On the Underappriciated Bulgarian Studies Works of František Rut Tichý, Also Known as Zdeněk Broman (1886–1968)
Černý, Marcel
This study concentrates on the Bulgarian studies works of F. R. Tichý (who since 1903 also wrote under the pseudonym of Zdeněk Broman), an unjustly neglected figure in Czech-Bulgarian cultural relations, (among other things, a contributor to the journal Slovanský přehled [Slavonic Review]), who was a literary historian, and a prolific translator and journalist in the fields of Czech, German, Bulgarian, Ukrainian, and Belorussian studies. Besides his hand-written Czech anthology of works by the pioneer of the Bulgarian literary Modernism, Pencho Slaveykov (which is preserved at the Literary Archive of the Museum of Czech Literature in Prague), Tichý's adaptations of poems by Kiril Khristov, Peyo K. Yavorov, and Khristo Botev (book translation from 1913) are analyzed in the text, and also an excerpt of the translation of the prose work Bay Ganyo by Aleko Konstantinov is briefly commented on. The relationship between Tichý and the Bulgarian literary historian Boyan Penev is also mentioned and his Bulgarian studies articles published in periodicals are evaluated. F. R. Tichý's contribution to Bulgarian studies lies in the fact that he was the first ever promoter of and expert on the Bulgarian literary Modernism in the Czech lands and that he considerably improved the quality of Czech translations of Bulgarian poetry.

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.

This MA thesis is primarily concerned with the poetics of the first two poetry collections by the Bulgarian writer Georgi Gospodinov. The said collections, Lapidarium and The Cherry Tree of One People were published for the first time in the 1990s. The first part of the thesis is devoted to the author's debut, Lapidarium; mainly, we are attempting to capture the collection's characteristic traits and draw attention to the conspicious features connecting this oeuvre with the book Tao Te Ching. In the second part we continue by the analysis of The Cherry Tree of One People. We are focusing on the change of the author's poetics and furthermore, we concetrate on the national/supranatural aspects of the texts. In the concluding part, we anchor Gospodinov's work in the wider context of the 1990s and provide a comparison of contemporary Czech and Bulgarian poetry.
