Use of Autobiographical Motifs in Works of Edgar Dutka, Eliška Vlasáková and Antonín Bajaja
Pokorná, Jitka ; Janoušek, Pavel (advisor) ; Hrabáková, Jaroslava (referee)
The work confronts prosaic pieces with noticeable autobiographical features. It deals namely with works of Edgar Dutka, Eliška Vlasáková and Antonín Bajaja. It was not a coincidence to choose right these three Czech authors. They have quite a few features in common. They all belong to the same generation. They are born in the 40's of the 20th century, so they have spent an essential part of their lives (childhood, adolescence and substantial part of their working age) in the second half of the 20th century - in the time of political convulsions and social changes. A childhood spent during this period has become their common literary theme. They all make their memories a literary piece. Each of them does it in a different way and with a different amount of accuracy. Their inspiration comes from their real life, from their memories. The next common feature of these three authors is that they all wrote some of their texts without a vision to make them public. They wrote them for themselves. Book editions were carried out after the year 2000. Last but not least mutual fact is that all of these three authors have been nominated for a prestigious literary price. Edgar Dutka's works show the interdigitation of fictional worlds and also the diffusion of these worlds in the real life of the author. Eliška...

Detective stories in the sixties in Czech literature
Veselá, Jaroslava ; Janoušek, Pavel (advisor) ; Mocná, Dagmar (referee)
Sixties was a special period in the history of Czech literature, because during these years popular literature (especially the detective stories) was written as an artistic literature. During the sixties a lot of detective novels with artistic value were written. In the past (especially during the fifties), vacation literature was considered bad. In the first half of the sixties mainly socialist detective stories were written. There were important political opinions of the author. Socialist authors celebrated police work. In the late sixties detective stories under the Anglo-Saxon tradition were written. For authors, it was important to respect the rules of writing crime fiction. They thought that crime novels people read just for fun. At the end of the sixties detective stories have never had such a good position in the literature. KEYWORDS Czech literature in sixties, vacation literature, detective novel, Anglo-Saxon detective novel, socialist detective novel.

Dramatization of Ivan Olbracht's novel the Bandit Nikolai Shuhai
Mládková, Nela ; Janoušek, Pavel (advisor) ; Brožová, Věra (referee)
ENGLISH SUMMARY In my diploma thesis called The Dramatization of Ivan Olbracht's novel The Bandit Nikolai Shuhai I have concentrated primarily on the adaptation most appreciated by readers as well as, in my opinion, the adaptation of the best quality. In chapter one I focused on Olbracht's novel, precisely on the theme genesis in The Bandit Nikolai Shuhai, which was based on a real-life event. The public responses on the book, which was awarded the state prize for a literary work of art in 1933, are reflected as well. We also deal with blending of the myth with reality, the language and stylistic processing of the novel, and with the main protagonists. Personally, I consider Olbracht's The Bandit Nikolai Shuhai one of the greatest pieces within the Czech literature of 20th century. There are two reasons for which the theme of the novel became a good-quality and favourite basis for further processing: it tells an engaging story of a real-life figure and it is situated in a place which impresses us, Europeans, with enchanting exoticism of its landscape and culture. Chapter two deals with the work of Petr Ulrych which was inspired by Olbracht's novel. Ulrych's first product based on this literary work was a monothematic LP The Bandit Nikolai Shuhai (released in 1974). A year later those thirteen songs were...

