Kaleta, Juda ; Hausenblas, Ondřej (advisor) ; Kubíček, Tomáš (referee)
This thesis focuses on the concept of the trap for the reader, which is defined using the methodology of the cognitive science cognitive literary studies as an input of such structures and concepts in the text by which specific scheme is activated in the mind of the reader to be replaced by the different incompatible scheme. Based on this replacement, the comprehension of the text is reconstructed. Afterward, we describe specific types of trap for the reader. Every type of the trap is defined by replaced schemes: characters are prototypically an- thropomorphic, characters are black-and-white, characters are archetypes, the narrator speaks the truth, the genre is not changed. Excerpts of literary works are used to represent each type of trap. In the other part of the thesis, we demonstrate usage of this concept in the literature lessons at upper elementary and high schools. Both well-known pieces of the Czech literature, as well as contemporary young adult literature, are used as examples for the didactic use of this concept. Keywords cognitivism, cognitive literary studies, young adult literature, cognitive bias, critical thinking, functional literacy 5

The Types of Characters in Rakugo Stories
Roubíčková, Iveta ; Tirala, Martin (advisor) ; Sýkora, Jan (referee)
The aim of this study is to compare characters in classical and contemporary japanese storytelling rakugo. Classical rakugo presents cultural tastes of merchant class in the Edo period (1600-1867) while the pattern of storytellers attending lords turned to performance in public and brought several amusing characters to idealize the medieval or rather premodern world. Contemporary rakugo carries on this popular tradition spontaneously with great expectations for its future appearance. As society phenomenons effect the appearance of rakugo characters, it is possible to observe the difference between this representation of life in community in past and nowadays. To compare classical and contemporary rakugo characters I analyzed them first according to their or storyteller's utterances and defined them as literary types.
