The Theme of Homosexuality in the Works of Japanese Modernists
 Abbasová, Veronika ; Tirala, Martin (advisor) ; Paulovič, František (referee) ; Heczková, Libuše (referee)
The PhD thesis deals with the topic of male homosexuality in the works of Japanese modernist authors; its aim is to discern in what ways homosexuality is portrayed in these works. In the theoretical part, the thesis first provides a wider definition of modernist literature, which encompasses not just the so-called pure literature but also popular literature works from the same period.

Starting from the Tokugawa period, the focus is on individual discourses on male homosexuality - legal, medical and popular.

Popular Paraphrases of Classical Japanese literature in the Edo Period Creative Strategies in Nise Murasaki inaka Genji
 Mikeš, Marek ; Tirala, Martin (advisor) ; Paulovič, František (referee) ; Löwensteinová, Miriam (referee)
This thesis deals with popular paraphrases of classical Japanese literature in the Edo period (1600- 1868). It analyses creative rewritings of a famous Heian tale Genji monogatari by popular authors of the Edo period, primarily Nise Murasaki inaka Genji by Ryūtei Tanehiko (1783-1842), which is one of the most successful works of Japanese early modern literature. The aim of this thesis is, utilizing elements of narrative analysis, to identify and interpret creative strategies applied by Tanehiko and his predecessors (Kogame Masuhide, Miyako no Nishiki and Okumura Masanobu) in works based on Genji monogatari and to find out what the relation was between their works and their Heian model, and if and to what extent Tanehiko's work was a unique occurrence between popular paraphrases of classical Japanese literature.
