Charles Baudelaire - The Flowers of Evil
Bačáková, Jitka ; Listíková, Renáta (advisor) ; Ébert-Zeminová, Catherine (referee)
The subject of this bachelor's thesis is the personality and work of Charles Baudelaire. We are interested in how Baudelaire's life and also the historical period in which he lived influenced his output. The aim of my work is to show why the Charles Baudelaire's collection of poems The folwers of evil was so exceptional in its time and why it was initially rejected by some critics as well as later positively received by others.The purpose of this bachelor's thesis is to show, how was the reaction on Baudelaire's work in Bohemia and how translations from the Czech authors differ. The thesis also discusses Baudelaire's relationship to women, especially to Jeanne Duval, and how is his cohabitation with this lifelong partner reflected in poems of the Flowers of Evil collection. We are also reflecting of Baudelaire's conception of beauty, and by that we demonstrate novelty and originality of his poetry. Charles Baudelaire's work brings new, unknown possibilities, which disrupt and change previous aesthetic norms and gives poetry a new dimension and inspiration for next generations. Keywords: Symbolisme, The Flowers of Evel, Charles Baudelaire, Jeanne Duvalová, parnasism, Black Venus, translations of poetry.

Furthermore, the thesis concerns the etymological analyses of colours the names of which are to some extend specific and remarkable.

In the last part of the thesis we scrutinize also idioms containing a name of a colour; we talk about idioms like white night, yellow danger, to be bad like a red donkey, cordon bleu or green tongue. In this case, our goal is to...

Selected textological aspects of french press - comparative analysis
Sovič, Pavel ; Jančík, Jiří (advisor) ; Listíková, Renáta (referee)
The focus of this thesis is centred on textology methods. These were examined in a comparative analysis of selected pieces of French press in order to determine basic composition strategies in journalistic texts. In particular, it concerns the formation of a headline in an article and its adjoining visuals as well as the whole structural framework of a newspaper. It was found that each paper maintains a certain set layout and structure in order to facilitate access to information. More specifically, the articles' structure is typically multi-layered which makes the information easier to retrieve at a higher speed of reading. Alternatively, it's the headline that has to be able to attract readers' attention and make them to read the article in its entirety. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)
