Impact of literary prizes awarded to the media image of books
Linhart, Jiří ; Čeňková, Jana (advisor) ; Halada, Jan (referee)
This diploma thesis researches the impact of a literary prize on the media image of the awarded book in 2012. More precisely I pursue these awards and winning titles: Jaroslav Seifert Prize (Vladimír Binar: Číňanova pěna), Jiří Orten Award (Vratislav Maňák: Šaty z igelitu), Josef Škvorecký Award (Kateřina Tučková: Žítkovské bohyně), Magnesia Litera - The Book of the Year (Michal Ajvaz: Lucemburská zahrada). First I analyse the change of the quantity (the number of references and the share within the text), then I focus on the modification of the journalistic assessment of the title (on the scale positive - neutral - negative). In first case I use a quantitative analysis of media content, in the second case I use a comparative semiotic analysis. My sample are these Czech periodicals, in alphabetical order: A2, Aktuálně.cz, Hospodářské noviny, Host, iDnes.cz, Lidové noviny, Literární noviny, Reflex, Respekt, Tvar. The main output is a discovery, how the Czech print and online written media reflect the results of the literary prizes, also I (try to) determine the media power of each award.

Ota Pavel's Fictionalized Reportages from Sports Environment
Linhart, Jiří ; Čeňková, Jana (advisor) ; Hájek, Roman (referee)
In this thesis I work with four books by Ota Pavel. These are following titles, in chronological order according to a date of publication: Dukla mezi mrakodrapy (Dukla between Skyscrapers), Plná bedna šampaňského (A Carton Full of Champagne), Syn celerového krále (The Celery King's Son) and Pohádka o Raškovi (The Fairy Tale about Raška). Their common characteristic is that - according to a classification of The Institute of Czech Literature - they all represent Pavel's journalistic sports books. I inspect them from two points of view. The first one is the content itself: there at first I analyse Pavel's attitude to a narration and then a character of the text in terms of language, which includes, among others, elements of journalistic and artistic style and stylistic devices. The second view of Pavel's sport reportages issue are their historical and later media response (reviews, studies...). Those will complete a picture of analysed material and serve as an factor to compare gained results with reactions of the expert and media public. My aim is to sum up findings of the narrative and language analyses in the first part and assess the outputs of comparative analysis in the part two.
