About brigands and bandits. Elaboration of a textual tradition.
Raabová, Kateřina ; Jančík, Jiří (advisor) ; Fučíková, Milena (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to introduce the phenomenon of brigandage, its origins, but also its development in time and space, and above all in the context of textual tradition. Robbery is examined from a literary scientific perspective, emphasizing its belonging to both the real and the fictional universe. Representatives of this phenomenon, both from the French and the Czech environment, are not neglected in the research. The tales and legends related to these selected heroes are then subjected to a comparative analysis, which takes the optics of Vladimir J. Propp's fairy tale morphology and does not forget the study of motifs by Adam Votruba. At the same time, selected motifs and themes, are also identified in this work. The detailed analysis aims to determine whether the brigand stories are completely individual and unique or whether they are just certain variations on an identical theme and thus a kind of regional updating of a single model. At the same time, the thesis focuses on the reflection of the brigand theme in culture, specifically in literature, film, music and visual arts, without neglecting its overlap with contemporary times. In the appendix section of the thesis, stories of individual brigands are selected at the end, which may help the reader to better understand not only the...

Kubena, Martin ; Mašek, Tomáš (advisor) ; Řehořová, Irena (referee)
This master's thesis analyses and compares selected documentary films, "Samsara" and "Before the Flood" which differ mainly in the way of thematization and construction of nature. The analysis is done using the dominant environmental aesthetic concepts - aesthetic engagement and cognitive aesthetics. With the help of an in-depth semiotic analysis, it is examined how the motifs of nature are presented in these different genres of documentary film, what film techniques and techniques are used for this and how this selection influences the perception and evaluation of the depicted nature. What makes this work unique is the connection between film art and environmental aesthetics. Ultimately, understanding how certain genre-conventional films depict nature can contribute to a better understanding of people's relationship with nature. Analysis has shown that the depiction of the aesthetic value of nature is different in both documents, with "Samsara" presenting nature in accordance with the aesthetic engagement, while "Before the Flood" is rather indifferent to the set environmental aesthetic theories. All other findings are found in the Analytical part of the document. Keywords Film, documentary, aesthetics, appreciation, environment, nature, culture, art, sensitivity, knowledge, engagement, Samsara,...
