Crisis of the Modern Man in works of Egon Hostovsky
Rut, Ivan ; Kubíček, Tomáš (advisor) ; Neumann, Lukáš (referee)
The bachelor's thesis focuses on the comparison of proses by Egon Hostovsky with respect to the theme of the crisis of the modern man. It follows a discourse about his works and discusses its various approaches, particularly the psychological one, the existential one, as well as the context of realist and expressionist narrative basis. Furthermore, it shows the development of Hostovsky's poetics and the reception of his later works, the novel The Charity Ball in particular. The thesis is buttressed by findings and concepts established in publications by Vladimír Papoušek, Lubomír Doležel and František Kautman. The results of the comparative analysis point to the internal connections between the narrative representations of guilt and anxiety, particularly in the novel Dům bez pána (The House Without a Master) and in the short story collection Letters from Exil, which enables the idea of a new authenticity of the human subject, symptomatic for which are modernist uncertainty and groundlessness. To these phenomena an axiological searching in Hostovsky's works is also subjugated to. With exception for Seven Times the Leading Man and The Midnight Patient - the politically oriented Hostovsky's novels, in which a quantity of conservative constructs and decadent contemplations is present. The main poetics...

View of rurality in Czech and Polish prose in 1960s (interpretation of selected literary works)
Bramborová, Marcela ; Poslední, Petr (advisor) ; Holý, Jiří (referee)
The subject matter of this thesis is the presentation of a typology of rural imagery based on a thematic and interpretative analysis of Polish and Czech literary texts from the 1960s with respect to the ongoing changes made to the original romantic-realist concept of the rural novel. The analysis of specific literary works (Sekyra by Ludvík Vaculík, Smuteční slavnost by Eva Kantůrková, and Čas kopřiv by Josef Knap from Czech literature, and, from Polish literature, Opadaný sad by Wiesław Myśliwski, the novels Na slunci by Julian Kawalec and … až budeš králem, až budeš katem… by Tadeusz Nowak) permits us to create a basic register of elements of rural narrativity which, however, Czech and Polish literatures have different perspectives on. Through this dichotomy we present typical narratives contained in the Czech and Polish rural novel of the given period. The subsequent interpretative analysis of the texts takes inspiration from contemporary narratology with special attention to the narrator and time categories, and by extension to the interplay of these categories with individual themes, symbols and topoi.

The 'Loyal' Strategy in Sebestian Hnevkovsky's Epic Devin
Krejčová, Iva
This study focuses on the ideological and social background of Hnevkovsky's epic Devin (1805, 1829), insight into which is provided by Hnevkovsky's original manuscript and his correspondence, as well as by contemporary events in society like the French Revolution, the Napoleonic Wars, and the revolutionary events in Europe during the first decade of the 19th century. In interpreting the different versions of the epic, the author of this study focuses on the subjects of women's emancipation and rights and freedoms, which were important for modelling the role of the ideal ruler and the functions of parliamentary disputation, and also for a notion of the 'golden age' of the Czech lands. Through an analysis of these themes, the author establishes how the narrator appraises collective national identity, defined as the loyal stance of a subject or group to the homeland, the nation, a ruler, or a more widely defined social order, as well as their own personal values (the emotion of love, personal goals of fame).
