Shamanism from the View of the Theories of Religious Studies
Sochorová, Michaela ; Gebelt, Jiří (advisor) ; Obuchová, Ľubica (referee)
This work is concerned with the origin, development and problems connected with the concept of shamanism. The originally indigenous term was transformed from its objective level to the level of scientific metalanguage and soon after that became a universal concept, which according to the postmodern critics of too generalized and unclear terms was rejected as empty and meaningless. It is the consequence of universal definitions that not only made "shamanism" popular, but also inspired the interest for this phenomenon among many different disciplines, which always reflect "shamanism" in a number of various ways. The phenomenon of neoshamanism and the revitalization of the native "shamanic" traditions also have to be taken into consideration. Thanks to that it is really hard to define the meaning of the term itself. The aim of this work is at first to introduce - on the basis of a typology - the main, i.e. most widespread approaches working with the concept of shamanism, defining it and at the same time providing some propositions concerning the solution of the problems mentioned above. I also try to answer the question wheather the "shamanism" still represents a contributive category for contemporary science.

Idea of the Hero in Modern Theatre
Šulc, Ondřej ; ETLÍK, Jaroslav (advisor) ; KLÍMA, Miloslav (referee)
In my diploma theses I tried to defend my ideal of hero in my production. From my theater work I chose my adaptations of The Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote of La Mancha by Miguel Cervantes, Bagpiper of Strakonice by Josef Kajetán Tyl, Secret of a rose based on the novels 1984 by George Orwell and Name of a rose by Umberto Eco, and my drama works reprezented by my adaptation of Icarus myth and drama based on the life of Jan Palach. For the purposes of my theses I used anthropological researches of Claude L?vi-Strauss and conclussions of David Lewis Williams.
