Vertiginous relations in Eugene O'Neill's Desire Under the Elms and Mourning Becomes Electra
Landerová, Petra ; Roraback, Erik Sherman (advisor) ; Wallace, Clare (referee)
The recurrent theme of inter-human family relationships in a state of loss and decay in plays authored by Eugene O'Neill arises in part from the author's own traumatic relationship with his parents and with his brother James. Trying to deal with his torturous memories, O'Neill seeks answers through his cursed characters, who partly derive from the writer himself, yet also offer a universal portrayal of humankind as a victim of his own mental being and system. Given O'Neill's profound interest in psychoanalysis, the plays mostly take place in the life process of the individual minds of the protagonists and of the animating effect they have on others who populate the play-texts; therefore it is essential for the understanding of the play-works under critical consideration to look at the inner lives and worlds of these enigmatic characters, and to evaluate to what extent they act on their own will and where, conversely, unconscious forms of desire from other characters, memories, wishes, objects and so forth are instead determinant. The canonical plays Desire Under the Elms and Mourning Becomes Electra offer an intriguing blend of the forms and of the contents of the classical-traditional and of the modern stage play, as they extend the heritage and the lineage of ancient Greek tragedy, although situated in...

The Viola and Compositions for the Viola Throughout the Centuries
Kárníková, Martina ; Tomášek, Jiří (advisor) ; Perglerová, Marka (referee)
This thesis deals with viola literature. It covers an outline of historical development of viola and the problems of viola playing. The main part is centred around the music written for the viola. There is an outline of instructive pieces for the viola that are used in Czech music schools. The part that concerns individual epochs of music development and their contribution to the viola output is focused on solo output and chamber music. The aim of this thesis is to provide readers with the insight into the compositions written for the viola from Baroque until the present day and is to facilitate the orientation in the output for the viola. The thesis informs readers not only about works composed for the viola, but also about the problems of viola playing. However, this work does not aim to be an exhaustive list of all works for the viola. It rather tries to cover the works that may be used at all levels of artistic mastery and that are still played in concert halls and music schools. It may serve as a helpful handbook for students and teachers who are interested in viola playing. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Time, space and characters in the story The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
MATUŠKOVÁ, Radka
Subject of my bachelor´s work is literary theoretical analysis of the story of The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (1900-1944), which is not only in czech countries known as of the most popular books. Study of categories space - characters - time alows to better understand narrative perspective of the story. In the first part of my work we focus on character of the author of the book, whom I presented a little unusual way, by eyes of two women, who played an important role in his life. We also closely introduced the story of The Little Prince and the book as such. We divided next part into chapters by categories space - characters - time and in each we elaborately attend to according issue. The aim of my study was to point out, by analysing categories mentioned above, the intellectual depth of the story, which is not reflected by the readers in many cases.

KRAUSOVÁ, Lucie
Submitted Thesis consists of two parts theoretical and practical. The theoretical part aims at the chronological mapping and analyzing of all available Czech editions of Karel Čapek's play R.U.R. from 1920 until 1989. It also deals with design-transformations of Čapek's Robot on the examples of selected theatre plays in Czech lands as well as in foreign countries performances. The Thesis pays attention to stage executions on the basis of period photographs, drawings and reviews. It is created a united survey of this Čapek's play in the Czech lands in the given time period from its origins until its theatre realizations and book publications. The practical part of the Thesis will then extend the historical play book covers given in the theoretical part by creating an original author book based on Čapek's play, which will be the visual interpretation of the text. By that will be produced a continuity between the theoretical and the practical part of the Thesis.

The concept of diversity in the trinitarian concept of Mario Victorino (analysis of Adversus Arium Ib)
Němec, Václav ; Karfík, Filip (advisor) ; Karfíková, Lenka (referee) ; Floss, Karel (referee)
I když každé literární dílo samou svou podstatou přesahuje konkrétní historickou situaci, v níž vzniká, a tudíž múže být čteno a interpretováno v odlišných souvislostech, je zároveň součástí živého proudu myšlení určitého společenství, z něhož se napájí a do něhož se samo včlel1uje; autor je k jeho sepsání obvykle podnícen určitými historickými okolnostmi a obrací se k okruhu možných čtenářú. s nimiž sdílí určitý kontext a u nichž předpokládá určité předporozumění. Právě kontext, který byl autorovi i předpokládaným adresátům jeho díla v určité historické situaci natolik samozřejmý, že ho nebylo třeba výslovně tematizovat, se však v dúsledku časového a kulturního odstupu rozpadá a musí být rekonstruován, aby dílo mohlo ke čtenáři promluvit v jeho vlastním, do jisté míry odlišném kontextu. Porozumění literárnímu dílu, od jehož vzniku nás dělí dlouhá staletí, tak vždy předpokládá zasazení do živého pletiva kontextu, v němž se zrodilo, tím, že je příslušný text uváděn do vzájemných souvislostí s jinými dochovanými sedimenty minulosti. Jak naznačuje již samotný titul Adversus Arium, jímž opatřil soubor pěti hlavních spisů z corpusu Victorinova theologického díla jeho vydavatel J. Sicard v první tištěné edici z roku 1528 - v návaznosti na Jeronýmovo svědectví, dle něhož Victorinus "napsal po způsobu dialektikú1...

Shaping of Collective Intelligence in Cyberspace on the Example of Computer Games
Chaloupková, Šárka ; Marcelli, Miroslav (advisor) ; Charvát, Martin (referee)
The aim of the tehesis is to describe the formation of collective intelligence in cyberspace and focus on its use on the example of computer games. The idea is based on the works of Pierre Lévy, who believes that in the digital revolution is the value of the picture one of the most important. In this process plays an equally important role to increase the value of ideas, narratives, social communities and the development of new media tools and technologies. Along with that, in addition to the internal space of videogames (story progression, social interaction, building of the gaming space, gaming subculture, roleplay), shapes even the space beyond the game itself (transmedia storytelling, produsage - fan sites, content sharing, discussion forums). Thesis will be listed by concepts of collective intelligence, the progress of social memory, cyberspace and will be also inspired by other authors who works with collective intelligence, like Henry Jenkins, James Surowiecki or Derrick de Kerckhove. It should also provide an opposite view of the problem based on the work of opponents, which is eg. Cory Doctorow. Strategies and the use of the collective intelligence will be described by using the example of the specific games.
