Traces of the Italian Renaissance in Pär Lagerkvist's Dvärgen
Mrva, Jan ; Stahr, Radka (advisor) ; Humpál, Martin (referee)
The present bachelor thesis deals with the novel The Dwarf by the Swedish writer Pär Lagerkvist. The novel, published in 1944, is one of the important works of the so-called mobilization literature, which reflects the political and social situation in Europe during World War II. However, Lagerkvist incorporated many references to Renaissance Italy in The Dwarf, which are the focus of this thesis. The first section outlines the author's work and, in particular, the motif of the conflict between good and evil that is central to Lagerkvist throughout his work. Subsequently, the thesis presents a definition of the Renaissance based on the insights of Jacob Burckhardt and Václav Černý, which are used to analyse Renaissance references in literary space and time, as well as in the case of selected characters. The aim of the thesis is to show that the novel The Dwarf can be read from several perspectives: on the one hand, it represents a contribution to mobilization literature; on the other hand, the work can be seen as a historical novel full of factual data referring specifically to Renaissance Italy. Keywords Pär Lagerkvist, Dwarf, Renaissance, beredskapslitteratur, Swedish Literature

The Subjunctive and Indicative Mood in Object Clauses in Italian and Portuguese
Rudolfová, Michaela ; Svobodová, Petra (advisor) ; Mrva, Jan (referee)
The use of the subjunctive and indicative moods is a crucial chapter of Portuguese and Italian grammar. However, there are certain differences in both languages, therefore the aim of this thesis is to compare in which situations the use is identical and where it differs. Due to the breadth of the topic the thesis focuses specifically on object clauses. We begin by providing the general definition of object clauses. We explore their form and then proceed in detail to which tenses and moods may occur in this type of subordinate clause. Afterwards, we concentrate on the specifics of object clauses in Italian and Portuguese contexts respectively. Firstly, we define the situations in which the indicative mood is used in this type of clause in both languages. Secondly, we move onto subjunctive contexts, starting with situations where the use is identical and then proceeding to the differences. Finally, we verify these differences via corpus analysis.

Passive Bilingualism within the Iberian Peninsula
Mrva, Jan ; Kratochvílová, Dana (advisor) ; Čermák, Petr (referee)
(in English) The aim of this diploma thesis is to describe the current state of passive bilingualism on the Iberian Peninsula, from the point of view of native monolingual Spanish speakers in contact with Galician, Catalan, Basque, and Portuguese langauges. The thesis consists of two parts - theoretical and practical. In the theoretical part, it tries to describe bilingualism, its perception throughout history and other concepts that are directly related to it in a comprehensive way. The key topic which is analysed is, however, receptive/passive bilingualism. For better context, it also focuses on the sociolinguistic development of the (co)official languages of the Iberian Peninsula from a diachronic perspective and, concurrently, language policy involved. In the practical part, it establishes the hypothesis which is later being demonstrated on the results of the original internet survey. Later on, proceeds to comment and evaluate them.
