(in English): This paper deals with the beginnings of nationally-emancipatory and patriotic expressions, which became part of the Czech rural prose during the nineteenth century and which are reflected as nation-defending tendencies in protectorate cinematography by a medium of film adaptation in the twentieth century. The paper intends to interconnect both of these historical periods. Due to the political and social reasons there was increased amount of revivalist ideals of the national rural life in the classic Czech rural prose as well as in the films. The ideals came from national historical traditions and from the cult of the nature and countryside, in which the topos of a "little cottage" ("idyllic place") played the major role. These elements became part of the self-image of the Czech people during the rise of the modern Czech nation (i.e. from the beginning of the nineteenth century till the World War I) and were intensified in the era of national menace during the protectorate. Last part of the paper, which uses the example of the writer Božena Němcová and her novel Babička, shows the concrete expressions of these ideals, that became part of her cult during the decades.

This MA thesis deals with the topic of the cult of Mother Goddesses in Vietnam with special reference to South Vietnam. The subject is discussed from the point of view of cultural anthropology and special attention is paid to some specific aspects, which differentiate this popular belief from other religions. The cult of Mother Goddesses is characterised in greater detail on the basis of certain hypotheses and is viewed through the prism of various ethnologically oriented paradigms. The first part of the work describes the development of this cult, its Vietnamese specifics and its position in the context of the local religious milieu. Furthermore, the work discusses the characters of the individual Mother Goddesses and the collected theoretical knowledge is compared with the results of empirical research. On the background of the example of Mother Goddess Bà Chúa Xứ, the work elucidates certain topics, which are related to the cult of Mother Goddesses, but are considerably differentiated regionally. It is therefore necessary to present these aspects by way of concrete examples and to see them in the cultural-historical context. The second part of the work is based especially on the analyses of the results of the field research and it attempts to clarify the extent of the public knowledge about this...

L'analyse critique des différentes prospections archéologiques réalisées dans la péninsule du Sinaï montre clairement que la partie ouest du Sinaï central n'a jamais été explorée totalement avant l'inventaire qui a commencé au milieu des années 1990. Sans étude de cette zone, tout modèle d'occupation ancienne du territoire sinaïtique se révèle insuffisant. L'objectif principal de mon doctorat était de fournir des informations de nature géographique et anthropologique aux archéologues. D'un point de vue méthodologique, l'ensemble des structures archéologiques géoréférencées a été intégré dans un système d'information géographique (SIG). Ces vestiges ont été replacés dans leur contexte environnemental (climat, géologie, géomorphologie, végétation…). Parallèlement, j'ai engagé un travail de documentation anthropologique relatif aux populations bédouines actuellement installées dans la péninsule en général, dans le Sinaï central en particulier. Je me suis particulièrement concentré sur l'étude des structures et des limites tribales, de la gestion des territoires, des pratiques liées au culte des saints et de l'économie. Dans le cadre de cette réflexion ethnoarchéologique, les nouveaux acquis permettent d'établir une analyse comparative de l'occupation ancienne et actuelle du Sinaï central. Mes conclusions sont susceptibles d'être utiles à l'interprétation des vestiges archéologiques du Sinaï central et à l'élaboration d'un modèle de l'occupation ancienne de cette région durant l'Holocène. / Critical analysis of the archaeological surveys conducted in the Sinai Peninsula shows that the western central Sinai had never been explored before the beginning of this survey in the mid-1990's. Without a study of this area, models of the ancient occupation of the sinaitic territory were insufficient. The main objective of my PhD was to provide geographical and anthropological information to the archeologists. From a methodological point of view, all georeferenced archaeological structures were integrated into a Geographic Information System (GIS). These remains were placed in their environmental context (climate, geology, geomorphology, vegetation…). In parallel, I initiated an anthropological documentary work on Bedouin currently living in the Peninsula in general, in the central Sinai in particular. I particularly concentrated on the tribal structures and boundaries, the management of territories, the cult of the saints and the economy. As part of this ethnoarchaeological reflection, new learning can establish a comparative analysis of past and current occupation of central Sinai. The conclusions of my studies may help to understand the archeological remains in the central Sinai and to develop a model of the region's occupation during the Holocene.

This thesis engages in the Marian cult in Bohemia in the second half of the 17th century. The first, general part is the characteristic of the Marian devotion with the secondary literature, followed by a chapter on Czech prints with the Marian theme (1650-1750). The base of the thesis is the analysis of the work of J. I. Dlouhoveský (1638-1701). The analysis focuses on some forms of the Marian cult: pilgrimage, cult of saints (especially of Bohemian patrons), Marian devotion in the Habsburg dynasty and a folk piety. The last chapter deals with the literary self-presentation of Dlouhoveský (example of the Marian devotee). The appendix consists of the inventory of all works of Dlouhoveský, and of the graphs that summarize information about the Marian prints (1650-1750).

