Commented translation: Selected poems by S. T. Coleridge
Eliášová, Johana ; Beran, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Pilný, Ondřej (referee)
The aim of the thesis is to present a new translation and a translatological analysis of four selected poems by the English Romantic poet Samuel Taylore Coleridge, i.e. Dejection: An Ode, The Nightingale, Frost at Midnight, and Love. The analysis is based on the presented translation and on the previous translations of the same texts by Václav Renč (first published in 1965) and Zdeněk Hron (published in 1999). The thesis is divided into the translation and three following parts. The first part covers the understanding of the texts and the philological problems that might impede it. There is also a description of semantic differences between individual translations. These differences originate in diverse interpretations of the texts by their translators and in inadequate choices of Czech equivalents. The second part consists of my own interpretation of the poems which is based on Coleridge's concept of Imagination and Fancy described in his Biographia Literaria. The third part deals with the problems that arouse from the attempt to translate the poems into Czech, which is mainly the matter of Czech iambic verse.

Speaking of the "Unspeakable". Messages hidden in the Work and in the Life of Mishima Yukio

1 Summary My dissertation focuses on Mishima Yukio and the way the author, who strongly occupied himself with reflections on the imperfection of human language during the last decade of his life, conveyed the things that he was not able to or did not want to express explicitly. The dissertation is based on the metaphor of four rivers flowing into the Sea of Fertility, one of the arid lunar maria, that the writer used for his 'inconsistent' life shortly before his death. The four rivers that merged in Mishima's final work, the grandiose tetralogy The Sea of Fertility, represented four areas of the author's life. Each of them allowed him to express his ideas and feelings in a slightly different way. The River of Writing represented his fiction, the River of Theater showed his plays and his acting, the River of Body emphasized the role of bodybuilding and other sports in his life and finally, the River of Action revealed how the effeminate writer had transformed himself into a 'man of action'. The first section of my dissertation deals with Mishima's view on verbal communication. Although Mishima was a renowned writer and playwright who for the most part led a hardworking life and poured most of his energy into his writing, his attitude towards words was rather ambivalent. On the one hand, Mishima loved...

Committed Imagery in the Conceptual Sermon "The New Cherub" by Bilovský
NOSKOVÁ, Michaela
The subject of this work is the conceptual sermon The New Cherub (1695), whose author is a prominent representative of baroque homiletics ? Bohumír Hynek Josef Bilovský (1659 - 1725). The bachelor thesis focuses on the analysis of the conceptual imagery which Bilovský employs. The aim is to study the function of conceit and figurative language in Bilovsky's text, especially in regards to the textual strategies of constituting the orthodoxy of Catholicism and the heterodoxy of non-Catholicism.
