Mornsteinová, Lucie ; Kanasugi, Petra (advisor) ; Tirala, Martin (referee)
The goal of the following thesis was to present respective renditions of the Czech possessive pronouns in the literary translations into Japanese as assigned.

For the purposes of this thesis books War with the Newts and The Joke were chosen. Prior to any analyses sentences containing possessive pronouns and its respective renditions were chosen in the Czech original and Japanese translated texts.

Was creation of the Edo outcaste order also motivated by an effort to restrict access to strategical commodities, or was it only a side effect of individual edicts and restrictions? To answer these questions I used two approaches. At first I diachronically described the development of groups connected with the concept of ritual pollution from the ancient times, and to this data I applied Mary Douglas's grid and group theory. Results of this show that during the time period in question development of groups of eta tanners was significantly accelerated, while the status of the non-persons groups of hinin was stagnating, or regressing. This thesis hopefully offers a brief insight into the overlooked aspects of Japanese history, and sheds some light on the reason for the discrimination of descendants of the burakumin group which in Japan...
