The image of a person with intellectual disabilities in contemporary Polish drama
Rejková, Natálie ; Benešová, Michala (advisor) ; Pátková, Jana (referee)
(in English): The main aim of this thesis is to compare the image of the inner world of characters with mental disabilities and the attitude of the society towards these people in contemporary Polish plays, primarily on the example of the text Debil by Malina Prześluga, which will later be compared with Helverova noc by Ingmar Villqist. The author will focus on the analysis of society's approach to people with mental disabilities, as the aforementioned dramas reflect it, as well as on eventual transformation over time. Attention will also be paid to the depiction of the delayed development of a mentally challenged individual in these plays (for example, speech, solving social situations, e.g. conflicts, understanding the surrounding world).

Formation and use of agentiv nouns in contemporary czech and polish language
Plasová, Anna ; Rusin Dybalska, Renata (advisor) ; Benešová, Michala (referee)
This thesis focusses on the issue of feminine gender agentive nouns formation and use in contemporary Polish, with respect to analogical phenomena in Czech. The theoretical part of the thesis sketches the form and the manner of derivation of the feminine counterparts of agentive nouns, subsequently analysing their socio- political implications (the opposition between masculine and feminine gender, various views concerning the asymmetry in their usage). In contemporary Polish, two antagonistic trends can be delineated, one tabooing and blocking the derived forms, the other, on the contrary, upholding and promoting them. In general, feminine forms are widely used for designations of jobs with lower social prestige; conversely, with respect to professions and honorifics viewed as prestigious, feminization is sparse, and, outside the feminist coterie, viewed as unnatural, inappropriate, even belittling. There are also quite a few nouns that undergo derivation only selectively. This state of affairs is evaluated as substantially different from that in Czech, a language in which feminization is common and normally unmarked. The practical part contains a research carried out on a corpus of texts from the Polish daily newspaper Gazeta Wyborcza from 2006; 18 problematic feminine gender agentive nouns were...

The "World Order" in Gustav Herling-Grudziński's short stories
Petránková, Michaela ; Poslední, Petr (advisor) ; Benešová, Michala (referee)
v anglickém jazyce Reading a story typically involves a question where did this story come into being, where it arose from. Reading Gustaw Herling-Grudziński's short stories involve the answer as well. His texts after a novel A world Apart imply well-founded world order, which suggests, that stories exists in variations yet for centuries in old chronicles, files on historical events, commentaries written by historian and in famous European paintings and other works of arts. The plausibility of such stories is supported by their incessant repeating. Never can they be forgotten inasmuch as they can emerge anytime in present events, most often in the place where the previous story took place. In Gustaw Heling-Grudziński's short stories even the seemingly real place is never the purely mimetic image of a real place. Described landscape combines a representation of real European places with the imaginary space of fiction. In Herling-Grudziński's short stories it means that places have their own inner memory reflected in genius loci. As the narrator perceives them not by vision alone, but also by smell, sound, and so on and they interface with other spaces in literature as well, may such a narrative present itself as a projection of the memory engaged to a particular place. It may fully comprise of...

Running away from and towards form: About form and matter in the works of Witold Gombrowicz and Bruno Schulz
Blažková, Hana ; Benešová, Michala (advisor) ; Gál, Eugen (referee)
Witold Gombrowicz and Bruno Schulz - two Polish authors of the decades between the two world wars - are regarded as prime examples of the Polish avant-garde. The main focus of this thesis, as well as of the work of these two authors, is their approach to form and matter. Schulz describes a world in motion, where matter loses its original form and gains another, everything flourishes, disintegrates and forms again. Gombrowicz's approach is rather socio-psychological, he uses form to reflect on human relations, societal flaws and the creation of a person's identity. The thesis is divided into two parts - "Analysis" and "Synthesis". The Analysis offers a detailed study of the themes of "the absolute girl" and "travel back in time". In this part, I analyze these two motifs as they appear in Gombrowicz's "Ferdydurke" and Schulz's short stories "Spring" and "A Pensioner" as well as in other works by these authors. In Synthesis I argue that both Schulz and Gombrowicz created extraordinarily active literary characters - it is them who cause the disintegration and formation of the world. The final chapter of this thesis called "Analysis and Synthesis and the Beating World" searches for a world not limited by form - its pulse, or rhythm.
