the collective memory of Kladno and its citizens, to determine what would be the preferred new purpose of the current brownfield area and what are its real possibilities. From the theoretical point of view, I mostly rely on Maurice Halbwachs' theory of the collective memory. Methodologically, I'm conducting a qualitative research mostly based on in-depth interviews with respondents representing certain memory groups. This thesis is divided into four main sections. In the first chapter I introduce the reader to a local context and to the history of Poldi Kladno. Following is a Theoretical Chapter discussing the theory of collective memory and its application for the purposes of my research and also the topic of brownfields and the use of public space. In the Methodological Chapter I describe my chosen methodology into details and in the Research Chapter I sum up the findings of my research and answer my research questions.

Visual memory of Knížecí Pláně
Novák, Ondřej ; Lábová, Alena (advisor) ; Turek, Pavel (referee)
In this bachelor thesis, I will attempt to describe and document a very important sociological issue in modern Czech history: expulsion of the German population from Czechoslovakia after the Second World War. The main method that I will be applying is visual sociology. Obtained knowledge from the research are classified in the historical and sociological context overlapped to the present. I have chosen specific time and place so that I can demonstrate issue of the expulsion of German population from the Czech borders area. I realize the extent of this issue and also that it is not possible to analyze the issue as a whole on dozen of pages. Still, I think that based on the findings of this research, readers will be able to imagine conclusions in a broader context and that this knowledge reader will be able to create an image of this issue in the present and its impact on the landscape and society. For the main part of this thesis I consider my photographs of the place, on which this work reports. On the basis of the theory of visual sociology, I consider these pictures the most important part of this work. On the basis of these photographs, the reader (or viewer) stores the information that is absorbed and his subjective perception of these images creates feel and the views of the problems with real...

The Film as a Reflection of the Social Situation (In the Perspective of Sociological Analysis)
Fikejzlová, Ivona ; Šubrt, Jiří (advisor) ; Sládek, Jan (referee)
The topic of this thesis is Film as a Reflection of the Social Situation (in the Perspective of Sociological Analysis). Its aim is to look at the issue of the film from a sociological point of view. This work consists of a theoretical and practical part. The theoretical part describes basic approaches to the film as they appeared during the 20th century in selected disciplines and sociology. Thus, the theory contains rather a basic overview of the possible starting-points for working with film. The next part of this work is a practical research project, which is dealing with a specific area of the Czech historical film in the late sixties of the 20th century. The aim of the second part is to link theoretical principles with their practical use in the sociological analysis of the film, which is set within the contemporary culture and the social context of the Czechoslovakia in the sixties of the 20th century. The practical part, in which four Czech historical films were analyzed, confirms the essential idea of this thesis - the film is the reflection of the social reality. Key words: media, film, sociological analysis, visual sociology, collective memory
