Gentrification of the inner city of Český Krumlov
PROKŮPKOVÁ, Petra
The bachelor´s thesis explores, identifies and analyses eventual manifestations of gentrification in the Inner city of Český Krumlov. Part of the thesis is an outline of theoretical approaches in the area of gentrification. The analytical part is derived from different, but overlapping approaches: gentrification as a class colonization, gentrification as a capital investment, gentrification and social disparities. As a prerequisite for confirming the course of gentrification, the creation of a rent gap in the examined area is analyzed. Another identifier of the course of the process in the area is the displacement of the original inhabitants.

Where has the Kladno region's working class lost?
Šťáhlavský, Libor ; Hlaváček, Jiří (advisor) ; Krátká, Lenka (referee)
Kladno used to be one of the symbols of industry in the period before 1989, with a long tradition in coal mining and steel processing. And so the whole Kladensko been several generations of labor associated with these activities either directly in the industry itself or sector services necessary for the operation of mines and steel mills. The beginning of the nineties meant for this area great bewilderment and incomprehension, metallurgical and mining operations gradually ceased operating and the region began to grapple with a hitherto unknown phenomenon of unemployment. This thesis deals with the "destiny" of the region during the second half of the 20th century to the present. Qualitative research methods in the form of oral history interviews will try to map out the life stories of individuals associated with the aforementioned changes, to adapt to new social circumstances and views about their life before and after 1989.

Social Class in E.M. Forster's Howards End and in Zadie Smith's On Beauty
Lacková, Štěpánka ; Topolovská, Tereza (advisor) ; Higgins, Bernadette (referee)
This bachelor thesis compares and contrasts the depiction of social class in E.M. Forster's Howards End and Zadie Smith's On Beauty. The theoretical part introduces the concept of social class as well as its portrayal in Edwardian literature and in contemporary British literature and also in the works of E.M. Forster and Zadie Smith. Due to the apparent connection between the two texts, an overview of intertextuality and its functioning in literature is added to the theoretical part. The practical part of the paper interprets On Beauty as a pastiche of Howards End but mainly provides the analysis of the two novels in terms of their view of social stratification, in particular the differences between upper middle class and working class. Key words: Howards End, On Beauty, E.M. Forster, Zadie Smith, social class, middle class, working class, intertextuality

Between Cross and Hammer. Reception of Social Thought in the Catholic Church during the First Half of the 20th Century
Štofaník, Jakub ; Vojtěchovský, Ondřej (advisor) ; Rákosník, Jakub (referee) ; Katuninec, Milan (referee)
Between Cross and Hammer. Reception of Social Thought in the Catholic Church during the First Half of the 20th Century ABSTRACT The thesis examines the construction, development, transfer, and adaptation of Catholic social thought in the first half of the 20th century. Social Catholicism is understood not only as a concept defined by the social teachings of the Church in the form of encyclicals, but primarily as a collective social practice present in society in various forms. From this perspective the thesis contributes to the debate around the secularization discourse and the role of religion in modern society. The analysis of the Social Catholic movement is done in two different national contexts: Belgium and Czechoslovakia. Comparative method finds its place dominantly in the second part of the study, which puts together the network of Social Catholic organizations and different actors in both countries. The focus on the discourse and social practices of Social Catholicism and Catholics' involvement among the working class tries to reinforce connections and links within ecclesiastical, social, and cultural history.

Kubová, Karolína ; Šubrt, Jiří (advisor) ; Šafr, Jiří (referee)
This thesis is a theoretical-historical attribute and focuses on the theory of classes and class conflict, on the genesis of the concept of class. The thesis will analyze the authors and directions-schools that have had an impact on the ideological founder of the concept Karl Marx and also how they developed their thinking. Marx nor any other author of the term "class, classes, class" never clearly defined. It is a historical and sociological perspective on the concept of "class", which is often defined differently, and still there is any clear definition, which would approve whole academic community. In modern societies, the term "class" is not used so often and has been replaced by the concept of social stratification. In recent years, the "classes" being discussed by worldwide experts, but the solution is still not found. Nevertheless, this work is optimistic and the author clearly advocates that the term "class" will not vanish from professional sociological discourse.
