Jakuba Katalpa and Characterization of Selected Prose Works
Hrabánková, Zuzana ; Králíková, Andrea (advisor) ; Bílek, Petr (referee)
This bachelor thesis is dedicated to the author's personality of contemporary Czech writer Jakuba Katalpa. It presents her personality and characterization of her selected prose works. This bachelor focuses on the analysis and above all the interpretation of the author's novels. Specifically, the works Němci (2012), Doupě (2017) and Zuzanin dech (2020). I chose these novels because I was intrigued by their themes and interested in how the various literary theoretical categories function in them. The analysis focuses on narrators, characters, space, time, language, composition and narrative style. Based on the analysis of these novels, a summary comparison of all these aspects is made.
The fiction reading habits and experiences of Czech Language and Literature students: a focus group study
Výborná, Adéla ; Kuzmičová, Anežka (advisor) ; Bílek, Petr (referee)
The thesis deals with the question of how the study of the Czech language and literature affects the reading of fiction, while assuming that the expert readers have a different approach to reading than the non-expert population. The work concentrated on empirical research using the focus group method, which was carried out at four universities in the Czech Republic (6 groups, 30 participants). The method allowed to explore the collective nature of the phenomenon while generating data going deep into the topic. The aim of the work was to find out how the students of the Czech language and literature approach the reading of fiction as an experience, whether and how this approach has changed in the course of study, and how it varies depending on the study of differently designed study programs. On the one hand the findings of the work are theoretical in nature, but they are mainly directed at practice. The thesis can serve as a guide to enhancing academic competences of students while promoting their positive attitude to reading fiction as an activity that, by its very nature, should bring pleasure.
Myths and Metamorphoses: Fantastic Worlds in Contemporary Japanese Fiction
Koníček, Marcel ; Šebek, Josef (advisor) ; Bílek, Petr (referee) ; Abbasová, Veronika (referee)
This dissertation is concerned with fantastic elements in contemporary Japanese literature. Fantastic elements function in it as a productive narrative tool. However, sufficient attention has not been given to them in this context. The goal of this thesis is to map the meaning and functions of these elements through detailed analysis of literary works using a comprehensive theoretical and analytical framework. These analyses are performed on selected works of four contemporary Japanese authors - Murakami Haruki, Ōe Kenzaburō, Medoruma Shun and Tawada Yōko. Fantasy is in the context of this thesis perceived as a modification of alethic modality of the fictional world, of what is possible and impossible in said world, and as a means of expression utilising the opposition between natural and supernatural domains of the world. The relationship between these domains therefore becomes an object of my inquiry. Because of this the analytic framework of the thesis is based on the theory of fictional worlds represented by Lubomír Doležel, Nancy Traill, Umberto Eco and Thomas Pavel. The fictional world theory allows me to describe the structure of the domains of the fictional world of a novel, characterise the relationship between these domains and to what extent is the existence of supernatural in this world...
The imagine of the Author in the Educational Context
Černovská, Tereza ; Králíková, Andrea (advisor) ; Bílek, Petr (referee)
(in English): The thesis deals with the phenomenon of the image of the author, specifically the thesis is focused on the image of the poet Jiří Wolker in the secondary school literature education. The theoretical definition of concept of the author's image reflects on previous interpretations. The construction of Jiří Wolker's image is realized on the basis of high school textbooks, manuals and reading books. The aim of this thesis was to find out how the constants of Jiří Wolker's image changes from the 1950s to the 1920s and what aspects contribute to the image of this author, as well as to analyze the interpretations of the works and the constants of the author's life. The thesis first deals with the definition of the aspects affecting Wolker's image, then moves on to the individual constants, namely the author's life and the interpretation of his works before and after year 1989. The changes in the interpretation of the author's position and work for the purpose of teaching literature are compared. The thesis serves to investigate this didactic problem and thus contributes to previous similar research work by its focus on the image of another writer. The findings of the thesis are then primarily theoretical in nature, generating an image of Jiří Wolker in teaching and its transformations.
Participatory creation of fictional world on the SCP Foundation forum
Manďák, Michal ; Bílek, Petr (advisor) ; Krásová, Eva (referee)
This thesis explores the SCP Foundation internet forum, its community and work. It consists of three parts. The first part offers a description of the forum's functioning and of its content. It mainly describes its participatory model, which allows all of its users to contribute to the forum's content and to review already published texts. It also describes the strict formal requirements of the SCP articles, which make up the majority of the forum's content. The second part concerns itself with the forum's cohesion. Even though the forum's authors should be in theory working on a single fictional world, their works may contradict each other. This work explores the convergent forces inside the forum from three perspectives: the perspective of fictional worlds generated by the texts, the perspective of canon formation, and the perspective of the constitution of meaning in the texts. It suggests a conceptual cluster model for the forum's set of fictional worlds, describes the role of authorities and generic users in the formation of a dynamic canon, shows the central motivic conflict of an institution and the supernatural, and describes the possibilities of digital text. The third part of this thesis offers an analysis of one of the forum's authorial continuities, on which it demonstrates conclusions...
