Possible Uses of Camp in Interpretation of Czech Contemporary Cultural Background
DEMETER, Peter
Proposed dissertation is focusing on specific eccentric aesthetics based on hyperboles, ambivalent meanings and ironic attitude, which in Anglo-American background is so called camp derived from French. Camp origin can be found on the court of Louis XIV, where we can notice passionate tries to cultivate affected court-style culminating in baroque metaphor of the world as a theatre. Due to impact of modernity and postmodernity, scope of the camp extended to various cultural spheres and phenomenon began to corelate through its eccentricity with common marginality, respectively with something what is different from "normality" and "genuineness" also settled schemes of perception or ways of historical reflection. Goal of proposed dissertation is based on theoretical-historical interpretations to trace mentions of camp (mainly in literature) with focus on Czech background, where its rich interpretational potential can clarify most of social-cultural tendencies.

Procitnutí jiné lásky. Rezonance tématu sexuální jinakosti v české divadelní tvorbě.
DEMETER, Peter
The present rigorous thesis focuses on the representations of sexuality and otherness in Czech culture, mainly on representations of ?queer love? in Czech theatre. Its aims are to analyse and to compare theatre plays which have been resonating in Czech and Czechoslovak social discourse since the end of 19th century. The research focuses on Czech original plays as well as foreign plays, which have been staged in Czech theatres. The analysis and the comparation also include play reviews and other texts and facts. For that purposes, it is relevant to apply theories of ?new historicism?, the performative concept of representation and the Czech and Czechoslovak everyday history. The results of the research describe transformation of sexuality and otherness and their Czech theatre representations in cultural and historical fields.
