The Mysterious Atmosphere of Prague and Prague German Authors
Karevová, Darina ; Stejskalová, Anna (advisor) ; Pechová, Drahoslava (referee)
Von der Prager deutschen Literatur ist nicht zu sprechen ohne Hinweis auf die Geschichte und die Topographie Prags. Prag war ein Brennpunkt der nationalen, sozialen und religiösen Konflikte innerhalb der Monarchie. In Prag entwickelte sich eine deutsch - jüdische Literatur und Kunst von Weltgeltung. Zur Erklärung dieses Phänomens wurden verschiedene Theorien entwickelt. Unter diesen die "Ghettotheorie", die davon ausgeht, dass die deutsch - jüdischen Autoren in einem dreifachen Ghetto lebten. Die Autoren empfanden in der polemisch zerrissenen, multinationalen Stadt die Krise ihrer Identität und gaben ihr den überregional und überzeitlich gültigen Ausdruck. Die Vorstellung von Prag ist mit der Atmosphäre des Unheimlichen, Mystischen, Magischen und Grotesken untrennbar verbunden. In dem Prag - Bild spiegelt sich das epochale Gefühl eines Untergangs und subjektive Emotionen der inneren Leere, der Einsamkeit und Entfremdung, der Angst vor etwas Unbekanntem und Furchtbarem. Zu den Prager deutschsprachigen Autoren gehörten auch Gustav Meyrink, Franz Kafka und Paul Leppin. Im Werk dieser drei Autoren kann man die geheimnisvolle Atmosphäre Prags finden. Fantasie, Traum und Wirklichkeit sind hier geheimnisvoll vermischt. Prag war ein Spiegelbild ihrer Seele, ihrer inneren Welt.

Bibliodrama as a Relation
Bodláková, Magdalena ; Ryšková, Mireia (advisor) ; Kuźniar, Mariusz (referee)
English anotation - Bibliodrama as relation Relational dimensions in bibliodramatic work and its theological embedment Basic question of the paper is, if and which connection bibliodrama has as to relation; if it is possible to understand bibliodrama as a bearer of relation, which dimensions relation has in bibliodrama and how it is theologically embedded. The paper is focused on aspects of bibliodrama in a relations perspective. First is the group (fellowship), meeting a biblical text in context of interhuman and transcendental relations; a description of group dynamics generally and specially in a bibliodramatic group. Another dimension of relations is the Bible representing communication and the relational dimension between God and man. Then the paper describes the phenomenon of religious experience, which is used in bibliodrama and makes man relate to the text in an emotional and personal dimension. Reflection helps to work on emotions in a more conscious way, and see them in a context of personal life and fellowship, biblical text and interhuman relations. Theological embedment of relation is based on the situation of creation, in which the basis of human existence is the ability of man relating to and being a picture of Gods. Likewise man relates to creation (world, other people and society). God is...

Transformations of the novel heroing from Romanticism by Modernism: María, Lucía Jerez, Ídolos Rotos, El Hombre de Hierro
Lněničková, Jana ; Sánchez Fernández, Juan Antonio (advisor) ; Vydrová, Hedvika (referee)
1.1. Résumé The objective of this thesis is to show how female's protagonists had changed from Romanticism by Modernism. On that purpose we decided to choose and compare four different novels: María (by Jorge Isaacs), Lucía Jerez (by José Martí) and Broken Idols (Ídolos rotos by Manuel Díaz Rodríguez) and The iron man (El hombre de hierro by Rufino Blanco Fombona). The thesis begins with an introduction to Romanticism and Modernism and then it is divided into three main parts; each of them is focused on one of the novels. As for three parts, first, we mention a story line of each novel and then we focus on four main female heroines: María, Lucía, Teresa and María Luz. We start with María. María is considered to be a romantic novel. It is a story about unfortunate love between Efraín and María. María is young, beautiful, innocent and pure. We do not know much about her feelings or thoughts because it is Efraín (her love and narrator of the story), who describes everything. It seems like María has no will, she let other people to decide for her. At the end of the story María dies, but she will always be in Efraín's heart; pure and beautiful as she was during her short life. The novel Lucía Jerez stays between Romanticism and Modernism. It is also a love story, but this kind of love is different from the...

