Snoop Dog
Trenčanská, Laura ; Gajarský, Dominik (referee) ; Mazanec, Martin (advisor)
In my bachelor work Snoop Dog I study the relationship of text, moving image and material, which changes its form and meaning by intermingling the individual picture collages. The result is a site-specific installation made up of a variety of materials and technologies, which build on the form of narrative exhibition projects I realized at Citysurfer Office Prague (2017), Gallery FaVU Brno (2018), Galerie 207 Praha (2016). The starting point is the author's text and then the installation unit, where I try to work with the spatial conditions of the old FaVU building.

Georges Simenon: The "commissaire Maigret" in Czech translation
Barrera, Helena ; Belisová, Šárka (advisor) ; Šotolová, Jovanka (referee)
(in English): The present diploma thesis analyses three translations, published with twenty years of difference, of novels featuring the commissioner Maigret character written by a Belgian writer Georges Simenon. As a baseline for our analysis of the translations, the theoretical part of the present paper outlines the current state of research in the topic, provides an introduction into the life and work of the writer. Further, we present an account of detective novels in general and their historical development in France, which will enable us to identify how the Maigret novels fit within the genre and where they differ from its general features. Next, we will review how Simenon's work was received by readers in the French speaking countries and within the Czech environment; we will also present an overview of the publications of the Maigret novels. We will then provide a detailed analysis of the original French version of the novels focusing on introduction and classification of the selected characteristics. Based on the analysis, we discovered certain areas such as translation of local names or translation of expressions of level of certainty, which allow for comparison of the translations in question. Using this comparison, we aim to track any potential development in translation strategy. The...

Narrator and investigator in Roberto Bolaño's detective novel
Dobošová, Elena ; Housková, Anna (advisor) ; Sánchez Fernández, Juan Antonio (referee)
Synopsis The aim of the thesis is to analyse the category of the narrator in a detective story. This category can be considered firstly as an independent textual element and secondly in its connection to the plotline. In the structure of detective stories, apart from fabula and sujet, we can discern two mutually influential plotlines. One of them is the story of the crime (past), the other is the story of the reconstruction (investigation of the crime). The way they approach each other on different levels (the setting, characters) helps us to understand the structure of the whole story. The reader can actualize the narrative also thanks to the mediator, the mediator between the text and the reader being the narrator. In the detective story Distant Star the narrator is unreliable, which expresses itself in different ways. The unreliability is supported by the fact that it is a subjectivized narration of a character who can be identified as the narrator. 'The narrator - character' does not have a single focalization in this story. He comments (e.g. by use of brackets) upon his previous stands. The point of view of the narration changes along with the character. 'The narrator - character' can at the same time be considered as the author's alter ego. We may encounter the author himself thematized in the text...

The build-up of a plot in Josef Skvorecky's tetralogy about lieutenant Boruvka
Zamora, Juan ; Špirit, Michael (advisor) ; Bílek, Petr (referee)
The scope of the thesis is the description of plot in the open tetralogy of Josef Škvorecký about the lieutenant Josef Borůvka which was published between 1966-1981. We examine the extent to which the rules characteristic for detective stories are complied with in the series and how passages devoted to private life of main characters relate to the investigation of the cases. Theoretically we draw from professional literature about the detective genre (especially Škvorecký, Sýkora, Todorov) and the literature about the author (Kosková, Trenský). We describe contexts of the tetralogy with other proses of Josef Škvorecký as well.
