Transformation of traditional Balinese architecture building in the course of the 20th century
Šenkyříková, Nikol ; Pokorný, Ondřej (advisor) ; Petrů, Tomáš (referee)
The Bachelor thesis deals with the development and changes of Balinese vernacular architecture in the 20th century. This thesis is supported by my own field research which was realized through semi- structured interviews. The main aim of this work is to objectively assess the extent to which during the last century the concept of a traditional architecture on the island of Bali has been distinguished from its original form. I focused not only to changes of construction but also in terms of religion and the relationship between human and his dwelling. For comparison, I have chosen four houses from different time periods. The first of these houses is maintained in its original form and works as an open-air museum. The second and third house are still retaining the original construction but the design has been modernized and there are also some innovations that undermine the principles based on traditional methodology Asta Kosala Kosali. The last building is a modern town house which has been already significantly diverged but also there are some original features, for example decorations or sacred spaces. Comparing these four objects I am referring to changes in terms of Asta Kosala Kosali, thereby the concept of the traditional Balinese house brings me to the current situation of construction of Balinese...

Traditional Indonesian shadow theater wayang in the context of modern era
Hankeová, Kateřina ; Petrů, Tomáš (advisor) ; Pokorný, Ondřej (referee)
This thesis is dedicated to traditional Indonesian wayang theater and its change in modern times. The goal is to describe this change and appraise the actual state of this ancient theater, which deals mainly with traditional epics and thus, very old views of the world, emotions and life itself. Wayang gives us a very valuable insight to the past, and points out the timelessness of human feelings and desires. How do people in the modern globalising world and in a society where Islam is becoming increasingly radical, perceive the tradition of wayang? In the first part I focus on the description of puppets, its characters, dalang, repertoire of the theater, course of the performance, its cultural-religious context, rituals connected with the theater, music accompanying the performance and also the scene itself. In the second part I focus on the summary of answers, results and analysis of the research from local inhabitants' perception of wayang theater. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Jago and preman - controversial heroes of Indonesian history
Petrů, Tomáš ; Vrhel, František (advisor) ; Šalanda, Bohuslav (referee) ; Dubovská, Zorica (referee)
The dissertation deals with the historical development of banditry and gangsterism in Indonesia against the background of its relationship with the ruling elite. The author argues that bandits, called jago, or modern gangsters, known as preman, represented the basic pillar of power of all ruling regimes in Java from the classical Javanese kingdoms and the 163 Netherlands East Indies' colonial state to the Suharto's New Order. This pattern changed, however, with the onset of decentralisation and democratization of Indonesian politics - thugs for hire ceased to be agents of state and became a power tool of political parties and other competing interest groups. The author also shows that the regimes tried to eliminate the thugs' criminal activities by integrating them into their respective repressive systems. The general consequence of these intergrational attempts was criminalization of security forces and the state administration. The author further proves the existence of a direct historical and cultural connection between the jago and the preman. These controversial figures also share, despite a substantial time span, three essential features: cooperation with the patron on an ambivalent basis; criminal activities on the side outside this relationship, which secured profit for the elite in return for...
