A Return to Classicism? Proust's Thinking about Love
Šťastná, Kristýna ; Voldřichová - Beránková, Eva (advisor) ; Pohorský, Aleš (referee)
A Return to Classicism? Proust's Thinking about Love A sceptical approach to love has always been represented in French literature, especially during the Classicism era. This work is an in-depth analysis of Charles Swann and his romantic relationship with Odette - as it is depicted in the first part of Marcel Proust's In Search of Lost Time. This paper attempts to verify if Proust, a 20th century author, remains anchored in the moral literary tradition and to what extent. The work examines Proust's understanding of love and compares it with the ideas of Classicism, which the author often references. The work also delineates how this pessimistic approach to love was further developed in French literature and philosophy. To what extent can, for example, Jean-Paul Sartre or Maurice Merleau- Ponty be considered as Proust's disciples?

The next chapter contains analyses of Hořejší's own articles detailing his views on the theoretical aspects of translation (which are also reprinted in the Appendix), putting them into the context of contemporary translation theory and practice. The fnal two chapters analyse selected translations. The frst deals with verse drama translations, Arnoux' Huon of Bordeaux and Racine's Phaedra; the latter with an extensive commentary on the history of Czech stage alexandrine. The next chapter follows Hořejší's work with colloquial language in Pagnol's Fanny and compares his approach to translation of Giraudoux' Intermezzo with that of Karel Kraus.

(in English): Our thesis is titled The Open Work? Swann in love and it's film adaptation. Our primary aim is not only to summarize the most famous theories about the openness of the work but also to apply these theories directly to the book Swann in love and subsequent comparison of the literary and film adaptation of the story. We have divided the thesis into three chapters. The first one is methodological overview. In our thesis we will deal with several phenomena from the field of literary science. We will be interested mainly in the character of the reader and the author and the different roles attributed to them by different theories. We will look closely at the differences between the empiric and model reader and the author, deal with the openness of the work, the difference between the subjects of the author, the narrator and the main characters, and we will also look into the theory of fictional worlds. We chose the work of Umberto Eco as a theoretical basis, but we also draw some ideas from the work of other literary theorists. In the second chapter, these theories will be applied to the specific passages of the book Swann in love. Let's get into the fictional world of Swan's love and watch the surroundings. We will try to conclude what the reader of this work should be, what mistaken...

Le bateau ivre in Czech translation
Merhautová, Marie ; Pohorský, Aleš (advisor) ; Šarše, Vojtěch (referee)
This thesis is focused on the Drunken Boat poem by J. A. Rimbaud and its Czech translation. In particular, it focuses on the content of the poem and the meaning of specific images. It seeks an answer to a question to what extent does the preservation of poem's formal elements adversely affect its content and the vividness of its images. For this purpose, an original Czech translation of the poem is introduced, which is in turn analysed together with the other pre- existing translations. The study finds a parallel between Rimbaud's own path to freedom, leading from formal aspects to content, and his work, reflecting the same principles. For this reason, the formal aspects of the original poem and its Czech translations (e.g. Čapek, Hrubín, Neznal, Kadlec) do not represent the primary topic of this work. Instead, the study focuses on preserving the content of the poem and its new interpretations. Finally, the thesis also provides a review of the Czech translations of the poem.
