Chromý, Jan ; Bílek, Petr (advisor) ; Králíková, Andrea (referee)
The poet Karel Hynek Mácha belongs to one of the classic writers of the Czech literature. That is the reason why this personage and his work play an important role in the teaching of literature at secondary schools. This diploma thesis analyses an important element of teaching practice. It focuses on Mácha from the point of view of literature textbooks. On the basis of synchronous comparison of these textbooks, we can find out the striking similarity since all the texts choose the same events of Mácha's life. He is appraised nearly with the same terms. The texts create an image of Mácha, the image of the author, which as a significant paratext highly influences the way new texts and other didactic materials are created and literature taught. This diploma thesis is from its bigger part a casual study bringing a detailed analysis of the contemporary image of Karel Hynek Mácha in the literature textbooks. Moreover, it offers a look at its diachronous perspective as well.

That is why it is widely described in the first chapter together with its relations to other concepts about the author. Keywords author, the image of the author, Karel Hynek Mácha, literature...

Lhotová, Kateřina ; Rubáš, Stanislav (advisor) ; Rosová, Anna (referee)
This thesis deals with the reception of the works of Michail Bugakov by the Czech community from the 1920s to 1980s. This time frame is set by the publishing of two translations of Bulgakov's novella Fatal Eggs. Using the two translations, published over fifty years apart, this thesis attempts to demonstrate how were Bulgakov's works received by the Czech community and in what context were they understood. The thesis focuses mainly on the impact of the novel in the life and work of Michail Bulgakov. Following that, a picture of the author created by the Czech journalism and commentaries accompanying his works is shown. Through the analysis of these texts the thesis focuses on the influence of ideology on the interpretation of author's works and fate. Further focus is given to the differences of translation styles of both translators. The translatological analysis of selected samples of both translations has been conducted and upon it the methods used by each of the translators have been synthesized.

Králíková, Andrea ; Bílek, Petr (advisor) ; Špirit, Michael (referee) ; Kubíček, Tomáš (referee)
This PhD. Thesis "The Language of Images (The Image of an Author as a Paratextual Phenomenon in Cultural Transfer)" deals with the teoretical questions of the notion "The Image of an Author" and the way the term is constituted and its conections to a specific cultural space in the frame of cultural transfer. The Image of the Author is interpreted as a paratextual phenomenon which is on the one hand created through review acceptance and medial discurs in the cultural space, and on the other hand has influence on the way the text is accepted by the reader. The question of the image of an author is approached in the context of other paratextual elements, paratexts are from our point of view read as cultural (semantic) units, which participace on semiotic space of culture. The first three chapters form the teoretical basis of the thesis and focus on the theme of cultural transfer and paratexts. The core of the thesis is in its second part which presents four case studies about four different author's types in contemporary Czech literature (Jáchym Topol, Petra Hůlová, Jaroslav Rudiš, Miloš Urban). Each case study analyses the main points of their reception, the speech of the medial discourse and the way of their presentation and self-presentation. A comparison with distinc attributes of reception in...
