Imagination of Horse in the Pre-islamic Poetry. Comparison of Horse's Imaginatin in Poems of ʻAntar ibn Shaddād and Imruʼu ʼl-Qays
Galíková, Michaela ; Ondráš, František (advisor) ; Provazníková, Adéla (referee)
(in English): The aim of the bachelor thesis is the analysis of the image of the horse in the poems in a collection of Muʻallaqāt of two important representatives of pre-Islamic poetry - ʻAntar ibn Shaddād and Imruʼu ʼl-Qays. In their verses, the poetic representation of the horse reached its peak form, while each of the two poets is characterized by a very individual approach to the representation of the horse not only as a companion of the pre-Islamic knight and warrior, but also as a subject of nature lyric. On the basis of selected verses, an analysis of poetic images characterizing horses was carried out both in the context of the poet's emotions and the tribal relations of pre-Islamic society.

Dystopic (and) Environmental Elements and Removing Taboos in Ahmed Naji's Novel
Kubátová, Jana ; Ondráš, František (advisor) ; Kříhová, Zuzana (referee)
The aim of this bachelor's thesis is the analysis of dystopic (and) environmental elements and removing social and environmental taboos in the textual and, to a lesser extent, graphic content of the 2014 novel Istichdām al-ḥajā (Use of Life) by Egyptian writer Aḥmad Nāǧī. The thesis focuses on dystopic (and) environmental elements within the novel's most prominent motifs (and sub-motifs), which are criticism (of Cairo's environment and aspects of Egyptian politics) and frustration (in the spheres of personal unfreedom and interpersonal relationships), and on removing social (sex, drugs) and environmental taboos. All of this is analysed and interpreted within the theoretical-methodological framework of ecocriticism, especially in accord with the results found in Adam Trexler's publication and Teresa Pepe's study. The analysis is also carried out in the context of Arabic and Egyptian environmental literature (the principle of intertextuality), the context of Aḥmad Nāǧī and his trial, and in the cultural and historical context of Egypt in the 21st century. Keywords: Modern Arabic Literature, Egyptian Novel, Dystopia, Environmentalism, Removing Taboos

Structures and themes of Yusuf Idris' short stories
Provazníková, Adéla ; Ondráš, František (advisor) ; Oliverius, Jaroslav (referee)
This bachelor's thesis deals with the artistic development of the Egyptian writer Yusuf Idris (1927-1991). Based on the study of two short stories collections it describes the changes in his writing from the 1960s to the 1980s. To achieve this goal, the thesis uses the terminology of the theory of fictional worlds developed by Lubomír Doležel, which provides a suitable tool for the characterisation of themes and techniques in Idris' works. Starting from Idris' realistic worlds of the 1950s, the thesis tracks and explains the fundamental change that his writing later underwent. The essential socio-political context is also given. Through detailed textual analysis of selected short stories, the thesis concludes that author's fictional worlds from the 1980s are darker, more self-contained and complicated, despite of some continuity of themes and structural techniques used throughout Idris' work.

Thematization of the Space in the Work of Muhammad Zafzaf
Hamplová, Veronika ; Ondráš, František (advisor) ; Provazníková, Adéla (referee)
This Bachelor's thesis is concerned with the thematisation of space in the short story collection Ḥiwār fī lail mutaʾaḫḫir of the moroccan author Muḥammad Zafzāf who began publishing in the early 60s. I examine the short story collection from the point of view of Daniela Hodrova's theory of places with a sectret taking into consideration the context of the development of modern moroccan literature written in arabic. Muḥammad Zafzāfa and other authors of his generation use new narrative approaches such as focalisation and inner monologue. The character acts and exists in wherever the story takes place, therefore also the place as experienced by the character becomes a literary topic. This thesis focuses on the role of the individual and the role of the place or setting in the collection. In the analytical part the thesis I conclude that there are three ways thtat the protagonist accepts their situation: place with a secret, boundary place, and place of the vicious circle. However, they always face a situation and place out of their control. The thesis confirms the presupposition that the collection portrays characters unable to change their own fate.

The work is divided into three parts. The first part discusses the philosophical framework of Qabbānī's work, especially in relation to his contemporary Adonis, and presents linguistic elements that can well illustrate the process of integrating the sphere of politics into love poetry in the author's work. The second part presents several major historical events that influenced the author's political views and the poet's insight into these, as well as the poet's criticism of Arab political regimes and their authoritarian practices. The last part analyzes the poet's work as a whole and shows the ways in which the poet's politically oriented verses are intertwined with his love poetry.
