The Character of Water Sprite in Czech Literature of the 19th Century
Fričová, Lenka ; Vaněk, Václav (advisor) ; Heczková, Libuše (referee)
This work has an analytical-interpretative character. The analytical part contains an analysis of individual pieces of czech literature of the 19th century and folk stories which contain the water-spirit character. There is also a brief introduction of the method. The character and look of a water-spirit is analysed according to the theory of a literary character by Daniela Hodrová or Bohumil Fořt. The interpretative part looks on the problematics of a water-sprite as on a relationship between a male and female characters. The suggested options of an interpretation are merged using a psychoanalytic approach.

Phenomenom analysis of internet videoclips as a cause of cyber-bullying
Janáček, Tomáš ; Wolák, Radim (advisor) ; Jirků, Jan (referee)
The work relates to the increasingly frequent cases of attacks on young people who act in their own videos, which are becoming the social network phenomenon. Young people are presented through a variety of audiovisual contents which is then aggressively attacked and massively shared. This paper seeks the causes of such behavior of recipients. In the first part I describe the context in which videos are produced, what is the impact and response. I refer to the reaction of media and ordinary Internet users. In the analytical part I use different tools through which I try to penetrate deeper into the structure of those videos, find out what fail and try to reveal where is the cause of fascination and motivation to aggressive incursions. I watch mainly symptomatic scope of these videos and looking how it relates to society and ideology. I analyze videos primarily in terms of neoformalistic analysis, semiology, mythology,cultural studies, feminist theory and psychoanalysis. Through these methods I discover latent dimensions that video clips can possibly contain. The study focuses only on videos in which appearing young girls. One of the objectives of this study is to identify precisely the possible influence of gender and how the reception is motivated by sexuality.

A critical rewiew of psychoanalytic approaches to Greek religion
Maľová, Anna ; Chlup, Radek (advisor) ; Halík, Tomáš (referee)
Two psychoanalytic interpretations are subjected to scrutiny in this thesis. Richard Caldwell, the author of the first interpretation, presents psychoanalytic interpretation of Greek theogonic myths in his book The Origin of the Gods. The Greek family and its influence on Greek myths is subject of the second interpretation presented in the work The Glory of Hera by Philip E. Slater. While Caldwell prefers classical psychoana- lysis Slater is interested in specific schema of the Greek family which he of course in- terprets psychoanalytically. Key words: psychoanalysis, Greek mythology, Greek gods, Greek religion, psy- choanalytic interpretations.

Neo-Marxism and psychoanalysis as a source and inspiration of Frankfurt School
ŠACHLOVÁ, Tereza
In my thesis I will pursue the ideological foundations of the Frankfurt School, a significant social philosophical group of the 20th century. Marxist and psychoanalytic basis will be reflected in conjunction with a critical theory of society and a phenomenon of culture industry. The purpose of this work is to present influences which formed a theoretical work of the Frankfurt School, its research in a modern society and a contribution to the so-called commodification of culture and art related to the expansion of mass culture.

Media influence on deepening forms of consuming behavior
MÁLEK, Ondřej
This thesis aims to discover whether there is a link (causal nexus) between consumer behaviour and mass-media. The whole thesis in divided in two main parts. First part is about a theory that is trying to describe how is mankind shaped (or formed) by the media institutions. Not only that media intensifies the cultural patterns, through which we learn to conceptualize and decode the world in which we live in as well as we are getting socialized through them and we learn to accept our social roles cultural function of media but also media figure in their ideological function, specifically media texts such as pop-culture and advertisement, which provide constant means of production. For deconstructing of these media texts is used the work of Roland Barthese: Mythology. It is based on linguistic theories of Ferdinand de Saussure, which breaks the plane of the character in the two other members, which is the identifier and the identified (the signifier and the signified). Barthes this basic structure enriches by so called Secondary semiological system that preys on the basic symbolic structure and original characters, fully acquired sense, writes in an entirely new formations, thereby gaining their ideological nature. The second part of the thesis is focused on the subject and how it is to relate to others and to the world. Here is the attempt to reveal "weak" points in subjective territory into which penetrates the ideology and are subsequently reconstructed so in can be reculturelized. This preview is naturally adapted to the reculturelization and do not claim to universal validity, although some psychological components remain largely unchanged. Nevertheless, a quite extraordinary nature of ideological formation which we are part of must be taken into acccount and some aspects of which do not yet have their historical predecessors.

Crime novels or psychological prose? Judith W. Taschler's Sommer wie Winter and Die Deutschlehrerin.
BEYEROVÁ, Václava
The topic of this bachelor thesis is a literary analysis of books Sommer wie Winter and Die Deutschlehrerin written by Judith W. Taschler, the contemporary Austrian author. One of the essential questions, to which the thesis searches for an answer, is the genre classification of the above-mentioned books. It means whether they have basic features and characterization of a criminal novel or if they are considered a psychological prose. Besides the genre classification of the novels and their structural and content analysis, the work brings a comparison in the broader literary-historical context: It finds a certain affinity of the works, which were examined, with the literary movement named Anti-Heimatliteratur. There are some other parallels in development of Austrian literature, e.g. the use of psychoanalysis in the novel Sommer wie Winter or in the novel Malina by Ingeborg Bachmann.
