In the introductory chapters we analyze the genesis of mystifying legend named Jara Cimrman, then his way from the radio show to the theatre and also his own cult, which all leads to the general poetics of the Theatre of Jara Cimrman.

Media and their influence on man
Hončová, Simona ; Šnýdrová, Ivana (advisor) ; Mužík, Jaroslav (referee)
The issue of the impact of the media on men and society is increasingly topical nowadays when it is impossible to practically imagine the life without the media. The media have been, are and will be an inseparable part of the current life in spite of the fact that they do not always affect us only positively, they might also have a negative impact on us - no matter whether a short term effect or a long term influence is concerned. This work tries to identify these effects and influence and demonstrate them on concrete examples. At the same time it suggests various possibilities how to tackle with the "media phenomenon" and mitigate its negative impact and influence. Together with streamlining the content of the media, it is necessary to disseminate the common knowledge on conclusions of media studies and thus broaden the media literacy across the whole society.

This diploma thesis Composition and Mystification (Jan Novák, Jan Lukeš, and T. R. Field) acquaints the reader with three personages of Czech literature of the twentieth century.

All three authors belong to the category of so called 'loonies', which implies that their lives and their work were to certain extent shaped by the eccentricity of their personalities or perhaps even mental disorders. The introductory chapter with its synoptic character defines and describes the term of literary mystification which is further on related to terms such as play, ludism and myth. Particular emphasis is being put on the distinction between the literary mystifications and the traditional ones. Selected literary mystifications in Czech literature are exemplified. Attention is also drawn to the publications of Vladimír Borecký who was interested in the category of so called 'loonies' and 'weirdoes'. The following chapter is concerned with individual authors maintaining an identical procedure of their depiction. After the sources of information are mentioned, the...
