Czech LiteraryDreams. (The Interpretations of Three Kundera's Novels)
Kovácsová, Adéla ; Špirit, Michael (advisor) ; Heczková, Libuše (referee)
Diploma thesis Czech literary dreams deals with interpretation of three novels by Milan Kundera (The Joke, Life Is Elsewhere, The Book of Laugter and Forgetting). The core of the interpretations lies with the dreamy parts of the novel. The meaning of the text was sought within relations of more and less noticeable subjects and intertextual references. The interpretations of chosen Kundera's novels are partially observed through the context of works of Ludvík Vaculík, in particular by the context of The Czech Dreambook.

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.

Subsequently, I choose two short stories and carry out both a language and narrative analysis, with the aim of finding out how is Hyakken building the dreamlike atmosphere.

Anxiety and estrangement in Juan Carlos Onetti's works
Krupková, Tereza ; Housková, Anna (advisor) ; Vydrová, Hedvika (referee)
Anxiety and estrangement in Juan Carlos Onetti's works Key words: Onetti, The Well, novel, Eladio Linacero, estrangement, anxiety, loneliness, dreams, Tizón This work focuses on the literary conception of characters in Onetti's works. Specifically, it converges on anxiety, loneliness and estrangement, which are the central components of the author's prose. Onetti's first-fruit, The Well, serves as a starting point. This novel revealed new possible ways of the novel-writing and influenced many other authors. It carries the key issues of Onetti's future work. The novel is sketchy; the images often do not follow each other and they are directed by hidden associations. There appears a new character: urban anti-hero, who escapes from the hostile reality to the fantasy life. The present work features the protagonist of The Well with other Onetti's characters. The part dedicated to the style focuses on the relation between form and content. Onetti's books are about misunderstanding which is reflected in the structure and language. In the final chapter of this work is confronted The Well with The Beauty of the World by Héctor Tizón. Different and in some components similar processes allow to recognize and define Onetti's style and uniqueness better.

Teenagers Living in a Children´s Home and Their Visions and Dreams.
CIGLEROVÁ, Diana
In the theoretical part the period of adolescence is defined and it is completed with description of a preadolescent. Next chapter is devoted to description of a few pubescent children staying at a children?s home. The survey of different types of facilities providing care for children without their own functional family follows. The topic of next chapter is family. The thesis also deals with biological and psychological needs which if they are not satisfied cause deprivation. The explanation of deprivation is also included. The aim of the work was to find out the differences in ideas, visions and dreams preadolescent children, i.e. children at the age of 11 to 14 , staying at staying at Domino children?s home in Plzeň on the one side and children living in common families on the other side. The issue of the research was to find out how children from the home imagine their future life. The research involved eight respondents from the children?s home ? four boys and four girls. The research was carried out during the practical training of the author of the thesis and her voluntary activity at the children?s home in the period January ? March 2013. The research also included another eight respondents, again four boys and four girls, living in common families. These children were chosen on the basis of systematic random selection, on the principle of their free consent, to make comparison of preadolescents from a children?s home and of early adolescents from common families possible. The research was implemented at the same period of time. Qualitative research was chosen for processing of the empirical part. The following methods were used - method of questioning and technique of half-standard talk. The topics of talks were focused on some categories ? a child?s dream job, the greatest wishes, interests and leisure time activities and what the child is looking forward to the most. The data gained from talks were processed with a method of clusters. Below them a brief evaluation of the given data can be found. The research shows that the children from the children?s home had lower targets in terms of their professional careers. Most children from the children?s home want to go on to technical training institutions. Some of them had vision of their dream but despite of this they will go to a different school, i.e. they will not try to make their dreams come true. The main reason for choosing an easier path was fear of something new, something unknown. Children want to have their permanent background and not to move from one establishment to another. Most children from families wanted to study at university and they really want to reach their objectives. The fact of deprivation of the children from the children?s home resulted clearly from their wishes. Most of them wished to have a dog, a cat or a horse and they would prefer a pet to going back to their families or to improvement of relationships in their families. A few children from families would also like to get an animal. Interests and leisure time activities of both groups are quite similar. At the children?s home each child attends a special club; the children from common families also have some special hobbies. These hobbies are similar. This research may help to increase information among educators from different institutions, among the children?s parents and it also may serve as a source of information to the general public. It shows how dreams and visions of children from children?s homes differ from dreams expressed by children living in common families, what their dream jobs are, which activities they like, what their great dreams are and what they are looking forward to. Thus, they may get closer to the world of children and understand better their own children or children they take care of.
