The representation of antiheroes in TV programmes for Children
Švarcová, Alžběta ; Jirák, Jan (advisor) ; Wolák, Radim (referee)
The thesis propounded below is based upon a presumption that one of the significant means of socialization is mass media. It represents a source of information since an early age of a child, constitute the models of a socially acceptable behaviour and depict the values and norms that are applicable to the society. In continuation to the ambiguous character of socialization, on one hand allowing an individual to integrate fully into the society, on the other hand, however, producing the present inequalities, the author enquires into the way how villains are portrayed in television cartoons, that is, those who violate these commonly accepted norms. In the theoretical part of the thesis the author builds predominantly on the sociological reflections of the character of the modern society, the character of socialization and social norms. In the chapters dealing with the socialization potential of media she employs primarily the modelling theory that stems from the more universal social learning theory. In the empirical part the author, using qualitative research, tries to describe how villains are portrayed in television cartoons and besides other statements, she proves that their world has a strictly dichotomic and exclude character. One of the outcomes of the thesis is a typology of villains who can...

The image of villain in the "building" drama
Smetanová, Barbora ; JANOUŠEK, Pavel (advisor) ; BOKOVÁ, Marie (referee)
This thesis focuses on the characters of villains in the genre of ?výrobní? drama
and drama of the village in years 1948 ? 1957. The content and form of a
?building? drama were firmly bond by strict standards that have been artificially
created so the drama could spread the ideology of communism and became a
tool of re-edcuation of the citizens of ČSR.
The topics of ?building? drama were closely tied to political campaigns, which led
to their transformation over time. It is interesting to follow this development. At
the same time there are plays containing the same topics, the same intensity of
the class conflict and the same type of the common enemy.
In addition to the distribution of the characters into thematically similar groups,
their description and their examples in drama, a majority of this thesis is devoted
to the history and description of drama genres of the time. This procedure
proved to be necessary to understand the development of characters and the
growing class conflict.
The bachelor thesis deals with the development of relatively short period of a
?building? drama, and it is through the characters of villains. It is somewhat of a
first step for a more detailed study of this poetics. The ?building? drama has
become almost forgotten form. It is understandable, given its schematism and
slant it wouldn't be now possible to stage it, perhaps only as a theater
experiment. As a reader with the knowledge of the historical development and,
above all, knowing the crimes committed by the Communist party, which during
the period studied reached their monstrous peak, I was not able to maintain the
required distance. I doubt that it would be possible to anyone during these days.
Still, I find exploring of this time and drama challenging, since only knowledge of
history can avoid repeating the same mistakes in the present.
