Metamorphoses of Narrator in Novels of Jaromír John
Kleňha, Petr ; Mravcová, Marie (advisor) ; Holý, Jiří (referee)
Metamorphoses of Narrator in Novels of Jaromír John This diploma paper focuses on the function of the narrator and his various forms in John's prosaic work. It deals with the issue of the construction of the fictional world and how the narrator influences the reader's understanding of the described events. Primarily, we try to compare the narrative categories of the main contemporary concepts as influenced by Shlomith Rimmon-Kenan, Franz Stanzel and Lubomír Doležel. It is our terminology base. Theoretical understanding of the narrator is the basis for the analysis of John's fiction from the aspect of narrative types applied to a selected sample of author's works: the anthology of the tales with war theme Večery na slamníku, novels Moudrý Engelbert, Výbušný zlotvor, Pampovánek, Honda Cibulků; marginally Estét and other works. Concurrently this work aims to describe construction methods that are typical for John's creative style - it is mainly the use of irony, the principle of collage and documentary elements. It shows that the author's work at that time belonged to the experimental stream of Czech prose. Also, we observe the relationship between author's prose work and his aesthetic concept. We hope that we were able to, at least partially, explain the literary style of Jaromir John. His importance and...

Combining of Realistic and Anti-illusionist methods in Contemporary Theatre
Píza, Ludvík ; MUSILOVÁ, Martina (advisor) ; AUGUSTOVÁ, Zuzana (referee)
This bachelor thesis attempts to describe some of the staging methods based on combining realistic and anti-illusionist components in European contemporary theatre, specifically of the examples of Woodcutters by Krystian Lupa and Regulation of Intimacy by Jiří Havelka. The major part of this thesis focuses on the first theatre production and consists of analysis of Woodcutters, a novel by Thomas Bernhard, and its theatre adaptation. In both cases, I focus on the general structure of these pieces, their work with time and space and their performative aspects. The comparison aims to describe the main common as well as different features of the novel and the staging concept based on a performative model.
The second part analyses the production Regulation of Intimacy and its staging concept of public confession. The aim is to depict the intentional usage of two opposing principles and the aesthetic experience it provides for the spectator.
In the end, I am trying to sum up depicted staging methods that prove the possibility of effectively combining realistic and anti-illusionist elements that may strengthen each other, coexist and organically permeate.
