The Cobra Movement in the Context of Art of the 40s and early 50s.
Strasserová, Anna ; Klimešová, Marie (advisor) ; Rakušanová, Marie (referee)
This work deals with the experimental art group Cobra which united artists of three countries - Denmark, Belgium and the Netherlands, after the World War II. Although this movement was active only between the years 1948 and 1951, the beginning of this group can be traced in the pre-war period when the future members of the group were influenced by the mainstream art movements. Similarly, we cannot see the year 1951 as the end of the importance of this international art formation. Despite the short duration, the group united number of artists from different countries who then influenced many of future artists and art movements. This work therefore mentions the activity of Cobra members before the actual establishment of the group, attempts to describe in detail its work during its existence, and lastly, it indicates its further heading. A special chapter is dedicated to the connection of the group Cobra to the Czech art. The artists of Cobra drew their main inspiration from the work of arts of specific groups, such as that of children, mentally ill, so called primitive nations, or from the folk art. Alongside that, the artists created their own unique style based on collective and spontaneous work and liberal art expression. The plurality of their art expression and their relationship to other art...

André Breton and psychoanalysis
Paulů, Aneta ; Jamek, Václav (advisor) ; Voldřichová - Beránková, Eva (referee)
The topic of this thesis is the connection between psychoanalysis and surrealism, an important avant-garde group. The thesis focuses on selected theoretical writings of A. Breton, leader of the surrealist movement. Influence of psychic automatism on his work is being examined along the processes revealing unconsciousness in comparison with S. Freud's fundamental works. The thesis further defines how the Freudian psychoanalysis was processed in Breton's concept of surrealism and how it influenced surrealist conceptions and procedures, provided that the basic elements of inspiration are taken right from psychoanalysis. The ultimate goal of the thesis is to determine to what extent is the influence of psychoanalysis apparent in Breton's work, and where the surrealism goes beyond psychoanalysis itself.

The theme of love in the poetry of the Generation of '27
Doležalová, Barbora ; Sánchez Fernández, Juan Antonio (advisor) ; Poláková, Dora (referee)
The diploma thesis "The theme of love in the poetry of the Generation of '27" provides an interpretation of the motif of love in the work of three poets of this formation: Vincente Aleixandre, Pedro Salinas, and Luis Cernuda. It focuses on the collections of poems from the period of the "rehumanization" of Spanish poetry where "to rehumanize" is to return to the subject of love. The authors highlight the correlation of love and poetry as a means to overcome solitude of an individual and to relate to another or to the world. The influence of surrealism on the work of Vincente Aleixandre and Luis Cernuda has been outlined. Moreover, a thesis claiming that the "rehumanization" happened only under the influence of the surrealist movement has been refuted, which is illustrated on the lyric love poems of Pedro Salinas. The work attempts to show that even in this period the elements of pure, "dehumanized" poetry were not completely eliminated. In the work of Vicente Aleixandre, love is characterized as a cosmic force, which rules the whole world - it destroys, reforms and interlinks all. An emphasis is given on the corporeal nature of such love and the interconnection between erotism and the artistic process. In the work of Pedro Salinas, the motif of love is interpreted as a story of two people realized...

Matysová, Kristýna ; Hrbata, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Kyloušek, Petr (referee) ; Hrbata, Zdeněk (referee)
Walking and writing the world. An approach to modernity in Bohemia and France from the beginning of the 19th century to the 1940's In Christian allegoric texts the Pilgrim traditionally symbolizes the journey of mankind to heaven. From the second half of the 19th century on, poets, travelers, and vagabonds pursued the quest of an afterlife from within city walls. This dissertation examines the different representations of modern wandering via an in-depth analysis of the theme as encountered in French and Czech literature and arts from the early 19th century to the 1940's. It reveals, in chronological order, the different artistic approaches to modernity. By bringing out the various patterns that emerge from the texts, while taking into account the historical and social contexts in which they were created, this work adds to existing knowledge on the cultural similarities between France and Bohemia. It also examines the different literary genres which originate from mankind's need to walk and write the world.
