The principal themes and motifs in Rubén Darío's poetry
Grabec, Jan ; Vydrová, Hedvika (advisor) ; Poláková, Dora (referee)
The aim of this work is to capture and explain the motivic and thematic aspects of the poetical work of Rubén Dário. Rubén Darío has substantially contributed to the formation of the hispano-american modernism, that originated mainly from the literary movements of the 19th century in Europe. Hispano-american modernism has formally revived obsolete poetical structures of its time and has provided other Spanish speaking writers for enriching their writings with new elements. This work then concerns itself with the analysis of themes, which have appeared in his writings most frequently. The motivic part of his writings was, especially in his earliest writings, deeply influenced with mythology, mainly the classical and the germanic one, but also with oriental art, and often evoked the environment of aristocracy. His critics have often declared those motives to be exotic as they were not common in Darío's times. Finally the work is trying to capture the motivic and thematic shift between his fundamental writings, the Worldly hymns (Prosas profanas) and the Songs of Life and Hope (Cantos de vida y esperanza). In contrast to the Worldly hymns, the Songs of Life and Hope decline to existentialism.

Two Different Versions of Vítězslav Nezval's Poems from the 1920th
Hušáková, Barbora ; Holý, Jiří (advisor) ; Špirit, Michael (referee)
The thesis deals with two differrent versions of Vítězslav Nezval's poems from the 1920s, focusing on self-censorship. First I observe the development of poetism, principles of the composition of the poems and Nezval's works from the 1920s. In the following part, I describe the condition of cultural background during the 1950s and speeches pronounced at the SČSS conference. On the basis of comparison of the two versions of Nezval's poems from the 1920s, I proceed to the following classification of motifs which were removed by the Nezval's self- censorship − biblical and mythological motifs, references to European avant-garde, carnality, alcohol and drugs, exotic places and oppressive social conditions. Key words: poetism, Socialist Realism, version, poems, self-censorship, motifs
