Works of Songs by J. B. Foerster: The Six Songs Based on Puskin's Poems Op. 161
Tománková, Jana ; Ottlová, Marta (advisor) ; Gabrielová, Jarmila (referee)
The song genre constitutes a significant part of J. B. Foertser's work (around 350 songs). In the Czech musical context, Foerster is along with Vítězslav Novák considered a founder of modern Czech song. Despite its unquestionable significance, Foerster's song output remains an unexplored area in musicology. The aim of this diploma thesis is to contribute to the body of scholarship devoted to Foerster by focusing on this area of his work, which has not received adequate critical attention. The main part of the thesis consists of detailed musical-textual analyses of the song cycle Šest písní na básně Puškinovy op. 161 (1937). Through the analyses, the thesis examines the composer's approach to the setting texts to music and points out the qualities of his work. The discussion gives an overview of Foerster's song output and outlines the main critical concerns in this area of his work. The last but one chapter of the thesis compares opus 161 with selected Foerster's song cycles from his previous work periods and an attempt is made to put the opus into the context of the composer's song output as a whole. In the conclusion, opus 161 is discussed in the context of the Czech and, more generally, European song productions.

The purpose of the thesis is to deal with a writings of Vladimir Holan as a thematic unity, where the motifs are transformed. The metamorphosis depend on a time, when they have been written in. Our used method of his writings is in a chronological order. This thesis is focused on the motif of a movement and his metamorphosis in poetry of Vladimir Holan. The aim is to penetrate the problems of the movement as a physical activity and approached the movement as a confirmation of existence on a basis of Patočka's phenomenological phylosophy. Other chapters pay attention to analysis of motifs of movement, which are recognizable in Holan's poetry. Their feature change from lightness and freedom to heaviness and limitation. Afterwards the point of this work reaches the axis: a wind - a wave - a water flowed - a bird - a cloud - a stone - a snake - a wall. Due to the better understanding of Holan's work, we make a passing comment about the motifs which are connected with notised above. These connections will able to put our thoughts about Holan's conception in order.

Poetics and picturesque in a landscape
Havránková, Lucie ; Hnízdil, Aleš (advisor) ; Jiří, Jiří (referee)
The subject of the thesis is a description and depiction of poetics and picturesqueness of landscape using the elements of East Asian landscape poetry as a source of inspiration to perceive the beauty of the landscape surrounding the South Bohemian village of Kvilda. Based on the study of landscape poetry texts, a specific mountain trail was chosen to capture this poetics and picturesqueness. By choosing well-selected stopovers on this trail, the thesis is aimed to evoke the perception of poetic elements of nature in the overall context of the surrounding countryside. Here, the text description of the esthetic values of landscape and environment is the way to create a project of revitalized landscape with picturesque features and specific vegetation species.
This work is also explained in the context of Šumava, which is described in the introductory part of the thesis so that the reader will gain a better understanding of the project setting. This introduction acquaints us with the natural and artistic background of Šumava and the environs of the village of Kvilda that surround the trail.
The whole project comprises the analysis of the environment of each stopping place on the trail, the description of its main points of interest and the transformation of the place in different seasons of the year in respect of a particular landscape feature. Each stopover is supplemented with landscape poetry texts with the aim to capture the atmosphere of the place even better. At the end of each chapter associated with a particular stopping place there are art displays which are specific to this environment. These should acquaint the visitors with the environment and offer them an inspiration that each place conceals. The whole project imitates a tour through nature and draws attention to individual points of interest in the landscape, which we so often tend to overlook. The above aspects can also be applied to garden and landscape design.

The young poetry of the 1990s
PIORECKÝ, Karel
The submitted work is oriented towards the writing of young poets who made their authorial debuts into literary communication in the 1990s. It regards the creation of authors unburdered by experience with the cutural politics valid before November 1989, and therefore creation born in the complicated context of the post-totalitarian cultural situation in which very different traditions were combined, including traditions which were banned from public communication during the previous decades. Parallel with this process the young poetry of the 1990s was born, whose character was inevitably marked by the period interest in everything from the past that had been until recently forbidden. The work begins with an independent chapter devoted to the literary-critrical reception of young poetry in the 1990s. Aspects analyzed include the language, framework of values, criteria and expectations which were valid for contemporary literary criticism of young poetry in the 1990s. It is demonstrated that the key question for young poetry to answer was the question of what traditions it should draw upon in the changed and democratized cultural and social conditions. Expectations were oriented in the direction of the past, towards a connection with one of the worthy and newly non-proscribed traditions, rather than towards a neo-avantgarde seach for new expressive registers. The subsequent three chapters follow three expressive currents within the framework of young poetry of the 1990s {--} spiritual poetry, objective poetry and imaginative poetry. Analytical and interpretational explorations of these three currents are linked by a common point of view, which is a focus on the lyrical subject and the form of its stylization. This methodological point of departure leans on Červenka's theory of the the lyric subject, to which is devoted the independent theoretically oriented chapter in the introductory part of the work. This unified focus of attention on the lyric subject made it possible in the conclusion of this work to create a typology of the form of the lyric subject and to follow basic tendencies characteristic for subjectivity in the young poetry of the 1990s. It was demonstrated that the young poetry of the 1990s was willing to accept the three traditional lyrical modes and expressive registers, but it removes from them any kind of programmatic and ideological accents. Traditional lyrical modes, after their transplantation into a post-totalitarian and also post-modern situation, stop being part of a master narrative and therefore their original metanarrative character is eliminated (from spiritual poetry the explicit confessionality is lost, imaginative poetry removes surrealistic revolutionarity and psychologism, the poetry of objectivity eliminates the pathos regarding necessary developmental change, with it this lyrical mode was applied by Skupina 42). Traditions therefore do not continue to evolve in their original forms, but are selectively used with a view to the current state of culture and thought.
