Heflerová, Petra ; Komberec, Filip (advisor) ; Hausenblas, Ondřej (referee)
The diploma thesis Film adaptations of literary works in the teaching of literature in high school deals with the comparison of film and literature as types of art, the analysis of film and the process of adaptation of a literary work into a film form. It's aim is to propose teaching activities related to the short story and the film Closely Watched Trains for the use of film adaptations in teaching literature. The design of activities proceeds from the setting of the goal.

Austen who submitted to the conventions of her age seems to have accepted her position in the narrow society she lived in and yet she looked at it with humour, which in her works often becomes the effect of her irony. Nevertheless, the usage of the means of humour and irony, to comment on the socio-economic position of women and the inner world of women is slightly different in Jane Austen's novels and in the film/television adaptations. While readers, viewers or critics compare a novel and its adaptation, many of them consciously or subconsciously prefer the originary text above its screen version. Even though sometimes the success of the film overshadows the popularity of its fictional model, films are still regarded the lesser art, incomparable to literature. Films seem to be undemanding when we imagine the effort one has to produce while decoding meanings from fiction. Yet, both fiction and film have become strongly interconnected and almost inseparable. Directors have been able to strike the reading...
