The Eternal Boyhood of Jiří Karásek ze Lvovic
Kolařík, Karel ; Vojtěch, Daniel (advisor) ; Lishaugen, Roar (referee) ; Merhaut, Luboš (referee)
The thesis attempts to describe the life and work of Jiří Karásek ze Lvovic through an analysis of his lifestyle, i.e. the way in which he organized, embellished and individualized his life. Karásek sought to shape his existence as an artwork, in accordance with the inspirational concepts of the contemporary and antecedent thinkers and artists (e.g. Oscar Wilde, Walter Pater and Maurice Maeterlinck). He accented its integrity and orientation towards beauty. In accord with his aesthetic vision (and his literary work) Karásek conditioned beauty with sadness and pain and attempted to emphasize melancholic beauty, unity in disunion. For that purpose he would accentuate particularly the disintegrative, critical elements, evoking the impression of unsuccessful, self-destructive endeavor to reach life's high ideal. This corresponded with his tragic concept of the artist immolating himself for his Art. I approach Karásek's lifestyle through the use of the terms youth and (eternal) boyhood, which Karásek himself employed as symbols of mournfully beautiful existence in his literary work. I define a youth - in accordance with the romantic and symbolist interpretation - as a person at odds with reality (contemporary truths, customs and rules), a solitary, unique being, trying to construct a new world - only...

The Depiction of Gypsies and Its Relationship to "Our" Village in 19th-Century Czech Literature
Soukup, Daniel ; Šmahelová, Hana (advisor) ; Merhaut, Luboš (referee) ; Svatoň, Vladimír (referee)
Mgr. Daniel Soukup The Depiction of Gypsies and Its Relationship to "Our" Village in 19th-Century Czech Literature (abstract) The present study analyzes the "Gypsy" figures in 19th -century Czech literature as non- mimetic creations. A critique of the contrary approach, which sees "Gypsies" as distorted images of actual Romanies, is elaborated in chap. 1.3. The subsequent chapters focus on the concepts of "constructed strangeness", marginality and the numinous (1.4); the diverse cultural layers which make up the Gypsy stereotype (1.5); and the semantics of this stereotype (1.6). This general theoretical overview is followed by interpretations of four literary texts (chap. 1.7-1.10) which represent the archaic (demonizing), the romantic and the modern (ironic) layers of the Gypsy image. The spy Zatrán, a character in Josef Linda's historical drama Jaroslav Šternberg v boji proti Tatarům, can be seen as an example of a demonized Gypsy. Karel Hynek Mácha's novel Cikáni and Adolf Heyduk's lyrical sequence "Cigánské melodie" depict both the romantic desire to identify with the Gypsy and the impossibility to achieve it. Svatopluk Čech's short story "Cikánka" presents an ironic deconstruction of the Gypsy stereotype. The second part of the study contains comprehensive contextual interpretations of Gypsy motifs in...

Project Authentic
Kotyk, Petr ; Špirit, Michael (advisor) ; Merhaut, Luboš (referee)
bez aj abstraktu Nástup svobody v Ceskoslovensku po roce 1989 a technické možnosti, které se na pocátku 90. let 20. století staly bežne dostupné v oblasti záznamu zvuku a obrazu, umožnily v Památníku národního písemnictví Praha spustit v Literárním archivu na podzim roku 1990 casosberný Projekt Authentic, projekt porizování videozáznamu (a v prípade nutnosti ci omezení jen audiozáznamu) z nejruznejších oblastí ceského literárního života. Nejvetšího významu dosáhl Projekt Authentic v první polovine 90. let, kdy první soukromé televize nastolily jiná témata a dokumentární televizní tvorba Ceskoslovenské (pozdeji Ceské) televize zaznamenávající pametníky se teprve rozvíjela. V souvislosti s reorganizacemi a úbytkem financních prostredku od poloviny 90. let klesala i podpora Projektu Authentic ze strany vedení PNP, až byl projekt v léte 2009 (pracující prakticky od roku 1996 v redukované podobe) fakticky zastaven. Paradoxne tomu tak bylo ve chvíli, kdy vyšly nebo k publikaci byly pripravovány tri knihy rozhovoru (2008-2010), které z neho cerpají, a záznamy se stávají pramenem literárnehistorických bádání, což bylo posláním projektu. Príklady badatelského využití cásti natocených rozhovoru s ceskými básníky a spisovateli jako literárnehistorického pramene se zabývá tato práce.

Raš, Jakub ; Vaněk, Václav (advisor) ; Merhaut, Luboš (referee)
In this thesis we deal with interpretation of the late lyric poetry of Antonin Sova (1864-1928). The late work is represented by collections Zpěvy domova (Songs of Homeland, 1918), Krvácející bratrství - Rozjímání ranní i navečerní (The Bleeding Brotherhood - Evening and Morning Meditations, 1920), Básníkovo jaro (The Poet's Spring, 1921), Básně nesobeckého srdce (The Poems of the Unselfish Heart, 1922), Jasná vidění (The Clear Visions, 1922), Naděje i bolesti (Hopes and Pains, 1924) and Drsná láska (The Rough Love, 1927), the posthumously released sets of Sova's poems from the years 1922 to 1928 called Hovory věcí (Talk of Things, 1929) and Za člověkem (To Man, 1930), then several poems contained in a book of Píseň o Rovnosti (The Song of Equality, 1951) and poems that Sova published between 1918-1919 in a satirical magazine called Šibeničky (The Small Gallows). Author's poetry is divided into four groups: 1) nature poetry, 2) intimate poetry, 3) social poetry and 4) selfreflexive poetry. In the analysis we focus on the lyrical subject - that is, to what is spoken (themes and motives), but also how to speak about in sense of epistemology (knowledge and their articulation) and axiology (values and attitudes), which often results in more or less complex models of the central ideas of reality like man, life...

Catholic Modernism in the mirror of the correspondence
Klínková, Hana ; Wiendl, Jan (advisor) ; Merhaut, Luboš (referee)
bez abstraktu v aj Vzájemná korespondence benediktina, básníka, prozaika, překladatele, literárního a výtvarného kritika a malíře Sigismunda Boušky (1867-1942) a katolického kněze, básníka, národopisce, autora próz a románů Jindřicha Šimona Baara (1869-1925) je zajímavým písemným korespondenčním celkem a důležitým dokumentem pro badatele v rámci několika oborů - pro literární historiky, církevní historiky, kunsthistoriky, translatology, hudební teoretiky, folkloristy a regionální badatele. Korespondence souvisí úzce s hnutím české Katolické moderny konce 19. a počátku 20. století a je důležitá i pro studium osobností a tvorby obou pisatelů. Potvrzuje, jak důležitým pramenem pro bádání korespondence můžee být, obzvláště dochová-li se v souvislejší řadě. Připomíná také, jakým zajímavým momentem je knižní vydání korespondence, které povyšuje edici korespondence na jakýsi specifický druh literárního žánru, podobný či lépe řečeno příbuzný memoárové literatuře. Má své naprosto nezastupitelné místo pro dokreslení, zpřesnění, objasnění (nebo naopak zkomplikování) výkladů a hodnocení všech odborných prací.
