Davídek, Petr ; Vokoun, Rudolf (advisor) ; Bohuslav, Lukáš (referee)
The development of criminal punishment for homosexual activity and sodomy in the Czech republic This thesis deals with the development of the criminalization of homosexual intercourse and sodomy in the Czech Republic. The aim of this work is to monitor the development of decriminalization of homosexual intercourse and, marginally, sodomy with an emphasis on the period from 1852 to the present. The work is conceived as an analysis of criminal provisions applicable during the period and at the same time monitoring the circumstances that led to decriminalization. The following are examples of punishments for homosexual conduct and sodomy as stated by selected decisions of the courts. The work is divided into an introduction, followed by the monitored period into four parts, and these parts are divided into sections and subsections, followed by a conclusion. The first part follows the historical period from antiquity to 1852, where each time period is described very briefly, with emphasis on the relevant provisions of penial laws for homosexual intercourse and bestiality. The second part follows the period between 1852 and 1961. This period is already examined in detail, with emphasis on the period of the First Republic, where there were efforts to decriminalize homosexual act and where they conducted...

Themes of Animals and Bestiality in the Selected Works of Ladislav Fuks
Kuřeová, Petra ; Mravcová, Marie (advisor) ; Merhaut, Luboš (referee)
Summary: This bachelor thesis deals with animal motifs and motifs connected to bestiality and inhumanity in the selected works of Ladislav Fuks (Věneček z vavřínu, Pan Theodor Mundstock, Variace pro temnou strunu, Spalovač mrtvol, Myši Natálie Mooshabrové). Its focus lies primarily on his works from the 1960s, with overlaps to his first work from the 1950s and one novel from the early 1970s. It concerns animal motifs, animalistic attributes of the characters, bestiality, brutishness and inhuman behavior. The aim of the thesis is to capture these motifs and mainly to characterize their meaning and function in each particular work and in the overall thematic structure of Fuks' oeuvre. Key words: Ladislav Fuks, animal motif, beast, bestiality, inhumanity, 1960s

Gay pride: the media portrait of homosexuality in czech media based on the example of gay marches
Strnadová, Mirka ; Osvaldová, Barbora (advisor) ; Hronová, Tereza (referee)
This thesis describes the reflection of homosexuality in Czech media on the example of marches of homosexuals. Firstly I clarify the main terms and the differences between them, then I focus on the history of perception of homosexuality and the roles of homosexuals in our society. The chosen units for the content analysis are following periodicals: MF Dnes, Právo and Lidové noviny. The analysis focuses on the articles published in the range of three months from the day the events took place during the years 2008 and 2011. In the analytical part of this thesis I firstly characterize the marches held twice in Brno, once in Tábor and once in Prague. All the periodicals were interested in the first Queer Parade in Brno but their interest in the second and third one dropped. The most media attention achieved the Prague Pride in 2011. There have been over 100 articles about this topic and their size rose and dropped equally with the number of visitors of these events. The interest of the media has also been influenced by any kind of negative event, mainly when the marches were attacked by extremists or criticised by politicians. These negative and stereotypical statements in media can be very influential in the way of stigmatizing sexual minority and it is also one of the aspects which this thesis pays...
