A role of empathy in the reception of film work of art
Csicsely, Lukáš ; Zuska, Vlastimil (advisor) ; Kaplický, Martin (referee)
This bachelor thesis focuses on the subject of empathy in the reception of film work of art and the distinction of empathy and the terms which are being generally confused with it (such as identification and sympathy) in a representative selection of texts on both psychoanalysis and film cognitivism. Bela Buda's writing serves as a background for those works. The first two parts are dealing with the definition of Buda's empathy and its differentiation from sympathy, identification and projection in the context of the reception of film work of art with emphasis on psychical distance. The following part is focused on the comparison of various concepts of authors from the field of psychoanalysis (Mulvay and Metz) and film cognitivism (Carroll, Neill, Grodal, Smith). This part works with the findings of the previous parts.

Reception od Darwin in biology
Richter, Jiří ; Markoš, Anton (advisor) ; Flegr, Jaroslav (referee)
Reception of Darwin in biology conveys a story of evolutionary biology with emphasis on the divergent reception of Charles Darwin's theories by biologists in the past 150 years. Given the influence of Darwin's thought, a unique tradition has emerged in the scientific field. Every fifty years starting from the publishing of The Origin of Species, scientists gather to celebrate Charles Darwin as a thinker and a person. An immense amount of literature on Darwin and evolutionary biology has been produced by authors and publishers worldwide, thus the recurring commemorative events provide a fine start to the historical survey of Darwinism and are used as such in Reception of Darwin in biology.

The Reception of Friedrich Ludwig Jahn and his Ideas in the German Gymnastic Club
Klement, Martin ; Stellner, František (advisor) ; Županič, Jan (referee)
The goal of this paper is to analyse the evolution of the perception of the German gymnastic movement founder Friedrich Ludwig Jahn (1778-1852) and of his ideology in the German Gymnastic Club. Since the eighties of the 19th century, the Jahn's ideas had been specifically interpreted in the gymnastic clubs in Lower Austria. This interpretation, under the direct influence of growing racial anti-Semitism, consisted of an extreme national and racial intolerance. The clubs, since 1889 associated in German Gymnastic Club, gradually made their way to the radically national movement that gained the epithet of "völkisch". Various methods have been applied to determine how the club adopted, interpreted and in its own way also changed the Jahn's teaching in the field of the language, physical exercise, national and anti-Semitic ideology and, last but not least, in terms of festivities and symbology. The result of the study has shown that the "völkisch" interpretation of Jahn's controversial ideas enabled the Club to lay the foundations for the new ideology which was to become dominant in the gymnastic movement of the German speaking countries in the thirties of the 20th century.

The Pied Piper of Marina Tsvetaeva: Genesis, Reception and Translations of Poems with Commentary
Zakiyanov, Oskar ; Hlaváček, Antonín (advisor)
Russian poet Marina Ivanovna Tsvetaeva (1892-1941) is one of the world's most prominent authors of the early 20th century. The Pied Piper (Ratcatcher) is the magnum opus of her work. The aim of my thesis was to literally translate the poem and provide a detailed commentary on the poem. Translation is designed for the future Slavonic Studies, but also for the wider public. The translation is a kind of proposal and could be used as the default text for a possible poetic translation of the poem into Czech. The intention of the commentary is to point out the relationships of the Tsvetaeva's Pied Piper and possible sources of inspiration of the texts of other authors or her own original works. The commentary also explains the concepts specific to the creation of Tsvetaeva and her characteristic individual poetic methods. The commentary, however, provide, nearly no interpretation. It is used only as a supplementary comment on individual parts in order to enable better understanding of the original text and the translation. The first chapters deal with the history of the poem, its genesis, and reception by critics and writers. Followed by technical notes to the translated text, where a reader would find an explanation of the peculiarities of the original text, including syntactic difficulties, which are the clues...

The advetnure - short story of Julius Zeyer
HROMÁDKOVÁ, Tereza
This thesis is divided into two parts, theoretical and analytical. The first part aims to provide basic findings about adventure fiction, i.e. general characteristic, brief historical account and individual genres. Then an overview of Zeyer's shorter adventure proses, which will be analysed further on, follows. The next chapter examines to what extent and in what way adventurousness was becoming a part of metalanguage about Zeyer's work. The last theoretical segment provides an overview of period reception of Zeyer's shorter adventure proses discussed in the second chapter. The analytical part tries to answer the question how is adventurousness in Zeyer's work formed. The last chapter consists of a treatise about adventurousness in Svatý Xaverius by Jakub Arbes, a piece of literature of analogical nature.
