Author: Annika Stricker, BA Supervisor: doc. PhDr. Alice Němcová Tejkalová, Ph.D. Master Thesis: How Gendered Discrimination limits Women's Professional Practice in Conflict Reporting in Latin America English Abstract As war journalism is widely regarded as a men's domain, gendered discrimination limits women's professional practice in conflict reporting in Latin America. A continent, which is not only the deadliest region for journalists worldwide but also overly sexist due to patriarchal structures deeply rooted within Latin American cultures called "machismo". Based on a feminist theoretical framework and a phenomenological approach, female journalists' experiences and coping mechanisms with gendered discrimination were examined by conducting semi-structured interviews with ten Latin American journalists. The study shows, that female journalists in Latin America are sexualized, valued for their looks instead of their journalistic skills and often denied to cover certain beats and topics. This censors and silences female journalists as they are changing the way they practice journalism by not taking on risky tasks, moving to another country or stop exercising journalism altogether. However, female journalists in Latin America also developed progressive coping mechanisms such as taking safety measures and...

Male-Female polarity and Latino Family dynamics in Awarded Books by Authors of Latino Origin from United States after 2000
Polák, Lukáš ; Ženíšek, Jakub (advisor) ; Chalupský, Petr (referee)
This Master thesis focuses on the dynamic of the development and rethinking of the concept of the traditional Latino patriarchal family built up around male dominance. This work explores the changes of the traditional concept under the pressure of society of the United States in novels written in English by authors of Latino origin awarded for their novels after 2000. The most significant of them being Junot Díaz and his The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao; the other two are Mexican Female authors Stella Pope Duarte with If I Die in Juárez and Reyna Grande with Across a Hundred Mountains. The first part is purely theoretical, stemming from the concepts of traditional Latino masculinity, the role of the female and children in the patriarchal family in order to explain the clash of values and family crises which Latinos undergo once they are confronted with the different system of values of the United States and the consequences for all family members. In the second part, all three books are analyzed on the basis of the male - female polarity. Consequences for families are explored as seen by Latino/a authors. Finally, solutions and possible ways of escaping the vicious spiral of violence and tensions created by the changed paradigm penetrating the Latino family life as suggested in the novels are...

The feminine character in El final del juego by Julio Cortázar
Hubáčková, Ema ; Poláková, Dora (advisor) ; Krátká, Tereza (referee)
(in English) I have decided to dedicate my final thesis to a very important Argentinian author, translator and intellectual, Julio Cortázar. This work is based on one of his most important publications, Final del juego, concretely on the position of the women that are included in the stories of this publication. We can notice that Cortázar places a woman almost in every part of this book, but she is always seen in a negative way. This work is not written from the point of view of a feminist ideology. This thesis tries to compare the author's technique of writing with the one generally used in his era. We are going to analyze some concrete short stories from our corpus and we will search for the answer to why in some cases the work of Cortázar differs from other authors of that era and in what does it differ. The goal of this work is not only to analyze his work and present his ideas, but also to search for the possible roots and cause of his style of writing in such negative way about the women. Not only are we going to study his biography, but also the greek mythology and other aspects.

Rudolfová, Aneta ; Holeček, Tomáš (advisor) ; Řezáčová, Vendula (referee)
Bachelor thesis "Perceptions and attitudes to family of Hispanic immigrants" deals with the qualitative research conducted among immigrants from Spanish-speaking countries living in the Czech Republic. During the interviews were examined attitudes of respondents towards the interpretation of character and function of their own families, with an emphasis on the interpretation of the value aspects related to the culture. The paper then focuses on the fact as how Hispanic immigrants perceive the form of Czech families in connection with their dual cultural experience. The analytical section provides a detailed view at the studied issue, based on an analysis of the individual questions. The global perspective is then interpreted within the final part of the paper.
