It summarizes the different attitudes to the terminology and the definitions of the key terms (particularly within the Czech-German discourse), includes the history of the poetry slam formation, its expansion to the other countries and its establishment in the Czech Republic and Germany. The work focuses on a comparison of important aspects of the "poetry slam" as an event format and the "slam poetry" as a literary genre on the Czech and German scene, which was based on available literature, slam visits, recordings from the events and interviews with the participants. The results of the comparative analysis provide the public better with the specifics of the both scenes, which is of importance especially to the Czech scene that has stayed without a public interest up to the present day.

Jakubcová, Alena ; Starý, Jiří (advisor) ; Zbytovský, Štěpán (referee)
The diploma thesis is based on the results of analysis of two literary works: Bebuquin (Carl Einstein) and Mein Name sei Gantenbein (Max Frisch). It express the changed worldview and understanding of literature at the turn of the ninetieth to the twentieth century and connect them into the term of possibility - as a new kind of lived and perceived reality. The analysis itself strides from one layer of the literary work to another and leads to the differentiation of the three possibility-types: the ›ambiguous diversion‹, ›open uncertainty‹ and ›empty incomprehensibility‹.
