Havrdová Fathi, Mai ; Šotolová, Jovanka (advisor) ; Belisová, Šárka (referee)
The topic of the present paper is the translation of the French chanson into Czech. The paper focuses on the analysis of eight lyrics from the repertoire of G. Brassens, J. Brel and E. Piaf (the translators are J. Dědeček, P. Kopta, M. Balejová and S. E. Brandejsová). The paper examines prevailing functional characteristics of the originals and the extent to which these have been maintained in the various Czech translations. Special attention is given to the relation between semantic accuracy and "successful" translations, meaning here translations which maintain the prevailing functional characteristics of the original. Preceding the analysis is the theoretical part of the paper in which we introduce some terms and theoretical models applied by theoreticians in the field of translation (J. Levý, K. Reiss, P. Low), insofar as these terms and models are relevant to the topic.

Soukup, Jiří ; Bílek, Petr (referee) ; Pokorný, Martin (advisor)
The point of departure of this thesis is a detailed research into Kafka's early periodical publications and into the earliest German reception connected to them. The Czech reception, not following until the first Kafka's book, is investigated here in several steps: desribed is as whole the Czech reception during Kafka's lifetime (1913-1923), at large the period before the February Coup d'état (1924-1948) and in a summarizing chapter we focus on the history of Kafka's reception until these days (1948-2010). The typological part of this thesis analyzes then in detail two different philosophical approaches to Kafka: the unsatisfactory Calasso's conception and an original understanding by Matěj Král. The aim is to distinguish productive lines of Kafka's philosophical interpretations through a substantial analysis and critique.

The Pied Piper of Marina Cvětajevová: Genesis, Reception and Translations of Poems with Commentary
Zakiyanov, Oskar ; Hlaváček, Antonín (advisor) ; Hříbková, Radka (referee)
Russian poet Marina Ivanovna Tsvetaeva (1892-1941) is one of the world's most prominent authors of the early 20th century. The Pied Piper (Ratcatcher) is the magnum opus of her work. The aim of my thesis was to literally translate the poem and provide a detailed commentary on the poem. Translation is designed for the future Slavonic Studies, but also for the wider public. The translation is a kind of proposal and could be used as the default text for a possible poetic translation of the poem into Czech. The intention of the commentary is to point out the relationships of the Tsvetaeva's Pied Piper and possible sources of inspiration of the texts of other authors or her own original works. The commentary also explains the concepts specific to the creation of Tsvetaeva and her characteristic individual poetic methods. The commentary, however, provide, nearly no interpretation. It is used only as a supplementary comment on individual parts in order to enable better understanding of the original text and the translation. The first chapters deal with the history of the poem, its genesis, and reception by critics and writers. Followed by technical notes to the translated text, where a reader would find an explanation of the peculiarities of the original text, including syntactic difficulties, which are the clues...

Céline in Bohemia The thesis presents a chronological documentary testimony about the process of acceptance and rejection of one of the most controversial figures of modern literature - not only in Bohemia. The corpus consisting of correspondence discovered, contemporary responses, photos and other documents, built on the base of Céline's life and work, follows the reception of all his writings since the debut to the present. The Czech critical reception (F. X. Šalda, F. Peroutka, J. Vašica, R. Weiner, K. Čapek, B. Hrabal, M. Kundera, underground, etc.) is being set in the international context. The thesis observes the historical and biographical circumstances in which originated Céline's work and that marked Céline's personal story. References to the circumstances, effects and responses in the background are not a complete and systematic thinning: important or interesting célinien sequences are mainly meant to expand and give the possibility of comparison. These Céline's portrait finally shows the shape of the Czech literary atmosphere during the eighty years since the Journey to the End of the Night (1932) until 2010. The first translation of the Céline's first published book Voyage au bout de la nuit was the Czech one (1933), response was huge. But while today Céline is discussed in relation to its...
