Romany people in Romanian culture
Schneiderová, Andrea ; Našinec, Jiří (advisor) ; Otčenášek, Jaroslav (referee)
This thesis deals with the Roma, one of the largest and most influential cultural minority groups in Romania. Their culture has been part of the country for centuries, and consequently they have had a significant impact on Romanian culture and society. Not in all cases the influence is positive, therefore the diploma thesis will deal with individual branches (cases / parts) separately. The first part discusses the history of the Roma since their departure from India, through their arrival in Romania in the 14th century, until today. The thesis will describe the current situation of the Roma, both from a cultural, linguistic and social point of view. The following chapters will focus on craft, language, literature, and other arts and their significance in the Romanian environment. In some cases, it may be the work of the non- Romani, the Roma being the subject of drawings, photographs, literature and music. In another case, they are the Roma themselves, their language, culture and art, which left a trace in Romania. Whether or whether not the Roma have influenced Romania examines a questionnaire that was submitted to Romanians of different age and gender. The results of the questionnaire are analyzed and compared with the facts resulting from the diploma thesis.

The Image of the Prince Vlad III. Ţepeş (Dracula) in Literature
Schneiderová, Andrea ; Valentová, Libuše (advisor) ; Vajdová, Libuša (referee)
This bachelor thesis focuses on an important historical character, the Wallachian prince, Vlad the III. Tepes, otherwise known as Dracula. Vlad III. was a prominent figure in the Romanian history and its literature. One of the oldest Romanian literary works is partly about his person, mainly a celebration of his reign and himself. Some works, also covered in this thesis, make it difficult to fully understand his role as they depict the ruler as a vampire and a negative figure in the fictional literature and the history of Romania. The introduction of this work focuses on the life and reign of this ruler. The second part examines literature with Vlad III. as a protagonist. Works of different genres and origins (English, Romanian, Czech) will be used as examples. The last part establishes a comparison between these literary works and also a comparison of documented historical facts against myths and superstitions. The chosen works are, Bram Stoker: Dracula, Ion Budai-Deleanu: Ţiganiada, Corneliu Leu: Plângerea lui Dracula a Jaroslav Tichý: Kníže Dracula a jiné hradní pověsti. A characteristics of the work, analysis of characters and the storylines, the circumstances behind the origins of each work and its possible future influences on the other works will be stated.
