Semrádová, Adéla ; Kubíček, Tomáš (advisor) ; Smrčka, Jiří (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with the issue of the depiction of the normalisation period from the perspective of child protagonists in the works of Czech literature of the 1990s. The thesis is concerned with the novels B. Proudew by Irena Dousková and Bliss was it in Bohemia by Michal Viewegh, and it first analyses them from the point of view of the narrator, the chronotope, the configuration of the characters and the techniques of their characterisation and the narrative audience. The thesis then employs the comparative method to ascertain which narrative techniques involved in constructing the narrative worlds are significant for an idyllic image of the normalisation reality in Czechoslovakia without disparaging the seriousness of the historical period.

Child hero in a complicated life situation - didactical application
Voláková, Miroslava ; Klumparová, Štěpánka (advisor) ; Hausenblas, Ondřej (referee)
The purpose of this thesis is to outline different ways of utilising our two chosen literary works for kids and teenagers in czech language and literature classes taking place during later years of primary education. Each of the works presents a child hero in a difficult life situation caused mainly by a bully, where the hero eventually overcomes the situation but expends all his energy in the process. The thesis consists of two units - theoretical and practical. The theoretical unit sums up expert findings on difficult life situations in general and applies them during analysis of our heroes and bullies. The practical unit has been divided into two parts, each covering one of the chosen works. First, we analyse the work's didactic potential, then suggest its utilisation in class and finally reflect on our practical demonstrations. We have also included an additional chapter to the practical unit, describing further ways of utilising one of the works in classes, not only czech language and literature but others as well. Output of this thesis is formed by two commented worksheets and an efficiency evaluation of our suggested class preparations, based on the actual demonstrations. KEYWORDS children, child hero, difficult life situations, bullies, cyberbullies, didactic analysis, class preparation,...

Haasová, Jana ; Klumparová, Štěpánka (advisor) ; Hník, Ondřej (referee)
The aim of this postgraduate dissertation, entitled Depiction of Existentially Tense Life Situations in Selected Works of Children's and Youth Literature and Their Didactic Analysis, is to draw attention to two books for children and youth containing subject matter of a very delicate variety (domestic violence and parents' death) and to point out the possibility of using these literary works in literature or civics class.

The second part deals with the death of a loved one and how it is portrayed in the book A Monster Calls. Chapters are further divided into several subchapters. In the first subchapter, the literature on the topic is reviewed. In the second one, the manifestations of the respective issues in the books are discussed, followed by a subchapter consisting of character analysis. Each final subchapter deals with the didactic potential of the selected extract. The product of the dissertation are two annotated handouts, as well as a summary of my experience with their realization in an elementary school setting.

Significance of characters in modern cinematic fairy-tale by Ota Hofman
Pařízková, Tereza ; DUFEK, Jiří (advisor) ; DUTKA, Edgar (referee)
In this work I deal with analysis of purport of magical characters in Ota Hofman's work.
Hofman is a founder of modern cinematic fairy-tale in Czechoslovakia and his work cinematic and literary is known worldwide. My aim is to describe and categorise his world in its own developmental stages and peripeteia, showing intensity of authorship in his work. Connecting children's psychology with behaviour and motivation of his characters, I would like to show the children's world as seen through Ota Hofman's eyes.
