Beer in Czech Folk Songs
Kružíková, Kateřina ; Vaňková, Irena (advisor) ; Skovajsa, Ondřej (referee)
The aim of the work is to map the stereotypical depiction of beer in traditional Czech folk songs, i.e. to show in what contexts beer appears in the texts of this genre and what semantic connotations are associated with the lexeme of beer. The source material - songs from Erben's collection Prostonárodní české písně a říkadla - will be examined with the theoretical and methodological basis of contemporary cultural linguistics, especially the Czech and Polish (especially using the theories of the Lublin School of Cognitive Ethnolinguistics). During the reconstruction of the linguistic picture of beer, this work also uses material from the Czech dictionaries (monolingual, phraseological etc.). In this context, it will also take into account the literature devoted to the cultural picture of beer in Czech society (especially the work of Č. Zíbrt and selected articles from the interdisciplinary monograph edited by V. Novotný) and show how much the researched material is in accordance with it. The first part of the work will introduce the research context and the terms used (especially in the field of cognitive ethnolinguistics and verbal folklore), the second part will focus on the picture of beer in Czech dictionary material and in the third part will analyse and interpret material obtained from...
Rose in Moravian folk songs
Bartasová, Kateřina ; Vaňková, Irena (advisor) ; Skovajsa, Ondřej (referee)
This bachelor thesis is a contribution to the research of the Czech language picture of the world. Based on the theory of cognitive ethnolinguistics it deals with the linguistic stereotype of the rose in Moravian folk songs. First, it puts the research into broader context of ethnolinguistics with emphasis on the relationship between language and culture and deals with the characteristics of the linguistic picture of the world and ways of reconstruction of the linguistic stereotype using connotations. Then it focuses on how the lexeme růže is recorded in Czech etymological, reference, synonym and phraseological dictionaries. It also takes into account the cultural symbolisms (dictionaries of symbols, studies of the Polish linguistic picture of the world etc.). The main focus of this bachelor thesis is on the analysis of meanings of the lexeme růže in the Moravian folk songs. Based on the collection of František Sušil Moravské národní písně s nápěvy do textů vřaděnými (Sušil, 1941) the thesis examines the term's profile of the rose and reconstructs the linguistic stereotype of the rose in the folk picture of the world.
Written Voice: Whitman's Leaves of Grass (1855) and Miller's Tropic of Cancer
Skovajsa, Ondřej ; Vojvodík, Josef (advisor) ; Bílek, Petr (referee) ; Pokorný, Martin (referee)
The PhD. dissertation Written Voice examines how Walt Whitman and Henry Miller through books, confined textual products of modernity, strive to awaken the reader to a more perceptive and courageous life, provided that the reader is willing to suspend hermeneutics of suspicion and approach Leaves of Grass and Tropic of Cancer with hermeneutics of hunger. This is examined from linguistic, anthropological and theological vantage point of oral theory (M. Jousse, M. Parry, A. Lord, W. Ong, E. Havelock, J. Assmann, D. Abram, C. Geertz, T. Pettitt, J. Nohrnberg, D. Sölle, etc.). This work thus compares Leaves (1855) and Tropic of Cancer examining their paratextual, stylistic features, their genesis, the phenomenology of their I's, their ethos and story across the compositions. By "voluntary" usage of means of oral mnemonics such as parallelism/bilateralism (Jousse) - along with present tense, imitatio Christi and pedagogical usage of obscenity - both authors in their compositions attack the textual modern discourse, the posteriority, nostalgia and confinement of literature, restore the body, and aim for futurality of biblical kinetics. It is the reader's task, then, to hermeneutically resurrect the dead printed words of the compositions into their own "flesh" and action. The third part of the thesis...
Vrchlický, Whitman and Šalda sprinkled by parrots
Skovajsa, Ondřej ; Kořená, Markéta (advisor) ; Wiendl, Jan (referee)
Původně jsem zamýšlel psát práci o české recepci Whitmana. Zastavil jsem se ale už u Vrchlického, kterého mám rád a o kterém se v českých literárních dějinách píše bud' s odsudkem, anebo s rozpaky. Byl to právě Vrchlický, který svým výborem v antologii Z cizích parnassů uvedl na sklonku roku 1894 amerického básníka do Čech. O dvacet let později Vrchlický pořídil olbřímí výbor z Whitmanových Stébel trávy (1906). Na tento překlad navázali o padesát let později Jiří Kolář a Zdeněk Urbánek (1955, 1956, 1968), kteří o Vrchlického činu napsali, že šlo o "obrovský, v celku geniálně přeložený výbor" (WW 1955b: 56 ). Ve své pochvale ("poznámku překladatelů" najdeme jenom v prvním výboru, v dalších už chybí) byli však skoro sami. Naopak běžné bylo jít ve stopách Šaldových odsudků a Vrchlického paušálně hanět, jako překladatele i jako básníka, což podmínilo i čtení Whitmana v Čechách. První část mé práce tedy tvoří pátrání po genezi Šaldových kritických soudů a jeho běsnící dikce (arbitrérnost dichotomie "eklekticism" versus "synthetism", Šaldův antisemitismus, trojúhelník MasarykŠalda - Vrchlický aj.), dále pokračuji náčrtem recepce Vrchlického od devadesátých let dál; na textech Jiřího Levého podnikám detailnější analýzu literárněhistorických klišé o Vrchlickém. Následuje uvážení teorie performativ (Austin, Derrida,...