Self-stylization in the Work of Ludvík Vaculík
Stejskalová, Klára ; Janoušek, Pavel (advisor) ; Brožová, Věra (referee)
Cílem této práce je interpretovat způsoby autostylizace v díle Ludvíka Vaculíka. Teoretická část se zabývá problémem: 1. stylizace a autostylizace, způsobu transformace životního materiálu v umělecké dílo; 2. autora, autorského subjektu a budování sebemýtu; 3. autenticity v literatuře a možnosti autenticity v deníkové literatuře. Na základě Vaculíkova literárního, ne publicistického, díla jsem se pokusila odhalit princip jeho autostylizace. Charakterizovala jsem postavu "Vaculíka" - autorského subjektu, postavy, která tematicky odkazuje k samotnému autorovi, jako jedinou postavu, kterou Ludvík Vaculík vystavěl pomocí svého díla, a tak i vystavěl svůj obraz (mýtus) v očích čtenáře. Snažila jsem se postihnout základní postoje a role, které jsou pro postavu "Vaculíka" typické. Tyto postoje a role se v různých obměnách vyskytují v celém jeho díle, a proto lze dobře zkoumat jejich shody, vývoj, změny i rozdíly. Mezi typické postoje jsem zařadila individualismus, subjektivismus, upřímnost, k typickým rolím patří kritik, moralista, pozorovatel, partner, milenec, manžel. Dále se zabývám jeho vztahem k řádu, společnosti, ženám, sexu, sobě samému. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

The bottomless pit: the diverse portrayal of the miner as the subject in Czech literature
Sedlářová, Barbora ; Janoušek, Pavel (advisor) ; Mravcová, Marie (referee)
The main topic of this thesis is a portrait of the miner as a character in Czech literature. It follows some of the selected pieces, which begin at the start of 20th century leading up to 1978. The pieces are separated into three main groups (social novels of the 1st half of 20th century, drama from the 50's and the novels of the Czech political detainee). There are a couple of aspects that reflect the method of portrayal of the miner and its process; firstly, its the relationship between the narrator and the character, and secondly, the variation can be found within four aspects of the character of the miner - the visual aspect, activity, surroundings and language. There is a note about the authors at the beginning of every chapter.

Karel Krejčí's Comparative Approaches in his Understanding of Czech and Polish Literature
Matějková, Veronika ; Janoušek, Pavel (advisor) ; Svatoň, Vladimír (referee) ; Trávníček, Jiří (referee)
The thesis documents and interprets the conflict between the literary discourses of the time on the one hand, and the specific approach of Karel Krejčí (1904-1979), comparatist, Slavist and Czech studies scholar, on the other hand. Based on the Krejčí's studies on literary history and comparative literature, as well as his participation in the methodological debates of his time, the thesis analyses the impact of this conflict on the author's literary theory method, and his work of a literary historian and comparatist in general. The analysis is based on the ambiguous reception of Krejčí's scientific work: while he is recognised as a great personality in the field of Slavic studies, he is considered an outsider in the general context of Czech literary science. The thesis describes how the author, with his methodological approach, was in opposition to the prevailing trend. As a Slavic studies scholar he criticised the 'influence science' and positivist methods employed in the field. In the period between the two world wars he inclined towards the sociology of literature, although this discipline did not become popular. While he was interested in phenomenology and formalism, he defended his 'historical-sociological' approach against structuralism, which was gaining ground. In the 1950s Krejčí wrote a...

Jewishness and Czechness in the Work of Viktor Fischel
Kodet, Jan ; Janoušek, Pavel (advisor) ; Brožová, Věra (referee)
Diplomová práce Židovství a češství v díle Viktora Fischla pohlíží na vybraná díla tohoto spisovatele s akcentem na problematiku židovství a češství. Věnuje se tvorbě člověka, jenž musel dvakrát emigrovat z rodné země, a zamýšlí se nad tím, jak jako syn židovských rodičů ve svém díle vlastní židovství reflektoval. Po úvodní části Dva domovy Viktora Fischla věnované autorově biografii je v tematickém oddílu Básník Viktor Fischl představena Fischlova poezie. Práce nahlíží na rozdíly mezi sbírkami, které básník napsal před válkou v Čechách a za války v emigraci. V části Prozaik Viktor Fischl je zachyceno autorovo hledání Boha tváří v tvář holocaustu. V povídkách zasazených do koloritu svatého města odhaluje, jak se autor dotýká židovské mentality, židovských zvyků a obyčejů a neopomíjí ani soudobou otázku napětí mezi Židy a Palestinci. O Fischlově češství pak vypovídá motiv krásy rodinných vztahů, Praha a archetyp české vesnice. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)
