Sebastiano Serlio, Libro estraordinario and renaissance and manneristic portals in Prague
Ludvíková, Veronika ; Konečný, Lubomír (advisor) ; Muchka, Ivan (referee)
Sebastiano Serlio is one of the most notable theoreticians of Renaissance architecture. He is sometimes also referred to as the first theoretician of Mannerism in architecture. The present thesis is first concerned with Serlio's predecessor, the ancient theoretician of architecture Vitruvius. It points out Vitruvius' key thoughts, especially the ones which most potently influenced the work of Sebastiano Serlio. The thesis further relates to Serlio's life and the important moments of his life either during his stay in his homeland, Italy, or later in France. The greatest feat of Serlio in the domain of architecture is his theoretical work: a tractate on architecture published successively in volumes. Serlio's contribution lies chiefly in the formulation of the five orders of architecture and also in his capability of captivating the reader, the use of a language level familiar to a wide audience, and the clarity of the information given. Such literary qualities are also characteristic of the "Libro estraordinario" (the"Extraordinary Book", or the "Outstanding Book") which is of particular attention in the present thesis. "Libro estraordinario" is solely devoted to a single architectonic element: the portal. It consists of two parts: "Porte rustiche" and "Porte dilicate". Each portal type is provided with a...

Raš, Jakub ; Vaněk, Václav (advisor) ; Merhaut, Luboš (referee)
In this thesis we deal with interpretation of the late lyric poetry of Antonin Sova (1864-1928). The late work is represented by collections Zpěvy domova (Songs of Homeland, 1918), Krvácející bratrství - Rozjímání ranní i navečerní (The Bleeding Brotherhood - Evening and Morning Meditations, 1920), Básníkovo jaro (The Poet's Spring, 1921), Básně nesobeckého srdce (The Poems of the Unselfish Heart, 1922), Jasná vidění (The Clear Visions, 1922), Naděje i bolesti (Hopes and Pains, 1924) and Drsná láska (The Rough Love, 1927), the posthumously released sets of Sova's poems from the years 1922 to 1928 called Hovory věcí (Talk of Things, 1929) and Za člověkem (To Man, 1930), then several poems contained in a book of Píseň o Rovnosti (The Song of Equality, 1951) and poems that Sova published between 1918-1919 in a satirical magazine called Šibeničky (The Small Gallows). Author's poetry is divided into four groups: 1) nature poetry, 2) intimate poetry, 3) social poetry and 4) selfreflexive poetry. In the analysis we focus on the lyrical subject - that is, to what is spoken (themes and motives), but also how to speak about in sense of epistemology (knowledge and their articulation) and axiology (values and attitudes), which often results in more or less complex models of the central ideas of reality like man, life...
