Lawrence Ferlinghetti: Images of a city
Vlková, Jana ; Quinn, Justin (advisor) ; Ulmanová, Hana (referee)
The thesis provides three distinct perspectives on the representations of urban spaces in poetry of Lawrence Ferlinghetti. While they are dissimilar in terms of poetic style, employed literary devices and concepts and themes they explore, one important aspect is shared: the images of the city serve to discuss themes that transcend the urban domain. Ferlinghetti uses the city as a framework for his reflections on subject matters that have been categorized as follows: intertextuality, memory, critical urban discourse. The first perspective regards the city as a text and an intertext composed of various sorts of texts such as architecture, visual arts, literature, sculpture or music. These texts may enter the relation with the urban text when they are "read" in the context of actual physical location. A juxtaposition of two dissimilar texts may trigger production of new meanings, which has the character of continual process: it is the intertextual flux. As a result, the perception of one or both codes suffers modification; one text contaminates the other. The examples of these influences and interferences between urban and other texts are analyzed on the background of the study of intertextuality in reception and critical theory. The second perspective presents the city as a mnemonic space where both...

The types of intertextuality in the work of František Hrubín
Nedomlelová, Iva ; Mravcová, Marie (advisor) ; Bílek, Petr (referee)
The bachelor thesis studies the types of intertextual relationships in Hrubín's poem Jobova noc (The Night of Job). The theoretical part introduces the work of selected theorists of intertextuality with the aim to present some deeper insights into their thoughts and also to provide critical reflection on them. After a short transition, which develops further thoughts about the chosen interpretative method of intertextual relations, follows the practical part. It's focus lies in the search for evidence and in interpreting of intertextual references in The Night of Job. The goal is to offer a better understanding of a poem which still have had only few interpretations that wouldn't be burdened by the biases originating in the era of 1948.

Representations of "great" (canonically authoritative) texts in contemporary popular culture
PECHOLTOVÁ, Lucie
The thesis focuses on how literary texts of the so called "great tradition" can become parts of contemporary pop culture based on intertextual connections (a wide variety of them from explicit quotation to loose inspiration by the original) with the historical canonical texts, and especially on the changes occurring during such actualization in the narrative categories (storyline, space, time, characters, narrator). The theoretical part defines the concept of adaptation and related terms of intertextuality and intermediality and specifies relevant narrative categories. The analytic part focuses on two literary "giants", William Shakespeare to represent male literary oeuvre and Jane Austen as a representative of female writers' tradition, to show particular narrative modifications by comparing the original versions with their modernized adaptations that function as their pop cultural counterparts.

Did Jan Neruda read Kořínek’s Staré paměti kutnohorské?
Šimek, Štěpán
The article focuses on the hypothesis of the existence of an intertextual relation between Staré pověsti kutnohorské by Kořínek and Povídky malostranské by Neruda, especially in the short story Figurky. The hypothesis is based on the analysis of onomatopoeia expressing pipe of nightingale. The article also reviews literary writings which could have inspired Neruda.

Early reception of Mácha’s "Marinka" in 1830s and 1840s Czech literature
Charypar, Michal
Mácha’s tale "Marinka", which came out as a part of his Obrazy ze života mého (Pictures from My Life, 1834), aroused an unexpectedly emphatic reception not in criticism, but in the Czech literature of the time. Apart from direct allusions (made by František Jaromír Rubeš and Jan Pravoslav Přibík) there are also prose writings which are indirectly yet more deeply for all that inspired by this tale (by Karel Sabina, Jan Jindřich Marek and others). We can observe the path followed by Mácha's inspirational impulse, and the results which he brought about. Intertextual analysis can supply us with new information about the reception of Mácha's text (and the poet himself) and at the same time it inevitably leads to attempts to identify and evaluate the intertextual transfer of individual literary motifs, topics, plot components etc., as a literary phenomenon characteristic not only of the post-Máchian period.
