Empathy possibilities with literary characters in the reception of Jan Balabán's short stories
Klečka, Petr ; Neumann, Lukáš (advisor) ; Laufková, Veronika (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with reader empathy towards literary characters in Jan Balabán's short stories, specifically focusing on the means of text construction that enable this empathy. The theoretical part of the thesis first defines the subjects of the empathic response - the literary character and the reader. Subsequently, the empathic process is also defined. In the practical part, three short stories from different short story collections by Jan Balabán are then analysed, because the sub-research of the bachelor's thesis is focused on the transformation of the means of text construction key to eliciting an empathic response in the context of Balabán's work. The analyses themselves are structured into the different levels of literary character, narrator, story, space-time and language. The analyses then show that the empathic response in the reader is elicited in a similar way in the first two stories, mainly due to the blurring of the distinctions between the narrator's zone and the character's zone, which evokes a similarity with interpersonal interaction, as well as due to the sites of non-determinism that result in the elicitation of so-called external inferences.

Works of world literature comprised within reading of contemporary high-school graduates
TOMS, Tomáš
As the attitude of readers to literature is evolving in time, the form of state graduation exam and related compulsory reading is evolving as well. Current high-school graduates have the obligation to read at least 20 books from the lists that are prepared by their schools. The goal of the bachelor thesis Works of world literature comprised within reading of contemporary high-school graduates was to find out the pre-graduating students´ attitude to world literature. We confirmed that the quantity of pages of the work is important for graduates during their choice of compulsory reading, they appreciate books that are not so time consuming and they prefer prose to drama and poetry. The majority of respondents take into account a recommendation of more experienced reader, a teacher in our case. The research also showed that in spite of the obligation of graduation exam at high schools and the obligation of reading books from the limited recommended number of books, the graduates are not discouraged from reading other books and they read books of their own choice in their free time. In these publications, the genre of fantasy, sci-fi or detective novels, is dominating. Most of the current students are well informed about foreigner and Czech literature and they are able to match several representative authors and works to their countries.

Computer game - a peculiar literal creation?
Kovaříková, Šárka ; Klumparová, Štěpánka (advisor) ; Kubíček, Tomáš (referee)
The bachelor thesis with the topic "Computer game - a peculiar literal creation?" consists of two parts. The first part introduces computer games in general and takes up the RPG genre, which is the closest one to literature due to its large content of text. It shows that for playing computer games similar abilities are needed as for reading books (mainly reading and information literacy). The term "flow-experience while playing computer games" is mentioned as well. Further, different scientific approaches, which can be applied to research about computer games can be found. The last topic of the first part describes fictional worlds, where different stories can take place. These stories are created by the different narrative categories - narrator and tale, time, space and characters. The second part of the thesis is dedicated to analysis and interpretation of the computer game "The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion". This part verifies that for playing computer games it is necessary to know special types of literacy. Besides that, the game shows one type of fictional world, where all the narrative categories create a specific world with its own rules.
