<p>Rad je zasnovan na teorijsko-empirijskom istraživanju načina kojima je moguće područjem književnosti unaprediti pismeno izražavanje učenika u mlađim razredima osnovne &scaron;kole primenom korelacijsko-integracijskog sistema pri obradi i utvrđivanju sadržaja iz književnosti. Istražuju se načini kojima se pobolj&scaron;ava recepcija dela i učenici motivi&scaron;u za stvarala&scaron;tvo na osnovu estetskog doživljaja koje je delo kod njih proizvelo. Rad se bavi i motivacijom i istražuje mogućnosti podsticanja učeničkog misaono&ndash;emocionalnog potencijala.<br />Književni tekstovi se mogu sagledavati sa aspekta culture izražavanja, ili jezika, time se ostvaruju bitni programski zahtevi. Istraživanja u na&scaron;oj disertaciji usmerena su na traganje za inovativnim načinima povezivanja književnosti i kulture izražavanja kako bi se bogatio leksički fond učenika, razvijala, negovala i unapredila njihova kultura pismenog izražavanja. Svi časovi u eksperimentalnim grupama realizovani su u skladu sa korelacijsko-integracijskim metodičkim sistemom u užem smislu funkcionalnim povezivanjem nastavnih područja u okviru predmeta srpski jezik i književnost.<br />Cilj rada je da istraži, analizira i ukaže na prednosti svrsishodnog, unutarpredmetnog povezivanja sadržaja iz različitih područja srpskog jezika i književnosti u skladu sa programskim zahtevima.<br />Doktorska disertacija se sastoji iz teorijskog dela i rezultata eksperimentalnog i empirijskog istraživanja. Teorijske hipoteze proverene su putem kauzalne metode, eksperimenta sa paralelnim grupama. Teorijski okvir istraživanja usredsređen je na sagledavanje teorijskih polazi&scaron;ta za definisanje ključnih pojmova istraživanja, utemeljenja metodičkih sistema i sagledavanje metodičkih pristupa obradi književnog teksta u cilju podsticanja učenika na usmeno i pismeno izražavanje. Uz teorijsku analizu, obja&scaron;njenja i prikaze date su prikladne metodičke aplikacije.<br />Za potrebe istraživanja konstruisani su testovi pismenog izražavanja (od I do IV razreda osnovne &scaron;kole), evidenciona lista sa skalom procene aktivnosti učenika na časovima i metodičke aplikacije. Na osnovu analize dobijenih rezultata uočeno je da se korelacijom i integracijom nastave književnosti i kulture izražavanja književni tekst sagledava sa vi&scaron;e stanovi&scaron;ta, omogućuje se raznovrsniji pristup datoj problematici, obogaćuje se leksički fond učenika i povećava motivacija za rad na času. Ovakvim funkcionlalnim načinom pristupanja znanja i ve&scaron;tine se stiču sa vi&scaron;e razumevanja, istraživački i stvaralački se prilazi književnom delu. Otkrivanjem značenja nepoznatih,<br />ili manje poznatih leksema podstiče se kognitivno-emocionalni razvoj učenika. Putem ovakvog pristupa tekstu učenici su motivisani za dublje razumevanje književnog teksta.</p>

Diploma thesis Construstion of Identity in the Emotional Culture deals with possible changes in the construction of identity of man after the fall of the millenium. The thesis stems from Eva Illouz's description of society which states that our present society is unprecedently emotional and rational at the same time. The goal of this thesis is to advocate the intitial statement, that in this organization of society the main source for construction of identity is no longer the consumption of material goods as it put notable social theorists since the second half of the twentienth century. I do not state that this remarkable era is fully over now, but I would like to point out, that consumption of material goods is loosing its strength in the process of identity construction due to the overall increasing living standards and mainly due to the fragmentarization of lifestyles. Considering the unprecedently high level of penetration of our society with emotion I consider them to be the new source of identity creation.

The Chimu culture developed on the North Pacific coast of today's Peru in the so-called Late Intermediate Period, i.e. approximately AD 1000 - 1476, after which it was dominated by the Inca. Brief characterization of the Chimu culture, supported by ethnohistorical and archaeological sources, is followed by description of its crafts, especially ceramic technology, morphology and iconography. Artifacts, i.e. object used, modified or made by people, may serve apart from practical also social and symbolic roles. Based on the theoretical background of evolution of power and society, different approaches to the study of artifacts' function, specialization, exchange and social complexity are outlined and tested on the Chimu pottery assemblage from the Ethnologisches Museum in Berlin. Quantitative and qualitative analysis of the 1832 available ceramic vessels, lacking the contextual find information, had to focus solely on the formal aspects of the specimens. Interpretation of the obtained results disproves primary position of pottery as means of social - political organization in the Chimu and Chimu-Inca societies (occupied by fine textiles and metal items), but still points out certain non-utilitarian aspects of both Chimu and Chimu - Inca styled pottery which probably represented a secondary socio -...

In Czech Republic, aesthetic plastic surgery experiences a boom. By offering body modification it also contributes to a change in perception of the body and physicality of a contemporary man in a certain way. In this dissertation I have attempted to view aesthetic plastic surgery as an institution to which three different paths lead - the path of a client, the path of a physician and the path of promotion. I have approached the topic through the interviews with people who have personal experience with aesthetic surgery. Foremost I was interested in what their individual experience with the body was, what brought them to the decision to have their body surgically modified and what was the role of contemporary culture which ceaselessly produces idealized images of a human body in this decision. To my research I have added interviews with physicians who practice at clinics of aesthetic medicine together with managers of these clinics who take care of the promotion. Through their bodies people express their personality, they strive to reach an ideal harmony and even a minor modification of appearance may significantly help them to achieve this. The body has become a project and plastic surgery a tool how to win control over it - despite the signs of aging, maternity and congenital defects.
