A good death
Malo, Klára ; Filipová, Markéta (referee) ; Raimund, Karolina (advisor)
In my thesis I am working on the motifs I have been working on for the last three years, namely the motifs of contemporary funeral rites of passage against the background of historical ones. I note how we consciously and unconsciously displace these rituals from our lives and wonder why this is so and whether anything could be done about it. The Good Death is a hand-embroidered tapestry that illustrates with a slight exaggeration some of the contemporary phenomena of people's relationship to death, and confronts the audience with their own attitudes towards it.

The experience of pedagogues with the theme of death in school clubs
NOVÁ, Nikola
This thesis targets the experience of pedagogues with the theme of death. I pay attention to the problem of grieving, acknowledging and understanding the concept of death. Concretely I pursue the progress of the concept of death, the experience of losing a close person and grieving expression. The purpose of this thesis is to find the experiences of pedagogues with children, who experience the loss of their loved ones. What kind of their personal experiences are and thoughts about this theme. Since this thesis is focused on after-school clubs and school-aged kids I pay attention to their development and fundamental description of after-school club and pedagogue jobs.

Child and the loss
KOVÁCSOVÁ, Karolína
The bachelor thesis addresses the issue of loss in the lives of preschool-age children. The theoretical part primarily focuses on the cognitive and emotional understanding of loss during the preschool period of a child. In connection with this, the theoretical section examines the most common losses in the lives of children within the family and preschool context. Additionally, other significant losses that children may encounter during the preschool period are introduced. The goal of the research part is to map the attitudes and experiences of parents and educators in preschools related to the losses that children cope with during this period. This objective will be achieved through qualitative research using semi-structured interviews. The research section also includes proposed activities that can help children recognize their emotions and work with them, assisting them in coping with losses encountered not only in the preschool period.

Hollywood
Šprincl, Petr ; Havlík, Vladimír (referee) ; Cenek, Filip (advisor)
Hollywood is an experimental 8mm film that illustrates the text in a diary of my grandfather. The film is notionally divided into two parts - a "landscape of memories" and "landscape of fear and death". Grandpa here remembers his childhood in Dolní Loučky, which is also associated with the death of his grandfather, friends, that there he had in childhood and last but not least, the place where he wants to become his last rest. In the second part of his character is intertwined with the "landscape of fear" which is filmed near Litvinov, bleak countryside illustrated his concern about a retirement home and a gradual loss of his will to live. He illustratively passes through this country and trying to find his salvation.

Annahof
Matoušek, Jaroslav ; Hradecká, Irena (referee) ; Ponešová, Barbora (advisor)
Anenský dvůr used to be a farm surrounded by fields just a few dozen meters from the Austrian border. It worked even during the fifties before the creation of the Iron Curtain. Agricultural activity slowly subsided, people disappeared. Nature began quietly but ceaselessly, in small portions, getting on its side after the interval division. Buildings and their surroundings started to change. Nature has changed in fifty years place unrecognizable. Clearly defined boundaries are erased, flash greenery spread to the surrounding area and has created a specific single entity defining the surrounding chaos. Such a situation is the basis for the layout of the new cemetery. Current enhanced peripheral borders are strengthened by planting oaks, while the interior is modified. Most of invasive acacia and other shrubs are removed. The original character of the place, floodplain meadow is reinforced by planting new trees, such as birch or cherry. The new cemetery consists of two main areas - internal groomed lawn under clearly defined square walls, which leads to deposition of ash and vice versa in the outer belt informal grown meadows are individual pavilions cemetery.

The Death Pit and the Glowing Swamp: A Permeation
Smutný, Jan ; Marek, Petr (referee) ; Cenek, Filip (advisor)
The work is connecting well-known symbols of alchemy and various esoteric traditions and giving them visual and narrative form. There is deconstruction and glorification of this type of philosophy in the same time. The characters of the story are symbolizing the german and slavic archetypes. Their voyage from the pit of death to the glowing swamp and vice versa is representing the ageless story of life and death, creation and destruction, body and soul, light and darkness. All the symbols are used in the ironic and serious way in the same time.
