The Female Nude in Paintings at the Beginning of the Modern Age in Over-Alps
KLIMTOVÁ, Eva
This bachelor work The Female Nude in Paintings at the Beginning of the Modern Age in Over - Alps deals with the artistic canon portrayal of women from antiquity to the Baroque. I focus on paintings of mannerist painter Hans von Aachen, who with his works brings significant innovation against the established acts iconography. My intention is to refute the traditional perception of female act models as prostitutes and point out to the fact that in this genre, there are also paints of women from higher social strata. The main emphasis is placed on the identification of the persons portrayed, the artist's family members, primarily for the wife of H. von Aachen, Regina di Lasso. Pictures of the acts are divided by themes into two sections. The first category includes genre paintings of private character. Mythologies and allegories intended for the Emperor Rudolf II. Hasburg are listed in the second part. The aim of this work is to explain the display of acts of married women - wives of artists - in the Mannerist art who with their presence in the paintings and their undisguised identity openly contrast with the ideal of Christian exemplary wife, as it was formulated by the contemporary moral literature.

The architecture of Brno from 1990 in relation to the architecture of the interwar period
Ševčíková, Lucie ; Biegel, Richard (advisor) ; Macek, Petr (referee)
The primarary theme of this essay is to find and define relationship between the architecture scene after the year of 1990 and the period between the two world wars in Brno. The main purpose is then to find whether Brno established its own architectonic tradition and style in the 1920s and 1930s, and if so whether the tradition is prominent to this day and how. This essay does not follow a timeline, bbut begins with describing the revolutionary era in 1989. First it is described what was happening in Czech respectively in Brno's architecture in the years from 1945 to 1989, followed by the events of the revolutionary year of 1989 and how it shaped up and influnced the years there after. The second chapter will take us back to the era in between the two World Wars and describe how the architecture and the city itself changed. The term 'funcionalism in Brno' is described in this chapter by showing few examples of buildings and architecs. This will directly shed a light and point out how this established tradition translates to the philosphy of modern generation. Six buildings were chosen to portray how the style of 1920s and 1930s relates to style of today.

The Neo-Victorian novel: contemporary trend in British fiction
Szilágyiová, Ester ; Nováková, Soňa (advisor) ; Beran, Zdeněk (referee)
In 1966 when Jean Rhys wrote Wide Saragasso Sea no one would have guessed that she was starting a new literary movement whose very essence dwelled in re-thinking and rewriting Victorian myths and stories which Sally Shuttleworth named the retro-Victorian novel1. As a matter of fact, John Fowles's The French Lieutenant's Woman published in 1969, brought to public attention the parody of Victorian social, sexual and literary conventions2 but it was really in the 1980's and 1990's that many British novelists rekindled the great Victorian tradition.3 Retro- or neo-Victorian novels take up themes, motives, characters - which are either factual, as in Peter Ackroyd's Last Testament of Oscar Wilde, or fictitious, as in George McDonald Fraser's Flashman series. Neo-Victorian novels imitate texts from the Victorian era and in most cases they follow the Victorian narratives structurally, formally and/or thematically.4 These contemporary rewrites of the Victorian texts also seem to imitate the average physical length of Victorian novels in as much as they are often very hefty tomes indeed, something which may be problematic for many readers in the bit/byte generation. Structurally, in most cases the texts are divided into books or chapters, sometimes preceded by chapter summaries or epigraphs. They imitate the most...

The illusive world. Dreaming and seeming in selected modern texts
Izdná, Petra ; Pokorný, Martin (advisor) ; Vojvodík, Josef (referee)
The thesis aims at the interpretation of the several Early Modern literature masterpieces through the theme of the illusive world. The literary comparison of such diverse works as William Shakespeares romances, Calderóns play and allegorical novels of Comenius or Baltasar Gracián unveils some common features. The analysis of numerous motives of dreaming and deception and of the traditional topoi "life is a dream" and "the world is a theatre" illustrates the feelings of delusion and insecurity as well as a spiritual desire for the transcendence at the Baroque period.

The Role of Family Carers in the Nursing Home for Persons with Cognitive Impairment
Kastlová, Barbora ; Holmerová, Iva (advisor) ; Tollarová, Blanka (referee)
Thesis subject: The Role of Family Carers in the Nursing Home for Persons with Cognitive Impairment. The theme of this thesis is the role of the family carers in the nursing home for persons with cognitive impairment. This topic is very actual due to the aging of society and to the increasing of life expectancy. A proportion of the old people in society increases but in the same time there is a decreasing number of people who could take care of them at home (due to negative population balance, disintegration of traditional family, economic situation and high requirements of the care etc.). Many seniors who are depending on the help of the others (such as people with dementia) spend their old age in institutional care. The qualitative research in this thesis shows that families continue in caregiving even after the admission of their relatives to a nursing home. The aim of this research was to describe the involvement of families in the institutional care and to identify factors that influence this phenomenon. Research was conducted in one nursing home for persons with cognitive impairment. Semistructured interviews were conducted with a sample of informants consisting of five professional nurses and four family carers. The analysis of data was carried out using the grounded theory. Research...
