Fairy tale as a phenomenon (comparative reading of fairy tales)
Vrtbovská, Petra ; Svatoň, Vladimír (advisor) ; Kratochvíl, Zdeněk (referee) ; Hrbata, Zdeněk (referee)
Naším hlavním tématem je však porozumění obsahu a významu kouzelné pohádky a objevování příčin shody pohádek vyskytujících se v mnoha geograficky i kulturně vzdálených zemích světa. Hledání odpovědi na otázku: O čem je kouzelná pohádka je společným jmenovatelem všech kapitol. Východiskem byla jednoduchá hypotéza: Pohádka (možná) vypovídá o hlubokých základních lidských zkušenostech a existenciálních situacích. Je však třeba pátrat po tom, jestli se zakládá na pravdě a o jaké lidské zkušenosti a existenciální situace se jedná. Zároveň je pohádka (možná) živým prostředníkem interakce mezi dospělými a také mezi dospělými a dětmi, která pomáhá sdílet základní lidské zkušenosti. Vyprávění a společné prožívání pohádky je autentickým rituálem sdílení hlubokých pravd.

Through war to discoveries. Denon’s road to art
Hrbata, Zdeněk
This paper analyses the key discourse levels in Voyage dans la Basse et la Haute Égypte, a book by Vivant Denon, a member of the society of scholars and artists that accompanied Napoleon’s military expedition to Egypt. From May 1798 to October 1799 Denon wrote a chronologically incomplete chronicle of the Egyptian campaign, including battles, encounters, pursuits, the horrors of war and the extreme conditions, a chronicle that is concurrently a travelogue journal with the customary topics (inhabitants, mores and customs) and an epic structure (the voyage, obstacles, wanderings and struggles). Moreover, as the author looks around ebes, Luxor, Denderah (Tyntiris) and Aswan, he colourfully and enthusiastically relates the discovery of Egypt, carefully describing and tirelessly drawing. The variety of discourses in Denon’s Travels (e.g. the discourse of war and its heroization, as well as its cruel aspect; the discourse of discoveries and emerging Egyptology; travelogue discourse) gradually takes on the form of the rivalry and conflict of different times.

The chariot of Thespis
Hrbata, Zdeněk
The analysis of the Gautier´s famous novel Captain Fracasse is governed by principles of historical poetics, i. e. by taking into account the presence of generic and discursive models or their elements distributed in the novel´s structure (like roman comique, theatricality, novel od adventure, journey topos).

The subject in articulo mortis and face to face with nature
Hrbata, Zdeněk
The article first discusses the positive (e.g. William Wordsworth, Novalis, Victor Hugo) and the negative (Alfred de Vigny, Giacomo Leopardi) conceptions of nature in the Romantic epoch, as well as pointing out their principal objects: the being of the universe and the appearance of landscape. With regard to this background, it compares situations and reflections of the prisoner or the convict condemned to death in the works of George Gordon Byron (The Prisoner of Chillon, 1816), Victor Hugo (Le Dernier Jour d'un Condamné, 1829, Quatre vingt-treize, 1874) and Karel Hynek Mácha (Máj, 1836). It analyses the tragic separation between final existence and renewable nature, indifferent to human destiny.

Resonances of Mácha. Fourth Congress of World Czech Literary Studies: Other Czech Literature (?)
Piorecký, Karel ; Křivánek, Vladimír ; Charypar, Michal ; Fořt, Bohumil ; Hrbata, Zdeněk ; Ibrahim, Robert ; Koten, Jiří ; Sládek, Ondřej ; Sgallová, K. ; Šerlaimova, S. ; Berkes, T. ; Budagova, L. ; Čolakova, Ž. ; Galmiche, X. ; Grigorov, D. ; Melnyčenko, I. ; Procházka, M. ; Valcerová, A.
Arranged every five years at the initiative of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic Institute of Czech Literature, the congress brought together some 150 researchers from all over the world this year. Discussions over “otherness” in Czech literature were divided into four subject areas. In view of the anniversary of Karel Hynek Mácha’s birth in 2010, one of the proceedings was called Resonances of Mácha. The studies included in this collection focus primarily on the work of poets and prose writers whose work forms part of Mácha’s legacy and derives inspiration from him. Another way to understand the importance of Mácha’s work is offered by contributions that place it in the context of European and particularly Central European romanticism. The opportunity also presents itself to consider the influence of interpretations of his texts on the formation of Prague literary studies structuralism.
