Kožnerová, Tereza ; Sánchez Fernández, Juan Antonio (advisor) ; Poláková, Dora (referee) ; Prokop, Josef (referee)
The Catalan poet Pere Gimferrer represents a distinctive personality of the poetry group Novísimos, active mainly in the 1970s. His work was influenced by the reality of life in Spain after the Civil War, especially postism and social poetry. Literary postmodernism also played a significant role in his poetic formation. From the multitude of influences that shaped Pere Gimferrer, this thesis aims to map in detail the influence of the (post)modern poetry of Thomas Stearns Eliot and Ezra Pound on Gimferrer's work. Pere Gimferrer's poetry approaches his models through literary techniques innovative at the time - intertextuality, metapoetry, culturalism, or the use of popular culture elements within the poetic text. The influence of both poets writing in English is mapped on Gimferrer's two magnificent works, namely the poetry collection Arde el mar and the poem L'espai desert. These two Gimferrer's pieces of work are compared with T. S. Eliot's The Waste Land and Ezra Pound's Cantos. Comparing Gimferrer's texts with the poetry of Ezra Pound and T. S. Eliot using comparative textual analysis convincingly shows that Pere Gimferrer knew the mentioned works of both poets and used similar themes and motifs. At the same time, it can be argued that Pere Gimferrer uses similar images and scenes, harmonizes a...

First, the work focuses on the Amazonian rainforest called Santa María de Nieva and then on the urban space Piura in Peru.

When the text speaks: orality in the literary work of Juan Rulfo
Klimtová, Natálie ; Kazmar, Vít (advisor) ; Poláková, Dora (referee)
This thesis focuses on the influence and presence of orality in the books Llano in Flames and Pedro Páramo by the Mexican author Juan Rulfo. The influence is sought in the narrative structure of Rulfo's books and in the language of the characters he created. In addition, it focuses on the importance of noticing the sounds that permeate the books. The sounds are depicted in such a way that the text gives the reader the feeling that they are actually listening to them. The aim of this thesis is to subject the short stories and the novel to literary analyses and to observe how the author works with sounds at the level of language, but also in individual "sound" motifs. The thesis is divided into two imaginative parts; the first offers both an insight into the author's life and returns to the very beginnings of narrative, to the world of primarily oral cultures, while the second part consists of two separate analyses of Rulfo's books. In the case of the short stories, the primary focus is on the language and narrative discourse of the stories, since it is the language of the characters that is most strongly influenced by the oral tradition. In the chapter devoted to the novel, the focus is on the function of silence and sounds, which occupy an important role in the novel. Key words: Juan Rulfo, Pedro...
