Use of Autobiographical Motifs in Works of Edgar Dutka, Eliška Vlasáková and Antonín Bajaja
Pokorná, Jitka ; Janoušek, Pavel (advisor) ; Hrabáková, Jaroslava (referee)
The work confronts prosaic pieces with noticeable autobiographical features. It deals namely with works of Edgar Dutka, Eliška Vlasáková and Antonín Bajaja. It was not a coincidence to choose right these three Czech authors. They have quite a few features in common. They all belong to the same generation. They are born in the 40's of the 20th century, so they have spent an essential part of their lives (childhood, adolescence and substantial part of their working age) in the second half of the 20th century - in the time of political convulsions and social changes. A childhood spent during this period has become their common literary theme. They all make their memories a literary piece. Each of them does it in a different way and with a different amount of accuracy. Their inspiration comes from their real life, from their memories. The next common feature of these three authors is that they all wrote some of their texts without a vision to make them public. They wrote them for themselves. Book editions were carried out after the year 2000. Last but not least mutual fact is that all of these three authors have been nominated for a prestigious literary price. Edgar Dutka's works show the interdigitation of fictional worlds and also the diffusion of these worlds in the real life of the author. Eliška...

Dadáková, Markéta ; Mocná, Dagmar (advisor) ; Brožová, Věra (referee)

The thesis is divided into two main chapters; the first is theoretical and is divided into two parts. The second chapter focuses on comparative analysis. The first literary-historical part deals with the life and literary life of a woman, starting at the second half of the nineteenth century and presents the genre of the romance novel with its sub-genres; the starting point is the work of Lenderová and Mocná. The second theoretical part contains the typology of popular and artistic literature and the categories included therein, especially the categories of author, narrator, reader and model reader. This part is based mainly on Eco's concept of literary work. The second chapter interprets and compares always two stories by Czech authors of the interwar and early wartime. Selected texts of the authors belonging to the canon of artistic literature (Benešová, Pujmanová, Majerová) is compared with the texts of the authors of popular literature (Hüttlová, Neubauer, Žďárská-Strejčková). The thesis presents connections between these texts of dual...
