"Death in Venise": a psychoanalytical approach
Sácký, Jan
The goal of this thesis is to offer a psychoanalytical understanding of Thomas Mann's short story Death in Venice. This understanding is achieved through analysis of motive of godhood and the explanation of two dominant themes of the story, love and death. This thesis also compares the story of novella with Plato's dialogue Phaedrus and draws paralels between message of the novela and Sigmund Freud's work Beyond the pleasure principle and two of the fragments from Heraclitus of Ephesus. Thesis also offers brief research of what was already written about Death in Venice. The findings of my interpretation are compared to Heinz Kohut's interpretation of Death in Venice from 1957. KEY WORDS god, godhood, antiquity, eros, love, death

Thomas Mann's Myth Concept and Ivan Olbracht's sub-Carpathian Proses
Zitová, Olga ; Holý, Jiří (advisor) ; Zbytovský, Štěpán (referee)
This thesis deals with a myth concept in Thomas Mann's and Ivan Olbracht's work. In regard to the tertium comparationis, which is myth, Mann's novels Joseph and His Brothers (Joseph und seine Brüder) and Doctor Faustus (Doktor Faustus) as well as Olbracht's novels The Bitter and the Sweet (Nikola Šuhaj loupežník) and Valley of Exile (Golet v údolí) are analysed. The concepts of these two authors are being compared both on a genetic level, which includes a possible influence of the tetralogy Joseph and His Brothers on Olbracht's work, and on a typological level. The second one includes analogies, which are independent of the possible direct influence. The thesis is methodological based on interpretation of fictional texts and their continuous comparison considering a literary-historical context and cultural-historical background of that time. Especially in some details, it can be considered that Thomas Mann had a direct influence on Olbracht's work in case of both of the novels. A number of analogies have been found, which exemplify a resemblance between the authors but which don't deny that Olbracht was an autonomous and creative personality at the same time. The specific myth concept of both authors harmonise with a period tendency in the modern literature.
