Fairy Tale as a Dream
Vídršperková, Lenka ; Kučera, Miloš (advisor) ; Viktorová, Ida (referee)
This thesis presents the psychological concept of dreams and fairy tales and the possible similarities existing between them. Its main source is a depth psychology, psychoanalysis particularly. The thesis is consisting of two parts. In the first part, the theories of dreams and fairy tales are described and the possibilities for their interpretations are given. Then the affinity between dreams and fairy tales is presented including the theory of the Hungarian psychoanalytic Géza Róheim and the Israeli psychologist Ravit Raufman. Róheim assumes that fairy tales represent a social transformation of individual dreams. The development of this idea is: the fairy tales are inducting dreams that would be dreamed, anyway. But they finish better now, with the victory for the child. Raufman applies the methods with which fairy tales have been studied on dreams and defines the affinities between them. In the other part, the similarities between dreams and fairy tales are checked using collected dreams of children aged from 6 to 15. Dreams are interpreted with a special attention to a fourteen years old girl. The thesis also works with the dream of a young woman collected by Raufman. Finally, an explicit and implicit content and formal characteristics of the children's dreams are compared with the most famous...

Space-time breakdown in Julio Cortázar's fantastic tales
Krejčová, Veronika ; Poláková, Dora (advisor) ; Škodová, Denisa (referee)
As the title may reveal, my work will focus on space-time breakdowns in Julio Cortázar's (1914-1984) oeuvre. This Argentinian writer's work is centered mainly on the fantastic genre, specifically on tales. He is one of the most important representants of this genre in the zone of Río de la Plata, although for the most of his life he lived in Paris, where also many of his works were written. With help of other literary critics and theorists, I will try to define the space-time breakdowns in his creation. Tzvetan Todorov in his The Fantastic: A Structural Approach to a Literary Genre, distinguishes between three main categories: the strange, the fantastic and the marvelous. Another critic, Ana María Barrenechea, in her a little bit more vital theory divides the fantastic into these three categories: the natural, the unnatural and the mixture of both. As an example I will use four of Cortázar's tales. On those, I will apply the mentioned theories, nevertheless I will also point out the possible lack of clarity and obsolescence in them and will try to offer some new alternative solutions. David Roas, Spanish critic of fantastic literature, will be a great help. Is the space or time important in the literature? And what is that Cortázar's Fantastic feeling? I'll try to answer these questions and...

Sleep and dream in the Czech picture of the world
Bulak, Patrik ; Vaňková, Irena (advisor) ; Martínek, František (referee)
The thesis focuses on the conceptual area of sleeping (including waking, dreaming etc.) based on the theories and methods of the cognitive-cultural approach to language. The first chapter deals with the human experience of sleeping. The conceptual area is interpreted both in relation to physical experience and as a part of the Central European cultural code. The second chapter concentrates on the concept and the approach of the linguistic picture of the world (e.g. Bartmiński, 2012), the detection and verification of the semantic connotations method (Bartmiński, Panasiuk, 2001), the conceptual metaphor theory (Lakoff, Johnson, 1980/2002), the cognitive conception of metonymy (cf. ibid), and the interaction between metaphor and metonymy (i.e. metaphtonymy, Goosens, 1990, 2002). The third chapter is based on the linguistic data excerpted from various Czech dictionaries and describes the conceptual area. First are introduced derivational nests, then relevant semantic relations and etymology of the selected terms (spát, bdít etc.). The chapter also analyses polysemy of the selected terms in detail, as well as polysemy of their derivatives. This part of the thesis presents the formulation of conceptual transmissions which are manifested in the given linguistic meanings. The fourth chapter is a...

