Paradigm of Czech modern and postmodern feminism in the context of European culture
Fuxová, Bohuslava ; Ferrarová, Eva (referee) ; Pachmanová, Martina (referee)
This study presents an anthropological and historical analysis of the women's movement in Europe and its interaction with and influence over the development of the women's emancipation movement in Bohemia since the romantic period. Specifically, this study focuses on and understands European feminist literary achievements as crucial to instigating and informing the various developmental stages of the emancipation movement in Bohemia. In mapping the features of the Czech women's emancipation movement not only onto major works of European feminism but minor ones as well, this study examines the full range of influence had by feminist writing in the Czech lands, including that of works that have fallen into obscurity. By reconstructing international feminist writing in its historical context, this study is able to identify "lost" texts and consider closely their movement between feminism and romanticism, liberalism and capitalism. Against this backdrop, this study brings the individual efforts of both known and relatively unknown feminist pioneers in Bohemia to the fore in an attempt to grant them the public recognition they deserve. Thus, this study traces the currents of global feminism in order to achieve a powerful local effect.

Kareta, Filip ; Jamek, Václav (advisor) ; Pohorský, Aleš (referee)
Bachelor thesis of Don Juan as a character in French literature from the period of Classicism to the period of Romanticism. The thesis is mainly focused on development and transformation of Don Juan's character in literature from the 17th to the mid 19th century. For the Classicism period, the author chose the comparative method, taking Molière's Don Juan character as a pivotal figure of the Don Juan myth. In the 18th century Don Juan does not appear in the literature but the author found similar features from the libertines of that period and therefore he compares the character of Don Juan to Valmont in his work. Romantic authors like to return to the topic of Don Juan and he appears in short stories and poems. The author presents various concepts of romantic Don Juan with emphasis on new features which were added by many individual writers. The conclusion of Bachelor Thesis is devoted to Don Juan as a mythical figure and it's comparison with Tristan.

HROMÁDKOVÁ, Tereza
In the first part, this paper examines publishing and reception of the work The Adventure of Madrana since its first publication until the end of World War 2, i. e. until 1945. An attention is aimed to five existing articles written by the authors of that period, which occurred in significant magazines from the end of 19th century (Ruch, Pokrok, Květy, Osvěta, Čas), and one monograph about Julius Zeyer, in which the authors criticise the researched work. The second part is divided into two sections. The first analytical section characterizes the structure of the text from narratological and poetological point of view. It focuses on basic narratological categories of the analysed text, i. e. the narrator, the story, the characters, the time and the key dynamic themes. Special attention is paid to descriptiveness which forms the work in a characteristic way. The second section is focused on the relation of the text towards the literary forms of the end of 19th century, i. e. realism, parnasism and romantism. The aim of this work is to give a complete image of Zeyer´s work The Adventure of Madrana.

The national revivalist enlightened by romantism?
FRANTA, David
The aim of the study is the analysis and the interpretation of three different texts (occasional poetry, heroic epic and a record of dream), which hade taken a form in the late 1820? and in the course of 1830?, by Josef Franta Šumavský (1796-1857). The interest of the literary criticism concentrates on expressing markers of the literary discourses (the tendencies of the enlightement, romanticism and biedermeier) in all of these texts to decode the idea of these texts, on the intertextuality of iconography and poetics and also on their total historical context. On these texts, still ignored by literary criticism, it was able to describe the art syncretism of the Czech National Movement (Revival) and characterize the literary production of this time in its genesis thanks to the method inspired by new historicism, Peter Zajac?s and Dalibor Tureček?s pulse theory and Vladimír Macura?s semiotics. In the apendix, the list of the Franta?s literary and scientific works in the book, journal and hand-written form is attached.
