She stresses that as far as codification is concerned, apart from the langue changes of the social and territorial character especially the processes of structural character are important; within them it is necessary to distinguish especially the progressive phenomena.

The Image of the Artist in Czech Feature Films after 1948
Šlingerová, Alena ; Klimeš, Ivan (advisor) ; Přádná, Stanislava (referee)
After the Czechoslovak coup d'état of 1948, the cultural politics of the Communist Party became the only power that should organize, regulate and evaluate cultural affairs. This brouht radical changes of the status of artists. That artists who belonged to the rank of intellectuals had to follow needs of the new kind of society. They accepted orders from above and their activity was strictly controlled. Proletarian amateurs and folk art were officially encouraged. The examples of the progressive art were found in the USSR and also among personalities from the history of the national culture. Cinematography, to which was placed a requirement of topicality, also presented the new image of the artist. The most noticeable results were reached in biografical films about our classics and films exposing folklore and cultural life of the working class. The integration of an intellectual artist into the new society became a pivotal theme in movies Písnička za groš and Nezlob, Kristino. As episodic characters, we can find also completely negative types of artists - enemies of that new society. This spectrum corresponds to a general typology of people that was used in art, journalism and public speech in general: mature, confused and totally inadaptable (designed to be displaced). Exeptional cases of...

Serge Reggiani, the importance of inconspicuousness
Hrzina, Václav ; VALAK, Radim (advisor) ; Slavíková, Nataša (referee)
I would like to understand the importance of an actor in a movie. I choosed Serge Reggiani, a french actor, who never became a star number one. Reggiani went through a lot of important movies in principal or small roles. What it really means acting in a movie, what brings freedom to an actor in front of a camera and is one actor able to play different characters in every other movie. A diversity and length of his filmography, different directing styles he went through will help me to concretize attitude of an actor and perception of his „different“ characters by audience. I would like to bring up some acting metodes in cinematography in my work too.

The space and the time in the novel El hablador by Vargas Llosa
Filipová, Martina ; Housková, Anna (advisor) ; Vydrová, Hedvika (referee)
The objective of this work is to focus on the space and time motives used in the novel The Storyteller by Vargas Llosa which is compared with others books depicting the collision of cultures also - The Vortex (La vorágine) by José Eustacio Rivera, The Lost Steps (Los pasos perdidos) by Alejo Carpentier and Jungle (A selva) by Portuguese writer José Mario Ferreira de Castro. The art space theme is discussed at first, mainly from the point of view of its simillarity with the real space and the mistaken interchange with each other. The study continues by researching of the space relations among all the books above and the theory of Jurij Lotman describing the coherence among space, sujet and characters is applied to these. According to this theory the sujet is created by move of the characters from one semantic field (which can be simplified to world) to another. This move - crossing the borders between the worlds - is allowed only for the "floating" characters, as it is the protagonist of the first sujet line in the novel Storyteller, while Mascarita is the moving character of the second line. Of course this kind of move is determined by a certain conditions that have to be fulfilled and when the person joins the new world or returns from it with "prey" the sujet ends. After Mascarita's assimilation with...

Rewrites of the caracter of Merlin
Vejsadová, Kateřina ; Pohorský, Aleš (advisor) ; Jamek, Václav (referee)
The character of Merlin, closely related to the legend of the king Arthur, fascinate readers and writers for already several centuries. Nevertheless, for many people, readers or not, his real nature remains hidden under the image of a wizard. But this literary character hides more aspects, which are revealed by this work. The first part tries to elucidate particular aspects of the medieval literary creation, which is specific by the anonymity, the heterogeneity and by the fact of rewrites. At the same time it describes the historical background, in which the Arthurian legend and the character of Merlin were born. These two facts are underlying for the enumeration of the occurrences of Merlin in the medieval literature. The description of these texts outlines the evolution of this character, departing from the Welsh prophetic verse, over the Latin texts of Geoffrey of Monmouth to French romans of 12th and 13th century. The presence of Merlin in the Welsh tradition of prophetic verse let guess the relation of this character with Celtic origin, transferred by the oral tradition. The second part of this work, tries to describe the reminiscence of ancient societies (Indo-European and Celtic) that have influenced the cultural and social evolution of important part of Europe. The description of these societies...

King, knight, squire and their virtues according to the Old Czech romance Tristram and Izalda
Kotrbová, Jana ; Fantysová Matějková, Jana (referee) ; Bobková, Lenka (advisor)
The thesis deals with an Old Czech novel in verse Tristram and Izalda. Initially, I examine the genre of chivalric novel in the context of Czech literature of the thirteenth and fourteenth century. I am interested in the view of literary history on these texts and primarily in the assessment of Tristram and Izalda. I pursue the reception of the Tristanian topic in the Czech environment, which has first been introduced to the German versions of this epic. The Old Czech translation from second half of 14th century gains from three German sources that are variously combined. I endeavour to use the novel as a source reflecting the ideological world of the Czech aristocracy of late mediaeval times. I have defined - on the basis of the characters present in the novel - four social groups: rulers, knights and court officials, noble women and servants. On the selected virtues - faithfulness, generosity, wisdom and honour - and social relationships - friendship, marriage and love - I observe the way of their depiction at individual social groups. Each social position carries different expectations. The attribution of characteristic features and the preferred type of behaviour reveal a clear hierarchy. The central character is the knight, to whom the other groups are always specifically related. In my opinion, the...

Latin medieval hagiographie, its structure and influence in Bohemian lands
Izdný, Jakub ; Suchánek, Drahomír (referee) ; Drška, Václav (advisor)
I try to compare latine legends of first European christian monarchs of the early Middle Ages in my work. This way I detected some standard type of hagiographical story with this topic. The conformity lies in the way of acceptation of baptism, appearance of two secondary persons - the wife, who is accepting the sanctity, and the missionary bishop - and not least in using the theme of battle for faith. Especially the character of pious wife seems to be very important in hagiography and implies obviously the realy way of spreading christian religion with the marriage policy. As well important are findings, that despite the quite wide time span between the genesis of the oldest and the latest compared text, amplified by the different historical situation of Germanic and Central European peoples, shows the hagiography considerable similarity and proves the cultural alliance of West and Central Europe.

V bakalářské práci "Portrét "muže" a "ženy" v dílech Mišimy Jukia" se zabývám rozborem mužských a ženských postav v pěti vybraných dílech tohoto autora- ve Zpovědi Masky, Žízni po lásce, Hukotu příboje, Zlatém pavilonu a Odpoledním vlečném člunu. První část práce je věnována rozboru přístupu k tématu a způsobu vnímání literárních postav. Každé z pěti knih se věnuji zvlášť. Čtenáři ulehčuji orientaci v nich uvedením do děje. Dále srovnávám jednotlivé postavy knih a v následující části hledám paralely mezi jednotlivými díly a jejich hlavními postavami. Snažím se je konfrontovat i s osobním prožitkem autora a prolínáním jeho osobnosti do postav. Nedílnou součástí práce je i kapitola uvádějící základní informace ze ·Života autora a osvětlující dobové pozadí a pohnutky, které Mišimu k napsání těchto knih vedly. Navíc v jeho dílech nalézáme i autobiografické prvky, k jejichž porozumění nám Mišimův osobní život slouží. V příloze uvádím seznam vybraných děl a přikládám několik fotografií autora.
