Experiment's arts of Jiří Nekvasil
Černý, Milan ; Herman, Josef (advisor) ; Just, Vladimír (referee)
The author tries to point out some of the experimental elements in Jiří Nekvasil's work. His experiments instinctively and gradually began to appear in all of his performances. This was determined by a completely new and different approach to opera. Opera in itself became a modern and creative material that had not been strongly connected to a conventional reception. Nekvasil often adapted and altered it in various ways, touching a completely new type of audience. Thanks to Nekvasil's modern "video excerpts" and "destructive" point of view, it started to become understood as a different form of entertainment in the early nineties. The first overwhelming reception in the process gradually became a standard for theatrically revived opera performances. Nekvasil proved that opera is not a dead and outlived musical type of theatre; it has become playful, amusing and creative. It was necessary to unleash its post Romantic and veristic reins. Experimentation in Nekvasil's work started to become more and more obvious. When the libretlo appeared too restraining, he used absurd and trivial non-literary collages. He was not afraid to combine heterogeneous parallel opera stories and create a completely new piece. Later he was able to use previous experience from his early alternative years in staging performances in...

Models of the comic in Hašek's novel "Švejk" compared with the top satirical works of the Bulgarian, Russian and Serbian fiction
Dichev, Bogdan ; Just, Vladimír (advisor) ; Černý, Marcel (referee) ; Koten, Jiří (referee)
Keywords: literary comic, comic model, theory of carnivalesque, theory of the play, imagination, incongruity The dissertation pursues three main goals: to define the differentiating features of specific comic models (goal A - the differentiation goal); to introduce the principles of the comic in "Švejk", and its polyphony and originality, the technical devices, which shape it, and the semantic procedures of its creation (goal B - the analysis goal); to prove that between Hašek's "Švejk" and the other four works of Bulgarian, Russian and Serbian satirical prose ("Bay Ganyo", "The Twelve Chairs", "The Little Golden Calf" and "Autobiography") there is a stable common basis (a comic model), which is specified in each of those works (goal C - the juxtaposition goal). The conceptual approach in the methodology of the exploration is based on the conviction that the core of the fictional magic in Hašek's "Švejk" is precisely the comic. The methodological approach of the hierarchical systematization wields all known qualifications of the comic in the models displayed here, which have the nature of unifying classification frames. The methodology of the choice and application of the conceptual instruments is based on the taxonomy of the famous Czech cultural critic Vladimír Borecký, whose terminological...
