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...

Fairy Tales in French Language Teaching
Stolínová, Markéta ; Klinka, Tomáš (advisor) ; Fučíková, Milena (referee)
This diploma thesis deals with the topic of fairy tales in French language teaching. The first part is dedicated to the definition of fairy tales as literary texts and to the presentation of general aspects related to the use of literary forms in foreign language teaching. The subsequent parts are focused exclusively on fairy tales. First of all, the fairytale genre is generally introduced. Afterwards, several ways of the application of fairy tales in French classes are outlined, with regard to the focus on language skills and sub-skills. The practical part includes more subsections, however, it mainly aims at the analysis of the role of fairy tales in French language teaching in the Czech Republic. Therefore, it consists of the analysis of significant French textbooks and of a questionnaire survey aimed at Czech lower secondary and high school teachers. The textbook analysis verifies the presence of fairy tales in didactic materials, whereas the aforementioned survey examines the experience and opinions of foreign language teachers on this issue. Finally, three worksheets, based on recently acquired knowledge, are created to serve as the source of inspiration and motivation for the use of fairy tales in foreign language teaching.

The female characters in the work of George Sand
Jarošová, Antonie ; Listíková, Renáta (advisor) ; Fučíková, Milena (referee)
This thesis is concerned with an important persone of the first half of the 19th century, French writer George Sand. The main purpose of the thesis is to reveal whether the writer is one of the key authors of French romanticism in Czech schools and whether the Czech schoolchild has an opportunity to acquaint themselves with her rural novels. The thesis contains a theoretical and a practical part. The practical part briefly mentions her biography, gives an overview of the main periods of her work and is subsequently closely concerned with George Sand's rural novels. Since Sand creates an image of an ideal human being in her rural novels, in our analysis of these novels we focused on the characteristics of the main characters and on the realistic and idealistic elements present in the novels. In the end of the theoretical part we dealt with Sand's influence on Czech writers of the 19th century, especially on Božena Němcová and Karolína Světlá. The practical part is based on a research, which was conducted in selected Czech schools (in Pilsen area and Prague). The aim of this research was, as has been mentioned before, to chart the standing of George Sand in the curriculum of world literature. We found out that Sand no longer ranks among the canonical authors, to whom is the teaching of world...

Cyclical Conflicts in Life and a Half
Nguyen, Mai Chi ; Šarše, Vojtěch (advisor) ; Fučíková, Milena (referee)
This bacherlor's thesis focuses on the novel Life and a Half by Sony Labou Tansi, in which the narrator illustrates the cycle of tyrannical power set in the fictional African country of Katamalanasia. The Providential Guide, the dictator in this magical realist novel, is opposed by the rebel Martial and his daughter Chaïdana: these main characters struggle against each other throughout the novel, returning to life after death in order to relaunch the conflict between the authoritative power and its opposition. The novel's plot therefore consists of a cycle of recurring dictatorship, constantly threatened by rebellion. By analysing the ways in which the novel presents the attempts at rupturing the tyrannical cycle, as well as the meaning of these attempts' failures, the thesis aims to show the extent to which this vicious cycle of dictatorship is resolved. Key Words: magical realism, postcolonialism, temporality, dictatorship, Congolese literature
