Drawing on the corpus of twenty novels spanning from 1997 to 2017, it shows how the prism of children manifested itself in Italian novels of that period. The thesis is divided into five chapters: theoretical, historical, analytical, synthetic, and a conclusion. The first chapter clarifies what a literary subject is, and through the prism of the narratological theory of Gérard Genette and his followers Mieke Bal and Sklomith Rimmon-Kennan, she defines three basic subject roles (narrator, focalizer, character) that a child occupies in a narrative. The second chapter shows when and how a child protagonist first made appearance in the history of Italian literature. The third chapter focuses on the narratological analysis of the novels in question, which, with the help of the theoretical terms established in the first chapter, divides them into two groups: novels with a...

Alessandro Baricco's postmodern novels
Přívozníková, Pavla ; Flemrová, Alice (advisor) ; Pelán, Jiří (referee)
Tato diplomová práce zmapuje románovou tvorbu současného italského spisovatele Alessandra Baricca. Úvodem bude představen autor v kontextu současné italské prózy. V další části práce nastíníme charakteristiku postmoderního románu, zejména pokud jde o tříštění či dekompozici prostoru, času, příběhu a s tím související žánrovou heterogennost textu. V centrální části práce rozebereme jednotlivá díla, přičemž se budeme soustředit jak na příběh, jeho hlavní motivy a témata, tak na jeho kompozici a strukturu. Ve čtvrté kapitole využijeme dílčích analýz jako východiska ke komparativnímu přístupu k textům a pokusíme se najít společné i odlišné konstrukční principy jejich výstavby a návratná témata či motivické konstanty Bariccových próz. Závěrem zhodnotíme přínos tvorby Alessandra Baricca pro současnou italskou prózu.

Existentialism in the works by Alberto Moravia
Šimková, Petra ; Flemrová, Alice (advisor) ; Přívozníková, Pavla (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to search for the existential features in the work of Italian novelist Alberto Moravia and to map their development. We focused on four novels which represent individual periods of author's work and we tried to describe existential features in the life stories of the main characters. At first we focused on the definition of existentialism and we defined its basic features. After that we mapped the development of existential features in Italian literature through the character for which we used personal designation "inetto" and we get to the work of Alberto Moravia. In the individual novels we focused on the main character as well as literally- historical context, the narrator and the impact of author's life on his work. In conclusion of the thesis, we devoted our attention on Czech translations of Moravia's novels and we tried to define the awareness of this novelist in the Czech Republic. By the performed analysis of the novels we proved that existential features appear through the whole work of the author and that they undergo some development marked by the biography of the author. Based on our research we can say that Alberto Moravia is rightly called the author of the novels with existential features.
