Islam in Contemporary Czech Discourse: perception and representation of "the other"

Islam and its believers who reside in the Czech Republic are the main theme of this master thesis. My research focuses, first of all, on the Muslim presence in the country over the last ten years. Secondly, I aim to present Islam through the Czech media which is rather unexplored field till today. The text is divided in two parts: a theoretical one and a practical one. The first mentioned deals with the following topics: religiosity in the Czech Republic, history of Islam in the country (especially in Prague and in Brno), Muslims residing in the Czech Republic, image of Islam in the literature and widely debated Muslim question in Europe. The second part of the text is more pragmatic and it is exactly in this part that I lead an analysis of several blogs and Facebook pages emerged from a preliminary research on the Internet. Besides the Internet that is my source number one, I place emphasis also on other Czech mass media such as book market, audiovisual productions or press.
