Post-Colonial Mosambic Narrative: Constants and Singularities
Banasiak, Marta ; Housková, Anna (advisor) ; Dufková, Vlasta (referee)
The present thesis analyzes the tendencies of the contemporary Mozambican narrative prose (novel). Taking into account the fact that Mozambican literature is an emerging and post-colonial one, the analysis is focused on the issue of how a literature participates in the process of consolidation of the national/cultural identity of this country. This thesis studies three important subjects of the Mozambican narrative prose: language (parting from the work of Mia Couto), history (based on the works by Ungulani Ba Ka Khosa, João Paulo Borges Coelho and Lília Momplé) and tradition (examining two novels by Paulina Chiziane). Key-words: Mozambique, Post-colonial, 20th century Mozambican Literature Language, History, Tradition, Mozabicanity

Multicultural World in Zadie Smith's White Teeth/Multikulturní svět v románu Zadie Smith Bílé zuby
VANČURA, Jakub
Firstly, the thesis focuses on the overall context of contemporary Anglo-American post-colonial literature and in a brief enumeration it covers British and American writers from various ethnic groups, whose novels are currently the most widely read (Zadie Smith, Hanif Kureishi, Salman Rushdie in Britain, Jhumpa Lahiri, Amy Tan, Sandra Cisneros, Sherman Alexie in the USA). The core of this thesis is the analysis of Zadie Smith's novel White Teeth, its language and the overall multicultural context. The thesis includes the thematic aspects of the novel White Teeth (mixed marriages, skin colour, nurture of children from mixed families and different ethnic groups) and it focuses on the language and situational humour within the novel White Teeth.
