The structure of Yuriy Andrukhovych's novels
Sevruk, Alexej ; Chlaňová, Tereza (advisor) ; Morávková, Alena (referee)
The world of Yuri Andrukhovych's novels shows considerable internal cohesion through common places, appearing in all his novels. These places create a system, which became the subject of the thesis. The author updates the pre- novel literary genres, which implies the plot of initiation novel scheme. The characters of Andrukhovych's novels meet the requirement of so-called " initiation triangle", which, combined with the theatricality and carnivality of characters, gives Andrukhovych's postmodern novels intersemiotic dimension. Carnival is a fundamental issue of Andrukhovych's development and attracts the meanings relative to this cultural phenomenon. Carnivality also reflects post-modern practices of textual creation, such as metatextuality and intertextuality of literary work. References to other texts put Andrukhovych's works in the context of analogous historical literary practices and genres. The text amalgam imitates the varied and ambiguous picture of the world. A central topological theme in Andrukhovych's novels is the city. The author accentuates the importance of the city as a cultural and culture-creating factor. The author works with individual places with a typical irony of his and, with the help of the postmodern key, he challenges some of the meanings attached thereto. On a more general...

Literary surshyk: contours of literary multilingualism
Sevruk, Alexej ; Lendělová, Věra (advisor) ; Bakula, Boguslaw Leszek (referee) ; Kalina, Petr (referee)

The first part presents a general definition of the concept of surzhyk, its sociolinguistic definition, geographic and functional extension. Further on, it suggests the relationship between this phenomenon and its literary reflection - so-called literary (or also author's or conscious) surzhyk. The following section reviews the reflection of literary surzhyk in theoretical works, both linguistic and literally theoretical. The use of literary surzhyk is discussed in detail in the major monographs dedicated to this phenomenon (Artur Bracki, Larysa Masenko, Salvatore Del Gaudio) and in the key works on Ukrainian postmodern literature and Ukrainian society (Tamara Hundorova, Roksana Charchuk, Ola Hnatiuk). In the third part, Peter Mareš's concept of intratext multilingualism is taken over for further investigation of literary surzhyk. The paper tracks the forms of hybrid language in Ukrainian literature and what functions it performs here. Some specific forms of textual multilingualism have been introduced as the most appropriate for grasping literary...
