The forms of original contemporary Finnish drama in the period of years 1995-2007
Salmela, Alexandra ; Lindroosová, Hilkka (advisor) ; Velkoborsky, Jan Petr (referee)
My master's thesis' goal is to introduce the contemporary Finnish drama to that Czech and Slovak speaking reader, who might be interested in Finland and its culture. The emphasis of my master's thesis is the theme of the contemporary Finnish drama and its placement into a broader social context. Whilst the contemporary Finnish drama is a broad term, I first had to determine the corpus of my investigation. I have decided to limit the time period by the year 1995, when Finland seemed to definitelly get over the grievous economical crisis of the early 1990s and became a member of the European Union, the upper boarder was the present years of writing the thesis, that is 2007/2008. Then, I only deal with the dramas originally written in Finnish language, thus there are some remarkable Finnish Swedish playwrights missing from this master's thesis. On the grounds of genre and originality of the dramatic texts I have decided not to be concerned with any other texts than the original dramatic texts such as adaptations of prosaic works, benefitions, poetic montages, musicals, etc. On the basis of target group I have excluded the plays for young and fairy tales. I thus decided to concentrate on a corpus consisting of original dramatic plays for adults that are of certain artistic quality and statement value and were...

Czech literature in Finland (1993-2004)
Šroub, Jaroslav ; Dlask, Jan (advisor) ; Velkoborsky, Jan Petr (referee)
Hlavním cílem mé diplomové práce bylo sestavit bibliografický seznam děl české literatury vydaných vobdobí 1993-2004, a především zpracovat přijetí této tvorby finskou kritikou. Během svého pobytu ve Finsku v období září - prosinec 2004 jsem věnoval maximální úsilí shromáždění co největšího počtu recenzí, jejichž seznam je rovněž dílčím výsledkem této práce. Množství kritických ohlasů na určité dílo i dokresluje zájem recenzentů o něj. Vzhledem k velkému počtu získaných recenzí jsem se nemohl v této práci podrobněji zmínit o všech. Proto jsem vybral ty kritiky, které seznamují čtenáře s daným dílem podrobněji a posuzovanou knihu hodnotí více do hloubky.

Spells as a part of Finnish folklore
Hošková, Magdalena ; Dlask, Jan (advisor) ; Velkoborsky, Jan Petr (referee)
Author's name: Magdalena Hošková School: Charles University in Prague, Faculty of Arts Department: Institute of Linguistics and Finno-Ugric Studies Title: Spells as a Part of Finnish Folklore Supervisor: Mgr. Jan Dlask, Ph.D. Number of pages: 77 Key words: spell, Finnish spells, Finnish folklore, Kalevala, Finnish mythology, tietäjä, shaman, prayer, healing magic, homoeopathic magic, John Abercromby, James Frazer, neoshamanism, neopaganism This thesis deals with spells as a part of Finnish folklore. It depicts the circumstances of the spells' genesis, as well as their structural features and different purposes of their use. It is considered that most spells were created during the era of late paganism and early Christianity. This is true not only of Finland but also of Europe in general. The thesis also analyses the role of the shaman as the spiritual leader of Finnish people living in the era before the spells' creation and thereafter analyses the role of the shaman's successor: the tietäjä, the charmer who created spells and used them to help people in his community. So the tietäjä used his spells for the same purpose as his predecessor, the shaman, used trance states, which he entered via drumming, chanting and dancing. In the trance state, he talked to animal spirits and ancestors' spirits and...
