"Gâtée par le monde." Princess Alexandra of Dietrichstein's literary oeuvre
MUSILOVÁ, Martina
The thesis deals with a handwritten literary oeuvre by Francophone noblewoman Alexandra of Dietrichstein, born Shuvalov, which represents, by its extent, the unique case for the Bohemian lands. In what follows we interpret Princess Alexandra of Dietrichstein's political, religious, social and her literary opinions as well as her conception of sentiment and love on the basis of nine literary texts. Each of them represents a different genre there are short stories, novellas, novels and an educational treatise. Furthermore, her work originated within Francophone aristocratic culture in the Romantic period. Primarily, we focus on the development of the Francophone culture in Russia. Thanks to methods of cultural history and literary analysis of aesthetic norms we were able to demonstrate how her literary work developed over time in terms of ethics and aesthetics and point at the influence of the political and cultural changes in the period called in the Bohemian lands "in between times".

Work on collaborative authorial performance
Van Wagenenová, Kateřina ; MUSILOVÁ, Martina (advisor) ; POTUŽÁKOVÁ, Markéta (referee)
This thesis follows the genesis of three authorial performances, that I and my partners created in collaboration during my study at the Department of authorial creativity and pedagogy DAMU. From the perspective of my own experience I am trying to monitor the specifics of such cooperation, the issues of rehearsing and performing with a fixed script and without a fixed script but with a list of points/a score instead. I am describing the influence of impulses and reflections from pedagogues given to us during our quest and I am also mentioning the working methods and exercises used when discovering the performance and my reflections of rehearsals.
DVD of the three performances and two examples of point scripts is attached. One of which of a performance described in this thesis, the other of a solo authorial/devising work is attached for comparison.

Trojan, Václav ; Vyskočil, Ivan (advisor) ; Musilová, Martina (referee)
The author of this paper is attempting to take advantage of the principles studied at the Department of Authorial Creation and Pedagogy, and utilise it for the purpose of writing a text. Through an experimental approach, he is trying to find answers on how to develop the ability to reflect one's self during such a process, what factors could be present in the process, and the ability to integrate the new knowledge into further activity.

A cycle about love written by Princess Alexandra of Dietrichstein, married Countess Schouwaloff: German Love, Italian Love, Russian Love, Swiss Love.
MUSILOVÁ, Martina
The bachelor thesis focuses on selected literary pieces written in French by Alexandrine Schouwaloff, married Dietrichstein (1775-1847), a noblewoman of Russian descent. The handwritten works survived in Dietrichstein´s Family Archives in the Moravian Land Archives in Brno. The first part of the thesis concentrates on life of the countess. I have felt the necessity of describing the turn of the Eighteenth and Nineteenth century, its cultural milieu where the writer lived as well as her background and later life when she wrote her books. The following part presents the author's writings of literary and personal nature. The love cycle contains four novellas - German Love, Italian Love, Russian Love, Swiss Love - which are analyzed based on genre, themes and narrative. The analysis and interpretation of selected excerpts reveal the applied linguistic method and its function in the text. The objective of my thesis is to introduce the writer as an unknown artist, integrate her within the literary and historical framework of her period and reveal at least a small part of her unpublished literary heritage.
