Queer journalists in the Czech media space
Jezberová, Gabriela ; Vochocová, Lenka (advisor) ; Maňák, Vratislav (referee)
The topic of this thesis is the feelings of queer journalists in the Czech media space. The author interviewed 13 queer journalists from different types of media. The theoretical framework of this thesis is identity theory, feminism, liberalism, conservatism and queer theory. The research is designed to be qualitative, drawing on grounded theory practices to analyse how queer journalists' sexual orientation or gender identity affects their journalistic work through open, axial and selective coding. It answers how these journalists perceive the atmosphere in the newsroom, whether there are any barriers that make their work difficult, and what coping mechanisms they use to help them deal with stressful situations caused by their orientation or identity. The analysis also focuses on their perceptions of gender and sexual diversity in newsrooms, how their queer identity is reflected in the treatment of media topics, how they perceive the treatment of queer topics in the Czech Republic, or whether any obstacles arise in their fieldwork. In total, thanks to the three-level coding, it was possible to identify four categories that shield specific categories and encompass several problematic aspects. Thus, the basic themes are the field and newsroom environment, the impact of queer identity on media...

Size matters: a qualitative analysis of discussions under plus-size fashion articles in women's online magazines
Jonášová, Mirka ; Vochocová, Lenka (advisor) ; Reifová, Irena (referee)
In the digital age, online platforms have become a critical space that facilitates the exchange of views on many topics. In addition to information, the internet is thus also a provider of space for the democratization of voice, toxicity and frequent discursive clashes. For example, the phenomenon of online deliberation around the display of body standards and the representation of plus-size individuals has come into focus in recent years. Indeed, plus-size fashion has become a significant part of the fashion industry in recent years, and with it, media discourse. Although it is increasingly appearing in mainstream media, its acceptance and representation is still met with some resistance and a phenomenon called fat shaming is emerging. Indeed, the medium of debate - online discussion - often amplifies incivility and lends itself to the phenomenon of online toxicity. The topic of plus-size representation of women is not just a debate about aesthetics or personal preferences; it intersects with larger social issues, including gender role settings, beauty standards, and the very nature of social acceptability. The premise for this research is that gender stereotypes regarding standards and body image are often influenced by patriarchal structures and that these standards are likely to be reflected in...

Gendered Discourse: Latina Immigrant Identity Representation in American News Reports
Hansen, Emmalynn ; Kotvalová, Anna (advisor) ; Plechanovová, Běla (referee)
Název práce Genderovaný diskurz: Reprezentace latinské imigrantské identity v americkém zpravodajství Klíčová slova Neoliberalismus, feminismus, Spojené státy, Latinská Amerika, imigrace, diskurz, hegemonie Autor: Emmalynn Hansen Abstrakt Zvýšená všudypřítomnost kapitalismu v globalizovaném světě zahrnuje rostoucí nadnárodní vztahy, zvýšené globální nerovnosti a polarizovanou politiku, což jsou faktory, které ovlivňují migrační toky a vedou k rozdílným podmínkám pro přistěhovalce. Práce se pokouší porozumět reprezentaci identity imigrantek z Latinské Ameriky do Spojených států a zjistit, jak může diskurz podporovat podřízenost na základě migračního statusu, rasy a pohlaví, a nakonec sledovat, jak ji posiluje stále mocnější a všudypřítomnější systém neoliberálního kapitalismu a globalizace. Prostřednictvím kritické diskurzní analýzy identity žen z Latinské Ameriky, které imigrují do Spojených států, práce zkoumá, jak rostoucí fenomén globalizace a neoliberálního kapitalistického řádu ovlivňuje identitu latinskoamerických imigrantek, a to na základě zpravodajských článků z populárního amerického zpravodajského deníku The New York Times. Práce vychází z kritických teorií hegemonie, moci a ženství a odklání se od klasického neoliberálního přístupu, který považuje globální hegemonii za přirozenou díky nestranným...

The Role of Gender in the Media Coverage of 2023 Czech Presidential Election
Šimková, Jana ; Rektorová, Lucie (advisor) ; Lütke Notarp, Ulrike (referee)
The aim of this diploma thesis was to find out, what role gender played in the media coverage of Danuše Nerudová's campaign for the presidential election in 2023. In the theoretical part, the concept of gender is explained as well as its connection to politics and how gendered language influences the political environment. Attention is paid to gender stereotypes, the historical development of women's representation in politics, and to specific obstacles that prevent women from being as active in public life as men. Specific impacts of stereotypes are shown through the examples of two well-known foreign female politicians, Hillary Clinton and Zuzana Čaputová. The context of the Czech presidential election in 2023, the campaign of Danuše Nerudová and the ways in which she herself has related to the issues of feminism and gender are then described. The methodological part presents the chosen research methods, qualitative and quantitative content analysis, and the media examined: Aktuálně, Deník Referendum, iDnes, iRozhlas, Echo24, Heroine, HN, Novinky, Reflex, and Seznam Zprávy. The qualitative research describes what the media most often focused on in relation to gender and the female candidate; the position of women in politics, criticism of Nerudová due to her lack of authenticity overconfidence,...

Art and Motherhood
Olivová, Kateřina ; Koubová,, Alice (referee) ; Kraĺovič,, Ján (referee) ; Klodová, Lenka (advisor)
The dissertation Art and Motherhood deals with the influence of motherhood on the experienced reality of women active in artistic practice - artists, theorists, curators and activists. Using feminist and artistic research methods, I collect and analyse the specific experiences of individual mothers. Capturing the breadth of possible views, perspectives and experiences that motherhood brings is essential to my research. I am not concerned in isolation instances of specific artistic realisations, but rather with the processes, environments and contexts of making, and the creative and life strategies employed in reconciling the personal and professional roles of individual women artists. The content of a series of thirty-five conducted interviews comprises the research material for the work, but is also the source for the practical component of the dissertation - the book Milk and Honey co-published by the wo-men and AVU publishing houses. The practice of two related community-based mothers' groups - Breastfeeding Guerillas and Mothers Artlovers is also examined. While Breastfeeding Guerrilla is a support group for mothers promoting and normalizing breastfeeding, Mothers Artlovers is a support group for parents in the arts. All of these research units set a community-based perspective on all research affecting the universal, multi-layered and inherently collective topic of motherhood.
