Media Image of Empress Elisabeth of Bavaria
Zapotilová, Tereza ; Vojvodík, Josef (advisor) ; Činátlová, Blanka (referee)
The topic of this thesis is the image of the Austrian Empress Elisabeth (1837-1898) within the framework of fictional narratives. Elizabeth of Bavaria is a constant subject of interest for historians and artists, as evidenced by, among other things, a number of historiographic and fictional works dealing with the lives of her and her close relatives. In my work, I analyse how the Empress is presented in 16 selected historical novels, films, series and theatrical productions, of which she is a major or minor, but important figure of the story. The theoretical basis for me is the question of the relationship between fiction and non-fiction and the issue of fictional works with historical themes. I then examine the image of the Austrian Empress in five chapters, each focusing on one key aspect of her life, one of the "roles" she has played over the course of her life, and in each of these chapters I on the one hand compare how the authors of the fiction deal with the topic, on the other hand I equate this fictional picture with how the professional historiographic discourse approaches this issue. In the end, I then deal with the issue of the Empress's image within fictional narratives in general, and I also deal with the means and methods by which the authors of fiction deliberately deviate from the...

("Titania Shall Not Go Where People Walk…" - Empress Elisabeth of Bavaria and her Escapes
Zapotilová, Tereza ; Županič, Jan (advisor) ; Hlavačka, Milan (referee)
The subject of these works deals with the personal characteristics of the second to last Austrian Empress Elizabeth (1837 - 1898), the wife of Emperor Franz Josef I. The main focus of these works are the problematics of her aversion and removal from state duties as dictated for her position. Elisabeth of Bavaria had practically been running away from public responsibility for most of her life, both truly and mentally. These works concentrate on the individual forms of escapes that she had orchestrated. My platform is dedicated to Elizabeth's ambivalent relationship to people, her passion for sport and care for her own appearance, but also travel or personal release into the world of literature. In conclusion, the myth of her persona is described, which began to emerge during the Empress's life, but developed more after she was murdered, respectively in the second half of the last century. Key Words Empress Elisabeth, Emperor Franz Josef I, Habsburg monarchy, Habsburgs (Habsburg- Lothringian dynasty), Wittelsbach
