Ladislav Klíma. His Reception in Czech Culture
Klíma, Matěj ; Vojtěch, Daniel (advisor) ; Kosák, Michal (referee) ; Málek, Petr (referee)
The thesis deals with the reception of Ladislav Klíma's work and personality in Czech culture. It is divided into four sections. In the first one we focus on the reactions to his work during his lifetime. In addition to the reflection on the plays and published books, we also follow small magazine polemics and partially explain the biographical background of published books. In the second section we examine the changes in the perception of Klíma after his death in 1928 until 1948. We present reviews of posthumously published books, obituaries and key interpretations of Klíma's thought. We examine the relations of avant-garde artists to Klíma and the personalities who significantly influenced the fate of his work. The third part presents reflections on Klíma's work after the communist coup in 1948 until the revolution in 1989.

The I against the world. Heroism and banality in the works of Ladislav Klíma
Klíma, Matěj ; Vojvodík, Josef (advisor) ; Hrdlička, Josef (referee)
The diploma thesis deals with the relationship between the subject and reality in the work of Ladislav Klíma. Klíma depicts reality as something distressing against which the I struggles. In his work he poses reality as a problem. Literary characters as well as numerous author autostylizations often get into conflict with reality and attempt to solve it by absurd behaviour, banalization of reality and heroization of the individuum. Creativity gains special importance in this situation, as it provides subject with a refuge from the external world. In the act of writing the I constitutes itself as rebelling against the "principle of reality". Inspirations for theoretical approach to the topic can be found in Freudian psychoanalysis, Nietzsche's concept of heroic man, as well as Heidegger's existential phenomenology.
