ABSCTRACT The present thesis deals with the magazine Proměny, quarterly of The Society for Science and Arts, mapping the first seven years of its existence (1964-1970), i.e. the period under the editorship of Ladislav Radimský.

The commentary focuses on the years 1964-1970 as well; nevertheless, it also briefly outlines the whole time span of the magazine's publication as well as the whole existence of The Society for Science and Arts. The thesis analyzes Proměny in the light of the historical and cultural context, comparing it with other exile journals.

Manová, Vilma ; Wiendl, Jan (advisor) ; Holý, Jiří (referee)

The thesis focuses on the artists born during the 1960s and the early 1970s - Petr Borkovec, Martin Langer, Pavel Kolmačka and Petr Hruška. The thesis concentrates on the analysis of their first two individual collections published between 1990-1998. What is important is the fact that the authors are not negatively influenced by the cultural politics from the communism era. First, the thesis outlines the events on the Czech literary scene after the revolution. Then it offers a view of the individual poets' works. This part also presents the critical reflection of the period, while the main focus is on the interpretation of poetic works. Through analytical reading this thesis follows the fundamental motive constants and it also reflects other important components of the early authorial poetics. The aim is to point out the tendencies in young Czech poetry at the time of sudden multiplicity of possibilities and to prove or disprove the presence of traditional poetics. Keywords: Czech poetry, 1990, poetic debut, Petr Borkovec, Martin Langer, Pavel Kolmačka, Petr Hruška
Manipulation in Literature
Brožová, Ladislava ; Holý, Jiří (advisor) ; Svatoň, Vladimír (referee)
The theme of this diploma thesis is the manipulation in literature as a dialog between the I and the You or the I and the It. This I has a different position in each of the two types of manipulation. In the first type the I is the subject of manipulation - that is a manipulator. In the second one the I becomes the object of manipulation - thus a victim of a manipulator because the power over the I has been overtaken by other character's consciousness. The I and the You type is represented by an outside dialog (between characters), whereas the I and the It type is demonstrated in an inside dialog which does not occur between the hero and another character but between the hero and a voice of other character's consciousness. The opening part which deals with the manipulation in different contexts (philosophical, political and psychological) is followed by a part where I interpret the manipulation's representation in literature, especially in the works of Dostojevskij (The Double, The Village of Stepanchikovo, Notes from Underground, The Eternal Husband). With the characters of this author we can view the dark side of the human mind and also have a close look at various forms of arbitrariness, especially at the manipulation with the others.
