The Imagination as a Link Between Dream and Art
MOLÍKOVÁ, Veronika
Where is the area, in which dream and art unite and in which they mingle situated, and, on the contrary, where is the borderline between them? What do our inner images mean for us? Is the imagination a link of artistic creation and dreaming? If we admit this, can we consider dreaming as a form of art, as an intentionally focussed activity inside us? The form of art with its proper author-recipient, with denying its servitude? Could we achieve an aesthetic attitude to a figure, to a construct, when its fundamentals cannot be revealed? Or is that consideration absolutely misled? Besides those consideration, some people confirm, that dreams are too elusive to be judged But works of art are not? And is not the solution hidden in spaces of our consciousness? The fusion of dream and art becomes the topic of the following lines.

Fairy Tale as a Dream
Vídršperková, Lenka ; Kučera, Miloš (advisor) ; Viktorová, Ida (referee)
This thesis presents the psychological concept of dreams and fairy tales and the possible similarities existing between them. Its main source is a depth psychology, psychoanalysis particularly. The thesis is consisting of two parts. In the first part, the theories of dreams and fairy tales are described and the possibilities for their interpretations are given. Then the affinity between dreams and fairy tales is presented including the theory of the Hungarian psychoanalytic Géza Róheim and the Israeli psychologist Ravit Raufman. Róheim assumes that fairy tales represent a social transformation of individual dreams. The development of this idea is: the fairy tales are inducting dreams that would be dreamed, anyway. But they finish better now, with the victory for the child. Raufman applies the methods with which fairy tales have been studied on dreams and defines the affinities between them. In the other part, the similarities between dreams and fairy tales are checked using collected dreams of children aged from 6 to 15. Dreams are interpreted with a special attention to a fourteen years old girl. The thesis also works with the dream of a young woman collected by Raufman. Finally, an explicit and implicit content and formal characteristics of the children's dreams are compared with the most famous...

Milan Kundera and intertextuality
Grušová, Mariana ; Charvát, Martin (advisor) ; Češka, Jakub (referee)
The diploma thesis Milan Kundera and Intertextuality deals with aspects of relations between the texts in his novels. The first part outlines the intertextuality, theory of the novel and the approaches of some literary theorists towards this issue. The second half of the thesis analyzes the intertextuality in Kundera's works in various forms, mainly based on the themes of dreams and physicality. The greatest emphasis is placed on examining the legacy of Kafka in the context of Kundera's works, particularly in the novels The Joke and The Book of Laughter and Forgetting.

Space-time breakdown in Julio Cortázar's fantastic tales
Krejčová, Veronika ; Poláková, Dora (advisor) ; Škodová, Denisa (referee)
As the title may reveal, my work will focus on space-time breakdowns in Julio Cortázar's (1914-1984) oeuvre. This Argentinian writer's work is centered mainly on the fantastic genre, specifically on tales. He is one of the most important representants of this genre in the zone of Río de la Plata, although for the most of his life he lived in Paris, where also many of his works were written. With help of other literary critics and theorists, I will try to define the space-time breakdowns in his creation. Tzvetan Todorov in his The Fantastic: A Structural Approach to a Literary Genre, distinguishes between three main categories: the strange, the fantastic and the marvelous. Another critic, Ana María Barrenechea, in her a little bit more vital theory divides the fantastic into these three categories: the natural, the unnatural and the mixture of both. As an example I will use four of Cortázar's tales. On those, I will apply the mentioned theories, nevertheless I will also point out the possible lack of clarity and obsolescence in them and will try to offer some new alternative solutions. David Roas, Spanish critic of fantastic literature, will be a great help. Is the space or time important in the literature? And what is that Cortázar's Fantastic feeling? I'll try to answer these questions and...

Sleep and dream in the Czech picture of the world
Bulak, Patrik ; Vaňková, Irena (advisor) ; Martínek, František (referee)
The thesis focuses on the conceptual area of sleeping (including waking, dreaming etc.) based on the theories and methods of the cognitive-cultural approach to language. The first chapter deals with the human experience of sleeping. The conceptual area is interpreted both in relation to physical experience and as a part of the Central European cultural code. The second chapter concentrates on the concept and the approach of the linguistic picture of the world (e.g. Bartmiński, 2012), the detection and verification of the semantic connotations method (Bartmiński, Panasiuk, 2001), the conceptual metaphor theory (Lakoff, Johnson, 1980/2002), the cognitive conception of metonymy (cf. ibid), and the interaction between metaphor and metonymy (i.e. metaphtonymy, Goosens, 1990, 2002). The third chapter is based on the linguistic data excerpted from various Czech dictionaries and describes the conceptual area. First are introduced derivational nests, then relevant semantic relations and etymology of the selected terms (spát, bdít etc.). The chapter also analyses polysemy of the selected terms in detail, as well as polysemy of their derivatives. This part of the thesis presents the formulation of conceptual transmissions which are manifested in the given linguistic meanings. The fourth chapter is a...
