Jan Svankmajer- inspiration by literature and theatre
Balej, Petr ; KUBÍČEK, Jiří (advisor) ; ULVER, Stanislav (referee)
Summary:
The subject of this thesis is an analysis of literary and theatrical inspiration (E.
A. Poe, D. A. F. Sade, Ch. D. Grabbe, L. Carrol, V. de l?Isle-Adam, H. Walpole, J.
W. Goethe, Ch. Marlowe, Baroque and popular plays, Gothic fiction, fairy tales) in
Jan Švankmajer?s short (The Last Trick, Punch and Judy, Don Juan, Jabberwocky,
Castle of Otranto, The Fall of the House of Usher, The Pendulum, the Pit and
Hope) and full-feature (Alice, Faust, Little Otik, Lunacy).
The goal of the thesis is to investigate how these sources of inspiration are
handled in the final films, how the original topics are translated to other media
and how their meaning is developed or reshaped. As regards theatrical
inspiration, the thesis describes the transfer of formal means of expression
typical for theatre (black light theatre, masked actors, hand puppet theatre, etc.)
into film as well as the author?s relationship to puppets and the crucial impact of
this relationship on his work.
