The Real in advertising.The failure of advertising fantasies and its implications
Obůrka, Tomáš ; Rosenfeldová, Jana (advisor) ; Koudelková, Petra (referee)
The bachelor thesis explores the relationship between advertisements as pervasive public fantasies and the real in the form of the gaze, as understood by Lacanian psychoanalysis, through the application of Todd McGowan's theoretical framework of new film theory to selected audiovisual advertising texts. The thesis first outlines film theory as such then introduces a more general psychoanalytic approach to advertisements and finally presents McGowan's categorization of films according to their approach to the gaze, which it then applies to particular advertising texts. The thesis shows that advertising fantasies, despite their apparent support for the symbolic order, are, like film fantasies, in fact, sites of struggle between the symbolic and its own constitutive lack in the form of the real.

Fantastic Literature in the Process of Literary Education
Lichtenbergová, Lucie ; Komberec, Filip (advisor) ; Soukupová, Klára (referee)
The aim of this work is to prove that even among works of fantastic literature, it is possible to find texts that can be used in literature classes (not only) in secondary school, and that, through their interpretation, we can relate to our current world and its problems. The theoretical part focuses on the definition of fantastic literature as such (especially in relation to the terms fantasy and sci-fi) and on attempts to define the extension of this concept as a genre. The reader will also find a chapter focusing on arguments disproving the underestimation of this genre. This chapter is followed by an explanation on how to use fantastic literature in school practice, where we present primarily many readership studies that confirm the popularity of this genre among readers, but also with some literary awards that demonstrate the quality of some works of fantastic literature. The practical part uses content analysis to select several specific works in which it is possible to identify moments that relate to individual cross-curricular themes of the Curriculum Framework for grammar school and their expected outcomes. On their basis, five model teaching lessons, which were taught at an unnamed Prague secondary school, are subsequently proposed here. Each lesson is followed by a reflection on the...

The Scar
Sláma, Matěj ; Nytra, Martin (referee) ; Mazanec, Martin (advisor)
Diploma thesis Scar is a short film about the fictional history of the found „monument“. In the animated film, I examine the context and meaning of the „monument“ in a virtual environment that I created based on visual documentation and mapping of specific places that I explored during my expeditions through the urban landscape of Brno and The Hague. These are mainly „lost“ spaces (also referred to as vague terrain or no man's land), which inspired me to create my own visual map of my urban explorations. The starting point of the work is personal lived experience, which I reflect by documenting places, creating 3D objects and manipulating 3D scans of „lost“ spaces with elements of computer games. In the resulting film, the viewer follows a guide–walk through a virtual environment where objective reality is intentionally blended with a fictional world built on the author's imagination.

Didactic interpretation of the novel Meta
Lacinová, Kristina ; Komberec, Filip (advisor) ; Neumann, Lukáš (referee)
This diploma thesis deals with the position of the novel Meta within the contemporary Czech literary scene, its analysis, interpretation from a genre and narratological point of view, and didactic potential. First of all, I deal with the general concept of popular and fantastic literature, its potential significance in teaching and the book categories of young adult and new adult, as the researched novel Meta falls under these genres and categories. I place the novel in the context of Czech and world fantasy literature and present how it is perceived by literary criticism. The main goal of the thesis is to capture the didactic potential of the novel and to demonstrate the wide possibilities of its use in teaching literature. Structural analysis and interpretation of themes and ideas will be used for this purpose. With this detailed literary analysis, I want to prove that the novel Meta should not be viewed only as popular literature without deeper ideas, but that it could differ in its construction, themes and overall meaning from the majority of modern novels for youth and young adults. Not only does Meta provide a powerful reading experience, from a literary point of view the text is constructed of interesting narrative processes, fragmented composition and offers a critical view of today's...

Fairytales as literature and film
ŠTĚCHOVÁ, Sára
The aim of the Bachelor's thesis is to compare written and filmed fairy tales. Specifically, the thesis deals with the different perceptions of the fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm compared to those of Walt Disney. The theoretical part explains the difference between literature and film. From the origins of literature to the creation of film itself. Basic facts and differences will be given for each of these aspects. The practical part of the paper will focus on the comparison of the historical fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm, based on the two selected fairy tales, with the fairy tales of the media conglo-merate Walt Disney. The two fairy tales selected are Locik and Cin-derella. The focus of this section is to compare the plot of these fairy tales. Whether the plot has been changed due to the writing style of the Brothers Grimm in the film. Whether this plot was influenced by the time in which these fairy tales were written? Then we compare which characters are missing from the plot or which additional characters are included. And how this affected the actual course of the plot. At the end of the paper, there is a short summary of the entire work and an evaluation of whether the goal was achieved.
