Helimadoe and Petrolejové lampy: A gender analysis of Jaroslav Havlíček's novels
Teclová, Petra ; Jiroutová Kynčlová, Tereza (advisor) ; Heczková, Libuše (referee)
The master thesis Helimadoe and Petrolejové lampy: A Gender Analysis of Jaroslav Havlíček's Novels examines selected texts and conveys gender-focused interpretations. The analysis of both of Havlíček's novels is carried out within the context of feminist literary theories. The main methodological and theoretical foundations of the thesis are "resisting reading" as introduced by Judith Fetterly and Jonathan Culler's "reading as a woman". Since the thesis is also a qualitative sociological analysis, it uses the processes of discourse analysis as well. The text focuses on the issue of power relations and their gender dimension, on the construction of gender and gender identity of individual female and male characters, on their sexuality, on their gendered activities and on the description and interpretation of the environment that the literary characters inhabit. A special attention is primarily (but not only) paid to main female characters and their revolt against the patriarchal system of the society. In relation to this problem the thesis necessarily deals with the topic of the gender social order and it shows what influence this order has along with other factors on the lives of individual characters. Key words: feminist criticism, resisting reading, Jaroslav Havlíček, Helimadoe, Petrolejové...

Terminal Situation in Proses of Jaroslav Havlíček
MALECHOVÁ, Ivana
In the novels Synáček, Neviditelný (Invisible) and Petrolejové lampy (Kerosene Lamps), written by the famed Czech author Jaroslav Havlicek, we will deal with the reception and interpretation of the extreme situations that the characters find themselves in. This phenomenon will be observed in the context of the philosophy of existence, especially with regards to the German philosopher Karl Jaspers as its leading exponent, and further with regards to one of the most influential thinkers of the 20th century, German phenomenological philosopher Martin Heidegger. Further inspiration will be provided by the poetics of Daniela Hodrová and her view of characters connected to a certain place, as well as Gaston Bachelard and his poetics of space. Based on the mentioned aspects, we shall phrase a conclusion on which extreme situations are most often exhibited in Havlíček´s work and how we read them.
