Mehić, Sabina ; Otčenášek, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Vlainić, Sandra (referee)
The bachelor thesis focuses on ethnic problems in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BaH) in the second half of the 20th century, and especially the reasons that led to the Srebrenica massacre. The aim of the thesis will be to analyze the important causes in the ethnic transformations of BaH that led to the Srebrenica genocide. In the first part of the bachelor thesis I would like to introduce the historical context and the basic data that are important for understanding the later issues. The focus will be on the beginning and course of the civil war in Bosnia and Herzegovina in the 1990s. In the second part of my bachelor's thesis, I would like to focus directly on the events in Srebrenica, especially the circumstances that contributed to one of the largest massacres in Europe after 1945. There are many different perspectives on this event and the aim of this thesis will be to orient myself in this situation and try to evaluate everything as objectively as possible.

The influence of Central European modernity on Serbian postmodern literature
Janečková, Tereza ; Nedvědová, Milada (advisor) ; Vlainić, Sandra (referee)
The submitted work engages into the relationship between Central European literature and Serbian postmodern literature. Initially, the work defines the character of Central European modern fiction on the ground of its West European literary predecessors. It points out following features of Central European modern fiction: fragmentation of the narrative; dissapearance of existing world, which has guranteed solid values; existence of a parallel "fiction world", which gradually absorbs its protagonist, and the emphasis on sin. The first part of the work is accompanied by a brief outline of Serbian modern and avant-gard literature. The second part of the dissertation gives a theoretical definition of postmodern literature. After a short characteristics of two crucial Serbain postmodernists: Milorad Pavić and Dragan Velikić, the work intends to look for characteristic modern themes and various ways in which they are applied. Some themes accentuated by Central European authors (such as the existence of the paralel "fiction world") are to be found in the work of Velikić as well as Pavić. Some modern Central European themes are completely absent in thein novels. Second part of the book also gives a short characteristic of the post-modern literature in other Balkan countries such as Bulgaria or Croatia.

The Influence of Turbofolk on Modification of Identity In the Diasporal Communities from Former Yugoslavia - example of Post-Yugoslav Communities in Austria
Šťastná, Petra ; Pelikán, Jan (advisor) ; Vlainić, Sandra (referee)
The thesis is concentrated on a research based on turbofolk music in diaspora from the former Yugoslav countries. When speaking about turbofolk, the term can be explained as a type of popular music combined with folk elements. It originates in the former Yugoslav countries, but similar pop-folk genres can be found in other European and non- European countries as well. People with immigration background living in diaspora can possess different types of relations towards this type of music than their counterparts in the ex-Yugoslav countries. Especially, certain common tendencies can be observed among the diaspora youth cosuming turbofolk. This work will primarily give answers to the basic questions including attitudes towards turbofolk in the ex-Yugoslav diaspora. It will describe turbofolk scene in the diaspora and show its extensiveness. In particular it will be focused on the Austrian case (concerning practising turbofolk etc.). Nevertheless, it will also investigate contemporary tendencies in identification with turbofolk. Key words turbofolk, diaspora, Yugoslavia, identity, Austria

Interlingvistical Homonymity in Verbs - Comparison of Czech and Serbian
Červenková, Anděla ; Jirásek, Karel (advisor) ; Vlainić, Sandra (referee)
The subject of this bachelor's thesis is verbal Czech/Serbian homonymity. The thesis focuses on verbal prefixes and their ability to change verb meaning in connection to interlanguage homonymity. The first part provides readers with a theoretical background needed for understanding this topic, namely lexicology and its domains. Further, emphasis is put on homonymity (and its genesis), polysemy and word formation. My research focuses particularly on prefixes in both languages and the comparison between their individual meanings. The same method is applied to the comparing of verbs that are prefixed by given prefixes. The meanings are entered into the Czech/Serbian dictionary which contains 101 homonym pairs and three homonym triplets.

Impressionism in Serbia
Chlebovská, Markéta ; Vlainić, Sandra (advisor) ; Jensterle Doležal, Alenka (referee)
This thesis deals with the topic of Serbian painting at the beginning of 20th century, specifically Impressionism. The text outlines the situation of Serbian painting at the end of 19th century and general tendencies of traditional artists to paint monumental historic topics. The paper captures impulses which bring the Serbian painting from old historicism to modern European level. The key moments are an opening of an art school in Belgrade and education of young painters in European cities. The period of Serbian Impressionism is divided in a few stages. The inaugural stage is about searching the basic characteristics of impressionism, the next stage is characterized by the painters' confidence in their style and making real impressionistic artworks and at the last stage, a peak period of Impressionism, Kosta Miličević and Milan Milovanović paint their best paintings, outside of Serbian area. The paper continues with an analysis of the public opinion and an opinion of experts after the end of the period. At the end of this thesis the attention is payed to the contact between Czech and Serbian Impressionism, mainly to Cyril Kutlík, Czech founder of the art school in Serbia and to a Kosta Miličević who studied in Prague and was influenced by the city.

Olejárová, Radana ; Vlainić, Sandra (advisor) ; Jirásek, Karel (referee)
(in English): In thesis we dealt with expressive language of contemporary Serbian author Marko Vidojković. We chose "Kandže" and "Sve crvenkape su iste" for stylistic analysis from his several novels. In this analysis, the most important part is his most successful novel "Kandže". We divided the bachelor thesis into theoretical and practical part. In first part we tried to elucidate the basic stylistics terms. The second part was the analysis. We divided the novel "Kandže" into characters and monitored speech of characters and noted the most interesting moments. We introduced concrete examples from book in Serbian language, which we translated into Slovak using translation and descriptive dictionaries. We already knew that novels of Marko Vidojković always have similar language, so we tried to note phenomena, which is present in the first mentioned book. We observed two basic differences. In the second novel more neologisms and hypocoristics seem to be present than in novel "Kandže". The main target of thesis was to determine proportion of expressive language in books. The most numerous were profane words and slang. It shows amongst other that Serbian language is rich of these words.

Similarity of Serbian and Slovak Language Concerning Substantives
Stojanovičová, Zorica ; Vlainić, Sandra (advisor) ; Jirásek, Karel (referee)
(English): In this bachelor thesis we were trying to compare Serbian and Slovak language in terms of vocabulary according to substantives. Due to extensiveness of the grammatical category of nouns we decided to define our thesis only on family and kinship terminology. In the process of comparing we were using translation and explanatory dictionaries as well as etymological dictionary which was the major indicator whether or not have these two languages the same origin. It turned out that the roots of both Indo-European languages date back to Proto-Slavic languages. While many of the old Serbian kinship names preserved until today, in Slovak we can observe the gradual disappearance. The reasons why they died out are a new way of life, moving from the place of the former residence what is resulting in limited meeting with friends and relatives. The thesis is divided into two parts. In the first part we write about the general terms relating to the family and relatives. The second part already deals with kinship terminology which we categorized into consanguinity (blood kinship), affinity and spiritual kinship.
