Nováková, Lucie ; Kupcová, Helena (advisor) ; Sládek, Miloš (referee)
The aim of my bachelor thesis is to analyze the first work of a contemporary British author Ian McEwan, The Cement Garden and to present its wide influence on art. To achieve my intention, I have focused on analyzing the play performed by Švandovo divadlo. The analysis is based on crucial events, such as the death of the father, the perish of the mother and her burial and final incestuous scene. Each moment has been closely examined so that one may understand the process of adaptation. The explanation of an adaptation process has been provided to support my claims. An opening chapter delves on the life and work of Ian McEwan, mentioning The Cement Garden which historical context is provided and on the remark regarding an evolutional process of literary work which is concerned with child protagonists. Author's inspirations and motives are also mentioned. Second chapter not only closely analyzes the novel and the crucial events, but also focuses on formal requirements, such as the narrator or the setting. Meanwhile the next chapter considers the theater adaptation and its accomplishments and downfalls. Brief explanation of possible adjustments is provided as is the difference between the prosaic text and the script. Final part is dedicated to the movie adaptation by Andrew Birkin. Unlike the previous...

Motifs of Death in Baroque Poetry and their Overlapping
Janečková, Vendula ; Havelka, Tomáš (advisor) ; Sládek, Miloš (referee)
Moje diplomová práce nese název Motivy smrti v barokní poezii, s podtitulem Interpretace motivu smrti a zmaru ve vybraných dílech barokní literatury. Zamerila jsem se na barokní funerální lyriku a pokusila se na vybraných dílech manifestovat hlavní znaky tohoto druhu poezie. Hledala jsem nejcastejší motivy související se smrtí a umíráním, tedy motivy a pocity zmaru, marnosti, zásvetí, dále pak s tím související touhy po nebeském živote a s tím spjaté pocity strachu tehdejších lidí, strachu z utrpení a pekelných muk. Barokní autori jsou ve svých líceních velice naturalistictí. Velice barvite popisují muka, která na cloveka cekají, jestliže nežije v souladu s božími zákony. Nesmíme zapomínat také na to, že texty byly doplnovány i obrazovými cykly a hudební složkou, takže útocení na všechny smysly bylo komplexní. Vycházela jsem z Generacní periodizace ceského baroka, studie, jejímž autorem je V. Cerný. Je nutné si uvedomit, že nemužeme vnímat baroko jako celistvý celek, je nutné od sebe urcitá období vydelit. V. Cerný uvádí, že trvá-li napríklad naše baroko približne od roku 1620 do roku 1740, uplatní se v jeho procesu prinejmenším pet postupných lidských pokolení, a každé je jiné a poslední se jiste velmi nepodobá prvnímu; všechny sdílejí jistý spolecný fond názoru a stanovisek, citových vznetu a reakcí,...

The Education of Childern and Parents in The Broadside Ballads and Sermons of The Early Modern Period
Baloghová, Eliška ; Sládek, Miloš (advisor) ; Havelka, Tomáš (referee)
The thesis is focused on the questions of education of children and their parents by the broadside ballads and sermons in the time after the battle of "Bílá hora" (after the year 1620). It examines the way in which the ideal relationship of children and parents is presented, by whom or what are the relationships influenced and of what importance is God in the families and lives of the early modern people. The thesis describes the similarities and differences of the stated genres in both content and form. Through study and analysis of sources, the thesis attempts to describe two aspects of education: how the proper education should proceed and how the authors of broadside ballads and sermons try to influence and educate both the children and their parents. It describes the means of both genres and possible influences on the community. Other subjects dealt with in the thesis are: the children's and parents' misdeeds and punishment, women's status, the most common "exempla" (examples provided in sermons) and the most frequent rhetorical and linguistic means appearing in the discussed literary works.

Comparison of Kronika česká by Václav Hájek z Libočan and Poselkyně starých příběhů českých by Jan František Beckovský
Koucká, Vladimíra ; Sládek, Miloš (advisor) ; Havelka, Tomáš (referee)
This thesis compares two chronicles - Kronika česká by Václav Hájek z Libočan and first part of Poselkyně starých příběhů českých by Jan František Beckovský. The comparison showed that both texts (especially in the second part) are very different in their content and manner of processing. Chroniclers supported their narration by many sources of different nature. J. F. Beckovský corrected Hajek's errors, if he had other sources. He interspersed his chronicle with number of documents and own experience he gained while traveling. The authors differ mainly in the content of chronicles. J. F. Beckovský deleted almost all the messages that relate to events abroad and retains only those that are linked to events in the Czech Kingdom. Further differences can be seen in the concept of historical figures, such as Boleslav I., Jan Hus or Jiří z Poděbrad. At the ideological site V. Hájek accented against-town and catholic tendencies. These tendencies are not confirmed in my research. V. Hájek opposes all those who (according to him) disturb peace in the country - against the Germans, Jews and Lutheran priests. Furtermore, in conjunction with these chronicles commonly talked about their Catholic spirit and hatred and anti-Hussite attitude. However V. Hájek assumed an attitude to Jan Hus and Jeroným quite...

Georg Barthold Pontanus of Breitenberg and his funeral orations as a historical source
Daňková, Tereza ; Hojda, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Sládek, Miloš (referee)
Funeral orations, as a literary genre on the boundary between written and verbal communication, experienced a resurrection in the Czech Republic during the 1990s as part of a reawakening of interest in Czech Baroque literature and culture and associated literary genres pertaining to the subject of death. In seeking the origins of this literary form one must go much farther back than the beginning of the modern era. Literary tributes to the dead have deep roots in European culture, originating already during ancient times. The textual construction of funeral orations in the early modern era was based on the classical form known from the ancient orators Menander and Dionysius of Halicarnassus. During the period around 1500 the development of this homiletic genre was influenced by two factors. The first was the invention of printing, which already in the late fifteenth century led to publication and dissemination of speeches, and thus of course to a rise in their level of dignity and their didactic function. At the same time, with the arrival of the Lutheran reformation came a new manner of perceiving life after death, the fundamental change lying in a different conception of salvation, purgatory, and the associated activities of those surviving the deceased. The purpose of this study is above all to...
