Everyday life in Moruš
Martínková, Tereza ; Kandert, Josef (advisor) ; Kotík, Michal (referee)
Thesis "Everyday life in Moruš" deals with everyday life in a small border village on the edge of the Bohemian Forest (Český les). The main focus is on gainful and ennobling brigades in the village and events associated with them. Included is a volunteer fire department, fire teachers' lounge/ pub, carnival entertainment, children's day and maypole. Thesis is based on the literature about anthropological and ethnographic research dealing with everyday life and dividing population on "old-timers" and "newcomers" as it is in theory of Norbert Elias. The practical part is based on qualitative research, complemented by ethnographic methods. Research is using participant observation and semi-structured interviews, which are the ground for the analysis of connections between activities and also influence of participation or non-participation on the perception of individuals given by other villagers. At the same time, the study is posing a question whether there is some importance in being active during social and cultural events, which would project to the life of the villagers. Whether they are somehow stigmatized and judged by other villagers for their absence.
