Theological interpretation of Vítězslav Nezval's poetic composition "Z domoviny (From the Homeland)"
KUKAL, Petr
The thesis deals with the analysis of theological motifs in a specific poetic text - a poetic composition of an eminent 20th-century Czech poet, Vítězslav Nezval. The theoretical part deals with the context of the composition's origin. The context lies in the poet's religious identity at the end of the fifth decade of his life on the one hand, and in the political situation in Czechoslovakia and its consequences for the arts on the other. The practical part consists of a detailed analysis of the text of the composition, the identification of its religious motifs, and their theological interpretation in the spirit of the principles of poetical theology. For the purposes of the thesis, the poetic composition was divided into thematically more or less homogeneous sections. They were then analysed individually, and the lines of motifs formed of some of these blocks were identified. The outputs of the interpretation process suggest that although Nezval's eschatological idea of the culmination of history in a classless society was felt as immanent to humankind, it was doubtlessly founded on religious grounds.

Politically Committed Songs: A Distinctive Product of the Czech Folk Revival Movement of the 1950s
Uhlíková, Lucie
The beginning of Communist totalitarian era in then Czechoslovakia brought with it political declarations of a new historical epoch and a new worldview, one whose rise was to be facilitated, among other ways, by a retooling of culture. Folklore was misused more than other areas because the folk revival movement was transformed into a strong propaganda tool. ‘New folk art’ in the spirit of socialist realism demanded new songs that would reline traditional forms with contemporary content, oftentimes with political or propaganda undertones. As is clear in contemporaneous folklore research, these propaganda ‘folksongs’ were composed primarily by members of politically active folk ensembles. Despite this, these were creative individuals closely tied to the live tradition, and their composition took place within that framework.
