Metafictional narrative strategies of two Cervantes' Exemplary Novels
Krátká, Tereza ; Holub, Jiří (advisor) ; Sánchez Fernández, Juan Antonio (referee)
The aim of the work is to sum up main function of the metafictional narrative strategies in two Cervantes' Exemplary Novels - The dialogue between Scipio and Berganze and The deceitful marriage. At the beginning, the text is focused on composition of both novels, mainly on their narrative structure. In the next part, the work is concentrated on analysis of reminiscences relevant - as for novels' genre, language and style - for interpretation of metaficitonal narrative with respect to the period of baroque upcoming. Then, the narrative structure is compared with Cervantes' novel Don Quijote which is based on the same type of narrative strategy. The author comes to the conclusion that the primary function of the metafictional narrative strategies is a possibility to interpret the question of the truth in relation to the baroque reality of the 17th century in Spain. The main importance of the work is presentation of a detailed narrative scheme of two novels, up to now absent in majority of theoretical works aimed at Exemplary Novels composition. Key words: Miguel de Cervantes, Dialogue between Scipio and Berganze, El coloquio de los perros, metafiction, intertextuality, credibility, narrative strategies.

The Internet and socially disadvantaged people
Krátká, Tereza ; Lupač, Petr (advisor) ; Sedláčková, Markéta (referee)
The work deals with the issue of relations between social disadvantage (defined in four dimensions - economic, cultural, social and personal resources) and digital disadvantage of people in the Czech Republic (data from the Aktér 12 - 2011 research; 1106 respondents aged 18 to 89). The main hypothesis of the study verifies these assumptions: 1) socially disadvantaged persons will be more affected by digital disadvantage than people socially included; 2) regular use of Internet aids in overcoming mainly personal and cultural disadvantages; 3) social and digital inclusion correlate positively with some specific types of social and digital disadvantage. The research outputs confirm a strong positive relationship between social disadvantage (in its economic dimension) and digital disadvantage. In terms of cultural disadvantage/inclusion both the group of digitally disadvantaged and the group of digitally included are at the same level. Positive correlation between specific types of social/digital disadvantage and social/digital inclusion was not confirmed - socially included individuals do not show any significant signs of digital disadvantage; and socially disadvantaged people do not indicate any specific features of digital inclusion. Key words: Internet, digital disadvantage, digital divide, social...

The link between work conditions and subjective health in the Czech Republic
Krátká, Tereza ; Hamplová, Dana (advisor) ; Kuchař, Pavel (referee)
The relationship between health and working conditions represents an important topic of sociologic research. Still, in the Czech context this theme has not been sufficiently dealt with. This work's aim is to contribute to the research in the branch, to offer a detail study of the relationship between subjective health and working conditions. Firstly, the theoretical part of the text offers definitions of the concepts subjective health and working conditions. Secondly, there are defined three hypotheses about the relationship between the categories subjective health and working conditions. Then, the hypotheses are tested using contingency tables and regression analysis. Afterwards, there is offered a comparison between the study's conclusions and outputs of similar foreign works. The results of the analysis correspond with those reached in foreign context - in comparison with unemployed, economically active people feel them healthier. Using the regression model, significant influence of education on this relationship was proved. Other testing brought a conclusion that people working in difficult conditions evaluate their health worse than people who do not have to cope with hard working conditions. There was not proved a significant difference between men and women in evaluation of subjective health...

Krátká, Tereza ; SEIDL, Jiří (advisor) ; HERMAN, František (referee)
The title of my diploma thesis is Bassoon in chamber music of Bohuslav Martinů. The thesis is mapping Bohuslav Martinů's chamber work for the bassoon, namely the circumstances of the creation of compositions, premieres or recordings. Another point of study is the selection of several interpretatively interesting parts of bassoon excerpts and their assessment from an interpreter point of view. In the first chapter I deal with the personality of Bohuslav Martinů in particular periods of his life with references to the most important compositions and professional influences. In the next chapter there is a catalog of chamber works for the bassoon of Bohuslav Martinů with informations on the origin and premieres of the compositions. There are also sheet music examples of interesting parts in the excerpts of the bassoon and their interpretative specifics.

Instinct and Society in Emilia Pardo Bazán's novels
Melmuková, Tereza ; Sánchez Fernández, Juan Antonio (advisor) ; Krátká, Tereza (referee)
(in English) The aim of this work is to analyze the selected aspects of the novel The House of Ulloa and The Mother Nature. The chosen aspects represent the motive of society and the motive of instinct. Thus, the thesis focuses on the description of the situations that arise from these two motives and subsequently tries to analyze them. This process relies on the movement of naturalism and the application of its methods explains the analyzed situations. It takes into account the different concepts of this movement that have been acquired in the country of the author of the novels in some aspects of different values than in the country from which the movement originated. This work first describes the basic characteristics of naturalism, briefly introduces the biographical data of the author of the novels, and then shortly introduces the analyzed novels that serve for a better orientation in the subject. That allows us to reach the core part of this work, namely the description and the analysis of the interactions between the motives of instinct and nature.

The feminine character in El final del juego by Julio Cortázar
Hubáčková, Ema ; Poláková, Dora (advisor) ; Krátká, Tereza (referee)
(in English) I have decided to dedicate my final thesis to a very important Argentinian author, translator and intellectual, Julio Cortázar. This work is based on one of his most important publications, Final del juego, concretely on the position of the women that are included in the stories of this publication. We can notice that Cortázar places a woman almost in every part of this book, but she is always seen in a negative way. This work is not written from the point of view of a feminist ideology. This thesis tries to compare the author's technique of writing with the one generally used in his era. We are going to analyze some concrete short stories from our corpus and we will search for the answer to why in some cases the work of Cortázar differs from other authors of that era and in what does it differ. The goal of this work is not only to analyze his work and present his ideas, but also to search for the possible roots and cause of his style of writing in such negative way about the women. Not only are we going to study his biography, but also the greek mythology and other aspects.

Then, the text continues by analysis of six Borges' books mentioned above reflecting five most important Argentinian motives - pampa, gaucho, compadrito, Buenos Aires and its suburbs and dictator. The author notices different attitudes to Argentinian topic and concludes that Argentina symbolizes very important theme, which is influenced also by Borges' predecessors (e. g. Sarmiento, Hernández or Lugones). Key words: Jorge Luis Borges, Argentinian literary tradition, cultural identity, textual analyse, Buenos Aires, suburb, pampa, compadrito, dictator.
