Regions in the EU after the Lisbon Treaty
Štoková, Daniela ; Rovná, Lenka (advisor) ; Kadeřábková, Jaroslava (referee)
There is a constant trend in the European Union for heightened pride, desire of extended autonomy and even national independence of regions. The master thesis intends to investigate the relations of selected regions in the EU member states with the European policy level. The general research question to answer is "Which regions are more successful in representing their interests vis-à-vis the European policy level?" The investigation is undertaken in a form of a comparative case study combining qualitative and quantitative research; the examined regions are - following the research hypotheses and intention to provide a multi-perspective analysis of the problem - Scotland (United Kingdom), Hessen (Germany), Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol (Italy) and Středočeský kraj (Czech Republic). Based on the comparative analysis the thesis concludes that "regions with wide scope of powers on the national level (usually coming from federal or regionalized member states) with strong economic background are generally more successful in representing their interests vis-à-vis the European policy level."

Prague graffiti subculture - development and context
Hronešová, Lucie ; Štěpánová, Irena (advisor) ; Krupková, Jaroslava (referee) ; Kadeřábková, Jaroslava (referee)
Přestože neoficiální či nelegální nápisy, kresby a malby umístěné na místech veřejně přístupných jsou součástí našich měst již velmi dlouhou dobu, v poslední době se jejich jistá varianta i u nás rozšířila natolik, že se pro mnohé stala skutečnou obtíží. Pro etnologa zabývajícího se urbánní etnologií se stala fenoménem, který vyvolává čím dál více zvědavosti i profesionálního zájmu. Nesrozumitelnost těchto děl vede okolí k pocitu, že zde existuje jakýsi tajemný svět graffiti. Svým způsobem tomu tak je, pokud termínem "svět" označíme stejně jako Marc Augé "společenství, jež se podílejí na nějaké činnosti a navzájem sdílejí některé zvyky, vztahy a hodnoty." 1. Tento svět respektive tato subkultura a její vanace v českých podmínkách se stala předmětem mého zkoumání. Přestože subkultura graffiti se v Čechách začala utvářet před téměř patnácti lety, její etnologické zkoumání nemá u nás prakticky žádnou tradici.2 Tato práce je tedy v převážné míře založena na poznatcích dlouhodobého terénního výzkumu. Protože se domnívám, že psaním o subkultuře graffiti představuji čtenářům této práce nový "svět", je tomuto předpokladu přizpůsobeno uspořádání jednotlivých kapitol. Seznámení se slangem a část teoretických výsledků, které jsou opřeny jak o studium literatury tak o výsledky terénního výzkumu jsou prezentovány...