Art above reality. The Aesthetics of Oscar Wilde and Its Contemporary Context
Souček, Dalibor ; Jarošová, Helena (advisor) ; Pechar, Jiří (referee) ; Ševčík, Miloš (referee)
The main object of my dissertation, focused on aesthetics of Oscar Wilde, includes: transparent recapitulation of thoughts presented in Wilde's theoretically principal texts and further interpretation of Wilde's aesthetics in its complexity and up-to-dateness as well. The key importance for the Wilde's aesthetics, for the main texts capturing his aesthetical thinking, is partly superiority of art over reality, partly the program "life as art". Let's encapsulate individual texts from this perspective: In The Decay of Lying the art - a beautiful lie serves as a paradigm for life and nature. In the essay The Critic as Artist the criticism-art is an example of how people should live: either to escape to beauty, to imagination or to escape to a dissociated, aestheticized view of life. This aesthetically-ethical choice is one of the substantial aspects in the novel The Picture of Dorian Gray: art as an example of how to manage to live a hedonic and sensual live as much as possible - in contrast to a certain extent - how to live a "dissociated, spectatorial life". In The Soul of Man Under Socialism the art has its revolutionary-political dimension: it represents a model of a real individualism; maximum self- development. Finally, in De Profundis Wilde includes in his "artistic life", which is a matter of...

Practice of Reading Skills in Teaching German - from the Contemporary Didactics' Point of View
Tykvová, Eva ; Nečasová, Pavla (advisor) ; Švermová, Dagmar (referee)
Das Lesen spielt im Leben des Menschen eine wichtige Rolle. Es genügt schon, sich in der Öffentlichkeit umzuschauen und überall sieht man Leute, die lesen, in der Straßenbahn, auf der Parkbank, an der Bushaltestelle oder im Cafe. Der deutsche Schriftsteller Jean Paul sagte mal: "Bücher lesen heißt, wandern gehen in ferne Weiten, aus den Stuben über die Sterne." Lesen heißt aber nicht nur Bücher lesen, sondern es stellt auch eine wichtige Möglichkeit der Kommunikation dar. Wir leben in einer Welt, in der die schriftliche Verständigung von großer Bedeutung ist. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

The Role of Imagination in Aesthetic Experience in Mikel Dufrenne's Thought
Borecký, Felix ; Ševčík, Miloš (advisor) ; Fulka, Josef (referee) ; Hrbata, Zdeněk (referee)
1 Summary: F. Borecký, The Role of Imagination in Aesthetic Experience in Mikel Dufrenne's Thought The aim of this dissertation thesis is to present Dufrenne's original conception of imagination and to highlight its significance for philosophical aesthetics. We focus on a critical interpretation of two alternative approaches which Dufrenne considers in his work. The first approach is based on a noetic perspective, the other on an ontological one. In both cases, Dufrenne claims that imagination is a productive, effecting activity which in a formative manner participates in knowledge of a priori truths regarding human being in the world. Such knowledge is most fully accomplished in the aesthetic experience. Only there a man opens oneself to the external world while maintaining with it a relation of primordial corporeity, which they both - i.e., both humans and the world - share. Imagination and its correlate, the imaginary, in an aesthetic experience stimulate each other and enable a reverberation of the most fundamental possibilities of human being in the world. It is imagination and the imaginary which enable a man to penetrate the superficial empirical level and reach the deep level of the a priori. On the level of the a priori, a man can experience the original corporeal unity which is of the same kind...

The 20th century muralism in Mexico
Binková, Petra ; Opatrný, Josef (advisor) ; Štěpánek, Pavel (referee)
As I was trying to suggest in this text, the cultural value of mural production is political in the sense that it responds to interests and motives of the social world and intends to transform the space which it occupies. When doing so, such visual works orient itself toward the construction of its own public. The mural process that aspires to create mural art must therefore be multiple and combined. A similar thought has been pointed out by Bruce Campbell his book Mexican Murals in Times of Crisis: [Mural practice must be] making its commitments and negotiating compromises within the balance of social forces; attempting to fix in some manner the social context in which it takes place; hailing a more or less broad sector of the social milieu; and seeking out some meaningful figure with an eye toward symbolic consensus, or "no man's land" capable of negotiating through perspectival conflicts over the space of the work.,,161 Only by attention to the practical components of muralism does it become possible to recognize a contextual variety of mural work. In fact, these are nothing more than distinct modes of formal compromise between the production of the mural image and its public. An alternative delineation of contemporary muralism is thus at the same time a delineation of practical accomplishments...

