Literary Field and Literature in Early Post-war Period Táiwān (1945-1949) Abstract The aim of this thesis is to analyze the literature and literary field of early post-war Táiwān (1945-49). This period, when Táiwān was politically reintegrated into China after 50 years as a Japanese colony, exerted a crucial influence on later historical events and developments. During these years, measures for the sinicization of Táiwānese society were implemented, but intellectuals also articulated views of distinctively Táiwānese as opposed to Mainland Chinese cultural features that were revivified by proponents of the Táiwānization (běntŭhuà) move- ment in the 1980s. As laid out in chapter 1, the methodology of the thesis is based on the theory of the literary field formulated by the French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu. The literary scene is understood as a structure created by relationships between various agents who aim to attain the dominant position in the field by accumulating the largest amount of symbolic capital. This is defined as prestige by Bourdieu but should be understood as a combination of prestige and political clout in the Táiwānese context, as this dissertation will argue. To occupy the do- minant position enables agents to define Táiwānese identity, culture, and literature (especially vis-à-vis China)....

Pokorná, Gabriela ; Mareš, Petr (advisor) ; Synková, Pavlína (referee)
The aim of the thesis is to describe non-standard literary devices and their functions in some of Petra Soukupova's prose. On this basis, we will try to define the author's style. The thesis is divided into two parts: theoretical and practical. The theoretical part introduces the artist, her work and position in current Czech literary output. Other chapters are devoted to the stratification and differentiation of Czech language and the examples of colloquial literary devices in literature. This is followed by the practical part - linguistic analysis of selected novels (K moři, Zmizet, Marta v roce vetřelce), which will be the base for the conclusion where all the existing information will be summarized and important findings on the author's style drawn.
