Naturkulturstadt Brno Židenice – Garden vineyards
Lietavová, Veronika ; Sedlák, Jan (referee) ; Kiszka, Josef (advisor)
The topic of diploma thesis is an ideological processing of a conception which will allow for a gradual transformation of a gardening colony to a place of primary living and improvement of pedestrian passages, because the area is inaccessible nowadays. The goal of this proposal is not a controlled and sudden change of the whole area it is the opposite of that, it leaves space for the autopoetic growth of the area. The proposal introduces new complementary functions in important points of the area, centres, from which not only the area of Židenický kopec will profit, but also other parts of the city of Brno. New functions respect the tradition of cultivation and gardening in the area, which is deeply rooted in this location and brings new forms of production of crops, thanks to which the districts of Židenice and Vinohrady can become more autonomous in the future. The focal point of the diploma project is a proposal of one of the chosen areas derived from urbanistic conception. The project of research centre with food production at the top of the Židenický kopec, which will become an “ecological lighthouse”, a new way of effective cultivation of crops using technology to obtain natural resources and improvement of sustainability of cities. Together with the gardening colony the research centre will allow the inhabitants of Židenice and Vinohrady an access to locally sourced food and will increase the awareness about many aspects of growth and the source of the food.

Civil Religion. Audit and Update
Jüptner, Jan ; Kučera, Rudolf (advisor) ; Franěk, Jakub (referee) ; Hrubec, Marek (referee)
PhD thesis assesses the history of the idea of civil religion and proposes a theoretical interface encompassing all its conceptualisations encountered to date (Rousseau, Bellah, Cristi, Parsons, Luhmann, and Lübbe). Civil religion is understood here as a system of reference points through which society, in the process of self-description, projects into the peripheries its autopoietic realities (of the past, future and eternality) so as to lend stability and import to its existence. By relating to these references, a discourse originates which, being characteristic of the presence of thick and comprehensive meanings, enables the society to communicate about its origins, ends and purpose. In its civil configuration this discourse is pluralist and the involvement of its actors is quite restrained. The model allows for an analysis of the entire serious symbol-based communication of the actors (weighty words, religious symbols, nationalism, conspiracy theories and political correctness) within a single context, as well as of preconditions for such communication. The crisis discourse opened in the USA after 9/11 and aspects of Czech life and institutions are also analysed. In the Czech Republic we identify a minority civil religion discourse, concentrated around semi-secularised references on truth and...

What Is Life and the Definition of Life in the Heart of Science of the 21st Century.
Pavlík, Richard ; Lhotský, Josef (advisor) ; Šolc, Roman (referee)
Phenomenon of life exceeds the science. Definition(s) of this concept should be a basis. This work discusses many sights around the definition of life and searching for the essence of life and it tries to embrace these factors in their entirety by quoting both traditional definitional approaches and the less traditional ones and possibly even futuristic ones. In a shortcut this text analyse instructions on how to define. Considering the extensiveness of the topic this bachelor's thesis touches thoughts of the scientific interdisciplinary framework. Keywords: definition of life, life and non-life transition, anti-definitionism, autopoiesis, cybernetical approach, biosemiosis

Cyber terrorism - medial threat
Latoň, Pavel ; Zbořil, Zdenek (advisor) ; Mucha, Ivan (referee)
The subject of my diploma thesis, Cyber terrorism - medial threat, is a phenomenon of terrorist attacks in cyberspace, media discourse, within the reality is constructed cyber terrorism in the media and its impact on the securitization of cyber terrorism process. It also deals with the comparison of traditional forms of terrorism with those that have evolved with new communication technologies. The thesis outlines the development of the concept of terrorism from its beginning to the present. The aim of the thesis is to show Cyber terrorism as a latent threat to the information society. For the interdisciplinary approach is used the method of discourse analysis. Creating a social and media reality is analyzed based on the theory of Niklas Luhmann and points to the autopoiesis self-reference systems and reference each other, as a key concept in the construction of reality by the media. Another section is devoted to the reaction of the European Union and North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) on the "threat" of cyber terrorism. Keywords Terrorism, cyber terrorism, self-reference, autopoiesis, securitization

Phenomenon of Film - Information - Society
Vodrážková, Katrin ; Štogrová Jedličková, Petra (advisor) ; Vilgus, Petr (referee) ; Michalovič, Peter (referee)
The dissertation presents an analysis of film and photographic media as two specific information systems. It is based mainly on the system theory of Niklas Luhmann, the basis upon which film is understood as a social system. The phenomenon of film is further developed as an imaging technique in the contemporary information society and electronic culture. The work shows new forms of imaging in film, but also a comparison of imaging techniques in the photographic medium. The goal of the dissertation is to contribute to a more detailed understanding of moving images and to develop the possibilities of film, which has the potential to become a future information system.

The application of Sociocybernetics in Organizational Analysis
Malinová, Ludmila ; Rosický, Antonín (advisor) ; Říhová, Zora (referee)
Diploma thesis focuses on clarifying of sociocybernetics principles and its connection to other sciences. It refers to possible approach to information, knowledge, systems. Further, it appeals to individuals in terms of social system and their values, abstract reality perception, utilization of feedback, autopoiesis (self-organization) and many others. Theoretical frame offers to reader awareness about this topic. Practical part points out possible application of this concept along complex organization analysis. Results of analysis refer to bottlenecks and possible improvements, in terms of sociocybernetics principles and methods.
