Relationship between "Ich" and "Der andere" in Améry's "Hand an sich legen"
Straková, Zuzana ; Kouba, Petr (advisor) ; Švec, Ondřej (referee)
(in English) This thesis deals with the relationship between The Self and The Other as presented in the works of Jean Améry, especially in his book about suicide.

It is precisely the voluntary death that can be the most radical result of the culmination of misunderstanding between The Self and The Other. For voluntary death is not only a decision not to live at this time and place but also a decision to leave this society, the others.

He thinks that voluntary death is also a humane act, as it gives men the opportunity to stop existing when there is a threat to their existence as human beings, for example when they get dehumanized like a muselman in a concentration camp.

Reflection of Concentration Camps in Czech Literature between 1950 - 1960
KOSTOHRYZOVÁ, Romana
This work is dedicated to the topic of concentration camps in Czech literature between 1950 and 1960. Focusing on selected works we compare and interpret the works of authors who survived the concentration camps and those for who was the topic of concentration camps mediated. We are especially interested in any distinctive features of these reflections, and vice versa, what unites them. We will find out whether and how the literary works are pervaded by the contemporary schematic forced alignment of writers and literary texts. We will approach the concrete texts with the concept of Hans-Georg Gadamer´s hermeneutics, who sees artwork as an answer to the existential question that was present at the given historical situation.
