Špatenková, Jana; Sampey, Daniel Paul; Bubíková, Šárka

Arthur Miller was a twentieth century American playwright who wrote a play The Crucible about witches and witch hunts in Salem as an allegory to the McCarthyism which was the period of the persecution of putative communists in America. Heinrich Kramer and Jacob Spreger were German inquisitors living in the late fifteenth century in Germany who wrote the treatise on the prosecution of witches Malleus Maleficarum, which encouraged people to the persecution of witches. The aim of this paper is to analyse in detail the portrayals of women and witches in Salem compared with the condemnatory attitude of the authors of Hammer of the Witches.

Hrušovský, Ivan; Sampey, Daniel Paul; Bubíková, Šárka

The advancements in bionics, computer and technological devices, cognitive and communication sciences, and robotics, have altered the perception of the human body and made it into more of a design object. Transhumanism stresses that future human beings would be capable of redesigning their bodies, in hope to transcend to a more evolved and higher being.
