Category of the Choice in terms of the Category of the Author and the Genesis Phase of the Literary Process
Kroulíková, Lucie ; Bílek, Petr (advisor) ; Hrbata, Zdeněk (referee)
The aim of the thesis is to demonstrate the importance of the category of choice in the literary process which has not been described systematically yet. The thesis explores the occurrence of the category of choice in all aspects of textual genesis, focusing on the author as the producer of the choice and investigating to what extent his choice influences the final form of the literary work. From the point of view of the principle of selection, the thesis deals with the choice in the actual world and its subsequent verbal representation implemented by the choice of specific literary processes and language means. The category is discussed in the broader context of its interdisciplinarity, with emphasis on both the conscious and unconscious nature of the category and the supra-individual determinants. In the conclusion, the thesis examines the author from the other side - as a product of the choice - and raises questions concerning the selection criteria for the constitution of the literary canon.

French travel books on Italy - the self and the poetics of a voyage (Montaigne, Montesquieu, Sade, Stendhal)
Balcarová, Eva ; Hrbata, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Pohorský, Aleš (referee)
The voyages to Italy constituted a considerable phenomenon of the European culture. This cultural tradition gradually created a rich corpus of peculiar literature. Every now and then, a travel journal or a traveller's correspondence comes out that has not been published before, there are many exhibitions of the artists that sought their inspiration beyond the Alps and it was because of the rich Italian art that Italy became the final destination of the Grand Tour. Apart from the Englishmen, the French were the most numerous group of travellers on the Apennine Peninsula. Even the political situation contributed to the impact of the Italian culture on the French one, especially the Great Italian Wars and the subsequent presence of the Medici family on the French throne. Four texts were chosen from the plenitude of French works dedicated to the voyage to Italy: the travelogues of Montaigne, Montesquieu, Sade and Stendhal. The choice of such eminent personalities, who got famous, in the first place, through other works than those depicting the journeys over the Alps, made it possible to focus on the way this voyage influenced their further oeuvre. In their perception of Italy, both the distinct eras of cultural development to which they belonged and their diverse personalities are reflected: Montaigne's journey...

Matysová, Kristýna ; Hrbata, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Kyloušek, Petr (referee) ; Hrbata, Zdeněk (referee)
Walking and writing the world. An approach to modernity in Bohemia and France from the beginning of the 19th century to the 1940's In Christian allegoric texts the Pilgrim traditionally symbolizes the journey of mankind to heaven. From the second half of the 19th century on, poets, travelers, and vagabonds pursued the quest of an afterlife from within city walls. This dissertation examines the different representations of modern wandering via an in-depth analysis of the theme as encountered in French and Czech literature and arts from the early 19th century to the 1940's. It reveals, in chronological order, the different artistic approaches to modernity. By bringing out the various patterns that emerge from the texts, while taking into account the historical and social contexts in which they were created, this work adds to existing knowledge on the cultural similarities between France and Bohemia. It also examines the different literary genres which originate from mankind's need to walk and write the world.
The Italian historical novel between 1827 and 1840
Löwensteinová, Klára ; Pelán, Jiří (advisor) ; Hrbata, Zdeněk (referee) ; Obstová, Zora (referee)
The doctoral thesis deals with the genre of an Italian historical novel between 1827 and 1840, tracks its evolution, constants, and ideological tendencies. The analyses of seven texts - chosen according some criteria, stipulating that the works always had to be the first historical novel of each author, they had to represent the advance of genre properly, and at the same time, had to be interesting literary types - focus on the genre of significant structural elements, i.e. they study the period of stories, plots, spatiotemporal relations, characters, narrators in relation to the readers and to the sources, proportion of fiction and history, historicism and ahistoricism, and paratext. The results of research bring surprisingly standardized repertoire of historical novels of the studied period. Single aspects - e.g. the critical choice of period, the preponderance of antagonists over protagonists, the tragic end of heroes, the viewpoint of narrators, historical parallels, create a clear anti-model of the modern, sovereign, and nascent Italian state.
Negative humanism of Michel Houellebecq
Kavalír, Ondřej ; Hrbata, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Šotolová, Jovanka (referee)
Tématem následující práce je románová tvorba Michela Houellebecqa pojímaná ve dvojím kontextu - v kontextu negativního humanismu a nového realismu, který se projevuje v současném francouzském románu. Pracovní hypotézou je teze o spojitosti nového realismu a negativního humanismu v opětovném zájmu o svět společenských jevů, v obavách o jeho stav i v antropologickém a existenciálním zkoumání lidského údělu. V prvních dvou kapitolách se pokusíme vytyčit základní body této spojitosti, jak v souvislosti s tradičním realismem, tak ve vztahu k současné realisticky zaměřené románové tvorbě (Dubois, Beigbeder, Duteurtre, Quintreau). Třetí kapitola je věnována formální výstavbě Houellebecqových románů, analýze jejich intertextových odkazů a ve své druhé polovině také popisu paralel a inspirací, jež spojují Houellebecqovy romány s autory klasické realistické tradice (Balzac, Flaubert, Zola) a s Célinem. Po tomto zařazení do kontextu současného i literárně historického se ve čtvrté, závěrečné, kapitole zaměříme na způsob, jakým se negativní humanismus projevuje především v románové antropologii Michela Houellebecqa, a na jeho inspiraci (Schopenhauer, Baudelaire).
The king and the pilgrim. To the question of the identity of the characters in the Italian novels of the 20th century
Štichauerová, Olga ; Hrbata, Zdeněk (referee) ; Flemrová, Alice (advisor)
This work is focussed on the question of problematic identity of literary characters. The characters are chosen from the modern italian novels to show the theme of crisis of a human identity as a constitutive element for the literature of the twentieth century. The first novel which is being interpreted and compared is "Un re umorista" by modernist Alberto Cantoni. The main character of this novel is the king of noname country who feels his "king's" identity as a role, only a mask. He considered himslef as two different persons, but one of them, the king, is not authentic, real. The second novel, called Il fu Mattia Pascal by Luigi Pirandello, is the story of the identity as a social sign and its loss. The identity of human being in Pirandello's conception is closely linked with a society and its rules and law. To have an identity means to be a part of society, community, family and the only meaning of identity is the social meaning. Mattia Pascal lose his identity when he is said to be dead. At fisrt he finds his situation as a challenge and new chance to be free, to start a new life and create it from basis on his own. He made a new identity for himself with a fictitious past and name. Then he tried to make this identity real and valid but eventually he realised that it is not possible and he could not...
