Objektiv-travel magazine of the Czech television
Brodcová, Daniela ; Lokšík, Martin (advisor) ; Šobr, Michal (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with the travel magazine Objektiv and wider theoretical background of travel programs. Although these magazines are major components of television journalism, especialy in terms of social and cultural benefits, there have not been devoted much space in the proffesional literature to them yet. Therefore the theoretical part of this thesis closely specifies its genre anchorage within the television production and is dedicated to their characteristic features. The main object of studying is the magazine Objektiv, whose first episode broadcasted Czechoslovak television in 1987. It is therefore the oldest czech travel program with continually lasting tradition. In the examination the author applies the knowledge defined in the first part of the thesis and information obtained by interviewing its creators. She deals with its formation and development, then focuses on various aspects of the implementation of the program, for example deals with its way of getting the reportage materials and dramaturgy of the magazine. Subsequently, these elements are explored by using quantitative content analysis. On the basis of the obtained results it is described how the magazine Objektiv currently fulfills its task and found if it provides a balanced content in every way. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Meeting of the East and the West in the Works of Ahmed Midhat and Rifa'a al-Tahtawi
Hartman, Tomáš ; Kučera, Petr (advisor) ; Malečková, Jitka (referee)
(in English): The main goal of my thesis is to find out the methods that were used by two middle-eastern authors, Rifāʿa aṭ-Ṭahṭāwī and Ahmet Midhat, to present the image of the West to their readers based on analysis of their works. In this thesis I am trying to reach this goal by topic analysis of their source works in the first place. In the second part of this work I included the description of life-fates of these two authors and circumstances under which they realized their journeys to Paris. This part of my thesis is based mainly on secondary literature, but is amended by quotations from source works. The main contribution of this work is based on the fact that this is first work of its kind which compiles works of these two authors. At the same time this work presents the image of the West from two different perspectives that differ a lot from each other and yet provide us with image of the same kind.

Current trends in the genre travelogue
Kittnarová, Hana ; Mocná, Dagmar (advisor) ; Peterka, Josef (referee)
The aim of this work is to map, capture and enlighten the contemporary phenomenon of travel and travelogue, and introduce it as a still alive and evolving literary genre. This is illustrated by the analysis of contemporary Czech periodicals, blogs, websites and several literary works of this nature. The work, based on this analysis, creates their genre typology. The results show that there is a retreat of lyrical and poetic type, while the current is a form of narrative and novelistic travelogue, in which a subjective description and personal tone predominates and the position of the author - narrator is strengthened. Contemporary literary production of travelogue genre is very broad and findings of this work describe the current status and trends, which tend to mix and combine genres, incorporating travelogue into fiction and enriching it with new elements through differentiation of ideas and interests of travelers. The educative extent of travelogue in contemporary works is often taken aback, or is thanks to fictionalization appropriately incorporated into the text.

Keywords: travelogue, 18th century, libertine culture, Italy, Egypte, Napoleon, Louvre. Number of characters: 121 846 (68 pages) The present thesis, Dominique Vivant Denon - From travels in Italy to the Louvre Museum is divided into two parts.

The introductory pages of the thesis deal with the reception of Denon's works. There is a certain flux in the perception of Denon's oeuvre which has given rise to a range of interesting issues. One of them, the popularity of the libertine culture of pre-revolutionary France in the second half of the twentieth century, accounts for the fact that the novella Point de Lendemain is today the best known piece among Denon's extensive and multifaceted writings. A shift in the perception of the travelogue as a literary genre in our time, when the remotest of places are accessible in hours, may be...

Dušek Pražáková, Jana ; Tvrdík, Milan (advisor) ; Zbytovský, Štěpán (referee)
This thesis is concerned with a comparison of works written by GDR authors Hanns Cibulka, Waldtraut Lewin a Christine Wolter which deal with the motif of the journey to Italy. The analysis is based on spatial and intercultural theories, which are presented in the first part of the thesis. The genre of travelogue, the motif of the Italian journey in the German-language literature and political conditions for the creation and publication of travelogues in the GDR are also introduced. The core of the thesis is the comparison of eleven texts, especially travelogues, regarding the spatial and social dimension of travelling. The first aspect covers reflections of Goethe's Italian journey and the function of travelling, as well as the depiction of nature, urban space and architecture and the treatment of the garden motif. Regarding the second aspect, the author follows the narrative technics used in portraying the mediators between the travelling writers and the Italian culture, as well as in the depiction of tourists or strangers. An additional question of the study is whether (and possibly how) the writers reflect on the GDR regime against the background of the Italian scenery.
