Annotated translation: The beginning of the Schleswig-Holstein question
Novotná, Markéta ; Žárská, Monika (advisor) ; Veselá, Gabriela (referee)
The purpose of the doctoral thesis written by Joachim Daebel is to describe the Schleswig-Holstein movement and its impact on Germany in particular. This topic in the way how it is conceived in the given thesis is highly interesting from the translators point of view. There are two reasons for this fact. The first one is a rather low concern about it in the Czech area which leads to the uncertainty about how to translate the terminology of history and law which appears in a large amount. The second one is the complicated language used by the author of the thesis. The paper is written with the use of an extremely difficult syntax which emphasizes the differences between Czech and German. The frequency of technical terms and complicated syntax are the main features of the doctoral thesis which cause problems and must be solved by the translator. The aim of this annotated translation is to create an equivalent version of the original text from a functional point of view with the use of a convenient language.

Zobrazení japonské kultury v románu The Narrow Road to the Deep North od Richarda Flanagana
Novotná, Markéta ; Topolovská, Tereza (advisor) ; Chalupský, Petr (referee)
The aim of this MA thesis is to describe and evaluate the manner in which Richard Flanagan captured Japanese culture in his 2013 novel, The Narrow Road to the Deep North. Since the main motif of the work is the life of an Australian prisoner of war, a topic that has been significant in the creation of Australian national identity, the novel is firstly analysed from its position in the wider context of Australian literature. Richard Flanagan provided the readers with a complex work, which presents the given motif not only from the perspective of the Australian prisoners-of-war, but also from the perspective of their predominantly Japanese captors. The inclusion of the points of view of the Japanese ranks the novel among the contemporary adaptations that provide a more comprehensive view on the events of World War II. For that reason, the novel is assessed as to the complexity and accuracy of the selected and incorporated areas of Japanese culture, whether there is a tendency for schematization in the depiction, and therefore a display of the so-called "Orientalism", as described by Edward Said. This MA thesis aims to analyse whether, and to what degree Flanagan's novel differs from other works of the Australian literature that deal with the events of World War II and Japan. The analysis focuses on...
