The reception of existentialism in the novel Bābā Sartre
Bukovinská, Tatiana ; Provazníková, Adéla (advisor) ; Felčer, Petr (referee)
This bachelor's thesis examines the contemporary Iraqi writer ʿAlī Badr's satirical novel Papa Sartre (Bābā Sartr, 2001) and uses it as a vehicle to explore the reception of existentialism in the Arab world. The protagonist, ʿAbd ar-Raḥmān, passes himself off as an existentialist par excellence, but his shallow understanding of philosophy is disclosed as the plot progresses. After a brief historical and theoretical introduction, the thesis introduces the novel and then analyzes the techniques the author uses both to create a realistic impression and to ridicule the entire generation of Iraqi intellectuals of the 1960s. The novel's satire is formed through the mockery of the reception of the main themes of existentialism (nausea, alienation, freedom). As a key to understanding the satirical depiction of the philosophy, this thesis observes the changes between the original existentialist themes and the mocked outcome. Key Words Existentialism - Iraq - Jean-Paul Sartre - Bābā Sārtr - 1960s

Péder, Maxmilián ; Ondráš, František (advisor) ; Felčer, Petr (referee)
The aim of this bachelor's thesis is to show how political motifs are reflected in Nizār Qabbanī's love poetry. Based on the poet's work, the thesis will analyze selected political motifs in the context of the poet's life, his intellectual outlook and socio-political development in Syria and the Arab world. The work is divided into three parts. The first part discusses the philosophical framework of Qabbānī's work, especially in relation to his contemporary Adonis, and presents linguistic elements that can well illustrate the process of integrating the sphere of politics into love poetry in the author's work. The second part presents several major historical events that influenced the author's political views and the poet's insight into these, as well as the poet's criticism of Arab political regimes and their authoritarian practices. The last part analyzes the poet's work as a whole and shows the ways in which the poet's politically oriented verses are intertwined with his love poetry. Keywords: Nizar Qabbani, Kabbani, Adonis, Love poetry, Six-Day war, Women's freedom 5

The Civil War through Lebanese Cinema
Felčer, Petr ; Ondráš, František (advisor) ; Bielický, Viktor (referee)
The topic of the present diploma work is the representation of the civil conflict in Lebanese cinema. The work is divided into two parts. The first one provides an overview of the historical and discursive contexts of the last two civil wars in Lebanon (1958 and 1975-1991) and describes how these events are reflected in the work of Lebanese filmmakers. The second part of the diploma work focuses on the war period cinematography, generally less known due to the long public unavailability of a large part of the film production of that time. Four feature fictions made between 1975 and 1985 are selected for a more detailed analysis, more precisely by those filmmakers that are considered to be the pioneers of a new auteur cinema in Lebanon: Mārūn Baġdādī, Burhān ˁAlawīya and Jocelyne Ṣaˁb. The chosen method is the semiotic analysis focusing on characterisation features of the film characters and on conflicting oppositions present in the films. Key words: civil war, civil conflict, Lebanese cinema, fiction film, semiotic analysis, connotation.
