Dlhopolček, Šimon ; Andrš, Dušan (advisor) ; Lomová, Olga (referee)
This bachelor thesis focuses on the novel Notes of a Desolate Man (Huang ren shouji 荒人手記, 2011) by Taiwanese author Zhu Tianwen 朱天文 (born 1956). The thesis will briefly introduce the literary-historical background of the era, including the short biography of the author, her work and literary influences. The core of the bachelor thesis is a detailed motivational-thematic analysis of the novel Notes of a Desolate Man with a focus on homotextuality, ie. literary depiction of homosexual experience. The thesis analyses the motives and strategies that the author used to portray homosexuality and evaluates the extent to which these "notes" of the man-gay narrator are the personal testimony of Zhu Tianwen as a woman in contemporary society and as an author. Keywords: Chu T'ien-wen, Zhu Tianwen, Huangren shouji, Notes of a Desolate Man, Taiwanese literature, Tongzhi wenxue, homosexuality, homotextuality