Depressive disorder incontext of psychosocial risks and the possibilities of treatment of depression with a view to cognitive - behavioral therapy
Břendová, Andrea ; Klimešová, Anna (advisor) ; Hubertová, Lucie (referee)
This bachelor thesis is focused on depression like an illness that interferes with daily life of man. My basic work was to find out the answers to these questions. What is the different between "normal reaction" and depression? What is the depressive disorder? What are the symptoms of depression? So, the starting fact of this asking is the depressions is more intensive, deeper then sorrow, last for longer then current sorrow and interferes with daily life. The important chapter of this bachelor thesis is the information about psychosocial risks out of non-cured depression. I see the most consequential problem in suicide of person suffering from depression. The persons with depressive disorder often don't seek help. They often solve their difficult condition with alcohol or drug abuse. This situation also belongs to the psychosocial risk and also it is the moment when family can help. This theme is component of my bachelor thesis too. I solve there how family can help their member with depression. The necessary part of this work is chapter about possibilities of therapy of depression disorder. I intent on treatment of depression by cognitive-behavioral therapy, because this form of therapy is used the most often. This approach helps the person with depression change depressive behavior and thoughts to can...

The Puritan view of death: attitudes toward death and dying in Puritan New England
Holubová, Petra ; Procházka, Martin (advisor) ; Robbins, David Lee (referee)
The Puritan attitude toward death in seventeenth- and early eighteenth-century New England was ambivalent and contained both terror at the possibility of eternal damnation and hope for deliverance. The joyful theme of the migratio ad Dominum resonated with the Saints only at times when they were convinced divine grace was actively working in their lives, but when they saw they were backsliding, the horror of death prevailed. Puritan anxiety about death was caused by tensions inherent in the doctrine of predestination, which implied man's dependence on God's inscrutability, and in the doctrine of assurance, which implied that self-doubt was more desirable than full assurance of salvation. What complicated any verification of the presence of grace was man's endless potential for self-deception. Memento mori gave urgency to the Puritan work ethic and the effective use of time. The anxiety about one's destiny began in early childhood when death and its ensuing horrors for the depraved were used as a means of religious instruction to provoke spiritual precocity and conversion. This early immersion into the discourse about death has been erroneously interpreted as a proof of the non-existence of childhood in Puritan New England. Deathbed scenes depicted in Puritan spiritual biographies were designed as examples...

A Unique Role of Jesus' Humanity in Paraenesis in the Epistle to the Hebrews
Paluchník, Pavel ; Roskovec, Jan (advisor) ; Mrázek, Jiří (referee)
In my work I am predominantly concentrated on the texts referring to Jesus' humanity. The main task of my dissertation is to assess the author's comprehension of Jesus' humanity and what impact it has on the paraenesis in Hebrews. The author seems to react to a tough situation of the readers who were possibly asking themselves, "how can this glorious, enthroned Jesus know what I am going through down here?" In the paper I will deal with two passages of Hebrews primarily: Heb 2:5-18 (including the introduction to chapter 1) and Heb 4:14-5:10. Both the passages seem to fundamentally constitute the author's comprehension of Jesus' identification with humanity, his earthly struggle, suffering and piety, which qualifies him as our Saviour, Redeemer, 'Archegos' and High priest. The author's detailed description of human Jesus is almost shocking for a reader. We see crying, praying and suffering Jesus, without strength and divine help at hand. This view seems to be scandalous. Yet, the author never separates this Man from the divine Son of Hebrews 1. This is very clearly, almost surprisingly, evidenced on the very place of Jesus struggle for sinlessness in Heb 5:7-8. The paraenesis is fully based on the fact that Jesus lived a life of an ordinary man in obedience, dependent on God. His obedience and reliance on...
