Output: a piece of dope material evidence for academic and online validation
Polách, Jakub ; Zálešák, Jan (referee) ; Kubíková, Zuzana (advisor)
According to Konrad Paul Liessmann, knowledge society is a structure subject to certain political and economic interests. University education, being a part of this structure, is reduced to mere professional training and the potential of knowledge acquired in this manner can be measured only in terms of its usefulness in the labour market. Under these circumstances, industrial society is being transformed into a society focused not on extraction of raw materials but on extraction of knowledge. Liessmann speaks about a process of knowledge industrialization: an industrial worker, subjected to an economic model driven by material production, is replaced by a knowledge worker, subjected to an economic model operating with symbolic value. Education is subjected to management control asserting economic evaluation – knowledge undergoes industrial processing, so that values, opinions and beliefs ultimately have no relevance within the context. What is of utmost importance is the quantifiable output, sick evidence of academic/online validation. In connection to this critique, my BA thesis discusses the possible content of the depleted BcA academic degree. Any sort of commodification occurring in the process is purely coincidental.

The Black Experience in French Rap
Červený, Jan ; Bauer, Paul (advisor) ; Matějka, Ondřej (referee)
This thesis explores how French black rappers Kery James and Youssoupha relate to their black experience. It utilized the application of critical discursive analysis to selected lyrics from their songs spanning the time period from 2008 to 2023. Themes that emerged in the lyrics based on the findings of the critical discursive analysis were colonization, relating to Africa, racism, the experience of living in France, struggle for human rights, and the legacy of the négritude movement. The research found that racism and the experience of living in France were the most represented themes in their texts. This discourse was characterised by discrimination, a sense of exclusion and defining oneself against the universalism of the French state. Other thematic discourses about colonization, Africa, the struggle for human rights and the négritude movement were less present. Positive discourse, which related to positive aspects of the black experience in France, was less present. Both Kery James and Youssoupha used predominantly negative discourse to express the black experience of life in France. There is also a transnational element to their black experience, in line with theories of the black diaspora as elaborated by Paul Gilroy. The discourse that both Kery James and Youssoupha use most constructs the...

Hanuš, Marek ; Kaprálková, Michaela (advisor) ; Voráček, Josef (referee)
Title: Public relations within the context of a selected case in the football environment Objectives: The main objective of this thesis is to analyse and understand the role of public relations in dealing with and managing controversial situations in the football environment in the context of different perceptions of a particular issue and to evaluate the effect of public relations of the club in the selected case. Methods: qualitative methods were used in this study - analysis of texts, documents, websites, social networks, press releases or statements of clubs and stakeholders. The triangulation method was also used to ensure greater objectivity and credibility of the findings. Results: the chosen case for this thesis was the Europa League return leg between Rangers FC and SK Slavia Prague and the subsequent accusation of racism against the Slavic defender Ondřej Kúdel.

It then focused on reducing tensions with the general...

Covert Racism in Presidential Campaigns: Exploiting Racial Prejudice by George H. W. Bush in the 1988 Elections
Cajkář, Jakub ; Sehnálková, Jana (advisor) ; Kozák, Kryštof Přemysl (referee)
This master's thesis examines the rhetorical strategy of the Republican Party in the presidential campaigns in the second half of the 20th century while its main part analyzes George H. W. Bush's campaign in 1988. This research aims to ascertain whether Bush's campaign carried racist features and whether the Republican candidate exploited the racial prejudice of white voters toward African Americans. Firstly, the thesis briefly outlines the history of racial discrimination in the United States and explores the presidential campaigns of Republican candidates who perfected the strategy of dog whistle politics when they enticed white constituents while sacrificing African-American votes by using implicit racial allusions that connected Blacks with words of negative connotations like "crime", "drugs", "law and order", or "welfare queens". Afterward, the thesis focuses on the strategy of Bush's presidential campaign in 1988. It analyzes some of the negative television commercials which strived to weaken the Democratic nominee Michael Dukakis and make him appear soft on crime. Predominantly the "Willie Horton" ad, which abused the story of an African-American man convicted of murder, helped to create this narrative. The study concludes with an analysis of speeches that George Bush delivered throughout...

Gender analysis of the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics in selected episodes of the TV series The Surgery in the Rose Garden 2
Mašková, Martina ; Dvořáčková, Jana (advisor) ; Jiroutová Kynčlová, Tereza (referee)
The thesis "Gender analysis of the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics in selected episodes of the TV series The Surgery in the Rose Garden 2" introduces readers to problematic passages seen from a gender perspective in episodes 633 to 666 of the soap opera The Surgery in the Rose Garden 2. Research has found that doctors treat female nurses, female doctors and often female patients in a paternalistic manner (the exception are friends, such as a neighbour). The counterpart to the angry and conservative doctor Čestmír Mázl, who is stereotypically masculine (authoritative, aggressive), is the Ugandan doctor Aisha Nakabugo Kingi, who is stereotypically feminine (sensitive, empathetic). She is also progressive and is liked by patients and colleagues in the hospital. Her different ethnicity is a problem for Mázl and two other characters, but doctor Kingi disproves the racist stereotypes with her behavior and eventually befriends Mázl. Both surrogacy and home birth are presented as problematic ventures that are not recommended because they can turn out badly; in the soap opera, they only turn out well because of luck.
