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...

Fictional Man: Ned Kelly in Peter Carey's True History of the Kelly Gang in Comparison with Older Portrayals
Prentis, Adam ; Chalupský, Petr (advisor) ; Topolovská, Tereza (referee)
TITLE: The Fictional Man: Ned Kelly in Peter Carey's True History of the Kelly Gang in Comparison with Older Portrayals AUTHOR: Adam Prentis DEPARTMENT: Department of English Language and Literature SUPERVISOR: PhDr. Petr Chalupský, Ph.D. ABSTRACT: The thesis concerns itself with the analysis of various personality aspects of the protagonist of Peter Carey's True History of the Kelly Gang (2000) - Ned Kelly. Albeit a historical figure, Ned Kelly is approached as a fictional character with focus placed on his symbolic status of Australian nationality, myth and manhood, and on the literary means that point to this. The separate aspects are placed in an evolutionary context through comparisons with older portrayals of the same character - in Max Brown's Australian Son (1948) and J. J. Kenneally's The Complete Inner History of the Kelly Gang and their Pursuers (1929), all of which use a heroising approach to the man. The work shows that Ned Kelly may be perceived in many complex ways, with further possibilities for analysis suggested. Comparing the three books, it is found that although considerable unifying tendencies and moments exist, some aspects have a significant difference in focus or emphasis. A shift is noted from a confrontational idealising defence of what is perceived as a historical person to a...

Ned Kelly: aspekty mýtu a mužství v textech ze tří generací
Prentis, Adam ; Chalupský, Petr (advisor) ; Topolovská, Tereza (referee)
TITLE: Ned Kelly: Aspects of Myth and Manhood in Texts from Three Generations AUTHOR: Adam Prentis DEPARTMENT: Department of English Language and Literature SUPERVISOR: PhDr. Petr Chalupský, Ph.D. ABSTRACT: The thesis concerns itself with the analysis of various personality aspects of the protagonist of Peter Carey's True History of the Kelly Gang (2000) - Ned Kelly. Albeit a historical figure, Ned Kelly is approached as a fictional character with focus placed on his symbolic status of Australian nationality, myth and manhood, and on the literary means that point to this. The thesis looks into the ways in which Ned Kelly's manhood status is constructed and maintained, and into the fictionality derived from an absence of hard evidence and conflicting testimonies concerning the protagonist's life and deeds. The separate aspects are placed in an evolutionary context through comparisons with older portrayals of the same character from two earlier generations - in Max Brown's Australian Son (1948) and J. J. Kenneally's The Complete Inner History of the Kelly Gang and their Pursuers (1929), all of which use a heroising approach to the man. The work shows that Ned Kelly may be perceived in many complex ways. Comparing the three books, it is found that although considerable unifying tendencies and moments exist,...