Dream and painting in Czech art in 1930s
Tocar, Sofia ; Lahoda, Vojtěch (advisor) ; Rakušanová, Marie (referee)
One of the main goals of the thesis entitled Dreams and Painting in Czech Art in 1930s is to describe the relationship between dreams and fine arts. Through studding artists' approach to this topic and analyzing their works of art I want to explain in which way and to what degree dreams can influence art. The paper is focusing only on Czech artistic scene where some artists belonged to the Surrealist movement. As distinct from the French scene, in Czechoslovakia not only Surrealists were interested and inspirited by unconsciousness. The described pictures use various techniques of painting, drawing, collage and photography. The artists capture dreams' imagery or fill the painting with a dreamlike atmosphere. The first chapter is a theoretical introduction to the adaptation of dreams by art. It acquaints the reader with the groundbreaking work The Interpretation of Dreams (1900) written by Sigmund Freud. It also deals with the reaction other writers had to this publication. The second chapter deals with the illusions of dreams (the motif which is often repeated in Jindřich Štyrský's work and refers to his childhood) that is characterized as object-phantom. Another significant motif is the surrealistic dreamlike landscape typical for Josef Šíma and František Hudeček and the city landscape that is...

Prenatal dreams tchämong in Korea
Mudruňková, Kateřina ; Zemánek, Marek (advisor) ; Löwensteinová, Miriam (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to present tchämong, a specific Korean dream of conception, that if properly interpretated can provide some information pertaining to the conception and other qualities of the unborn child to the dreamer. This thesis contextualizes tchämong into a broader category of dreams of conception, and then focuses on its specific features in Korea's culture. The fundamental aim of this paper is to exemplify the claim that tchämong is embedded in the system of traditional beliefs, practices and myths, which act as a main factor in continuing this tradition into modern times. The primary focus is given to tchämong within the framework of pregnancy practices and beliefs and close relation between tchämong and myths, which is expressed especially in its symbolism.

The Motif of Dream in Selected Texts of 19th Century Czech Literature (Zeyer - Mácha - Erben)
Drechslerová, Katharina ; Charypar, Michal (advisor) ; Sládek, Miloš (referee)
This thesis examines the subject of dreams in fiction, focusing on selected Czech authors of the 19th century. In the selected titles of Czech writers (Karel Hynek Mácha, Karel Jaromír Erben, Julius Zeyer), the attention is paid primarily to the motif of dream. The emphasis is placed on the meaning of dreams in particular works (Mácha - Pouť krkonošská; Erben - Kytice; Zeyer - Dům U tonoucí hvězdy, Blaho v zahradě kvetoucích broskví, Stratonika, Jan Maria Plojhar, Radúz a Mahulena) and its possible use in the story. The thesis also evaluates the various forms and concepts of this literary theme. In the particular works, dreams have a different function, and therefore the thesis chose a comparative method between the single texts. The thesis aims to track both common and different elements of dream in the selected works. Throughout the text, the main focus is directed to the analysis of dreams, dreaming and used symbolism. The conclusion summarizes the main findings concerning the meaning of the cited dreams, especially in the context of the content of a particular work. The whole thesis is based on the traditional concepts of dream in psychology and psychoanalysis (Carl Gustav Jung, Sigmund Freud). Therefore, the thesis introduction, which applies to the whole text, is focused on their conception...

Černá, Eva ; Jamek, Václav (advisor) ; Voldřichová - Beránková, Eva (referee)
Surrealistic Moments in Raymond Queneau's Novels The objective of this thesis is to study the connection between Raymond Queneau's novels and surrealism. Raymond Queneau was part of the surrealistic group for only a relatively short time and after he left it, he fully rejected the surrealistic movement and concentrated his literary output in another direction. Nevertheless, there are surrealistic moments to be found in his work, on which this thesis will focus. The thesis contains a brief characterisation of surrealism as a literary movement and a basic overview of Raymond Queneau's life and the structure of his works. Special focus is given to the part of the author's life when he was active in the surrealistic group. The thesis further studies the period of time when Raymond Queneau was no longer part of the surrealistic group and when he turned his attention to completely different literary aspects of his production and participated in the work of other literary groups, whose methods differed substantially from the methods of surrealism (Oulipo); special focus is given to the significant aspects of the author's output, i.e. emphasis on the literary form, structure and order of his works. The main focus of the thesis is to study the surrealistic moments in Raymond Queneau's novels, which occur in his...
