Waking Up from Neoliberal Totality? How We Invented a City in Which Nothing Can Be Created.
Moskvina, Yuliya ; Blokker, Paulus Albertus (advisor) ; Kuřík, Bohuslav (referee) ; Polanska, Dominica (referee)
Práce líčí příběh Autonomního sociálního centra Klinika v Praze. V práci zkoumám gramatiky veřejného sporu o městský prostor. Práce začíná úvodem do hlavních teorií používaných při studiu kolektivního jednání v městském prostoru - teorie sociálních hnutí, teorie prefigurace a přímé akce a teorie městských hnutí, primárně v SVE. Místo těchto přístupů nabízím ontologicky, epistemologicky a metodologicky aparát pragmatické sociologie kritiky a zkoumám veřejné spory o zmíněný sociální centrum. Aktéry, kteří ve sporu o město participovali byli státní zaměstnanci, české autonomní hnutí a pražští komunální političky. Na analyzovaném případu můžeme zkoumat gramatiky, které tyto aktéři používají, když mluví o městě, a zároveň vnitřní rozpory samotných aktérů, taktiky nadvlády a odporu k ni. Abstract The thesis recounts the story of the Autonomous Social Center Klinika in Prague. As such, it presents an opportunity to explore the grammars of public dispute about urban space. The thesis starts with an introduction to the main theories used in studying contention-social movement studies, the theories of prefiguration and direct action, and urban movements studies. These three branches are alternated with the pragmatic sociology of critique as an ontologically, epistemologically, and methodologically novel...

The Transformation of Czech Freetekno Scene
Frantál, Daniel ; Oravcová, Anna (advisor) ; Moskvina, Yuliya (referee)
(in English) This thesis focuses on the research of a Czech music scene called Freetekno. The research was conducted with qualitative approach by using a combination of in-depth interviews with informants and participant field observation. The informants of the research are organizers and attendees of freeparties. The terrain of the fieldwork is represented by freeparties held in the Czech Republic during the year 2017 and at the beginning of the following year. Within the field of Czech music subcultures, freetekno scene exists for almost twenty-five years and this text focuses on the research of its transformation, which is facilitated through several transformational processes, including commercialisation; decriminalisation; professionalization; change of participants; transformation of drug situation; and transformation of the "spirit" of freeparties. These processes are not isolated; they mutually influence each other quite strongly. Together, the transformational processes form a network of influence, whose outcome is then the transformation of the scene itself.

"Pole dance teaches femininity, but it can be incredibly masculine": A gender analysis of the pole dance phenomenon
Čákorová, Marie ; Soares Moura, Eva (advisor) ; Moskvina, Yuliya (referee)
In sport, as in society, men and women face different expectations related to their gender roles. This also applies to pole dance, which is a sport dominated by women and is generally perceived as feminine. In recent years, however, it has become more and more popular among men. As a result, ingrained stereotypes about the presence of men in pole dance, and about the sport itself, are possible to change. Nevertheless, what is the relationship between gender and the self-presentation of dancers, and to what extent are they themselves involved in reinforcing, reproducing, and breaking down gender stereotypes within this community? This bachelor thesis observes doing gender in pole dance and aims to answer these questions. The work draws on the the theory of West and Zimmerman, who describe an impact of gender expectations on individual behavior and thus the process of doing gender. For a detailed understanding of this phenomenon, data were collected through qualitative semi- structured interviews. Those were realized with six male communication partners and four female partners, who actively participate in pole dance and have several years of experience performing. For evaluation of these interviews, the methods of thematic analysis were used. Results show the following. First, the...

Changes in the Portrayal of the Velvet Revolution within the Czech Cinemathography
Peřinová, Eliška ; Spalová, Barbora (advisor) ; Moskvina, Yuliya (referee)
My thesis is focused on exploration of the portrayal of the Velvet Revolution within Czech Cinematography. I am examining this problematic through the theory of the collective memory. In particular I am using a methodological concept developed by Irena Řehořová in her study Cultural Memory and Film: How the Image of Post-War Displacement in Czech Film Has Changed. I have chosen three films - each representing one period of time and by conducting a qualitative content analysis I am trying to identify the key means of expression that are used to represent the concept of the Velvet Revolution during each of those particular periods of time and what overall image of the Velvet Revolution creators of the movies are trying to show to their viewers. At the same time, I am focusing on the reaction of professional critics and regular viewers to check how the Czech public reacts to the representations of the Velvet revolution shown in the films. My thesis is divided into four parts. The first, Theoretical Chapter is based on the theory of the collective memory with a focus on the Czech specifics and non-documentary movie as medium of collective memory. Following is a description of the historical context of the Velvet Revolution and its today's position in the Czech public discourse. Then there is the...
