Dissolution of Czechoslovakia in 1992
Křivánek, Adam ; Lovaš, Karol (advisor) ; Gulda, Jana (referee)
My bachelor thesis deals with the dissolution of Czechoslovakia in 1992. Its main part is a radio podcast with a total length of twenty-five minutes and fifty-two seconds, and it aims to bring the complex subject matter to generations born after the events of the early 1990s. In the output, however, I do not only focus on events closely associated with this particular historical period. Instead, from the position of a narrator, based on the knowledge of a high school student, I go through the history of the Czech and Slovak Republics. In doing so, I am looking in particular for the causes and consequences of the dissolution. But in order to avoid plain and boring narrative, my speech is supplemented by numerous archive records and background music. In addition, the podcast is interspersed with answers to my questions from the relevant experts. In an interview recorded especially for this thesis, a historian clarifies key historical contexts and a former high-ranking politician outlines the moods that moved society at the time. A theoretical section also accompanies the work. One of its purposes is to explain what the term podcast means and why I have chosen this particular format. Another is to place the relations between the Czech and Slovak nations in the necessary historical context. Thus, the...

Radio portrait of an (un)ordinary person Marie Burešová
Kroa, Martina ; Gulda, Jana (advisor) ; Němcová Tejkalová, Alice (referee)
The main part of this practical bachelor thesis is a radio portrait. In the practical part, I portray the life of an (un)ordinary person, Marie Burešová, into a radio documentary lasting 45 minutes. The eighty-year-old contemporary witness born to a Czech-German family was fundamentally influenced by the collectivization of agriculture in the 1950s, and her life was determined by her decision to take over the family farm, which she made at the age of eighteen. The document alternates the statements of the respondent with the inputs of the author or questions and remarks made during the recording. The process of collecting not only the audio material could be compared to recording the life of a contemporary witness. The author recorded their conversations, her memories and opinions, in the village of Buková in Western Bohemia, where Marie Burešová spent her whole life. In the theoretical part the author defines individual journalistic and documentary and specifically radio genres, but also methods. Compares the portrait and medallion and also brings different approaches of various journalists to the genre interview as not only the basic method of journalistic work. Above all, she focuses on the portrait interview due to the nature of the practical part but also talks about programs and projects that...
