The relationship between a computer game and its audiovisual pattern
Šírová, Tereza ; Šlerka, Josef (advisor) ; Šisler, Vít (referee)
Diploma thesis The Relationship between the Computer Game and its Audiovisual Pattern deals with the similarities and differences between the computer games and audiovisual works. The thesis presents some theories reflecting different points of view to the influence and blending of these media forms. Those theories are the base for a suggestion of typology of games and movies adaptations that were made according to a pattern. In each of three suggested categories, there are mentioned some particular examples of computer games that were inspired by movie or series and also examples of movies that were inspired by computer game. The final chapter is a case study which compares the computer game Lost: Via Domus to its audiovisual pattern - series Lost.

Poems on walls. Poetry in public space
Chlumová, Jitka ; Krol, Ellen Jacoba (advisor) ; Sedláčková, Lucie (referee)
In the last years placing of poems in public space has become popular in the Netherlands. The poems are to be found in the cities, mainly on the walls and in the pavements, as well as in the nature. They are specific form of poetry which was not described thoroughly so far. This thesis describes the phenomenon (for which the term wallpoems is used) from three different points of view: it is poetical object by itself, part of the city as a social space and part of literature. (1) The wallpoem is poetical object in which the interaction is very strong between the text and the medium. The interpretation of the poem is strongly influenced by used material (bricks, stone, glas, metal), typography and location (wall, pavement, nature). The location has own social cultural context that influences the perception. Thanks to the unusual placing outside of any book the poems can be seen by another public. Very important is for the reader the surprise and unexpectedness of such a meeting with poetry. (2) The wallpoem is part of the city space. The most poems are part of organised projects which also influences their perception. Some of them have common theme or background idea given by the initiators. These projects can represent particular aspects of the city or create an image of it. Such image is meant as...

Constructing Artificial Chaos
Hakl, Vilém ; VAJCHR, Marek (advisor) ; ŠERÝ, Ladislav (referee)
This work is about works of art which imitate chaos in terms of their structure. The focus of this work is POETICS OF CHAOS, in other words: specific techniques used to construct artificial chaos. The poetics of chaos is also explored through narration, the grotesque anti-myth about Eris, the Goddess of Chaos, and Paris, the prince of Troy, and his horrifying masturbation phantasy. The main field of this work is literature and film, but music and painting are also explored. The analysis of SPAS (a novel by Ivan Matousek) and ASTHENIC SYNDROME (a film by Kira Muratova) are included, because the structure of these masterpieces is brilliantly chaotic.

The Gender in the literature - the theory and analysis of chosen texts
CIBULKOVÁ, Nina
In the dissertation I will examine gender from the literature side based on the comparison with chosen articles of authors from Czech and World literature. I am trying to interface theoretical and practical part. I have chosen three authors in the practical one: William Shakespeare, Arnost Lustig and Jaroslav Havlicek. On the basis of six written works of those authors I compare individually differences among main characters. In books Romeo a Julie (Romeo and Juliet), Zkrocení zlé ženy (The Taming of the Shrew), Modlitba pro Kateřinu Horovitzovou, Dita Saxová, Helimadoe a Petrolejové lampy I am searching for elements of gender, comparison of roles of men and women, and progression of particular female characters.
