Development of theological discourse at Dorothea Sölle
BALI, Kateřina
The presented work deals with the theological reflection of the ideas of Protestant, feminist theologian Dorothee Sölle, related to her work Mysticism and Resistance. The aim of this work is to reflect on the concepts of mysticism and resistance, while viewing mysticism and resistance in direct relation to Sölle's position within feminist liberation theology, i.e. attempting to place ideas about mysticism and resistance in the framework of her early theological thinking. With regard to Sölle's position within feminist theology, the work also deals with the question of how mysticism and resistance take on the future form of feminist liberation theology. The focus of this work, through the hermeneutic method, is mainly the reflection of the relationship between action and contemplation, standing at the core of mysticism and resistance. Against the background of Zimmerling's criticism of mysticism and resistance, primarily from the politicization of mysticism, the work tries to reflect on the relationship between mysticism and resistance, which is a relationship of radical correlation. Zimmerling's criticism seems justified in view of the focus on relationships within creation and the related transformation of man, instead of the relationship with God. In a certain respect, mysticism as resistance takes on the form of political mysticism, more precisely the mysticism of liberation. The reflection of mysticism as resistance raises questions about the "need" of the "contemplative dimension", which as a result can appear secondary. The work tries to find answers in Sölle's text, and that answer can be the reflection of aimless prayer, which is the "heart" of mysticism as resistance. Although Sölle emphasizes one aspect of the mystical relationship in particular - the transformation of man and the world, her goal is the unity of action and contemplation in in the form of the unity of mysticism and resistance. In her perspective, the relationship with God is not an isolated experience of an individual, but a reflection and at the same time a pattern of relationships within creation. Just as it does not separate action from contemplation, it does not separate the relationship between God and man and man and creation. As a result, Sölle's desire to find unity can be found in the background of this approach. It is precisely in the idea of mysticism as resistance, in the mysticism of open eyes, that the dialogical relationship of action and contemplation emerges, which is a mutual relationship. Action and contemplation are two sides of the same coin, i.e. one cannot exist without the other, and their harmony is a prerequisite (and consequence) of mysticism and resistance.

Conflict of Good and Evil in The Silmarillion from a Biblical Perspective
Kučera, Benjamin ; Hošek, Pavel (advisor) ; Bargár, Pavol (referee)
The theme of the thesis is to look into the conflict of good and evil in the work of Tolkien The Silmarillion from a Biblical perspective. The text of Silmarillion itself is mainly used for identification of themes related to the central one. These themes are further analysed to reveal their origin, namely whether they came from the biblical tradition or some other tradition. The first part is devoted to the Silmarillion itself and provides a brief summary to remind reader of the basic plot line and motifs. The second part addresses the issue of good and evil from a cosmic perspective and its definition. This section also identifies the general principles of this combat taking into account its particular realisations and allows reader to determine the influence of Christianity, Norse mythology, and other sources on Tolkien's work. The third part deals with the conflict between good and evil in relation to particular persons or groups of persons, and describes the way people surrender to the evil and how they can resist it. It makes clear what values Tolkien considered important. In this thesis reader can once again find summarisation of the factors that influenced Tolkien's work.

Festival of Defiance? "Majáles" in 50s and 60s of 20th century in Czechoslovakia.
Šťástka, Jan ; Himl, Pavel (advisor) ; Roubal, Petr (referee)
In this thesis based on research of historical sources I try to reconstruct the Prague festival of majales in 50s and 60s of 20th century and understand if they were truly meant as an act of defiance against the communist "régime" as some historians say. My point of view is base around the theory of Michail Bachtin and carnival as form of culturally creative force which act as form of social order negotiation. Worlds of play and laughter exist as a parallel to the official mundane world with their own different rules and they can be used as a form of social negotiation even in totalitarian or strongly conservative "régimes". Majales is a form of carnival that grants the transition into the world of play. Students in Czechoslovakia could use this possibility to negotiate about many otherwise taboo topics. Even if the worlds of play and mundane seem to be separated they influence each other in many ways and even the rules of mundane world can be changed through play and carnival. Students are also protected by their liminal status between being a child and an adult. Which grants them more rights than children but less duties than adults.

Theme of love in Moliere's main works
Řádková, Tereza ; Jamek, Václav (advisor) ; Pohorský, Aleš (referee)
This bachelor's thesis theme is an analysis of love in selected Moliere's works. Love is present as an element that shapes various characters in author's works. They most frequently dissert with love of young people whose parents are laying obstacles in the way of their love. In some cases, love has even a more important role (Misantrop). It can even be the substance of the relevant work, as is the case of Don Juan and, in a way, of Amfitryon. School for Wives and the texts related to it are a specific case, whereas not only love is in question but the matters of woman's lot itself. The goal of this thesis is to show in which aspects we can find the theme of love in Moliere's works and what importance it has in his plays.

Defiance in the man's life
KLOZOVÁ, Andrea
This thesis deals with defiance in the man´s life. The thesis is divided in three chapters, which are theoretical. First chapter delas with defiance of the general, the second chapter is devoted the defiance in toddlers and third chapter is devoted the defiance in pubescents. In the second and the third chapter is time-limited period, reasons for defiance, emotional development of the individual, development of identity and parenting styles, which can help affect child´s behavior. In the practical part are three case reports. The parents here talk about their family situation. The parents mention examples of child´s defiance, their solution, and together we determined, which of the parenting styles in theoretical part, they use. I find whether theory can be the basis for practice.
