Interaction between literature and film in Manuel Puig's novel
Lašťovková, Lucie ; Housková, Anna (advisor) ; Sánchez Fernández, Juan Antonio (referee)
In the thesis "Interaction between literature and film in Manuel Puig's novel" we attempted to present a brief research of a possible relation between literature and film in the novel "Boquitas pintadas". The objective of this work was to answer the question whether there is some kind of interaction or interrelation between these two artistic forms and how this interaction is being showed. In the first part of this work we tried to define relation between literature and film in general focusing on their diverse means of expression which can be used for representing the concrete features. In this connection we sketched the possible ways of expression and we tried to find out whether the literature and film differ intrinsically. In this part we also investigated the influence of the film on Manuel Puig's writing in general. We mentioned the literary critics and the author's opinions about whether this influence is present or not in Puig's novels, as far as the formal elements (the narrator, characters description, dialogue) as well as the thematic elements (sentimental motives, melodrama) are concerned. In the main part of this work we focused on Puig's novel "Boquitas pintadas" and the study of the artistic means of expression which had been presented in the previous part. We gave a brief characteristic of...

Space in Valle-Inclán's Sonatas
Mathé, Lukáš ; Fousek, Michal (advisor) ; Housková, Anna (referee)
V první kapitole naší práce jsme stručně přiblížili některé teoretické přístupy ke studiu poetiky prostoru v literárním díle. Cílem bylo na základě různých inspirací vytvořit metodu, která by vyhovovala zkoumání prostorové konfigurace čtyř Sonát Ramóna M. del Valle- Inclána. Vedoucí inspirací se stala studie polského teoretika Januzse Sławińskeho. V závislosti na ní jsme se rozhodli zaměřit nejdříve na styl a specifika popisu prostoru. Centrální částí našeho zkoumání se pak mělo stát podrobné studium struktury nejdůležitějších prostorů Pamětí markýze Bradomína, vedoucí k určení významotvornosti prostorové složky pro textový celek a k odhalení jejího vztahu k složkám dalším. V kapitole o popisu jsme shrnuli nejzávažnější rysy a specifika deskripce prostorů v Sonátách. Sledovali jsme metodu francouzského teoretika Philippa Hamona, srovnávajíce jeho závěry ze zkoumání popisu v realisticko-naturalistickém diskursu s podobou popisu v Sonátách. Jako nejvýznamnější charakteristiky deskripce v tomto díle jsme určili vysokou míru vypravěčovy subjektivity při popisu, dynamizující zdobnost podtémat jednotlivých prostorů a používání kulturních klišé, jež vede k aktivnímu zapojení čtenáře do literární komunikace. Popisující odkazuje na kulturně známé vzory takových prostorů, čtenář si má představit příkladný objekt...

The Indian world in the novels by Alcides Arguedas and Ciro Alegría
Fauová, Veronika ; Vydrová, Hedvika (referee) ; Housková, Anna (advisor)
In my diplom work I tried to describe two indigenist novels: Bronze race by Alcides Arguedas and Broad and alien is the world by Ciro Alegría. The work is divided in three principal parts: The indigenous people like literary topic in the Andean region, The indigenism like resource of the indigenist novel, Bronze race and Broad and alien is the world. The first part is dedicated to the evolution of the Indian as litarary personage: From the romantic and idealized perspective, through the indianist novel up to the indigenist novel. Turning point between these types of novel was the novel Birds without a nest of the Peruvian writer, Clorinda Matto de Turner. In the second part I described the most important historical events that preceded the evolution of the indigenist novel. In the third part of my diplom work I devote myself to the analysis of two indigenist novels: Bronze race and Broad and alien is the world. I centered in the concept of the space and its relation with the composition, in the importance of the nature and tried to find how both authors see the indigenous world, if it is from the social or cultural point of view and which are their solutions of the problem.

Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca: travel and change (Naufragios)
Marešová, Jaroslava ; Housková, Anna (referee) ; Vydrová, Hedvika (advisor)
The book known nowadays as Naufragios by Álvar Núez Cabeza de Vaca is one of the most important testimonies about the discovery and conquest of the New World. The first half of the 16th century saw many exploration and conquest travels in which thousands of sailors, explorers, conquerors and soldiers had to face the reality of the just discovered continent. It is really interesting to see how those who wrote about this event experienced it. Naufragios has always been read as a source of historical and anthropological information, but it has been also studied for the literature elements which we can find in it. In my thesis, I tried to look at the work in its complexity: see the literature influences in it and find those elements that we could call literature elements, but also I wanted to focus on the unusual experience of the author and look into the testimony of his experience with the American reality and see how this experience changed him. My thesis begins with a historical introduction which I consider very important to situate the work in its context. I tried to explain the events which led to the discovery of the New World and also the reaction of the Old World to the discovered one. After this general introduction my work continues with analysis of the first literature that treated the reality of...

Historical topics in the posmodern Hispanic American drama. (Acto cultural by José Ignacio Cabrujas and La noche de Hernán Cortés by Vincente Leñero)
Skleničková, Jana ; Housková, Anna (advisor) ; Fousek, Michal (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to describe the mayor changes that the Hispanic American historical drama underwent in the last third of the 20th century, in connection with the increasing influence of the poetics of postmodernism. The work will mention the decisive artistic and philosophical concepts that had impact on the creation of postmodern historical dramas. The main part of the study is dedicated to the analysis of two examples of the postmodern representation of history and the historial myths: Acto cultural, by the Venezuelan playwright José Ignacio Cabrujas and La noche de Hernán Cortés by the Mexican writer Vicente Leero. The inicial chapters provide a theoretical base for the subsequent analitical part of the thesis. They outline the general features of drama and historical drama as a specific gender, and trace the postmodern changes over the Latin American culture, with a special focus on theatre production. Although the work is based on the textual analysis, we cannot avoid mentioning the distinctive features of the postmodern staging for its innovative significance. Acto cultural and La noche de Hernán Cortés represent two different ways of dealing with the famous historical heros: Cristopher Columbus and Hernán Cortés. They both offer quite an intimate, familiar picture, using some the postmodern...

Buenos Aires in the Ernesto Sabato's novel Sobre héroes y tumbas (On heroes and tombs)
Netíková, Kristina ; Vydrová, Hedvika (advisor) ; Housková, Anna (referee)
This thesis gives an topology perspective on the Ernesto Sabato's novel Sobre héroes y tumbas (On heroes and tombs, 1961). It presents Buenos Aires in his singularity, as an staggered city on the shore of the Río de la Plata, with his inhabitants mostly of the immigrant origin, with atmosphere of nostalgia voiced by tango and cosmopolitan spirit of bars and cafés. The attention of the work is focused on spaces, mostly linked by other themes that develops its peculiarity and compile its complex character: e.g. monster and labyrinth, uterus - mother and home, conscious and unconscious of the city, port and south as the spaces of hope.... The epicentre of the story is house of the Olmos family- with the impressive windowed balcony "Mirador" and its occupier Alejandra, respresenting the lost Argentinean heroic "criollo" past. This past disappears as well as old Buenos Aires, imagined and loved by Sabato and Borges, his genuine bard and one of the Sabato's novel heroes . Sabato's conception of the city is explicitly negative - as the place of the evil and his realization. He adverts to desperation, isolation and imposibility of communication among the people of Buenos Aires, this New Babilonia, but in fact of every Babylonian citiy in the world. Offers an intercepiton of concomitant circumstanes of the spread of...

Other worlds in the novel by Julio Cortázar
Řeřichová, Michaela ; Vydrová, Hedvika (referee) ; Housková, Anna (advisor)
The objective of this thesis is to capture diverse relations and connection between the perception of reality, places and fictional caracters whose destinies are mutually reflected and projected. This docile procedure is leading us to the principle of the double, focusing on three couples of doubles: Horacio - Traveler, la Maga - Talita and the author - Morelli. The tenuous frontier between the visible reality and other worlds hidden beneath the surface is related to the theme of quest to which we dedicate the third part of our thesis. We concentrate on the interpretation of several aspects of search: search for one's own identity, home and life-path in the level of the fictional caracters, search for the true reality in the level of the narrator and at he same time the involvement of the reader into this process. On the one hand the reader becomes one of the caracters of the novel and on the other hand he participates, together with the author, in the formation of the novel.
