Intertextual Relations in The Engineer of Human Souls
Pácalt, Tomáš ; Bílek, Petr (advisor) ; Špirit, Michael (referee)
The bachelor thesis is based on the analysis of the role writers' images and particular fragments of English and American writers (Poe, Hawthorne, Twaine, Crane, Fitzgerald, Conrad, Lovecraft) have in the novel The Engineer of Human Souls by Josef Skvorecky. This relationship is to be interpreted according to the theory of intertextuality with a goal to analyse a value that these intertextual connections have in the Skvorecky novel. The thesis aims at some of the basic themes in The Engineer of Human Souls with a connection to the English and American writers. The thesis also references to the works of Premysl Blazicek. These references should discuss cognitive functions of a work of art.

Ontology of the aesthetic object and the value of the artwork, reproductions and forgery
RIGANOVÁ, Šárka
This bachelor thesis is focused on issues originals and copies of works of art (reproductions and forgeries), namely problems of constitution of the aesthetic object and its value. In this purpose I compare Nelson Goodman´s theory of autheticity of works of art to Eddy Zamach´s theory of identity of works of art. I compare these theories with Roman Ingarden´s theory of aesthetic object. I am focusing too on influence of non-aesthetic´s informations about artefacts (originals, reproduction, forgery) on constitution of aesthetic object and its judgment of value marginally.

Representation of the House in British Fiction /1906-2009)
Hanzlová, Tereza ; Grmelová, Anna (advisor) ; Chalupský, Petr (referee)
The diploma thesis focuses on diverse representations of the house in selected British novels since 1906. The novels have been chosen in reference to the importance assigned to houses in terms of plot, characters, and setting, each offering a unique vision of the house. A house is perceived as a home, as a possession or as a work of art. The novels by E.M. Forster, John Galsworthy and Simon Mawer are viewed through the prism of Phenomenology, namely the essays of Martin Heidegger, Jan Patočka and Anna Hogenová. This type of analysis provides an insight into the motivations of the individual characters, but also a deeper understanding of the function and role of the house in fiction as well as in reality. All the works are studied accordingly in the context of a wider social, cultural and aesthetic background. Key words: British fiction, Phenomenology, House, Home, Modernism, Work of Art

The first chapter gives an explanation of the basic terminology used in the area of copyright law and sets the frame for the comparison of authors and authorship and performing artists and their artistic performances. In the Czech Republic, authorship is based on the expression of a piece of art in any way perceivable by human senses. There is no registration principle in effect. This fact provides the starting point for the protection of authors' rights. Therefore it is important to precisely define what can be considered a piece of art and who can be recognised as an author or a performing artist. The second chapter deals with the legal treatment of authors according to the Czech Copyright Act and other legal regulations, including the recent case law and description of the most often infringements of the copyright...

Ondřej Sýkora ABSTRACT: The purpose of this bachelory diploma is to present a weapon as a mean of hunting or fighting, as well as the masterpiece, which says a lot about a person who created it.

Paraphrase of art work - changes in time
KANALOŠOVÁ, Alexandra
This diploma thesis is divided into two main parts - the teoretical and practical part. The teoretical part deals with the topic of paraphrase in the classical art, surveys the creation of paraphrases in the context of art evolution from the 16th century to the present time and tries to find the answers to the questions which relate to reasons of their creation. It tries to answer the questions what reason the artist of the paraphrases had and what made the artist create a paraphrase of a piece of art which was made a long time before. The teoretical part is a negligible glossary whose meaning is to show a range of different attitudes. The practical part is focused on authorial paraphrases which were made on the basis of the teoretical part and use different views and approaches to the process which the phenomenon of the paraphrase offers.