Textual Transformations of Czech Cover-versions of Foreign Lyrics
Kácová, Barbora ; Bílek, Petr (advisor) ; Vojtíšek, Ondřej (referee)
(in English) This bachelor's thesis deals with Czech cover versions of English songs created during the period of normalization. In the first part of the thesis, a more general cultural framework is defined, in which the cover version is understood as a set of mechanisms of cultural transfer. It is therefore also necessary to take into account the socio-political context (i.e. especially the adaptation to the needs of the past regime's ideology). Although, this thesis is primarily literary-theoretical, it also takes into account historical and musically-theoretical interpretations. The second part of this thesis mainly focuses on the actual comparison of individual text pairs, which is carried out on the basis of an analysis of the preservation of the factual content of the text components (narrative and phonetic components, metaphorical apparatus).
Semiotics of Comics. Communication of text-image media.
Arndt, Tereza ; Fišerová, Michaela (advisor) ; Michalovič, Peter (referee) ; Bílek, Petr (referee)
Semiotics of Comics. Communication of text-image media. Abstract This dissertation thesis focuses on the ways in which comics transfer messages and what tools they use in a communication situation. The hypothesis of the work consists in the assumption that the comics in the process of communication works with specific and at the same time medially shared means. These procedures are viewed from a philosophical and empirical (artistic-scientific) point of view. Following the analysis of the way of handling certain types of signs within the framework of visual-text works of art, the concept of compon, which means composed placement of a figure, will be introduced and described. The large part of the work is devoted to this term and, in a broader sense, it also represents evidence of that paradoxical specific and shared style of communication of audiovisual media. Attention will be paid to the description of the comics code and principles that participate at various levels in the constitution of comics works, their form and the character of the narrative. The theoretical basis is represented by the works of Roland Barthes, Umberto Eco, Jurije Lotman, W. J. T. Mitchell and Hilary Chute. Keywords: comics, code, imagetext, compon, Yuri Lotman, comunication
The Theme of Metamorphosis in Daniela Hodrová's Poetics
Melichová, Michaela ; Činátlová, Blanka (advisor) ; Bílek, Petr (referee)
The bachelor's thesis deals with the poetics of the Czech novelist and literary theorist Daniela Hodrová, with a special focus on her last three published novels Vyvolávání (Malvern, 2010), Točité věty (Malvern, 2015) and Ta blízkost (Malvern, 2019). The unifying moment of these novels is sensed and subsequently sought in the actualization of the myth of the descent into the underworld. This is already manifested in earlier prose, and is most prominently thematized in Theta (Československý spisovatel, 1992) as a descent into Dante's Inferno, by which Hodrová means the City of Torment. The author's most recent novels further develop this motif in relation to the Sumerian myth of Innana's descent into the underworld and the Orphic myth of Ovid. The focus of the thesis is an intended narratological analysis of these myths and their meaning in the context of the author's work. Keywords: narratological analysis, literary interpretation, Daniela Hodrová, novel, transfiguration, descent, Ovid, myth, city, underworld, hell, Dante, Vyvolávání, Točité věty, Ta blízkost, Inanna, initiation, death
Processes of adaptation of Czech singer-songwriters' poetics in the 1990s
Matys, Tomáš ; Bílek, Petr (advisor) ; Vojtíšek, Ondřej (referee)
The bachelor thesis focuses on the phenomenon of Czech singer-songwriting in the context of continuities and discontinuities of the 1990s, which have been rather neglected by previous research due to its centre of gravity in the preceding period. Through a motivic analysis of the contemporary song production of selected singer-songwriters ("poets-with-guitars", "folk- poets", but also "folk-outsiders"), it reflects on the possible transformation of their authorial poetics and the search for new themes, or, on the contrary, shows the process of canonization and the contextual attachment of the personality and its production to the past regime. Part of the work, therefore, is to trace the filling of the free media space by the peculiar market production of the chosen singer-songwriters on the background of Bourdieu's concept of the literary field. It is precisely the research into the content of music and book media that is meant to illustrate who was releasing new and who was merely "recycling" old, but period-rooted hits. Keywords: singer-songwriter - poet-with-guitar - folk-poet - folk-outsider - long nineties - half-time - adaptation - canonization - production - literary field
The theological reflection on the selected motives in contemporary Czech poetry
Sixta, Tomáš ; Bílek, Petr (referee)
The aim of this thesis is a theological reflection of contemporary Czech poetry. Specifically, the thesis deals with collections Úloža by Ivan Martin Jirous, Darmata by Petr Hruška and Osip míří na jih by Marie Iljašenko. It focuses mainly on their concepts of man, the world and transcendence. The work is divided into three chapters, the first two being a necessary prelude for chapter three. The first part of the thesis presents some of the ways in which theology can relate to poetry. Language, imagination and metaphor are presented as common fields of both theology and poetry. Furthermore, this chapter defines two possible theological approaches to poetry: The theological approach to poetry as an object of theology and as a subject of theology. In the second chapter, there is literary analysis of the collections, which is necessary for the third part. In the third part, which is the main focus of this thesis, a theological reflection of selected collections is presented. Its aim is not only to examine whether and how the selected themes in the collections correlate with their conception in theology, but also to present what they may be inspirational for theology.
