Tommaso Landolfi's Fantastic Animals
Lachmanová, Anna ; Mengozzi, Chiara (advisor) ; Žáčková, Magdalena (referee)
(EN) This diploma thesis focuses on animals in the narrative of Tommaso Landolfi. Animals are a constant element in Landolfi's work and their presence has been examined from many perspectives. The most recent critical studies on Landolfi's animals try to highlight the author's polemic with antropocentrism and his effort to find a language that is not limited to the human perception of reality. This work aims to contribute to the theme of the critique of anthropocentrism through the fantastic mode and the estrangement, the two interpretive keys through which Landolfi's animal could be studied. These narrative strategies allow Landolfi to undo the automatisation of human perception, to challenge the human belief in absolute truth and criticise the traditional human-animal dichotomy. Selected short stories from Landolfi's collections Dialogo dei massimi sistemi, Il mar delle blatte, La spada and the novels La pietra lunare, Le due zittelle and Cancroregina are analysed on the basis of the above-mentioned starting points. Key words: Tommaso Landolfi, Italian literature of the 20th Century, literary animals, fantastic fiction, estrangement

Lachmanová, Anna ; Flemrová, Alice (advisor) ; Štefková, Monika (referee)
The main aim of this bachelor thesis is to classify selected books from Italo Calvino into the fantastic mode. First, the literary concept of "fantastic fiction" will be explained both from the traditional and the modern approach followed by the historical evolution of such genre in the literature. The core of this thesis will be represented by an analysis of two selected collections of short-stories by Italo Calvino focusing on the fantastic characteristics. Based on these stories the thesis will aim to demonstrate how the writer approaches the fantastic mode. As academic resources will serve primarily the thesis The Fantastic: A structural approach to a literary genre by Tzvetan Todorov and Il fantastico by Remo Ceserani. Key words: fantastic fiction, Italian literature of the second half of the 20th Century, short story
