Utopia in Barataria?
Šoškolová, Adriena ; Sánchez Fernández, Juan Antonio (advisor) ; Housková, Anna (referee)
(in English): This thesis focuses on the topic of utopia in the most significant work of Spanish literature, Don Quixote. Specifically, the analysis of this topic is applied to the chapters of Sancho Panza as a ruler in Barataria. Additionally, this thesis will deal directly with the theme of utopia from the perspectives of Erasmus and Thomas More, two authors who dedicated themselves to this issue. It is essential to clarify the meaning of utopia in their conception, which is as a presentation of an absurd, ridiculous, and unattainable society that ultimately represents a parody and satire on the author's own society. Therefore, the issue of utopia will be studied in the mentioned chapters, along with related themes such as laughter, popular culture and carnival, which is discussed in M. M. Bakhtin's work, from which this thesis also draws. Another important source is the book The World of Don Quixote, which concerns with the identical topic in the chapter Utopia in Don Quixote. The aim of this thesis is to examine whether this theme does indeed appear in Don Quixote, and if so, in what form, variant. Furthermore, it aims to highlight the way in which utopia is reflected in the work, to study the influence of Thomas More, as well as aspects associated with utopia, such as laughter, popular culture...

The bourgeois culture in the novel La Celestina
Šoškolová, Adriena ; Sánchez Fernández, Juan Antonio (advisor) ; Kožnerová, Tereza (referee)
(in English): This bachelor's thesis deals with one of the most famous works of Spanish literature La Celestina. This work is, except many other aspects, well-known for its ability to consummately cover the sociological and cultural situation of Spain. The thesis is focused on features of bourgeois culture in this work, which means middle class. I would like to disprove the semblance, that this social class doesn't appear in this late medieval work and I would like to present proofs, which support it. In view of the fact that the work La Celestina reflects social, economical and cultural situation of its time, it is highly probable that also a theme of bourgeois culture will be sketched out there somehow. The aim of this work is to find features of this newly constituting social class. Further, the work will focuse on the figure of Pleberio, father of Melibea, whose we can consider a legitimate burgher.
