Guidelines

Konverze je tématem, které v párské komunitě vyvolává debatu po celé moderní období, od prvních konverzí Pársů ke křesťanství pod britskou nadvládou až po současné soudní spory ohledně postavení žen ze smíšených manželství. V této práci se budu zabývat vývojem této otázky se zaměřením na východiska a pozice hlavních skupin, které se v debatě angažují. Chci ukázat, proč se právě konverze stala tak kontroverzním tématem a kterak postoje jednotlivých stran k tomuto problému reflektují jejich ideologii.
