The case of weirs: Media discourse analysis
Vaňhalová, Adéla ; Kabele, Jiří (advisor) ; Vodáková, Alena (referee)
The author was concerned with the media discourse of the theme of weirs on the river Labe in newspapers MF Dnes and Ústecký deník during the period of ten years. The used methods were quantitative and qualitative content analyses. Emphasis was placed on the types of arguments used in the discourse and also on the means of argumentation [Schopenhauer 1991, Weston 2001]. Analysis discovered two basic kinds of discourse: expert and emotional. To both of these discourses were linked special kinds of means of argumentation. The expert discourse was constructed as a pure and fair argument. The emotional discourse was constructed as an insidious argument. The main conclusion derived from the analysis was about the game frames [Goffman 1999] of two sides in discourse: advocates and opponents of the weirs. To the advocates was ascribed expert economic discourse which created their dominant game frame. The advocates persuade the public about their truth through economic discourse. The opponents were first constructed as dominant in the game frame of expert ecological discourse. During time their ecological game frame was redefined by the advocates and lost its persuading power. The opponents found new game frame: "petition" political discourse. "Petition" political discourse is till now the dominant game frame of the...

Equal opportunities and combining working and family life from perspective of women (analysis of discourse)
Novák, Ondřej ; Vodochodský, Ivan (advisor) ; Vodáková, Alena (referee)
This master's thesis deals with the question of combining family and working life from a gender perspective. The main focal point of the thesis is a discoursive analysis of interviews with women/mothers, who returned to their places of employment either after or during their maternity leave. The analysis deals with the two levels, on which the narratives of the respondents move: discoursive (using interpretive sources and a discoursive framework) and practical (concrete practices). It's main area of interest is the method with which the repsondents construct their presence within the question of combining family life with their employment, i.e., which discourses do they use in their narratives, and conversely, in what way do these discourses limit and co-create their rhetorical and social practices. The analysis of the interviews develops into a simplification of a schematicization of relationships between individual discourses, while at the same time indicating the consequences of those relationships for some concrete practices of the women themselves. In an important conclusion, the thesis reveals the lack of presence of a discourse on the positioning of the male in the private sphere (e.g., man-father) as a prerequisite for the women's engagement in their employment. Finally, the thesis compares the...

"Stay elsewhere" or international mobility percieved by experienced actors
Voldánová, Iva ; Šmídová, Olga (advisor) ; Vodáková, Alena (referee)
The aim of the thesis was to identify how the actors (young Europeans) perceive travelling, more specifically staying abroad organised/establish by an institution, and what are attributes assigned. Therefore, an analysis of these actors' responses is applied. For the first, influences and aspects of the actors' departure abroad viewed by themselves as significant were focused on. The assumptions is that their experience is caused by their capacity / tendency to leave, which is based on their biographic preconditions, especially by the family and by "similar reference groups". Other factors affecting are privileged European origin, language and institutions. Later, specifics of staying elsewhere, which affects the life trajectories of the actors were dealt with. The actors assess travelling, its main sense and the value of their active approach that enables that. The analytical part concludes that this way of acting is in compliance with searching for themselves related to typical absence of identity at the post-modern period. The motivation for travelling is travelling itself; the motivation is becoming. Based on the above findings and analysis, the main traces of the a "staying abroad concept" have been stressed out. In this point of view the staying abroad should be perceived as a certain form of...

Šmatová, Barbora ; Vodáková, Alena (advisor) ; Kandert, Josef (referee)
1 A b s t r a k t Práce je pokusem přiblížit pohled na několik z proměn českého venkova dvacátého století, zejména po linii proměn životního stylu, sféry práce a trávení volného času obyvatel venkova. Hlavním zám ěrem je pojednání o příčinách a důsledcích proměn na základě srovnávací analýzy vybraných dokumentů zachycujících venkov své doby a načrtnutí jeho sociologického obrazu. Práce se pokouší zachytit a ukázat venkov v různých dimenzích a z různých pohledů, to jak byl nebo je v jednotlivých dokum entech a pramenech zobrazován a strukturován v čase, jak jsou jednotlivé obrazy vrstvené, kde se prolínají, kde se naopak rozcházejí, v jakých kontextech se objevují, jak modelují a člení načrtnutý obraz. Snahou práce s uvedenými prameny je popis a propojení různých přístupů, zachycení linie proměn a zároveň konkretizace na společnosti českého venkova v jejich dynamičnosti a kontinuálnosti, pojmenování význam ných mezníků, jejich zachycení v čase a jaké měly důsledky pro svoji a další generaci. Text je pokusem o sestavení kom parativního sociologického obrazu několika proměn českého venkova a vesnice. Klíčová slova venkov, proměny venkova, tradiční a moderní společnost, sociální struktura A b s t r a c t The paper tries to approach several of the Czech countryside changes during the 20th century, more...
