"The victim of one's victim" The process of victimization in William Faulkner's The sound and the fury
Novotná, Ema ; Nováková, Soňa (referee) ; Ulmanová, Hana (advisor)
William Faulkner's The Sound and the Fury was written eighty years ago but is still considered a unique and a remarkable novel. It was published in the "annus mirabilis" (Andrews 251), i.e. the miraculous year of 1929, which introduced literary works of authors who changed the world of literature substantially. Ernest Miller Hemingway's war novel A Farewell to Arms influenced other representatives of one literary generation, i.e. the Lost Generation just as Virginia Woolf's A Room of One's Own and Faulkner's essential novel participated in the genesis of a literary movement: Modernism, or American Modernism, respectively. The difficult structure of Faulkner's The Sound and the Fury did not wait for first interpretations - it was discussed and analyzed the moment it reached the hands of critics, university professors and students. Scholars examined the peculiar specifics of Faulkner's style of writing as well as the tangled web of his meticulously constructed characters and his precisely arranged passages and chapters. Various aspects: his use of madness and sanity, his unique concept of time organized according to psychological rather than linear time, a stream of consciousness narrative, warped heroes, "disruptive female characters" (Roberts, XI) - all seen from the perspective of Faulkner's fictitious...

The relationship of Jan Zábrana´s poetics to his translations of Sylvia Plath
ČERVENÁ, Pavla
Translations of foreign-language form a significant part of every national literature. In the 20th century a theoretician Jiří Levý created a well-developed and compact conception of Czech translation theory, which constitutes methodology of translation, its principles and possibilities. The object of this diploma thesis, with a title of ``The relationship of Jan Zábrana´s poetics to his translations of Sylvia Plath{\crqq}, is to find out to what measure the translation can change the original work; thereupon what way (if any) is the poetry and poetics of Jan Zábrana changed by the translation of Sylvia Plath. The selective Slovak translation of Mila Haugová was also considered. This diploma thesis also contains biographies and bibliographies of both, Jan Zábrana and Sylvia Plath.

It analyses a complexity of relationship between the European civilisation and its counterparts which are classified as other or different.

Ivan Slavík - essayist and journalist
Bláhová, Jitka ; Kořená, Markéta (referee) ; Wiendl, Jan (advisor)
Jméno Ivana Slavíka jev širším čtenářském okruhu téměř neznámé. Pokud tu existuje představa o jeho díle, týká se Slavíkovy katolicky orientované poezie. Pravděpodobně je to dáno tím, že ve středoškolských porevolučních učebnicích literatury se jeho jméno objevuje pouze zřídka (v období totality jeho dílo v učebnicích reflektováno nebylo). Jeho esejistická a publicistická činnost je takřka neznámá; domnívám se, že hlavním důvodem je charakter periodik a sborníků, do nichž Slavík přispíval: většinou se jednalo o okrajové a regionální noviny (spolupráce s významnějšími periodiky, stoj ícími v centru kulturního a společenského dění, mu byla totalitním režimem znemožněna) . Cílem mé diplomové práce je zmapování Slavíkova původního ne-básnického díla: chronologické uspořádání jeho předmluv, doslovů a publicistických statí nejrůznějších žánrů a zaměření. Dílčí kapitoly práce jsou sondami do jednotlivých desetiletí, v nichž Slavík svou ne -básnickou činnost rozvíj el, počínaj e 4 O . léty. Léta 60. a 70. jsou zaměřením Slavíkovy tvorby úzce propojena; z důvodu zachování maximální soudržnosti tématu tvoří společnou kapitolu. Zároveň jsem se ve své práci pokusila sledovat a zaznamenat tendence a tematické okruhy, kterými se autor zabývá a které jsou typické pro dané období jeho tvorby. Ze společenskopolitických...
