Hrušovská, Petra ; Šotolová, Jovanka (advisor) ; Belisová, Šárka (referee)
The present thesis focuses on French Caribbean fiction writers (from Haiti, Guadeloupe, Martinique and French Guiana) in Czech translations. The principal subject of the thesis are the specific challenges that translators have to face when translating these authors into Czech. The description of these challenges is preceded by a general presentation of this type of literature. Chapter 1 traces the development of French Caribbean literature (the concepts of francité, négritude, antillanité, créolité and littérature-monde) and defines its characteristic features (especially communication settings and language choices) from the point of view of postcolonial theories. Chapter 2 adds more features by using the comparison of literary translation and postcolonial writing, revealing that they share certain principles and methods. Specific questions and challenges related to the translation of Caribbean literature are also treated in this chapter. Chapter 3 addresses the issue of French Caribbean fiction in the Czech Republic.

Šidíková, Eliška ; Šotolová, Jovanka (advisor) ; Belisová, Šárka (referee)
The aim of the thesis is to map Czech translations of French-Canadian and Quebec literature from the first translation (Louis Hémon: Maria Chapdelaine - Czech translation from 1923) to the present day. The theoretical part first defines the terminology related to Francophone Canadian literature and presents the development of this literature and its main themes and movements. Next, the Czech receiving environment is characterized, with particular emphasis on the role of translation in Czech literature and the political and economic constraints that have affected the literature in the 20th and 21st centuries. At the core of the work are Czech translations from French-Canadian and Quebec literature. The periods in which Czech translations were published are identified, and an assessment is made of which authors were introduced to the Czech milieu and how. The thesis also examines the reasons for and circumstances of Czech editions of francophone Canadian works. Attention is also given to literary scholarship on Francophone Canadian literature in Czech. Critical and readerly reception of works of Francophone Canadian literature in the Czech Republic also has its place in the work. The thesis is accompanied by three appendices, the first of which provides the most complete inventory of Czech...

Francophone autobiographical graphic novels in the Czech Republic: reception and translation from a multimodal perspective
Kaplan, Eliška ; Šotolová, Jovanka (advisor) ; Brunel, Aude (referee)
This thesis examines the reception and translation of francophone autobiographical comics in the Czech Republic. It is based on theoretical knowledge from the fields of theory and history of autobiographical comics, multimodality theory and comics translation. Based on data from library and book databases, and catalogues, it presents an inventory of autobiographical comics published on the Czech book market between 1990 and 2022. This inventory is supplemented by data from semi-structured interviews with Czech publishers, from online reader databases, public libraries, and media; the analysis of these sources is the starting point for a detailed description of the situation and position of francophone autobiographical comics on the Czech market. According to the data collected, francophone autobiographical comics account for approximately 20 % of the autobiographical comics offer in the Czech Republic, and Czech-published francophone autobiographical comics do not accurately reflect the diversity of this type of work abroad. The thesis, therefore, presents five francophone autobiographical comics and excerpts from their translations which are based on Sara Dicerto's (2018) model of multimodal text analysis, which is presented in the thesis as a comprehensive and useful model for translation...

Maurin, Anna ; Šotolová, Jovanka (advisor) ; Brunel, Aude (referee)
This MA thesis describes selected aspects of the intertextuality of a literary work as a problem of translation. The topic of intertextuality is presented in the context of a simulated translation order of a novel by the French author Chloé Delaume, Les Sorcières de la République (Seuil, 2016). The source text is analysed according to the principles of formal and thematic interpretants as described by L. Venuti.
