Art as an constitutive element of fictional worlds
Ruml, Lukáš ; Mocná, Dagmar (advisor) ; Kubíček, Tomáš (referee)
The topic of this thesis is visual art as a constitutive element of fictional worlds. The methodological basis is comparative semiotics, or more precisely intermediality research. The aim is to capture some of the possible realisations of intermedial relationships between literature and visual art. The constituent case studies are focused on the ekphrasis represented in the novel Witch Hammer by Václav Kaplický, on the transmediality as a transfer of aesthetics of one medium into another on the example of Josef Čapek's Three Proses which are traditionally perceived as cubist, and on the illustrative relationship between text and picture in František Hrubín's lyrical poems The Night of Job.

Reflection of real life in works of Jiří Orten

From the short life of the poet, the focus is oriented on those facts which might have been crucial for Orten's works: the death of his father, emigration of his brother and unfulfilled relationship with Věra Fingerová. In the last part of the thesis, Orten's experience with the era of the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia is described. It intensively shaped his personality, because he was Jewish. The analysis of the literary and non- literary texts confirmed that the objective world of empirical author gets nearest to the inner world of lyrical subject in the reflection of loss of Orten's brother, Ota Ornest. The death of Eduard Ohrenstein is not a fundamental inspirational source and the motives of love are mostly presented in the sense of loss, therefore it is not easy to refer to particular relationship peripeties with Věra Fingerová. The diaries of Jiří Orten oscillate between fictional and factual literature. As a consequence, it is very difficult to recognize autobiographical entries. The question is, if the term "diary" is a correct one. The fact that Orten...
