The theme of art and love in The Seagull
Horvátová, Nella Anežka ; Kučera, Miloš (advisor) ; Viktorová, Ida (referee)
The bachelor thesis is focused on mapping the main themes of the drama by A. P. Chekhov The Seagull. The aim is to describe the intertwining of the lines of love, art and the symbol of the seagull in relation to the characters. Furthermore, the thesis takes into account the setting of the play's motifs in a broader context. In each chapter it suggests the relationality between the characters as well as their functions in the play. Analysis, compilation and comparison are used in the treatment, and the findings will be demonstrated through practical examples and quotations from the play, which will form part of the theoretical part of the thesis. The thesis also includes conceptual maps that graphically illustrate the thematic relationships between characters and themes. The thesis is based on foreign and Czech publications related to the interdisciplinary interpretation of Chekhov's drama. One of the main terminologies used is psychologist Lee's concept of the theory of love. The text is written on the borderline of several disciplines and mixes mainly findings from psychology and drama theory. KEYWORDS The Seagull, Chekhov, psychology of art, drama theory, love, art
Nest defence and predator recognition by Arctic tern \kur{(Sterna paradisaea)}
ŠPIČKA, Jan
In the presented work, I describe the behaviour of Arctic terns (Sterna paradisaea) toward predator species that differ in the threat they represent to them and to their nests. I presented textile dummies of great black-backed gull (Larus marinus), peregrine falcon (Falco peregrinus), common raven (Corvus corax) and common eider (Somateria mollissima), piece of wood as a harmless stimulus, and human intruder in sitting position near the tern nests. Experiments were conducted on the Varanger peninsula in Norway. The tern behaviour was recorded and analysed to see any dummy species related differences.
Ravens respond to unfamiliar corvid alarm calls
DAVÍDKOVÁ, Marika
The following work encompasses a research in the behaviour of the common raven (Corvus corax). I tested the responses of the common raven to heterospecific alarm calls of various bird species that differ in familiarity and taxonomical relatedness to ravens. Two other corvid species (jays) and two non-corvids (gulls) were presented. The ravens were given stimuli from one jay and one gull - one of which was always familiar to the tested ravens (European) and one unfamiliar (American). The results suggest that familiarity is not as important as the membership to the Corvidae family.
