Nikolaj Terlecký's Literary Legacy in Czech Literature
Nováková, Natálie ; Kosáková, Hana (advisor) ; Flaišman, Jiří (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to present the personality and unpublished work of the two-housed author Nikolai Terlecký, who emigrated to Czechoslovakia as part of the so-called Russian Aid Operation. In Czechoslovakia, he briefly became a member of the Skit group of Russian emigrant writers, making his debut with a collection of short stories Six Meters of a Smile, translated from Russian by Marie Majerová, but gradually Terlecký mastered Czech so much that he was able to publish on his own. After emigrating to Austria in 1965, he settled permanently in Zurich, Switzerland, where he continued his literary work as a Czech writer in exile and published with other exiles at the Confrontation, later Cramerius and Index. The thesis tries to present Nikolai Terlecký as a still current author, whose work is not fully published in the Czech republic. And as V. Novotný writes in Literary Counterpoints: "readers still do not know all his books in exile or his texts from the estate." Thisšthesis would like to change this fact, it is based mainly on archival materials (unpublished poems, short stories, dramas, novels and modest correspondence) found in the Monument of National Literature in the collections of N. Terlecký, J. Vladislav, J. Gessen and other well-known cultural figures.

Political orientation in the juvenile production of the Orten-Bednář generation
Bartochová, Lucie ; Flaišman, Jiří (advisor) ; Wiendl, Jan (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with Orten-Bednář generation and the juvenile production of its authors in the students' magazine named Mladá kultura. The main focus of the thesis is on the description of Mladá kultura as a profiled students' magazine, to which the core part of the future Orten-Bednář generation (Kamil Bednář, Jiří Daniel, Jiří Orten, Josef Lederer, Ivan Blatný) contributed. Then the thesis focuses on the description of single volumes of Mladá kultura to depict the development and analyse the magazine's belletristic and journalistic contributions. In the subsequent part the thesis tries to depict the transfiguration and disposal of ideology of the authors' poems portrayed on the examples of single authors' poems from Mladá kultura and Jarní almanach básnický 1940, which we consider the first collective attempt of this generation. The annotated bibliography with the author and subject indexes are included in the thesis.

The Hidden Avant-Garde. Czech Avant-Garde Fiction between Individualism and Collectivism
Malá, Zuzana ; Janoušek, Pavel (advisor) ; Hrbata, Zdeněk (referee) ; Flaišman, Jiří (referee)
in English This work focuses on the Czech afterwar avant-garde and its fiction in the wider European context. The main goal of our writing was diversifying literary historical field by integrating genre of short story and its authors into the interpretive frame of the prepoetistic avant-garde. We could intrude a canonic picture of the Czech avant-garde by enriching the interpretive frame of the new genre (short story) and new, often hardly known or forgotten, writers. Last but not least by doing so we were able to questioned and problematized basic oppositions such as expressionism × avant-garde, and mainly individualism × collectivism. We introduce the principal opposition individualism × collectivism, which in our opinion, organizes afterwar literary discourse, as a main connecting line between Czech avant-garde art and European art (collective and one of its manifestation - crowd, as one of the main themes of modernism and avant-garde). We interpretate beyond this scope the fictions of French unanimism as the main inspiration of the Czech afterwar avan-garde and its (collective) fiction as well.

"1920 AD" (An advent of the youngest generation of poets at the beginning of 1920s)
Flaišman, Jiří ; Wiendl, Jan (advisor) ; Brabec, Jiří (referee) ; Merhaut, Luboš (referee)
The work" 1920 AD" presents a literary historical analysis of poetry written by authors, who entered Czech literature shortly after the Great War. The attention is devoted in particular to the poets who were born at the turn of the century and made their literary debuts in the so called first wave, i. e. 1919-1920. The work treats their literary endeavours on the background of wider literary context, and concentrates mainly on the first creative period of this generation, the period 1919-1922/23. An emphasis is put on the analysis of particular traits of the works (such as lyric Ich, subject-matter, verse structure, metamorphoses of the poetic language etc.). The author strives to abstract from the interpretations which perceive the period exclusively as a time, when the conceptions of proletarian poetry and Avant-garde were formed. On the contrary, while interpreting the works, he attempts to see them within all the plurality and possibilities of contemporary poetry. The work discusses individual creative development of the authors who have so far remained mostly unnoticed by literary scholars (Carek, Chalupa, Jirko, Nemec, Pokorny, Suk, Stejskal, Vladyka) and considers their juvenilia and poetry published in literary journals which was not included in their collections. Furthemore, the work treats the...

The possibilities digital edition
Kosák, Michal ; Flaišman, Jiří
This article presents an analysis of the particular features of the digital scholarly edition with regard to the possibilities of presentation, the conception of its organization, methodology, and the tools of editorial work. The article therefore first assesses the relationship between the traditional printed scholarly edition and the digital edition. It then presents an analysis of the topic of the digital publication of a text, and charts out the theoretical and the practical approaches to digital editions, particularly more complicatedly conceived ones, such as databases, archives, and scholarly editions. It does so while bearing in mind the possibilities and limitations of digital publishing. Different types of digital editions are then classified from the perspective of the discipline of editing, and basic terms from the discipline are judged, including the concepts of the choice of urtext, the canonical text, the forms of critical apparatus, and commentary. The article then considers the possibilities of digital processing for the needs of special textual analyses. The article is based on actual experience with the planning and preparing of digital editions, for example, the full-text databases of the Česká elektronická knihovna (Czech digital library) and the Kritické hybridní edice (Critical scholarly editions) — namely, the works of František Gellner (2014) and an electronic edition (2015) of Richard Weiner’s Rozcestí (Crossroads, 1918).
