Time-Symbolic Horizons of Characters in Several Types of the Contemporary Czech Novel
Kudlová, Klára ; Bílek, Petr (advisor) ; Trávníček, Jiří (referee) ; Papoušek, Vladimír (referee)
Mgr. Klára Kudlová Anotace dizertační práce (Časově-symbolické horizonty postav v několika typech současného českého románu): Anotace: Teoretická část této práce uvádí a představuje nejprve skupinu naratologických konceptů navržených prostředí literárně-vědného kognitivismu a vztažených k problematice postav (v pracích Uriho Margolina) a jejich konfigurací (v práci Catherine Emmott(ové)) a k modelování příběhového světa (u Davida Hermana). Tyto koncepty jsou pak propojeny s tezemi, které Ricoeurův Temps et recit předkládá ve vztahu k románu a jemu vepsaným "spojnicím" historického času. Na pozadí takto založené syntézy je pak vypracován samostatný koncept románového žánru a dále model časově-symbolických horizontů postav. Jednotlivé časově-symbolické horizonty jsou chápané jako obligátně přítomné v "půdorysu" románu a spojené s plány přítomnosti, minulosti a budoucnost, jsou zde označeny jako horizont autorit, horizont současníků a horizont dědiců; horizont věčnosti je pak založen na propojení s oblastí apriorního smyslu a je chápán jako horizont fakultativní. V interpretační části práce byl pak uvedený model časově-symbolických horizontů a konfigurací postav v nich využit pro interpretaci a typologické usouvztažnění několika podob soudobého českého románu. Těmito podobami byly jednak ženský a "autentický"...

The Poet and the Chronicler. Reflection of the Spanish American reality in the prose of Octavio Paz and Carlos Monsiváis
Riebová, Markéta ; Housková, Anna (advisor) ; Kudlová, Klára (referee) ; Vydrová, Hedvika (referee)
1 THE POET AND THE CHRONICLER. Reflection of the Spanish American reality in the prose of Octavio Paz and Carlos Monsiváis ABSTRACT Analysing selected essays by Octavio Paz and literary crónicas by Carlos Monsiváis we try to demonstrate that the relationship between the literary and journalistic works of the two authors is that of complementariness rather than opposition as many literary critics have understood it. Joint reading of the works of these two perhaps most important Mexican intellectuals of the second half of the 20th century facilitates their understanding as both Paz's and Monsiváis's critical thinking comes out of the 19th century Mexican liberal tradition. The first chapter deals with the literary representation of the crucial year of 1968 in Mexico in the Critique of the pyramid (Crítica de la pirámide, 1970) by Octavio Paz and in Days to remember (Días de guardar, 1970) by Carlos Monsiváis. We concentrate on the metaphor and the irony as different modes of historical imagination of the studied authors, on the sources of their figurative expression (holistic archetypal conception of the world in contrast to the fragmenting use of polyphony) and the tone which the authors use to address their readers. We consider the ideas of Hayden White, Paul Ricoeur and M. M. Bakhtin as our theoretical...

Discursive typology of characters and the contemporary Czech novel
Kudlová, Klára ; Bílek, Petr (advisor) ; Trávníček, Jiří (referee) ; Holý, Jiří (referee)
The primary aim of the present work was to design a typology of the novel characters based on the distinctive features of the genre itself. For this purpose, a close analysis of the characteristics of the genre was performed, concentrating especially on the attributes of the discourse in novel. The possibility to model the discourse on the base of symbolic and temporal principles provided the fundament for distinguishing three elementary "horizons" of characters in the discourse, thus creating a simple discursive typology. The suggested discursive typology allows viewing the characters as a complex set. Moreover, it opens way to the description of their relations and interaction (or their "constellations"). Finally, it helps to indicate their function and role with regard to the world of the novel as such. The secondary aim of the dissertation was examining the possibility of actual application of the suggested typology. This was carried out by concrete interpretation of contemporary Czech novels related by four discursive concepts. The concrete concepts were the hypothesis of "the new coming transcendentalism" within contemporary culture, authored by Zdeněk Mathauser, an autonomous concept of "the female novel", the notion of "stream of existentialist phenomena" present in the 20th century Czech...

A case of an "authentic" novel
Kudlová, Klára
This study presents first of all a theoretical argument, showing that all “authentic” literature is actually based on a double game of images. While the fictional images seemingly refer to the actual world, they can actually refer only to the so-called emblems. (These emblems are shared images, created in the public consciousness by various non-fictional texts and pieces of information, and there they represent actually existing persons, texts, events, etc.) The second part of the study draws comparisons between two specific cases of an “authentic” novel, namely The Armies of the Night (1968) by Norman Mailer and Rok kohouta (The year of the Rooster, 2008) by Tereza Boučková, paying special attention to the latter. It appears that while Mailer’s “authentic” novel behaves as an intertextual one, Boučková’s work functions – especially with respect to the informational emblems – as a “hypertext”.

M. ; Schmid, H. ; Vaňková, I. ; Machová Ondřejová, K. ; Šolić, M. ; Müllerová, L. ; Kudlová, Klára ; Pořízka, P.
Arranged every 5 years at the initiative of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic Institute of Czech Literature, the congress brought together some 150 researchers this year. World intermedia studies research has developed from case studies into initial syntheses, while in the Czech context it still has slight symptoms of "otherness". Studies contained in this collection deal with analyses into the crossing of media boundaries within the framework of authorial poetics, within individual works and between semiotic systems: the problematization of film and radio adaptations of literary works, comics, ekphrasis and other thematizations of the fine arts or musical motifs in literature, the relationship between drama and theatre stagings and the representation of reality and the procedures of other media in literary texts.
