Ivanova, Anna ; Kosáková, Hana (advisor) ; Ulbrechtová, Helena (referee)
This bachelor thesis aims to compare poems 'The Twelve' by Alexander Blok and 'Christ has risen' by Andrei Bely. These poems share certain similarities: they were both written by the leading Russian symbolist poets, both in 1918, and thus represented a reaction on the current revolutionary events in the country; moreover, they are similar in genre and theme. The thesis further explores those common properties, as well as defines the individual features for each of these poems, based on historical and biographical facts, on the analysis of poetic peculiarities and genre characteristics of these two writings, and on the semantics of their key symbols and imageries.

Woman characters in I. A. Goncharov's works
Slobodová, Dana ; Nykl, Hanuš (advisor) ; Kosáková, Hana (referee)
This paper focuses on the main woman characters in the novels of I. A. Goncharov A Common story, Oblomov and The Precipice. The aim is to analyze relationships between their heroines and other characters and to examine how these relationships subsequently form them. It shows that the attention payed to these processes is at least the same as the attention payed to the male characters (who are formally the main protagonists of the novels) and that they are in no way less interesting. We can also notice apparently repeated schemes, however, in each case they are modified in some way. The author always comes with a slightly different, new approach and thus we can say that although they may look similar from the outside, each Gontcharov's heroine is as unique as the setting which forms her. Keywords: literary characters, woman characters, classical Russian literature, Ivan Goncharov, A Common story, Oblomov, The Precipice

Kosáková, Hana ; Svatoň, Vladimír (advisor) ; Vojvodík, Josef (referee) ; Kubíček, Tomáš (referee)
The present thesis entitled The Aspects of ‚Skaz' (On the B. M. Eikhenbaum's Theory of Literature) concerns with the narrative strategy, which B. Eikhenbaum during the 1th and 2nd decade of the 20th century called ‚skaz'. The scholar offered a concept explaning skaz as the specific narrative form closely connected with the spontaneous verbal praxis. The starting point of my explanation are three Eikhenbaum's studies: The Illusion of Skaz (1918), How Gogol's ‚Overcoat' Is Made (1918) and Leskov and Contemporary Prose (1925). On this material are shown both the constants and the shifts in the outlining of the skaz problematic. The goal of the thesis is to examine Eikhenbaum's concept on the one 128 hand, and to offer the further potential readings and relate the task with the larger field of reflectations on the other hand. The explanation is devided into two parts: whereas the emphasis of the first of them is laid on the theoretical explanation of the problem, the second one deals with the interpretations of certain works of art. Therefore, in the beginning is displayed the context of formalist attitude to the literature as a basis, from which grows Eikhenbaum's own theory. The reception of it is outlined further - it ranges from a glowing reception (within formalism) across the sharp refusal then to further...
