Poetics of selected dramas from the Krejča's era of the National Theater
Fuksová, Johana ; Smrčka, Jiří (advisor) ; Kubíček, Tomáš (referee)
This bachelor's thesis deals with the motif of everyday life, which came to the fore in the second half of the 1950s, not only for ordinary people, but also for writers, poets and playwrights. In particular, it examines the degree of importance of the motif of everyday life in the plays written for the National Theatre during the period when Otomar Krejča and his "dramaturgical workshop" were active there. For the typological analysis, five plays were selected which premieres took place at the Tyl Theatre in 1958-1963, namely František Hrubín's August Sunday and Crystal Night, Josef Topol's Their Day, František Pavlíček's Match with the Angel and Milan Kundera's The Owners of the Keys. The aim of this thesis is to determine whether the motif of everyday life is what defines the poetics of the original plays written for the National Theatre. KEYWORDS motif of everyday life, Otomar Krejča, František Hrubín, Milan Kundera, Josef Topol, František Pavlíček, drama, National Theatre

Osvobozené divadlo: between lyricism and engagement
Vejšická, Lucie ; Smrčka, Jiří (advisor) ; Neumann, Lukáš (referee)
The presented bachelor thesis focuses on the transformation of the distinctive poetics of Jiří Voskovec and Jan Werich in the Osvobozené divadlo from 1930 to 1936. The starting point for this work is hypothesis of two different creative stages - the first with the dominating elements of apolitical lyricism and the second with the prevailing political and social engagement. The work builds on the analysis and comparison of selected dramatic texts that serve as representative sample of their creation (from the first period Ostrov Dynamit, Sever proti Jihu, Don Juan a comp. and Golem, and from the second period Caesar, Osel a stín, Balada z hadrů and Rub a líc). Based on analysis of dramatic texts by defined subcategories (composition, characters, space-time, anti-illusion devices, scary and violent scenes, expression of engagement in song production and types of engagement), the aim is to define whether the underlying hypothesis appears to be functional and whether enough relevant arguments can be found in the production of Voskovec and Werich. KEYWORDS Osvobozené divadlo, Jiří Voskovec, Jan Werich, engagement

Metamorphoses of the Author's Style in Miroslav Holub's Poetry
Lichtenbergová, Lucie ; Neumann, Lukáš (advisor) ; Smrčka, Jiří (referee)
The bachelor's thesis explores the changes of the author's style in the poetic work of Miroslav Holub. The theoretical part is based mainly on the study of secondary literature, the practical part mainly on the interpretive analysis of individual poems from different periods. Holub is most often associated with the poetry of the everyday, but we are trying to give more comprehensive view of his entire work; especially not forgetting the poetry collections from the seventies to the nineties, from which we draw attention to the metaphor of the theatrum mundi, with which Holub worked in several collections and which is just seldom associated with his poetry. Among the features connecting all of Holub's poetic works, we emphasize the specific projection of the author's second profession as a scientist into his poems, which is characterized, for example, by specific themes and space-time, the use of a specific lexicon, but surprisingly also a special arrangement of verses. We refer to words of Bohumil Svozil who calls those features as intellectual poetry, but at the same time we argue with the opinions of some literary critics claiming that Holub's work is impersonal and devoid of emotions due to its intellectuality. Finally, we also find changing features of the author's style influenced mainly by the...

Bernasová, Natálie ; Smrčka, Jiří (advisor) ; Brožová, Věra (referee)
The thesis focuses on comparison of the Šrámek's and Hrubín's lyrics drama. Its goal is to describe how much different this type of drama of compared authors is. Common and different approaches of these authors are deduced on the basis of selected characteristic features and key motives (motive of love, motives on the edge of fairy tales and myths, motive of death and the end, motive of writer), the role of nature, the role of music and some other components. The thesis builds on analysis and subsequent comparison of six original texts - on Šrámek's Červen (1905), Léto (1915), Měsíc nad řekou (1922), Plačící satyr (1923) and on Hrubín's Srpnová neděle (1958) and Křišťálová noc (1961). Another aim of this thesis is to confirm or refute the hypothesis that between the dramas Léto and Srpnová neděle exists the strongest mutual parallelism. The main source of information about lives of both authors are books written by František Buriánek and Iva Málková. Throughout the thesis are also used various other sources such as theater programs, contemporary critics and reviews. KEYWORDS František Hrubín, Fráňa Šrámek, lyrics drama, Srpnová neděle, Léto
