Poetry in the Service of Ideology
Hofmanová, Petra ; Peterka, Josef (advisor) ; Mocná, Dagmar (referee)
English Resume This thesis is based on thorough examination of collection of poems written by Ivan Skála "Co si beru na cestu" (What I take for a journey) in 1975. The collection got National award of Klement Gottwald and therefore it's possible to consider it to be one of the canonical pieces of socialistic literature. The thesis demonstrates the fact, that the collection is not representation of pure political lyrics. The collection is a combination of intimate and natural lyrics, also its propagandistic function is apparent because of its author's political involvement and orientation. The thesis discovers the ways of realization of propagandistic function and its most common methods. Motives of socialistic propaganda are more or less hidden in the whole collection, however they are present both in poems of purely political nature and natural and reflexive lyrics. Through an analysis of text levels (formal, thematic, language) I tried to characterize the ideological schemes contained in whole collection. One of the interesting conclusions is the fact, that the collection is characterized by the intimate manifestation of its author, who reflects his own original values. His lyrical hero is an ideal citizen characterized by passion for hard work a love for his country. He's disposed of any eroticism and...

Space of Zakarpattia in the Czech literature
Krabsová, Veronika ; Peterka, Josef (advisor) ; Mocná, Dagmar (referee)
This thesis deals with the phenomenon of Carpathian Ruthenia, or Zakarpattia, which is one of the most discussed issues in Czech literature. It expands the traditional view of the issue with a chronological survey of works by Czech authors who were inspired by Carpathian Ruthenia, and maps their writings created from the end of the 19th century to the beginning of the 21st century. It focuses on their interpretation, with particular reference to the topology. The first chapter presents the terminological problems associated with the territory of the Transcarpathian region and briefly summarizes its history. The next chapter submits an account of the exceptional nature of this area (its contrasts, periphery, regionalism, myths, exoticism, idylls and adventures), and attempts to characterize its uniqueness (backwardness, belief in superstitions, Jews, alcoholism, poachers, enchanting countryside and outlaws). Carpathian Ruthenia appears to be a place of secrecy, where hypothetical characters grow. The topology of the mountain is also an important element. The following chapter, the longest, presents most of the works by the Czech authors who were inspired by this region. The first of these authors came to Carpathian Ruthenia during the 1920s as government workers or tourists. Their works are arranged...

Absurdity in Zahradní slavnost and Veletrh splněných přání
Dobešová, Adéla ; Janoušek, Pavel (advisor) ; Mocná, Dagmar (referee)
Resumé The work presented here tries to analyze and compare two texts of seemingly incongruous authors: "Veletrh splněných přání", by Vladimír Páral and "Zahradní slavnost" by Václav Havel. Both pieces connects together the period and conditions of their creation. The selection is also motivated by the similarity of its topics, crowned finally with the almost identical point. Pervasive sense of the absurd is analysed on three levels in the text: in the plane of language, fonn and motif. ln the plane of language above aH is concerned the comparison of deviated fonn of language that creates the atmosphere of alienation, misunderstanding, grooviness and nonsense; in the fonnal plane is compared the use of fonnal means creating the feeling of the mechanisation of life and the oppressive atmosphere of everydayness achieved in particular through the use of: repetition, variation and shortening; in the third plane, the process of identity loss is examined: the motif of both texts is the loss of identity on the way to self-assertion in the (mechanism of) quaintly inhuman environment and confonnation to the absurd world. This work at the same time attempts to name the links of both authors to the context of the world (international) literature in particular to the absurd drama and experimental prose, whose interface...
