Translation Variations of Apollinaire's Zone
Cihlářová, Eva ; Peterka, Josef (advisor) ; Hník, Ondřej (referee)
The main goal of this dissertation is comparison of different translations of the poem Zone in the czech languague. The key part of this work is an analysis of the translation of selected passage od Zone. The summary which describes each translation of the poem is elaborated on the basis of this part. We can divide the translations of Zone into three basic streams: Karel Čapek and Petr Kopta hold the reproducing style of translation. Petr Skarlant and Karel Sýs prefer a less precise translation enriched with their own invention. Gustav Francl tends rather to the reproducing concept, but we would describe his style more as modernizing. To create sufficiant information foundations for the analysis of translations, the whole first part of the dissertation is dedicated to the theory of artistic translation, the personage of Guillaume Apollinaire, the analysis of Zone and the personages of the Czech translators.

The 'Butterfly' in the Poetry of Emily Dickinson
Hübnerová, Petra ; Veselá, Pavla (advisor) ; Quinn, Justin (referee)
A B S T R A C T This thesis explores the significance of the butterfly motif in the poetry of Emily Dickinson. The first two parts form the theoretical background of the thesis, i.e. they deal with the life and poetry of Dickinson with focus on the poems on nature (and insects). The butterfly motif is introduced from the perspective of mythology in different cultures of the world and then within a framework of English and American literature. The practical part establishes, on the basis of the analysis of fifty poems in total, two main thematic areas: the butterfly as a symbol of beauty and the butterfly as a product (or part) of metamorphosis. In addition to emphasizing the individual thematic contexts in which the butterfly appears in Dickinson's poetry, the thesis also tries to determine the symbolic value of the motif in her verse.

Representation of Everydayness in the Works of Group 42
LENCOVÁ, Pavla
The subject matter of this dissertation is the ways of representing the everydayness of life in poetic texts authored by members of Group 42. Of special interest is the category of time, as the transformation of understanding of this category is one of the cornerstone aspects of modern literature in the first half of the 20th century. Time as a category is reflected in Group 42 poetry through three principles used by the Group 42 authors to grasp and work with the time-space continuum and the place of humans in it. The fundamental principle of Group 42 poetry, which will be discussed in this thesis, is the fragmentarization principle. Using a fragment, the poet grasps the present, multi-layered moment and represents temporal discontinuity. Another principle of representation of everydayness the thesis will concentrate on is the principle of variations, which represents heading towards a unifying grasp of discontinuous everydayness. As opposed to the previous ways, notation in the form of diary entries then allows for the ability to better formulate the dynamics of successive temporal flow of everyday reality. The possibility of formulating the temporal mode on the field of a lyrical work is yet another topic discussed here. The temporal mode is then reflected in relation to the "myth of the modern humus", the proclamation of which was on the agenda of Group 42 in its time.

Its typical form and content are desired to be found. By "contemporary" is meant the period in which the materials for its realisation were collected, i.e. between spring 2010 and spring of the 2011th. Emphasis is placed on the perceiver and the way in which he can meet with poetry today.
