This thesis is the monographic study about the literary works of Milada Součková. It addresses methodological issues and includes a detailed interpretation of her literary works. These works are perceived as a literary unity which undergoes various transformations yet it always retains its structural identity. The individual works retain their independence and can be see as complete works in themselves. The integral principle in this exposition is the motive of memory which interlaces the studied material. The exposition was not led by any predefined or previously established methodology, but instead, it was built gradually and with respect to the studied material. The study follows the artistic methods and expressions used by the author while attempting to explain their interna I dependencies. Further, it attempts to emphasize the significant axes which unify the author's individual works, especially with regards to the changes in her cultural and existential status, i.e. her exile to the United States. It gives insight into the poetic structures in Součková's literary opus, which makes possible to draw conclusions about the poetics as well as about other factors external to her literature. Ever since her very first publication, her poetics contain an autobiographical discourse. This is observed, when by...

Brolík, Tomáš ; Šubrt, Jiří (advisor) ; Loužek, Marek (referee)
Bachelor thesis dwells on description of processes of modernization and rationalization in Michel Foucault's works and juxtaposes it to works of classical and postmodern sociologists. In the first, most voluminous part it describes inception of modern discipline and changes of disciplinating institutions (school, garrison house, factory,...) as it Foucault did especially in his book Discipline and Punish. Aside from description of disciplinating techniques it studies Foucault's analysis of power. In the second part the work studies similar topics in works of Max Weber and Norbert Elias. In Weber's thoughts are foremost interesting the modern bureaucracy and self-disciplination in Protestantism. In Elias works it is process of civilization, especially on individual, psychogenetics level. In the third part it dwells on postmodern actualizations of Foucault's conceptions (panoptism, dicsiplinated bodies) in Zygmunt Bauman's works. The last part it tries to find out some interesting accordances and contradictions in works of these authors and it asks whether Foucault's ideas, valid for the time of Enlighting, are valid today as well.

'Drinking wine' by Tao Yuanming
Fuksa, Daniel ; Lomová, Olga (advisor) ; Zádrapa, Lukáš (referee)
Thesis abstract The aim of this thesis is to show the basic meanings of wine (jiu 酒) in some of Tao Yuanming's poems, titles of which contain the word 'wine'. The first chapter of the present work concerns itself with the main question of the thesis as well as the theoretical approaches towards the interpretation of the Chinese poetry and gives a brief biography of Tao Yuanming and the intellectual background of his works. The second chapter with its detailed interpretation of all the poems from Tao Yuanming's series 'Twenty Poems After Drinking Wine' (Yin jiu ershi shou 飲酒二十首) represents the main part of the work. The third chapter is dedicated to the poems 'On Stopping Wine' ( Zhi jiu 止酒) and 'An Account of Wine' (Shu jiu 述酒). The second and third chapter also include an annotated translation of all of the poems into Czech. In the case of the poem 'An Account of Wine', it is the first translation to the Czech language so far. The two remaining chapters deal with the motif of wine and its various meanings in the above-mentioned poems. The work shows that the motif of wine in Tao Yuanming's poems can carry different meanings that might be divided into several categories. Those categories of the motif of wine correspond to the poet's attitudes to life as presented by his works.
