Media reception of the works of Haruki Murakami in Czech and Anglo-American periodicals
Zlámal, Ondřej ; Čeňková, Jana (advisor) ; Maňák, Vratislav (referee)
This diploma thesis entitled Media reception of the works of Haruki Murakami in Czech and Anglo-American periodicals analyzes the critical reflection of three selected novels by the Japanese writer. The Japanese originals of the novels Norwegian Wood (1987), Kafka on the Shore (2002) and Killing Commendatore (2017) were published fifteen years apart and thus cover a significant part of Murakami's literary career. The time gap therefore made it possible to assess the evolution of critical reception. The theoretical chapters focus on literary criticism, as well as narratology based on the work of theorist Seymour Chatman. The practical part includes the analysis of the narative and interpretation of selected works, followed by the analysis of critical articles published in Czech, British and American periodicals. The thesis aims to answer the research questions focusing on the content of the criticism as well as its potential development between older and newer works. The aim of the thesis is to create a comprehensive view of the critical reflection of Murakami's work in Czech and Anglo-American discourse and possible differences between them, based on the reception of selected novels. The diploma thesis is complemented by an interview with the Czech translator of Murakami's works Tomáš Jurkovič, who...

Kryštofová, Vendula ; Čeňková, Jana (advisor) ; Maňák, Vratislav (referee)
Literary reviews have changed considerably in the current fluid era and are still changing. This is due to new media, and especially social networks, where anyone can become a reviewer and professionalism and knowledge of literary scholarship is no longer needed as it used to be. Therefore, this thesis discusses the transformation of literary reviewing in the age of social media by examining the form, congruence and differences of professional reviews in cultural and social periodicals and instagram posts containing book reviews. The aim of this thesis was to find out what similarities or differences there are between reviews written by literary critics and book reviews posted on Instagram by ordinary users. The evaluation was carried out by analysing several professional reviews and several book posts on Instagram on three selected titles, namely Ostrov by Bianca Bell, Mezipřistání by Matej Hořava and Probudím se na Šibuji by Anna Cima, and then comparing these findings. The research section shows how literary critics and Instagram users express themselves in their reviews, what they consider important to convey, what form of review they write, and whether there is a difference in their final rating. Finally, the final findings of the practical section are formulated, including a description of...
