Bulgarian track in life of Božena Němcová
Georgieva Ivanova, Sylvia ; Hasil, Jiří (advisor) ; Ivanovová, Darina (referee)
- English The Bulgarian trace in the life of Božena Němcová The relation of Božena Němcová to Bulgaria, the Bulgarian culture, the life and struggle of the Bulgarians in the late fifties and early sixties of the 19th century is one of the most important chapters of the Czech-Bulgarian cultural relations of the past. Unfortunately, it remains a matter almost unknown even to expert philologists. To get a better understanding of the relationship between B. Němcová and Bulgaria, we need to examine it in its close relation with her attitude towards other Slavic nations as part of the then predominating vision of the Slavic unity (the Pan-Slavic idea). The following text provides an analysis of her position regarding the quite complicated situation on the Balkans at that time, as well as her contacts with Bulgarians in Prague. Due to these acquaintances with writers or just texts written by certain Bulgarian (or Balkan in general) writers, she even started learning Bulgarian. There exist some of her translations of Bulgarian texts into Czech and even texts written in Bulgarian. These documents are described in detail, and the full chronology of creative connections of the famous Czech writer is included. The subject has been investigated on the basis of archive materials available both in the Czech...

Stupková, Kateřina ; Čeňková, Jana (advisor) ; Novotný, David Jan (referee)
The bachelor diploma thesis Media Response to the Novel Rok kohouta by Tereza Boučková (2008) deals with analysis of this novel - which is written like a diary - and the critical reflexion of its literary and non-literary aspects; also with the response it created by its controversial theme of "unsuccessful" adoption of two children of Romany ethnic group. The practical part uses the method of qualitative analysis to analyse chosen critical reviews and also non-literary responses to the novel. It is preceded by the theoretical part in which we deal with authoress' life and work and put the subsequent analysis of the novel to this framework. The theoretical part subsequently defines a concept of criticism, its recent forms and problems connected with a process of interpretation of literary works. In this chapter we draw from works of Ansgar Nünning et al., Lexikon Literatur- und Kulturtheorie, or Přemysl Blažíček, Kritika a interpretace. In the practical part we analyse the reviews of Rok kohouta which we found in newspapers and magazines Lidové noviny, Mladá fronta DNES, Reflex, Tvar, Divadelní noviny, Host, Týden, Pražský deník, Literární noviny, Instinkt, Respekt, Právo, Nový Prostor and Revolver Revue.

Role of a writer in selected metafictional novels
Šulcová, Eva ; Peterka, Josef (advisor) ; Kubíček, Tomáš (referee)
The role of a writer in selected metafictional novels Bc. Eva Šulcová Abstract This diploma thesis deals with the genre of metafictional novel. The aim of the diploma thesis is to identify various internal motivations for the usage of metafiction technique in literature and to describe the role of a writer. The first part summarizes the theoretical background of the genre and formulates some characteristic features of metafictional novel (emphasized vicariousness of the narrative, reflection of the creative act, personality of the writer, or the problematized relationship between reality and fiction), which were all illustrated by the analysis of André Gide's novel The Counterfeiters. The second part consists of interpretations of three metafictional novels. The interpretations aim at a complex analysis of the author and at a description of various functions of the metafiction technique as a constituent of the work's meaning. Gide uses metafiction to display the discrepancy between reality and illusion, thus uncovering hypocrisies of society and passing judgement on it. To Čapek, metafiction is a tool for applying multiperspectivity to his storyline, thus creating a metaphor of varying epistemic principles. Metafictional genre was further utilized by Řezáč in his novel Rozhraní to illustrate the polarity...

Woman Writer - Traditional vs. "New" Woman in China and Finland in the 1st half of the 20th century
Podzimková, Jana ; Dlask, Jan (advisor) ; Parente Čapková, Viola (referee)
In my thesis I deal with phenomenon of the so-called new woman in the literature of Finland and China in the first three decades of the 20th century. This phenomenon is presented on the example of the life and literary works of three Chinese (Ding Ling, Ling Shuhua, Bing Xin) and three Finnish (Aino Kallas, Maria Jotuni, L. Onerva) women writers, which seem to be the most representative. In the case of each of the above-mentioned writers I first briefly depict her life, which possibly could have influenced her writings, and then I analyze the selected literary works, in which the topic of new woman is most pronounced. I strive for setting the literary works analyzed into the concrete social, historical and cultural context of the development in both countries, and in the final part of the thesis I attempt at comparison of the similarities and differences between the topics of Chinese women writers on the one hand and Finish on the other. I then explain reasons for the similarities and differences found with regard to the social and cultural situation in China and Finland. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)
