Literary-didactic potential of "České nebe"
Jiskrová, Zuzana ; Peterka, Josef (advisor) ; Klumparová, Štěpánka (referee)
This thesis directly continues my bachelor thesis titled "What and Why do we laugh with Jára Cimrman at". The first, theoretical part, sums up the observation of the poetics of the plays of Jára Cimrman Theatre and subsequently proves them through interpretation of the last play of Smoljak & Svěrák called "České nebe". The first two chapters provide the theoretical base of knowledge for the four-hour-long lesson based on "České nebe" itself. Both these chapters mainly focus on the used humour and the character of Jára Cimrman, the Czech national genius, but also on related topics such as mystification, space-time, Czechness and composition. The second part of the thesis is then the main one which brings the theory into practice. "České nebe" as a play offers an enormous didactic potential which can be used to verify and deepen one's literacy. The didactic part includes a complex preparation for four lessons, for which it provides a basic introduction of Jára Cimrman Theatre and a summary of comedy techniques used by this theatre, which have a strong emphasis on parody. Mainly, though, it provides a brief insight into the opinions, values and the culturally-historical knowledge of a today's adolescent. The students had a chance to elect their own Czech heaven committee in their class and, by doing...

Stereotypes in the Works of Jára Cimrman
Bulejová, Hana ; Bílek, Petr (advisor) ; Činátlová, Blanka (referee)
This thesis deals with the dramatic work of Jara Cimrman, which is based on the cooperation of two authors named Zdenek Sverak and Ladislav Smoljak. In the introductory chapters we analyze the genesis of mystifying legend named Jara Cimrman, then his way from the radio show to the theatre and also his own cult, which all leads to the general poetics of the Theatre of Jara Cimrman. We can find some related attributes in this theatre, like specific acting, phenomenon of their workshops and imaginative humour. All of these attributes leads to the definition of repetitive stereotypes in the plays of this theatre. In this thesis we also try to define the genre of the plays, also their subject matter, topics and their motives. The aim of this thesis is to describe these motives and also its gradual progress as in the particular dramas, so in the social atmosphere of those days.
