Orel, Ivan ; Lütke Notarp, Ulrike (referee) ; Kraus, Jiří (advisor)
My thesis "Contemporary Czech Polemic Discourse Shown on Controversy over Milan Kundera" deals with media debate triggered by an article published in the Respekt magazine. The article claimed that Milan Kundera reported an unknown person dwelling at a student dormitory to the police. The person was arrested and sentenced to life imprisonment as a Western intelligence agent. He spent 14 years in prison. The thesis focuses on texts that were published in Czech media from 13 October 2008 to 31 October 2008. Source texts were categorized into three corpuses. Corpus A includes texts that bring information on Milan Kundera - these texts are not explicitly oriented at supporting argumentation either in favour of or against Kundera. Corpus B contains texts defending Kundera. And corpus C analyzes texts that respond critically to corpus B texts. Based on results of such analyses, discourse participants were categorized and their types were defined, assessing phenomena appearing during the discourse and properties of selected texts of the discourse contained in corpuses A, B and C that were subject to qualitative assessment.