The subject of the thesis is to analyse the image of the Merovingian ruler in hagiographical sources concentrating on the period from the accession of Chlotar II. to the Frankish thrones in 613 until the fall of the dynasty in 751. While based on the texts, its task is to evaluate the nature of the Merovingian power, which underwent a process of Christianization by Church after baptism of Clovis I. The analysis reveals to what extent the inherited patristic ideas about political power were applied, and at the same time it comments on the issue of pagan and Christian sacrality. The study also deals with the relationship between royal power and ecclesiastical institutions in terms of administrative and spiritual, while referring to its important role in the change of dynasties. Key words: image of the ruler, hagiographical texts, Merovingians, pagan sacrality, Christian sacrality, cult of saints

The thesis "The cult of youth and the old age denial on the media image of celebrities: Content analysis of the Top Star Magazine TV show" explores the ways in which the values of the cult of youth exhibit and reproduce on the media image of celebrities. The analyzed material is a TV show about celebrities called Top Star Magazín which is broadcasted by Czech TV channel Prima Family. The research is based on the content analysis of the TV show and consists of two methodologically different surveys: a simple quantitative content analysis of episodes aired in 2012 and a qualitative content analysis of two randomly selected episodes. The research part of the thesis is supported by the theoretical and methodological parts. The methodological part describes the research techniques: choice of research method, setting of research questions and defining the sample. The theoretical part introduces all the essential theories, especially the media construction of reality, and also attends to the issues of age categories and social perception of people in different periods of life. The conclusion is that the media image of celebrities in the Top Star Magazine TV show is unified and significantly affected by the values of the cult of youth. One of the main symptoms is denial and repression of any signs of the...

O trabalho tem como objetivo perceber e compreender como as mulheres brasileiras de classe média-alta e urbanas (a partir de 1990) pensam a construção de sua auto-imagem, quais os modelos corporais que influenciam este processo, bem como as técnicas corporais para alcançá-los. Os eixos de análise são as representações corporais, já que uma das hipóteses centrais do projeto é que através da análise do ideal de corpo perseguido pelas mulheres, seja possível ter acesso a todo um sistema de percepção não apenas de si, mas também do mundo do qual estas mulheres fazem parte, já que o corpo pode ser visto como um microcosmo e atesta uma marca social. O trabalho investiga as relações entre corporalidade e identidade para as mulheres da amostra, questionando, entre outras coisas, se a obtenção de um corpo específico é, na percepção das mulheres, fundamental para que estas se sintam donas de um estilo de vida e de um pertencimento social específicos.

According to this, this dissertation tries to understand the the phenomenon of the charismatic domination of female religious leaders that use the media resources and which are the reason of this acceptance in a time that a revolution in gender relationships have been implemented mainly inside the religious field. In terms of research methodology, it was used a sociological analysis from videos available on their youtube channels, with the general goal to understand the acceptance of a conservative religious speech delivered by social medias. It was concluded that inside the liquid modernity proposed by Zygmunt Bauman, the agreement with the retrograde message, enunciated by two women by the media is accepted, because it proposes a kind of "confort", "safety" to the the ephemeral relations of this society. Contributing to interpret this religious phenomenon that makes pseudo female empowerment throught the binominal of modernity versus tradition. / O ?Culto das Princesas? da pastora Sarah Sheeva e o programa ?Casamento Blindado? da jornalista Cristiane Cardoso suscitam questionamentos no que tange ao empoderamento feminino, sua rela??o com a modernidade l?quida, a m?dia e a conceitua??o do tipo ideal de domina??o carism?tica weberiana, visto a import?ncia da discuss?o de g?nero no campo religioso, uma demanda urgente e necess?ria.

A presente pesquisa visa analisar aspectos da natureza das práticas rituais realizadas em determinadas estruturas absidais* de grande porte em sítios gregos da Idade do Ferro. Muitos autores afirmam que nessas estruturas as práticas rituais funerárias assumem as características de um verdadeiro culto heróico. Contudo, também observam que na grande maioria dos casos, é difícil estabelecer uma distinção clara entre as evidências que denotam funções sagradas e aquelas que denotam funções profanas. Para tentar entender melhor essas limitações de funções e também as próprias características dos aspectos religiosos da Idade do Ferro, selecionamos quatro sítios onde essas estruturas absidais são encontradas e datadas entre os séculos XI e VIII a.C.: o Mégaron A e o Mégaron B em Thermos, na Etólia, o Edifício Toumba em Lefkandi, na ilha da Eubéia, os Edifícios C, D e S em Asine, na região da Argólida e o Edifício A (ou Daphnephoreion) e o Templo D em Erétria, também localizada na ilha da Eubéia. Pretendemos realizar um estudo desses casos, relacionando o exame dos aspectos arquitetônicos com a análise da cultura material associada a essas estruturas. Comparando os dados entre si, objetivamos levantar algumas considerações sobre a natureza dessas práticas rituais, relacionando-as com a documentação textual e imagética disponível. Objetivamos por fim, indicar algumas questões a respeito da importância e das implicações dessas práticas rituais no contexto sócio-político, principalmente nos séculos IX e VIII a.C. / This research aims to analyze the aspects of ritual practices that took place in monumental apsidal structures* in Greek sites of Iron Age (1100 to 700BC). Many authors believe that these funerary practices are dressed up as a real hero cult. Though, they also observe that generally is really difficult to establish a clear distinction between the sacred and the profane functions fulfilled by these structures. We have chosen four sites where these structures can be found and dated to the 11th to 8th BC in order to understand better the interaction between the sacred and the profane activities, investigating the religious aspects of the Greek Iron Age: Megaron A and Megaron B in Thermos, the Toumba building in Lefkandi, Buildings C, D e S in Asine and Building A (or Daphnephoreion) and Temple D in Eretria. We intend to link the exam of architectural aspects to the archaeological material associated with the apsidal structures. Our purpose is to establish a comparative analysis between the archaeological data, the written and the image sources available for this period, providing considerations about the meaning, and the implications of the religious nature of these sites related to the rise of the polis

