The Rebelling Material. Jiří Weil's 1920s Journalism and his Doctoral Thesis as a Revolutionary Gesture
Kittlová, Markéta ; Heczková, Libuše (advisor) ; Bauer, Michal (referee) ; Merhaut, Luboš (referee)
This Ph.D. thesis deals with Jiří Weil's affinity with the Russian revolutionary, avant-garde culture and studies the ways the affinity manifested itself in the author's journalism and dissertation. It focuses on various realizations of the revolutionary gesture which Weil's activities linked to the Russian revolutionary culture are accompanied by as well as on the discordance associated with the gesture. Weil's activities are examined from a "rebelling material" point of view defined, following on Bohumil Mathesius' observation, as a conflict between ideology and intuition that is characteristic of Weil's work. The manifestations of the conflict became the focus of the comparative analyses based on the research material consisting of the selected Weil's 1920s and, occasionally, 1930s journalist texts and his dissertation defended in 1928 under the title "Gogol and the 18th Century English Novel" at Faculty of Arts, Charles University in Prague.

.The Truth Needs a Body. The Broken Mirror of Modernity in theWork of Jiří Karásek ze Lvovic
Sirovátka, Štěpán ; Vojvodík, Josef (advisor) ; Merhaut, Luboš (referee) ; Kolařík, Karel (referee)
The dissertation deals with decadent poetics from the point of view of the so-called "macromodern" (inspired by the collection of Silvio Vietta and Dirk Kemper Ästhetische Moderne in Europa, based on the historical concept of "longue durée" by the French historian Fernando Braudel). The phenomena of modernism or modern poetics are treated with regard to continuity with the whole modernization process and the Enlightenment project. The modernization process is divided into "rational modernity" (Enlightenment science, positivism) and "aesthetic modernity" (modern art from German Romanticism around 1800 and dating back to postmodernism), where the latter one creates a critical corrective to the rational modernity, and thus creates the "broken mirror" of modernity. The work is based on Adornoʼs conception of the dialectic of the Enlightenment and negative dialectics, but also on other post-Kantian philosophers, such as Husserl, Bergson, Deleuze or Patočka. The dissertation deals with the whole work of Jiří Karásek ze Lvovic in terms of a specific, partial "micromodern" implementation of this process, i.e. the Czech decadence. In this context, his reception of "anti-enlightenment" phenomena is examined, such as the phenomenon of corporeality and affectivity, Baroque mysticism (Theresa of Avila or John...

The Manipulation of Character and Reader in Selected Works of Czech Fiction
Balcárková, Tereza ; Holý, Jiří (advisor) ; Merhaut, Luboš (referee)
The bachelor's thesis will focus on four works of Czech literature, in which the specific narrative strategy of the narrator (or the author) manifests itself as unreliable. These are Karel Čapek's short story Šlépěj (first published in book form in 1917 in Boží muka), Richard Weiner's short story Prázdná židle (first published in 1919 in the book Škleb), Ladislav Fuchs's novel Myši Natálie Mooshabrové (first published in 1971) and Milan Kundera's novel Nesmrtelnost (first published in French in 1990, in Czech in 1993). The difference in the historical context of the creation of these works allows for a deeper comparison of the different modes of the "reliable" and "unreliable" narrator.
Poet Irma Geissslová: Private and public
Pohlová, Anna ; Heczková, Libuše (advisor) ; Merhaut, Luboš (referee)
This bachelors thesis looks at the work of Irma Geisslová through the lens of dichotomy "public" vs. "private". The theoretical section defines those essential terms, "public" and "private", and then extends the dichotomy with third term, "intimate". The theoretical section then introduces two specific subgenres of the diary, poetic diary and journal intime. Second part of the thesis aims to create two portraits of Geisslová's work, public and private, which are followed by analysis of Geisslová's intimate diary from 1896. The analysis focuses on composition, themes and motifs of the diary. The diary is unique in its monothemacity, to which all the motifs are subordinated to. Additionally, although the diary is mostly isolated from other private work, it contains motifs that permeate both the private work and the diary. Key words: Poetry of 19th century, Irma Geisslová, diary, public, private, intimate, women
