Kubeczka, Aleš ; Znoj, Milan (advisor) ; Velek, Josef (referee) ; Hrubec, Marek (referee)
The autor aims to specify Michael Walzer's place in the discussion between the liberals and the communitarians in the first part of the work and then to define particular levels of the debate. This task of course reflects both secondary literature and Walzer's own understanding of his part in it. In the second part of the work the author tries to describe possible ways (three paths) of social criticism in the conception of Michael Walzer and deals with its features. The author claims that Walzer's concepton of social criticism suffers of inner inconsistency. Then the author tries to clarify the main critic's arguments and tries to find new ways of argumentation about social criticism. So as the author deals with hermeneutical interpretation and reflects its potential and limits (in the third part of the work). The fourth part of the work interprets Walzer's conception of social criticism with respect to cathegories of power, history and membership. One of the key concept in the grounds of Walzer's conception is concept of shared meanings. Then the author tries to point out some one-sidedness of Walzer's concept and deals with Walzer's conception of the tolerantion and criticism of foreing political communities.

Czech pupils' map skills: pupils of vatious age comparison
Hanus, Martin ; Marada, Miroslav (advisor) ; Řezníčková, Dana (referee) ; Herber, Vladimír (referee)
Mapové dovednosti českých žáků: porovnání různých věkových skupin 3 Abstract The present study deals with, in Czechia, still poorly investigated topic, namely the level of map skills of pupils of different age groups. Specifically, the thesis is concerned with map skills of pupils aged 11, 15 and 18 years, so pupils at the end of the first, second and third education level. Selection of pupils of these ages allows us to compare map skills with the requirements for pupil performance contained in the official curricula. Firstly, there are map skills defined. Subsequently, an analysis of Czech curricula was made. Then the results were compared with the results of the analysis of curricula of Slovakia, Finland and the U.S.A. to assess the concept of map skills in these documents. The results of this comparative analysis show that the Czech curricula in terms of map skills requirements indicate some randomness and lack of clear, legible concept of their development at different levels of education. Using results of this analysis, core map skills were identified - the ability to locate objects on the map, to use map as a source of information and to create maps. The following research was aimed at the first two groups of map skills. A level of pupils' map skills was observed using a map skill test that was...

The world of Harry Potter translated into Czech and Slovak
Miššíková, Martina ; Josek, Jiří (advisor) ; Podaný, Richard (referee)
This study provides a description of the translation techniques applied to the translation of culturally significant phenomena in the Harry Potter series into Czech and Slovak. The analysis extends to the first three boo ks of the Harry Potter series by British author J. K. Rowling and their translations into Czech and Slovak. The theoretical framework is derived from the views of Finnish scholar R. Oittinen (2000) on the translation of children's literature; the translation techniques used to analyze the translations are taken from Molina&Albir (2002). Chapter 1 discusses Harry Potter from the point of view of literary theory. It reviews the different traditions (Anglo-American, Czech, Slovak) in defining and describing fantasy literature and fantasy for children. In the Czech and Slovak literary contexts, there is a tendency to view works similar to Harry Potter as fairy tales with fantastic elements. Chapter 2 reviews the field of translation studies with respect to translation of children's literature. It develops the thesis introduced by the skopos theory which views changes as an inherent part of the trans lati on proces s. Hence, in children' s literature, the changes needed to accommodate the target language reader are considered part of the translator' s strategy and a sign of the translator' s...

Problematics of Creole languages: example of Capverdian Creole
Pelant, Matyáš ; Tláskal, Jaromír (referee) ; Jindrová, Jaroslava (advisor)
Hlavním tématem této diplomové práce je problematika kreolštin portugalského základu - jejich vymezení vzhledem k ostatním jazykům a hlavně jazyku základu - portugalštině. Ukázali jsme, že tendencí moderní lingvistiky je vnímant kreolštiny obecně jako samostatný jazykový systém. Studium teoretických prací nám ukazuje výjimečnost kreolštin, zejména při jejich vzniku, a představuje nám rozsáhlou terminologii, která tyto jazyky popisuje. Právě proto, že je někdy obtížné z čistě jazykového hlediska určit přesný rozdíl mezi pidžinem a kreolštinou, zdá se nám základní terminologie kreolistiky pro popis kreolštin nezbytná. Kreolštiny portugalského základu, které jsme představili, jsou stále významné, zejména v africké oblasti. V Asii jsme byli svědky dekreolizace či vymizení kreolštin. Také jsme ukázali, že se jedná o velmi rozsáhlou oblast, která nabízí mnoho témat nejen pro kreolistiku, jazykovědu jako takovou a její pro příbuzné obory (hlavně sociolingvistika), ale i pro historii (historie osídlování, otrokářského systému, vztah jazyka a historie apod.) či etnologii Gazykjako významná charakteristika komunit). Na příkladu kabuverdianu jsme sledovali jednotlivé rysy, které jsou typické pro kreolské jazyky. Srovnávali jsme její systém s portugalštinou, protože se jedná o jazyk, se kterým je kabuverdianu stále v...

In my thesis I am focusing on the issue of marketing communication tools in the area of non-profit organizations dealing with social services. The thesis is divided into two parts; the first one is theoretical and there are explained basic terms, legal framework and contemporary situation in the non-profit sector in the Czech Republic. Last but not least, in this part I am trying to evaluate the most suitable marketing communication strategies for the development of social services and the improvement of their quality through non-profit organizations. The second part is focused on a practical analysis of marketing activities of the citizen-action public Camino. Its goal is to arrange information and create special cultural and educational programs for aurally handicapped. The aim of the case study is to apply theoretical preconditions on a particular citizen-action public. This enables me to connect theoretical and practical knowledge relating to this issue. I am trying to suggest possible improvements and create a new marketing conception for this association.