No. of bitstreams: 1 Selma Peleias Felerico Garrini.pdf: 6213671 bytes, checksum: b5525ec2f4437c1eead0c4c4e2ca5173 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2010-10-13 / Considering that the newsmagazine Veja is a publication of general interest and of main circulation in Brazil and that it has also been a handbook of socio-cultural behaviour since the 1960s., we chose as the object of this research the image of the female body and its meanings liable to be analysed in the cover reports of Veja Magazine which deal with the cult of the body, since its creation on 11th September 1968 to 2010. Which is the image of the female body that Veja has edited in the course of its 42 years of existence? This is the problem we discuss in this work. Based on this topic, there are other questions which guide this investigation: Which bodies have been excluded by the magazine, from its creation in 1968 until nowadays? Which corporal marks and meanings are codified in the media discourse of Veja? Which corporal features does the magazine reveal and depict? The general objective is to analyse the aesthetic metamorphoses gone trough by the manners of dealing with the body in this weekly newsmagazine and also to verify the way in which the newsmagazine constructed its dialogue with its readers. The specific objectives are: to register and to categorize the different types of bodies which have been presented in Veja, since the beginning of its publication and to identify which models are left out. The central hypothesis of this research is the fact that in media discourse there is no ideal of standardized body, but an unshapely body, normalized by such discourse, in accordance with the social customs and the consumption practices of each period of history, taking into consideration that the corporal spectacularization of Brazilian society is depicted, dissected, observed and dictated by Veja. To accompany the alterations of the bodies and to identify the transforming signs of the feminine image in Brazilian society, the corpus is compounded of 56 Veja covers and the respective cover reports which have as a central subject matter the cult of the body. The methodology of the research went through the following order: bibliographical revision in order to select theoretical bases concerning the question which is proposed in this work and documentary research in order to analyse the images of the body. This work offers the possibility of contributing to the new body studies in the field of Communication and to the analysis of the meanings of the body and behaviour images in Brazil´ s recent history / Considerando que a revista Veja é publicação de interesse geral e de maior circulação no país e também um manual de conduta sociocultural, desde os anos de 1960, o objeto desta pesquisa é a imagem do corpo feminino e suas significações passíveis de serem analisadas nas reportagens de capa da revista Veja que tratam do culto ao corpo, desde sua criação em 11 de setembro de 1968 até 2010. Qual a imagem de corpo feminino que a Veja editou ao longo dos seus 42 anos de existência? Esse é o problema deste trabalho. A partir dai, tem-se outras questões que norteiam essa investigação: Que corpos foram excluídos pela revista, desde sua criação em 1968 até os dias atuais? Que marcas e significações corporais são codificadas no discurso midiático da Veja? Que traços corporais a revista reflete e retrata? O objetivo geral é analisar as metamorfoses estéticas nos modos de tratar o corpo neste semanário, verificando-se ainda como a revista construiu seu diálogo com o leitor. Os objetivos específicos são: registrar e categorizar os vários tipos de corpos apresentados na Veja, desde o início de sua publicação, e identificar quais modelos são deixados de lado. A hipótese central desta pesquisa é que no discurso midiático não há um ideal de corpo padronizado, mas um corpo ultramedido, normatizado por tal discurso, de acordo com os costumes sociais e as práticas de consumo de cada período da história, considerando que a espetacularização corporal da sociedade brasileira é retratada, dissecada, observada e ditada pela Veja. Para acompanhar as alterações dos corpos e identificar signos transformadores da imagem feminina na sociedade brasileira, o corpus é composto de 56 capas da Veja e as respectivas reportagens de capa que têm como tema central o culto ao corpo. A metodologia de trabalho percorreu a seguinte ordem: revisão bibliográfica a fim de selecionar bases teóricas sobre a questão proposta neste trabalho, além de pesquisa documental para análise das imagens do corpo. O trabalho tem a possibilidade de contribuir com os novos estudos do corpo na área de Comunicação e da análise das significações das imagens corporais e comportamentais da história brasileira recente
