Flannery O'Connor as satirical priest
Petrušová, Gabriela ; Wallace, Clare (advisor) ; Ulmanová, Hana (referee)
49 Summary Although her literary career was short, Flannery O'Connor made a great impression with her peculiar characters which are probably the most unsympathetic ones in the world of fiction. These self-indulged, ignorant individuals remain in our minds long after we have finished our reading. This fact perhaps results from the notion that Flannery O'Connor herself did not have sympathy for them either. Despite her deeply religious point of view, her characters are not treated in the light of assumed Christian humanism. On the contrary, at the end they are facing violent deaths, they are robbed of their artificial limbs and every time when it is possible they are in the centre of her scornful satirical and acid humor. This thesis aims to discuss the specific role of the last mentioned phenomenon and that is O'Connor's acid and satirical humor which interwoven with religious concerns plays a specific role in her fiction. The primary aim of the first chapter is the introduction of the tradition of Southern literature and contextualization of Flannery O'Connor unique place within the Southern literary canon. The first chapter, in addition, discusses the role, history and use of humor in Southern literature. Chapter two then shifts the focus on the special quality of O'Connor's humor in particular; moreover...

Return to "The Ass and the Shadow". Satirical Drama in the Contemporary Context.
Pečenková, Aneta ; Merhaut, Luboš (advisor) ; Wiendl, Jan (referee)
Satirical drama The Ass and the Shadow was introduced in the context of the historical, political, literary and theatrical events of the year 1933. The contemporary context was shaped and composed by comments V+W about their own production (in the Vest pocket revue magazine, in another periodicals and in the correspondence between the years 1945-1962), by contemporary publicism, the critique, other literary and non-literary texts. The context was also mediated by the secondary literature of the first and the second half of the twentieth century and of the present. With the kaleidoscopic interpretation, a new arrangement was created. An arrangement in which The Ass and the Shadow was still left to its natural world: to the jazz scenery, literary and artistically avant-garde, scenery which was influenced by the silent grotesque, circus clownery and cabaret shows. Attention was paid to the variations in the comicality of V+W (the drift from the so-called groundless humour to their own political satire) and to the possibilities and limits of political satire: its judgment, procedures and also, more specifically, its intertextual references. This literary and non-literary area was further extended by the dimension of economic and political-power field. It pointed to a high cultural and economical status...

Pletichová, Anna ; Ondráš, František (advisor) ; Oliverius, Jaroslav (referee)
Satirical poetry is generally considered as a one of the most important genres of the classical Arabic literature. Genre of poetry was in the pre-Islamic and early Islamic society highly appreciated and the Arabs used to regard it as the only form of the real literature. Unlike prose which was limited to the folklore and educational literature esteemed the Arabs poetry as a real art expression and the poet hold also very strong position within the traditional Arab society. Arabic satirical poetry is believed to grow up from curses and lampoons declaimed by traditional Arab wizards, kāhins, and due to the fact that faith in the power of word was still very deeply rooted in people's minds, Arabic satirical poetry was ascribed a very good reputation. The development of society after the rise of Islam also had a very strong impact upon the function of traditional genres of the Arabic poetry.

Arabic satirical poetry became an independent genre of art. This thesis deals with the origin and the development of Arabic satirical poetry from its emergence in the pre-Islamic period until it reached its peak during the reign of Umayyad...
