"Who watches watchmen?" The role of (super) heroes in comic books of Alan Moore
 BARTOŇOVÁ, Tereza
The bachelor thesis "Who watches the watchmen?" The role of (super) heroes in the comic books of Alan Moore is engaged in analysis of books of Alan Moore, a prominent comic-book writer, his specific production and its impact on the evolution of comic genre. The thesis is divided into three chapters. In the first chapter I have tried to approach the basic terms and outline the function of the comics narration. The second and third chapters contain detailed analysis of particular Alan Moore´s comic books. In the second chapter is the chronological survey of Moore?s production that is also divided into parts according to changes in author?s style. There are also descriptions and defined classic comic-book superheros in this chapter and put in antithesis to Moore?s first two books: Killing Joke and Superman: What Happened to the Man of Tomorrow?. The particular motifs connecting his works are mentioned in the third chapter. The outcome of the thesis contains a summary of my opinions, the motifs common for the books of Alan Moore and emphasis of his importance in the comic genre evolution.

Fantasy - Theory of the Genre and its Educative Aspects
 HOKR, Boris
This diploma thesis deals with fantasy literature in both, national and international contexts, as well as with its didactical possessions. Its aim is to prove that this genre has, apart from its history and a recognized place in the domain of literature, a cognitive value to enhance the readers in terms of aesthetics, knowledge, experience and emotions. A second aim of the thesis is to describe the position of fantasy in so-called ``speculative fiction{\crq}q. The first part of the work allows its readers to understand the term ``Fantasy``. It also provides them with history of the genre and its nowadays´ subdivision. In the subsequent chapters the fantasy is presented as a genre able to adapt to fields not necessarily linked to contemporary literature, such as source of knowledge and understanding in lives of young people. A more detailed approach to the Czech form of the genre is also provided with emphasis to common and opposite aspects of it in comparison with the world fantasy (mostly Anglo-American). The didactical potential is underlined in appropriate paragraphs. The 4th and 6thchapters are then fully dedicated to the didactical potential. The last chapter presents results of research work focused on fantasy.
