When the text speaks: orality in the literary work of Juan Rulfo
Klimtová, Natálie ; Kazmar, Vít (advisor) ; Poláková, Dora (referee)
This thesis focuses on the influence and presence of orality in the books Llano in Flames and Pedro Páramo by the Mexican author Juan Rulfo. The influence is sought in the narrative structure of Rulfo's books and in the language of the characters he created. In addition, it focuses on the importance of noticing the sounds that permeate the books. The sounds are depicted in such a way that the text gives the reader the feeling that they are actually listening to them. The aim of this thesis is to subject the short stories and the novel to literary analyses and to observe how the author works with sounds at the level of language, but also in individual "sound" motifs. The thesis is divided into two imaginative parts; the first offers both an insight into the author's life and returns to the very beginnings of narrative, to the world of primarily oral cultures, while the second part consists of two separate analyses of Rulfo's books. In the case of the short stories, the primary focus is on the language and narrative discourse of the stories, since it is the language of the characters that is most strongly influenced by the oral tradition. In the chapter devoted to the novel, the focus is on the function of silence and sounds, which occupy an important role in the novel. Key words: Juan Rulfo, Pedro...

The motive of death in Nezahalcóyotl's poetry
Šťastná, Maria ; Kazmar, Vít (advisor) ; Filová, Miroslava (referee)
Theme of death in Nezahualcóyotl's poetry Death always had a special meaning in Mesoamerica. The local view of this theme has undergone a great change over the centuries, especially after the Spanish conquered the continent. The best known author of Nahua chants is Nezahualcóyotl. His texts are still the subject of research and interpretation. The aim of this work is to characterize the motif of death which is frequent in Nezahualcóyotl's poetry. It focuses on the development of his thoughts on death and on important elements closely related to death as the finality of life, the Giver of Life (the deity) and the afterlife. The poetry is interpreted based on Miguel Leon Portilla's Spanish translations of Nezahualcóyotl's poetry. The analysis of Nezahualcóyotl's texts leads to the conclusion that the fear from which the monarch suffered did not primarily originate from the process of dying and finitude, but from the afterlife, about which he admitted through metaphors and questions, that he knew nothing. In his search for a way to endure on Earth, he came to the conclusion that the most important was to be remembered through the poetry of "flower and song," which came from the Giver of Life.
