Influence of English and American poetry on Pere Gimferrer's work
Kožnerová, Tereza ; Sánchez Fernández, Juan Antonio (advisor) ; Poláková, Dora (referee) ; Prokop, Josef (referee)
The Catalan poet Pere Gimferrer represents a distinctive personality of the poetry group Novísimos, active mainly in the 1970s. His work was influenced by the reality of life in Spain after the Civil War, especially postism and social poetry. Literary postmodernism also played a significant role in his poetic formation. From the multitude of influences that shaped Pere Gimferrer, this thesis aims to map in detail the influence of the (post)modern poetry of Thomas Stearns Eliot and Ezra Pound on Gimferrer's work. Pere Gimferrer's poetry approaches his models through literary techniques innovative at the time - intertextuality, metapoetry, culturalism, or the use of popular culture elements within the poetic text. The influence of both poets writing in English is mapped on Gimferrer's two magnificent works, namely the poetry collection Arde el mar and the poem L'espai desert.

The bourgeois culture in the novel La Celestina
Šoškolová, Adriena ; Sánchez Fernández, Juan Antonio (advisor) ; Kožnerová, Tereza (referee)
(in English): This bachelor's thesis deals with one of the most famous works of Spanish literature La Celestina. This work is, except many other aspects, well-known for its ability to consummately cover the sociological and cultural situation of Spain. The thesis is focused on features of bourgeois culture in this work, which means middle class. I would like to disprove the semblance, that this social class doesn't appear in this late medieval work and I would like to present proofs, which support it. In view of the fact that the work La Celestina reflects social, economical and cultural situation of its time, it is highly probable that also a theme of bourgeois culture will be sketched out there somehow. The aim of this work is to find features of this newly constituting social class. Further, the work will focuse on the figure of Pleberio, father of Melibea, whose we can consider a legitimate burgher.

Another focus will be put on his concept of the hand-puppet itself, and that is in the light of the process of the so called dehumanization, in other words - the dehumanization of the drama presented by the puppets. Keywords Lorca, hand-puppet, theater, dehumanization.
