The vision of Mongolian countryside on examples of the culturally specific expressions in the novel of C'. Lodojdamba, Tungalag Tamir
Makúch, Branislav ; Kapišovská, Veronika (advisor) ; Oberfalzerová, Alena (referee)
Tato práce se zabývá užitím tzv. "kulturně specifick-ých výrazů" v románě Tungalag Tamír (Průzračný Tamír) spisovatele C'adraabalyna Lodoidamby. "Kulturně specifické výrazy" jsou takové části řeči, které jsou srozumitelné výlučně pro danou kulturu. Těsně souvisejí s životem a myšlením příslušníků oné kultury a vycházejí z jejích charakteristik. Tyto výrazy vlastně označují jisté pojmy, jisté myšlenkové obrazy, které - pokud jsou správně dešifrovány - mohou nám pomoci proniknout hlouběji do dané kultury a lépe ji pochopit. V této práci se budu především zamýšlet nad mírou přeložitelnosti těchto výrazů skrze interpretaci každého daného výrazu. Vývody, které z takového zkoumání povedou, by měly být v budoucnu dobře využitelné k překladové praxi, a tím by měly pomoci ke správnějšímu zprostředkování mongolské kultury českým čtenářům. Při své metodologii jsem se nechal inspirovat knihou PhDr. Aleny Oberfalzerové: Metaphors and Nomads. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Soňa Bendíková:Soňa Bendíková:Soňa Bendíková:Soňa Bendíková: Kotas of Blue Mountains: Myths and LegendsKotas of Blue Mountains: Myths and LegendsKotas of Blue Mountains: Myths and LegendsKotas of Blue Mountains: Myths and Legends AbstractAbstractAbstractAbstract The dissertation The Kotas from the Blue Mountains: Myths and Legends deals with the tradition of the Kota tribe living in the Nilgiri mountain range in southern India. The work discusses the oral tradition of the tribe on the background of the regional development in the last two centuries. The Kotas used to live symbiotically with a few other local tribes with whom they developed a unique system of barter trade and services. The microregion remained isolated until new settlers started to arrive from the valley (in the beginning of 19th century). The arrival of the people from the valley and of the English people in the course of the last two hundred years caused a significant change of all aspects of life in the Blue Mountains: economic, social, cultural and ecological. This work has two aims: (i) to interpret the results of my fieldwork and to analyze the recordings of the remnants of the oral heritage of the tribe with approximately 2,000 members, and to do it on the background of the changes in the area; and (ii) to determine whether and how...

The most important Toraja rituals and their current form
Budiman, Michaela ; Oberfalzerová, Alena (advisor) ; Dubovská, Zorica (referee) ; Remešová, Blanka Michaela (referee)
The presented doctoral thesis called The Most Important Toraja Rituals and Their Current Form deals with the ethnic group of Toraja, who inhabit the province of Tana Toraja, located in the southern part of the Indonesian island of Sulawesi. The work presents Toraja culture with a focus on two of the most important rituals - funerals and weddings. The goal is to outline the original form of these rituals and to capture the major social and religious changes in Toraja society since the Dutch missionaries first entered the area of present day Tana Toraja at the beginning of the 20th century. The Dutch introduced Christianity to the Toraja people, who until then adhered to their autochthonous religion Aluk Todolo. Almost all of the Toraja people gradually converted to Christianity, though they did not fully leave behind their original customs. In this work, I advert to how much the newly accepted Christianity influenced contemporary Toraja rituals, with an emphasis on the shift in their form and meaning. The work is based mostly on the field research; I implemented the method of concentrated observation. I also conducted and recorded many interviews with local people. After returning from the field, I analysed all of the collected text, voice, and video materials. Based on its analysis and the specialized...

The objective of the work is a structured description of the living oral tradition concerning the history of Altain Uriankhais based on my own fieldwork. The processing of the recorded oral tradition includes a partial transcription and translation of the recordings and an attempt to systematically describe the content of the oral tradition, its formal features and the meaning for the tradition bearers. As a main criterium to describe the content of the oral tradition I chose personalities of the local history, secondarily genealogies and the issue of migrations. On the example of partial case studies, I assess the information provided by the oral tradition in comparison with preserved archive sources. Keywords: Altain Uriankhais, Oirats, oral tradition, oral history, Mongolian studies
