Women's emancipation in Dangerous Liaisons by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos
Rumpíková, Michaela ; Fučíková, Milena (advisor) ; Listíková, Renáta (referee)
The aim of this bachelor thesis is to scrutinize, through a detailed literary and sociological analysis, the theme of women's emancipation featuring in the epistolary novel, Dangerous Liaisons, by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos. This work will principally concentrate on the question of female identity of the three characters, Cecile, Tourvel and Merteuil, in the context of the Enlightenment. We will examine the text by taking into consideration two contrasting approaches, traditional and contemporary, in order to demonstrate the ambiguity of the interpretation. We will attempt to characterize the female protagonists and consequently categorize them on the bases of contextual typology of characters. Simultaneously on the poetic and narrative level, we will attempt to exemplify their emancipatory attempts examining the heroines in connection with their female identity and philosophical conception of the Enlightenment about humanity. Having analysed their portrayals, it will be observed how the novel offers an eventual feminist reading while referring to the possibility of women's emancipation. Ultimately, we will reach the conclusion that Laclos has created a quasi- complete spectrum of female characters interpreted as representing the topos of heroine fatale and through a more contemporary reading, they...

Translation and study of Crépuscules by Joël Casséus
Štencová, Linda ; Fučíková, Milena (advisor) ; Listíková, Renáta (referee)
This diploma thesis on Commented Translation of Joël Casséus' Crépuscules consists of translation of the first three chapters of the Quebec novel Crépuscules into the Czech language and subsequent expert commentary. This commentary focuses on the analysis of the novel genre that balances science fiction and modern myth, as well as the Christiane Nord analysis of the original text through which it explores external factors such as author, reader, intention, text function or its motive and intra-text factors such as theme and content, composition, nonverbal components, lexicon, syntax, and suprasegmental phenomena. Subsequently, in the commentary, we deal with translation problems, their solutions and applied translation procedures such as transposition, modification, compensation, generalization or specification.

Albert CAMUS and Kamel DAOUD
Štancl, Martin ; Fučíková, Milena (advisor) ; Šarše, Vojtěch (referee)
The thesis analyses novels l'Étranger and Meursault, contre-enquête, which represent an example of literary dialogue reflecting problems associated with postcolonial society. The comparison of texts shows changes made by Kamel Daoud and the shifting values taking place in this transformation. Emphasis is placed on the characters, and especially on the onomastic system, to illustrate the main difference in the message of selected novels. The introduction focuses on contradictory public perception of writers and their native country, Algeria. The main part compares semantic differences of these two books. To strengthen the comparison, the word frequency analysis has been used and it showed important disproportions between both texts. The conclusion discusses the crucial role of language, which in both cases is divided into two contradictory categories that are the source of certain tension. The result of this work is an interpretation of Daoud's work, in which the possibilities of new interpretations of Camus's work also appear, partly thanks to the comparison with texts written by important postcolonial theoreticians. The issue of searching for identity, presented in the literature since time immemorial, derives from the contact of two different cultures and occupies a significant place in Daoud's...

First, the author presents the definition of fairy tale (Vladimir Yakovlevič Propp, Karel Čapek), which is defined from the point of view of different theories. This thesis covers only the characters from folklore fairy tales, therefore the folklore fairy tale will be shortly defined as well. The thesis also analyses the differences of the behaviour and the portrait of the characters appearing in thematically similar fairy tales. At the end, the author creates a summary of all achieved knowledge and the final generalized comparison of the fairy tale characters. key words: fairy tale characters, folklore fairy tale, Charles Perrault, Marie-Catherine d'Aulnoy, Božena Němcová, Karel Jaromír Erben, brothers Grimm, Vladimir Jakovlevič Propp, Karel Čapek, attributes of characters, morphology of fairy tale, Finnish school, folklore, function
