Avengers and their Fandom Perception
ŠURANSKÁ, Barbora
The Bachelor thesis on the topic Fandom Perception of Avengers have been focused especially at the final product of a specific fandom, in the form of shared fan art on social media. The first part is focused on the theoretical side of fan. I pay attention to its history and gradual progression. I'm trying to introduce the fan studies that have a tradition at universities of the United States of America and slowly making their way here in the field of media, television and cultural studies. In the next two chapters, I define the categories of fandom and types of fans and non-fans, about expend level of the activity. Then, based on typical fan activities by marked academics, I wrote down several practices. At the end of the theoretical part I discuss the three most important works wrote by Henry Jenkins, Matt Hills and Paul Booth, on which are build fan studies and are often quoted. In the second part, I will take a closer look at two works focused on the hypersexuality of female comic books characters from The Hawkeye Inititative website and a "race" man, Black Panther by Reginald Hudlin, Afroamerican author. I will analyze a video about physics milestones Marvel Universe filmed by the University of Minnesota physicist Jim Kakalios, who uses some scenes to explain various facts in his lectures. After that I will look at the main headline scenes that led to the end of the four phases of the Infinity Saga, popular conspiracy theories of forums such as Reddit, and at the finish add a few examples from Czech fan work on YouTube and shared art on Facebook, etc.

Koukalová, Věra ; Řehořová, Irena (advisor) ; Fulka, Josef (referee)
This thesis covers the topics of transmedia narration of a trickster character with using examples from its mythological, poetic, film, serial and media representation. At first, Loki is defined as a character and as a trickster. Using transmedia narratology and storyworld theory, the author tries to discover whether it is possible to keep the trickster side of the character across genres and media formats.
