The myth and the reality of the king Matthias in Slovenian literature
Kastner, Katalin ; Jensterle Doležal, Alenka (advisor) ; Nedvědová, Milada (referee)
This thesis explores the development of the King Matthias myth in Slovene literature from the 19th century onward. Ever since first appearing at the end of the 15th century (the period of Ottoman wars in Europe), the myth of King Matthias has been an important part of the Slovene cultural heritage. Though historical evidence is scarce, it is believed that after a small army of Slovene peasants fell in battle while trying to fend off the Ottoman invaders. The locals came up with a compensatory story, claiming that the Slovene fighters were not killed, but instead retreated into hiding. Soon, the story became less and less rooted in reality, and new elements were added. The newly created myth describes an army of a hundred soldiers, lead by a Slovene king named Matthias - a figure based on Matthias Corvinus, an actual Hungarian king in that period. In the story, the army is outnumbered and facing certain death, when suddenly a nearby mountain opens up, offering king Matthias and the remaining soldiers shelter. Legend has it that one day the king is to return from the mountain, bringing with him peace and prosperity. It is important to note that for a long time, the myth of king Matthias was not mere superstition, but represented a very prominent spiritual figure for the Slovene people. The archetypal king was...

Fair Vida: from popular ballad to drama of desire
Benhartová, Tereza ; Jensterle Doležal, Alenka (advisor) ; Nedvědová, Milada (referee)
Krásnou Vidu lze považovat za jeden z ústředních symbolů slovinské literatury. S tím souvisí i její obsahová šíře. Od dob vzniku lidové písně, která ve formě balady zaznamenala konkrétní historickou událost, se tento motiv stal jedním z nejrozsáhlejších zdrojů literární inspirace. Svědčí o tom jeho mnohá zpracování autory 19. a 20. století.126 Postupně se rozšiřoval o psychologické a antropologické přístupy, čímž se otevíralo spektrum interpretací. Lidová píseň o Krásné Vidě nebyla v 19. století již pouhým "historickým obrazem", ale žila svým vlastním životem, coby básnický útvar. Jako taková se stala motivací pro romantického básníka France Prešerna, který ji zbavil lidové epičnosti a vystavěl ji podle pravidel romantické lyriky. Promítl do ní vnitřní rozpor mezi ideálem a skutečností, přičemž zdůraznil toužení po nedosažitelném. Krásná Vida, v díle Ivana Cankara a bezpochyby i ostatních spisovatelů, není již Vida z lidové písně, ale především Prešernova Krásná Vida. Krásná Vida se mění ve slovinské literatuře především pode toho, co jednotliví autoři považovali za příčinu Vidina toužení. Původní lidová píseň je v tomto případě nejméně konkrétní. Poskytuje nicméně několik společných motivů. Vidu vyžene do světa neuvážené manželství, nemoc dítěte, špatná materiální situace, ale především naděje, že dostane...

The Ideology, the Play, the Secret: The Role of the Slovene Contemporary Fairy-tale in 1945-1975
Slezáková, Magdalena ; Jensterle Doležal, Alenka (advisor) ; Nedvědová, Milada (referee)
The thesis deals with shapes of the Slovene fantastic tale in the 1945-1975's and looks into the roles which have been assigned to it by it's authors. The thesis assumes that during this period, there were three basic types of authorial approach: fantastic tale in the service of the state ideology, fantastic tale as a free play of imagination and fantastic tale with overlap. These three roles are analyzed on the example of nine fantastic tales, most of them being from the literary canon of the Slovene children's literature: Udarna brigada (Anton Ingolič), Zgode in nezgode kraljevskega dvora (Milan Šega), Drejček in trije Marsovčki (Vid Pečjak), Moj dežnik je lahko balon (Ela Peroci), Strah ima velike oči (Marjan Marinc), Kosovirja na leteči žlici (Svetlana Makarovič), Potovanje v tisočera mesta (Vitomil Zupan), Deklica Delfina in lisica Zvitorepka (Kristina Brenkova) and Avtomoto mravlje (Jože Snoj).

The Slovenian alienation poetry
Mžourková, Hana ; Jensterle Doležal, Alenka (advisor) ; Kozár, Aleš (referee) ; Poniž, Denis (referee)
The topic of our work is alienation lyric, especially that in the early works of Dane Zajc, Veno Taufer, Gregor Strniša (his collections from the years 1958-1965) and also in the mature core of Svetlana Makarovič's poetry (poems from the first half of the seventies, 20th century). In that time, the magazines Revija 57 and Perspektive were of significant influence on cultural climate of the period in Slovenia and they were also the intellectual background of artistic creation. There are several other lyrists working simultaneously with alienation poets and being close to them in some aspects: Božo Vodušek, Edvard Kocbek, Saša Vegri and Niko Grafenauer. Resemblance of their works to those of alienation lyric can partly be ascribed to the influence of existential philosophy which had a significant impact on Slovenian literary creation as well as on the cultural life as a whole in the sixties of the 20th century. We chose the viewpoint of the alienation lyric's fictional worlds in order to analyze and interpret particular collections of alienation poetry, the theoretical background for delimiting fictional worlds of lyric being Miroslav Červenka's reflexions. Central point of attention in our work is the lyrical subject and we also emphasize the existence of small fictional worlds (particular poems or series of...

Chlebovská, Markéta ; Vlainić, Sandra (advisor) ; Jensterle Doležal, Alenka (referee)
This thesis deals with the topic of Serbian painting at the beginning of 20th century, specifically Impressionism. The text outlines the situation of Serbian painting at the end of 19th century and general tendencies of traditional artists to paint monumental historic topics. The paper captures impulses which bring the Serbian painting from old historicism to modern European level. The key moments are an opening of an art school in Belgrade and education of young painters in European cities. The period of Serbian Impressionism is divided in a few stages. The inaugural stage is about searching the basic characteristics of impressionism, the next stage is characterized by the painters' confidence in their style and making real impressionistic artworks and at the last stage, a peak period of Impressionism, Kosta Miličević and Milan Milovanović paint their best paintings, outside of Serbian area. The paper continues with an analysis of the public opinion and an opinion of experts after the end of the period. At the end of this thesis the attention is payed to the contact between Czech and Serbian Impressionism, mainly to Cyril Kutlík, Czech founder of the art school in Serbia and to a Kosta Miličević who studied in Prague and was influenced by the city.
