Floriánová, Eliška ; Turková, Kateřina (advisor) ; Oukropec, Jindřich (referee)
The topic of my bachelor thesis is "Presentation of female beauty on Instagram from the perspective of "beauty" influencers." The ambition of the thesis is to find out how women's beauty and the female body are perceived and presented by influencers themselves on Instagram, by using qualitative methods. The theoretical part describes the effects of social networks usage on adult women and young girls, focusing primarily on negative influences, such as the possibility of developing an eating disorder increases due to the frequent sharing of women's bodies on Instagram. Then there is indicated the increasing number of facial surgeries, which is also linked to the frequent viewing of edited photographs. The theoretical part of the thesis is also devoted to the principles of how Instagram works, its functions and other photo editing apps.

These fictional agents use different kinds of resistance, but as women, they are, nevertheless, mediated through the dominant male and masculine discourse that pervades the fictionalized societies in which these female agents appear. As for fictional work by female writers, without the assumption that the gender of the writer makes any literary work more or less "feminine", I have chosen The Awakening by Kate Chopin, The House of Mirth by Edith Wharton, a short-story "Good Country People" by Flannery O'Connor, and Blood and Guts in High School by Kathy Acker. The female heroines of the selected literary works bear a number of traumas women have had to endure under the patriarchal order and this thesis will address those traumas, their manifestation in the female psyche, and how...
