No full textEthnography of women's bodybuilding competition Bc. Adriana Mandíková Thesis supervisor: PhDr. Marek Halbich, Ph.D. Abstract The aim of this diploma thesis is to provide a comprehensive ethnographic picture of women competing in bikini fitness, wellness fitness, bodyfitness and physique. The research on the chosen topic took place between 2017 and 2019 through participatory observation at competitions in fitness and bodybuilding organized by the Association of Bodybuilding and Fitness of the Czech Republic. The observation was continuously complemented by interviews with competitors, coaches, dieticians, members of the association and other informants who helped me to complete the picture of this subculture. In my work I focus on selected domains, such as the days of competitions and preparation for them, doping, the fight against criticism coming from the society, the financing of sports and the overall impact of this lifestyle on the health and personal life of competitors. Key words Fitness, bodybuilding, women, bikiny fitness, wellness fitness, bodyfitness, physiqu

No full textRoudel: Ethnographic insight into the experience of the players of Dungeons and Dragons Vedoucí práce: PhDr. Marek Halbich, Ph.D. Bc. Tereza Marešová 2022 Abstract In this project, I try my hand at ethnography of the game Dungeons and Dragons through the experience of one specific group of players in a long-term game campaign which through game elements builds sociality between players. I deal with issues of binarity of everyday life and game experience through the theory of the Magic Circle, the virtual pre-cybernetic nature of this game and community and its influence on building relationships, game structure, rules and ways of interacting with them, reasons why players return to this game repeatedly and possible problematic consequences. I also look at my experience with this very ethnography- friendly game, which supports my conclusions. The research is conducted in a closed group of Czech players holding through two campaigns between 2019 and 2022, with additional interviews from other volunteers from the ranks of Czech Dungeons and Dragons players.

“Poland represented existential experiences of resistance, political experiences and intellectual impact”. Marek Zybura in conversation with Wolfgang Templin, the author of the German biography of Józef Piłsudski
No full textWolfgang Templin (born in 1948) was active in the democratic resistance in the former GDR. He co‑founded the party Bündnis 90 in reunified Germany and was writer and author of history books.

Opening sentences in Marek Krajewski’s novels
No full textOpening sentences raise a lot of interest of both linguists and common Polish speakers. It is evident from numerous websites in which Internet users share their observations on the best opening sentences of books (most often novels), as well as theoretical papers and writing guides. The analysis of opening sentences of ten novels by Marek Krajewski (co-author of two of them being Mariusz Czubaj) is to provide an answer to the question to what extent the utterance opening of the texts of the Wroc³aw-based prose writer fulfill the requirements to be met by such type of constructions. It turns out that most crucial are syntactic and semantic features rather than lexical ones. The clash between theoretical assumptions and the M. Krajewski’s writing practice shows that opening sentences of his novels not always fall into classical determinants of incipient formulas. It also illustrates the thesis that a skillful writer does not need to cling to theoretical assumptions to create good opening sentences and novels translated into nearly twenty languages
