Zavadilová, Anna ; Köppl, Daniel (advisor) ; Gerbery, Juraj (referee)
This bachelor's thesis deals with the development of line advertising in journals. It is divided into theoretical and practical parts while the development is described on the basis of textual and thematic analysis of line advertising in journals Lidová demokracie and Lidové noviny. In the thematic analysis the work focusses on the volume of advertisements and specifically whether and when it rises (or drops). The textual analysis tries to record language and orthography norms as they evolved. The work is also focused on vocabulary changing and advertisers' active vocabulary. The corpus of researched material comes from years 1968 and 1988 of Lidová demokracie, always first week of March, June, September and December and the same months of Lidové noviny from years 1998 and 2008.

Further it deals with legislatives measures and actual principles of advertisement in the Czech Republic. It is also accompanied by basic principles of...

Cinema in the typewriter. The phenomenon of fictious scenario in Czech lands
Felcman, Jakub
Bibliografický záznam Felcman, J. Kino v psacím stroji. Fenomén fiktivního scénáře v českém prostředí. (Rigorózní práce). Praha: Univerzita Karlova v Praze, Filozofická fakulta, Katedra filmových studií, 2011, 153 s. Vedoucí práce Doc. PhDr. Ivan Klimeš, PhD. Abstract This thesis is dedicated to a specific type of literary film art called rather innovatively in the paper as "a fictive screenplay". It is a literary work of art which uses different forms established as a basis for a transformation of a written art to a film: film thesis, libretto, literary or technical scenario. So called "fictive scenarios" are different from other creations of this type primarily by the apparent intention of the author to see them as a complete piece of art in its printed form without any ambitions or actual need for subsequent realization of its film version. The composition of the paper is based on a study of the relevant materials and is divided into three parts. The first part covers a compilation of texts collected by screen editor Kurt Pinthus in the 1910's (Das Kinobuch, the oldest Czech "fictive scenarios"). The second part covers film-related literary art pieces created by the Czech avant-garde in the 1920's. (Fictive scenario as a form of the Czech avant-garde.) The third part (Fictive scenario as a surrealistic playground)...

Application of text-optimizing techniques and their influence on adequate text comprehension
Ištván, Marcel ; Rakšányiová, Jana (advisor) ; Vaňková, Lenka (referee) ; Vajičková, Mária (referee)
This dissertation describes a research aimed at finding text-optimization techniques which would increase the comprehension and better the attitudes of the readers towards the text. The aim is to evaluate the effectiveness of these techniques considering the possibility of implementation into the text-production process of state and commercial institutions. The theoretical basis for text comprehension is the construction of mental representations of the text. Many factors, internal and external, can influence the construction of a correct mental representation of the text. This thesis researches the factors of text quality and attitudes towards the text. Effects of the same text manipulations of Slovak and Dutch texts were observed in three language groups. These were: a group of Slovak native speakers, Dutch native speakers and people who learned Dutch as a foreign language. For this research two texts were selected, namely the instructions provided with the tax declaration form and an instruction manual provided with a digital camera. Parts of the texts were optimized and rewritten into two variants. The first variant is based on the principle of rewriting the text into a dialogue. The instructions for such transformation can be summarized into three points. This approach should be usable for not...

Analysis and Comparison of Dramatizations of The Wind in the Willows
Šteidlová, Kateřina ; MACHKOVÁ, Eva (advisor) ; SCHWARZOVÁ, Kateřina (referee)
This diploma thesis deals with an analysis and comparison of dramatizations of The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame, a book which ranks among the British children's classics. The paper examines to what extent the dramatizations correspond to the book, whether and why they deviate from the original text, and what consequences these changes have. The thesis focuses on four dramatizations – a play by Alan Alexander Milne called Toad of Toad Hall, Alfa Theatre production of The Wind in the Willows, a Walt Disney short animated film The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad, and Terry Jones´s adaptation of The Wind in the Willows to a feature film.
In the thesis, firstly the book and then the dramatizations are analyzed in terms of the theme and genre, characters, setting, composition and language use. Subsequently, the dramatizations are examined and compared with regards to the transformation processes – selection, condensation, substitution, amplification, and changes in composition and language. In the final chapter, I summarize my findings and draw the conclusion.

Five Plays of Karel Čapek
Cindlerová, Jana ; SÍLOVÁ, Zuzana (advisor) ; VEDRAL, Jan (referee)
The doctoral thesis called "Five Plays of Karel Čapek:Primary Research" deals with drama works of one of the most outstanding and extraordinary personalities in the Czech theatre and culture. So why "primary research"? Because something like that is badly missing in his context - and therefore the interpratation of his work has been influenced by various interventions during its existence : above all the interrupted staging tradition, biased, and thus incomplete, perception by literary theorists, ignoring or simplifying by theatre theorists and even practitoners.

Zahirović, Hasan ; SÍLOVÁ, Zuzana (advisor) ; HYVNAR, Jan (referee)
In the countries of the former Yugoslavia , the works of Karel Čapek (1800-1938) are considered "complex but eternal" This is evidenced by the large number of articles about him and his work in newspapers and othe publications. Although better known today for his children´s books, even now, more than seventy years afte his death, Čapek continues to be read and enjoyed in general because of his artistry, his vision, and the originality of ideas. Čapek´s works became available very early, in 1921, in the countries of the former Yugoslavia . He was best known as a playwright at first and his six plays were repeatedly staged at all Yugoslav theatres

Phenomenon of Anxiety in Beckett's Endgame
Horčicová, Zdeňka ; KOUBOVÁ, Alice (advisor) ; MUSILOVÁ, Martina (referee)
My master thesis inspects the phenomenon of anxiety in Samuel Beckett's Endgame. In this thesis, anxiety is seen from the phenomenological perspective . However, the explanation of anxiety by psychology and psychiatry is offered as well, so that more complex understanding is enabled. An analysis of Beckett's play is highly influenced by phenomenology, especially by Martin Heidegger, and also by the daseinsanalysis. In these connotations, we inspect Endgame, especially the situation of characters on the stage and the world of the play itself as a mirroring of the real world. We show that human existence is one of the most significant sources of anxiety, that it is innate to almost every human being from time to time, and that it has a remarkable dramatic potential. Although there is no final explication of Beckett's play, my thesis attempts to get closer to its understanding through the phenomenon of anxiety.
As a part of this thesis, the translation of one part of Stanley Cavell's essay called Ending the Waiting Game is included, which tries to explain the meaning of Endgame in a different way.

Metamorphoses of Phaedra´s Confession of Love
Křápková, Lucie ; KYSELOVÁ, Eva (advisor) ; JOBERTOVÁ, Daniela (referee)
This Bachelor thesis looks into changes of dramatical rendition of the myth about Phaedra in terms of her confession of love. It compares four
dramatical texts: tragedy Hippolytus by the greek playwright Euripides, play Phaedra by roman dramatist L. A. Seneca, tragedy Phedre by Jean Racine and Sarah Kane's Phaedra's Love. It determines changes of the relations and motives of the main characters projected into Phaedra's confession. It pays attention mostly to the analysis of the texts themselves but at the same time it does not turn from the main characteristic of these four dramatists, nor social context of creation of these plays.
