Screenplays of Zbabělci (The Cowards)
Mikolášková, Jana ; Holý, Jiří (advisor) ; Přibáň, Michal (referee)
This Bachelor Thesis focuses on the comparison of Škvorecký's novel The Cowards and its four initially planned film adaptations: the synopsis of Miloš Forman and Josef Škvorecký and with the screenplays by Petr Jarchovský, Bohdan Sláma and Andrea Sedláčková. The theoretical part is based on the most recent adaptation theory, processed, for example, by Linda Hutcheon and Alicja Helman. This theory disapproves the "fidelity of a literary work" criterium yet respects the distinctiveness of the film language and a possibility to transform the meaning of the work upon the adaptation. This Thesis also succinctly deals with a "concretisation" concept. The analytical part presents the comparison itself. For each adaptation, the circumstances of origin are stated first, followed by the work analysis. The comparison targets changes authors have decided to perform on the original story's characters, locations, and events. It also focuses on the musical approach and briefly on the poetics of the newly-emerged work. The Conclusion recapitulates the findings that refer to the similarities between particular adaptations and the considerable differences between these adaptations and the original text.

The three lives of a selfless confident - the story of Antonín Vlach, publisher in exile
Přibáň, Michal
This study deals with the life story of Antonín Vlach (1905-1997), a remarkable, but also controversial, personality on the Czech anti-communist exile literary scene 1948-1968. The author aims to enhance and complete Vlach's portrait which he sketched in his book Prvních dvacet let (The First Twenty Years, 2008), mapping the development of the literary monthly Sklizeň (The Harvest), published by Antonín Vlach in Hamburg from 1953 to 1969. In the present study, the author comes up with hitherto unpublished facts about Vlach's activities in exile before and after the period of Sklizeň and tries to rectify inaccuracies and mystifications published about Antonín Vlach in exile periodicals at various times; he gives evidence of Vlach's collaboration with the Nazis during the Protectorate (1939-1945) and also of his attempt to cooperate with the communist secret police in 1983.

Arranged every five years at the initiative of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic Institute of Czech Literature, the congress brought together some 150 researchers from all over the world this year. Czech literature at the interface and the periphery deals with the personalities and forms involved in the occurrence of “otherness” in Czech literature: the boundaries of understanding “otherness”, problems of the emergence of “the other”, images of “the other” and the alternative cultural and geographical spaces of Czech literature. It looks in detail at authors who are neglected, not included or difficult to categorize, including Czechs beyond the borders. It also examines Czech-German, Czech-Austrian, Czech-Polish, Czech-Hungarian, Czech-Slovak and Czech-Jewish literary relations as well the “otherness” of particular works and characters, the context of Czech literature and translation, and the specifics of teaching Czech literature.
