The topic of this thesis are four female literary characters from books penned by contemporary Czech women writers. These characters are Anna Bartáková (novel Do tmy by Anna Bolavá), Birgit Standtherrová (from the book A já pořád kdo to tluče by Radka Denemarková) and the two protagonists of Kateřina Tučková's Bílá voda, sister Evarista, and Lena Lagnerová. The first chapter of this thesis is dedicated to outlining the standing of these books and their authors within the context of contemporary Czech literature. The second chapter deals with the concept of literary criticism, ruminates on the purpose of this discipline and its shifting demands, and briefly introduces feminist literary theory. The theoretical part is dedicated to methodology and therefore outlines both the approach chosen in this thesis and the theoretical basis for character analysis. The practical section opens with interpreting opinions and reviews published in Czech media outlets. Special attention is paid to the way their authors think about the selected characters. This thesis then goes on to consider these four protagonists on the basis of the introduced theoretical findings. The goal is to ascertain how contemporary literary critics and review writers see female characters, as well as find out what these characters have in...

One hundred years of Švejk: tranformation of the critical reception of Jaroslav Hašek's novel
Mašek, Filip ; Malý, Radek (advisor) ; Osvaldová, Barbora (referee)
This thesis deals with one century of Czech critical reflection on Jaroslav Hašek's novel The Good Soldier Švejk, i.e. the period from the publication of the first volume in 1921 to 2021. Using reviews in the press, literary critical polemics, selected literary and scientific studies and relevant articles we follow the transformation of the critical discourse about the mentioned novel. The mutual coherence of the viewed sources is ensured by the emphasis on intratextuality, the overview character of the work is complemented by references to other works. This work then not only collects individual texts in the form of bibliographic records and recapitulations of key theses, but also places them in a cultural, historical or social context using interpretive blocks. Using interpretations, we create a narrative culminating in the conclusion when we report on the evolution of the work's critical reception. After its publication, the book is accepted by a wide readership, but literary criticism ignores it with only few exceptions. The work saw rehabilitation in the second half of the 20s of the 20th century thanks to the critical polemics of the time. Since then, the novel has undergone several revisions - in the 1930s it was interpreted as a proletarian novel, during the Second World War it was banned...

Španělová, Klára ; Slanec, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Malý, Radek (referee)
The work focuses on a Corporate design that shapes the brand identity. The goal is to design and create a new Corporate design for the Švandovo Theatre. In the theoretical part, I describe the functions of graphic design in a general sense. Then, I focus on the Corporate design and explain why it is crucial for all brands in the context of communication. I also examine, how local theater institutions use graphic design. I delve deeper into theaters that have decided to completely change their visual identity and have undergone a redesign. Lastly, I analyze the current visual style of the Švandovo Theatre, searching for specific challenges and opportunities for change. Using the acquired knowledge, I present my original proposal for a new graphic solution. It includes the logo, its variations, a specific color palette, and typefaces. I further present the visual style on a series of four different posters that advertise Švandovo Theatre's performances. I complement it with the graphic design of the tickets, the program, and the theater's promotional items. The main output of the work is a graphic manual that also describes the inspiration and meaning of each decision made in creating the graphic solution.
