Patočka, Petr ; Ébert-Zeminová, Catherine (advisor) ; Biegel, Madeleine (referee)
The thesis aims to trace the legacy of twentieth-century French chanson (especially its Belgian branch) in the works of contemporary Belgian singers. Its first part, introduced by a brief reference to the relationship between music and poetry in the past, deals with the history of French song from its origins to the twentieth century. Then, we focus on its Belgian creators, especially Jacques Brel. In his work, we identify features present also in the contemporary layer of genre. The second part is dedicated to more profound analysis of the work of two contemporary Belgian musicians which adopt aforementioned features from Brel's songs and modify them according to their style. In this point of view, two specific songs are analysed in which Brel's legacy is subsequently revealed. Keywords chanson, Belgium, Jacques Brel, Scylla, Loïc Nottet

Ancient Greeks in Gaul
Patočka, Petr ; Kalfiřtová, Eva (advisor) ; Listíková, Renáta (referee)
The objective of the thesis is to briefly map the history of the French territory during the periods of relations with ancient Greece. Most of this work is dedicated to the South and South-East of France (in French known as the Midi), as the Mediterranean coastline of today's France was the main area to be colonized by the ancient Greeks. The first chapter introduces the prehistoric inhabitants of France before making contact with ancient Greece. The thesis focuses on the period which begins with the Grecian colonisation of southern Gaul and ends with its conquest by ancient Rome. Later development of the Midi is outlined in the final chapter. The topic of the history of France in antiquity was subject to many studies in the twentieth century, however, most of them have been forgotten. Therefore, I would like to "revive" some of these studies in my thesis. Keywords - France, antiquity, ancient Greece, Phocaea, Massalia
