The Pathos of Wing and Arrow: the Variances of Eros in the History of European Literature.
Macl, Ondřej ; Činátlová, Blanka (advisor) ; Bílek, Petr (referee)
(anglicky) The aspiration of this thesis is on behalf of (more authentic) Eros problematic "to shake" literary science, not to say its method of interpretation, and so open another, more sensitive approach to art. As a tangle of starting points, I used the dubious theories of authors such as late R. Barthes, G. Didi-Huberman, H. Bloom, G. Bataille or S. Sontag. But especially, I delve into the studies of European literature in order to expose my own "wounds", no less violently classified into thematic chapters (Cosmogony, God of Love, Desire, Philosophy, Heart, Arrow, Wing, Game, Topos, Instinct, Orpheus and others). Therefore I introduce Eros as multifaceted phenomenon, in contrast to monological tendencies of dominant (platonic or Christian) erotic interpretations. Moreover - in polemics with Bataille's eroticism - I try to make Eros "the work".

The image of Helen
Chlupáčová, Edita ; Rytíř, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Fischerová, Sylva (referee)
The thesis describes a corpus of Greek archaic and classic poetic texts, where Helen and her eidōlon appear next to each other. As for the methodology, the thesis took its shape in the frame of French classical philology and structuralism. It is shown that the concept of eidōlon in several ways opens up the question of re-production, both biologic and poetic. As a sign, the eidōlon signifies an oscilation between a speech sign and an image, which poses the question of time and space. The singularity of the concept of eidōlon is being related to the present by comparison with photography as conceived by Roland Barthes. The thesis examines potency of the chosen methodology in relation to its object, therefore by simulation it examines how it is possible to write about the Greeks today and how Roland Barthes wrote about the Greeks, from which follows the search for possibilities of application of Barthes'concepts of studium, punctum, mathesis singularis. Subthesis is a proposition that Barthes' Camera Lucida is in dialogue with Plato's Phaedrus.

Thinking of Photographs in the Work of Roland Barthes
KAUTZKÁ, Tereza
This bachelor thesis deals with an aesthetic of photography from the point of view of Roland Barthes. The main work I am going to deal with in this thesis is the last study called Camera Lucida - Reflections of photography by Roland Barthes from 1980. In this book, he deviates from his typical semiological approach to the benefit of wider and more personal gripped concept of photography on the border with phenomenology, semiology, psychoanalysis and personal biography. In this thesis, I am also going to work with Barthes' previous texts in which he was interested in photography. These texts include the Photographic Message (1961), The Rhetoric of the Image (1964) and The Third Meaning (1970). I am going to focus on the characteristic of photography like a photography itself, on its ontology and why the photography is that specific and what makes it that specific from the other kind of Art. Mainly I will focus on two key concepts from the Camera Lucida, the concepts of studium and punctum and how this punctum is connected to time and death.
