Šrajer, Martin ; Čeněk, David (advisor) ; Přádná, Stanislava (referee)
The Bachelor's Thesis The First Gore Scenes in the American Mainstream Cinema analyses the cinematography of the USA in the sixties through the topic of film violence. Its primary concern are explicitly violent scenes classified as "gore". Their emergence was connected with deeper social and industrial context, shaped since the end of the Second World War. The goal of the work is to describe factors which were crucial for the shift to a more graphical depiction of film violence and to present how these factors influenced Bonnie and Clyde and The Wild Bunch, two movies chosen for case studies.

Cultural melting in Czechoslovakia in the late fifties and early sixties in the view of young generation: the sixties are ours!
Černý, Lukáš ; Beneš, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Šmíd, Marek (referee)
This diploma thesis deals with the beginnings of the release of culture in the period of political- cultural melting in Czechoslovakia in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Cultural loosening has been evident since the second half of the 1950s and will be demonstrated on the example of Czechoslovak film, in which the dynamics of changes in Czechoslovak culture were very obvious. The main focus of my thesis will be the depiction of the young generation and the way their image is transformed and developed on screen, and I will not forget to mention the social critique and satire in the film, which also plays an irreplaceable role in the process of cultural melting. The aim of the thesis is to show that the power of the young generation has become a driver of cultural change and youth itself became a symbol of cultural melting, which I will demonstrate on selected film examples, which will reach the 1960s. The sixties became a symbol of the rebellion of the young generation and its heyday in the arms of Czechoslovak culture. Keywords The cultural melting, fifties, sixties, the young generation, czechoslovak film, view of youngs, Czechoslovakia

Blinková, Karolína ; Köpplová, Barbara (advisor) ; Sekera, Martin (referee)
My master thesis examines lifestyle in the sixties of the 20th century as depicted on pages of Vlasta weekly magazine. Vlasta has been published since 1947 and thanks to the long continuity and grounding in the Czech environment, it is considered to be a traditional magazine. It has gained and maintained its broad network of readers throughout the years and is considered to be a leading magazine of Czechoslovak women during the communist era. In my thesis, I focus on the content analysis of the magazine in years 1960 - 1968. The thesis is set in a historical, social and media context. I emphasize the topics that are closely related to lifestyle. The areas that determine the lifestyle and on which I focus are, in particular, housing issues, workload, family relations, education, fashion, art and leisure time.

In addition, I examine whether the magazine actually fulfilled the role of a weekly magazine for women, as it is well known that Vlasta was under the political supervision. The thesis is divided into two parts, the theoretical and analytical. The...
