Interpretative Semantics as a Contribution to Reception of a Literary Text
Koblížek, Tomáš ; Pokorný, Martin (advisor) ; Voldřichová - Beránková, Eva (referee) ; Petříček, Miroslav (referee)
The thesis deals with the project of interpretative semantics as it has been developed by the French linguist François Rastier. The aim of the thesis is twofold: Firstly, to introduce and to further elaborate on the principles of this theory. Secondly, to point out possible benefits of Rastier's project for interpretation and analysis of literary texts. The key issue which characterizes the Rastier's semantics and which also represents the main axis of the present thesis can be put forward as follows. On one hand, the interpretative semantics grasps the text as a linguistic object which is open to various formal arrangements and to various articulations of semantic units. On the other hand, each text in its linguistic and non-linguistic context receives a particular shape and particular meaning. This general issue is discussed in detail in four mutually bound chapters where it is also applied on literary texts: (1) The first chapter deals with the notion of isotopy as the main textual principle. From the perspective of this concept a text cannot be grasped as a "big sentence" with an apriori determined syntax. Textuality rather resides in relationships between iterated (isotopic) elements which can be detected in the particular text on different linguistic levels (morphemes, lexies, sentences)....
André Breton and psychoanalysis
Paulů, Aneta ; Jamek, Václav (advisor) ; Voldřichová - Beránková, Eva (referee)
The topic of this thesis is the connection between psychoanalysis and surrealism, an important avant-garde group. The thesis focuses on selected theoretical writings of A. Breton, leader of the surrealist movement. Influence of psychic automatism on his work is being examined along the processes revealing unconsciousness in comparison with S. Freud's fundamental works. The thesis further defines how the Freudian psychoanalysis was processed in Breton's concept of surrealism and how it influenced surrealist conceptions and procedures, provided that the basic elements of inspiration are taken right from psychoanalysis. The ultimate goal of the thesis is to determine to what extent is the influence of psychoanalysis apparent in Breton's work, and where the surrealism goes beyond psychoanalysis itself.

Its critical picture in analysed works is described in individual analysis of the pedagogical ideas of both mentioned authors. Moreover, the pedagogical conceptions of François Rabelais and Michel de Montaigne that we can consider as conceptions of the Renaissance are primarily analysed. In conclusion both analysed authors are compared and main common and different points of their pedagogical conceptions are described.
Quarter century of Eugene Rastignac's life: analysis of the development of the character in The Human Comedy
Vidímová, Sára ; Voldřichová - Beránková, Eva (advisor) ; Pohorský, Aleš (referee)
The aim of my thesis is to observe and to analyse one of Balzac's characters who appears mainly in The Human Comedy. Eugene Rastignac's character changes in the course of novels. And the change is caused by his environment and also by the surrounding characters. Concerning the methodological part of my work, I use two Czech theorists who deal with the typology of characters (František Všetička, Bohumil Fořt). I will try to choose relevant fragments of Balzac's novels where I will describe change of the character. At the end I point out the future development of the subject and also the actual usage of Rastignac's fate as a pattern of ambitious young man.
Top of the french classical tragedy in Racine's work
Procházková, Laura ; Jamek, Václav (advisor) ; Voldřichová - Beránková, Eva (referee)
Work is introduced with a characterization of French Classical Tragedy of the 17th century and other contemporaneous dramatic production. Following brief description of historical development and connotations explains the formation of French classical dramatic norms and rules. Their appearance and assertion is consequently confirmed in an analysis of selected works of Jean Racine, major representative of French Classical Tragedy. Diversity of tragic conflicts and originality of Racine's dramatic and aesthetic forms is demonstrated in concluding confrontation with Pierre Corneille. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)
Jewish Condition as Image of Marginalization
Pavlíková, Kristina ; Jamek, Václav (advisor) ; Voldřichová - Beránková, Eva (referee)
The theme of this bachelor thesis is the life and literary work of Jacques de Lacretelle, a French literature figure of the 20th century. Its aim is to expound his extensive work which is nowadays almost forgotten. The thesis focuses mainly on Lacretelle's vision of the Jews as described in his two novels- Silbermann and The return of Silbermann. Based on the detailed analysis the thesis tries to understand the reasons of choosing the Jewish motif for Lacretelle's work and personal connotations in it. Lacretelle's life and work is studied in comparison with a Czech author called Ladislav Fuks. We shortly introduce this writer, main events of his life connected with his literary work and his unique style of writing based on the method of substitute literary themes. This approach is subsequently applied on Lacretelle's writings and gives us a new point of view of them. Also we try to compare the series about Silbermann with Fuks's short-story anthology called Mí černovlasí bratři. At the end we draw a comparison between Lacretelle and Fuks and try to discover resemblances in their lives and works. This enables to understand their motives to choose the Jews as the main characters of their writings, probably connected mainly to their feeling of non-acceptance caused by their homosexuality.

Surrealistic Moments in Raymond Queneau's Novels
Černá, Eva ; Jamek, Václav (advisor) ; Voldřichová - Beránková, Eva (referee)
Surrealistic Moments in Raymond Queneau's Novels The objective of this thesis is to study the connection between Raymond Queneau's novels and surrealism. Raymond Queneau was part of the surrealistic group for only a relatively short time and after he left it, he fully rejected the surrealistic movement and concentrated his literary output in another direction. Nevertheless, there are surrealistic moments to be found in his work, on which this thesis will focus. The thesis contains a brief characterisation of surrealism as a literary movement and a basic overview of Raymond Queneau's life and the structure of his works. Special focus is given to the part of the author's life when he was active in the surrealistic group. The thesis further studies the period of time when Raymond Queneau was no longer part of the surrealistic group and when he turned his attention to completely different literary aspects of his production and participated in the work of other literary groups, whose methods differed substantially from the methods of surrealism (Oulipo); special focus is given to the significant aspects of the author's output, i.e. emphasis on the literary form, structure and order of his works. The main focus of the thesis is to study the surrealistic moments in Raymond Queneau's novels, which occur in his...
Typology of characters in Daniel Pennac's hexalogy about Benjamin Malaussène
Lukešová, Anna ; Voldřichová - Beránková, Eva (advisor) ; Pohorský, Aleš (referee)
The present study seeks to analyze the procedures used for the description of characters in six novels by Daniel Pennac: The Scapegoat (Au bonheur des ogres, 1985), The fairy gunmother (La fée carabine, 1987), Write to Kill (La petite marchande de prose, 1989), Monsieur Malaussène (Monsieur Malaussène, 1995), Des chrétiens et des maures (1996) and Passion Fruit (Aux fruits de la passion, 1999). Methodologically, it is based on the theory of direct definition and indirect representation of characters by Bohumil Fořt (Literární postava: vývoj a aspekty naratologických zkoumání, 2008) and on František Všetička's typology of characters (Tektonika textu. O kompoziční výstavbě české prózy třicátých let 20. století, 2001). The study shows that the author prefers indirect representation - he lets his characters' actions and utterances speak for them. In the analysis of the character-types that are present in the novels, we have discovered that the author likes to represent many classical types, but he tries to add a twist to them. The work also focuses on the themes that are brought into the text by the characters of the hexalogy: the relations between siblings and the representation of femininity, old age and mourning. The last chapter deals with the inspector Van Thian character, the way it is described...
