Forms of the Czech underground scene
Šulcová, Andrea ; Kubíček, Tomáš (advisor) ; Klumparová, Štěpánka (referee)
Resumé The diploma thesis is dedicated to the forms of the Czech underground scene on the basis of the analysis of two samizdat literary journals - Vokno (1979-1989) and Revolver Revue (1985-1989). The thesis studies analogous and distinct tendencies in both magazines which became the platforms of the different underground generations. Vokno is connected with the first underground generation that was formed at the beginning of the 1970s. The second underground generation debuted at beginning of the 1980s and later united around the Revolver Revue magazine. The next part of the diploma thesis focuses on the symptomatic features of the poetics of four central writers that shaped the appearance of the journals. The analysis arises from the texts published in both Vokno and Revolver Revue magazines.

"Jesus Kind" Egon Bondy as Bohumil Hrabal's inspiration
Marek, Jakub ; Schmarc, Vít (advisor) ; Špirit, Michael (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with Egon Bondy's influence upon Bohumil Hrabal. First of all it sketches their relationship which was very friendly and which took place mainly in the fifties of the twentieth century. In the next section there is presented in two ways the influence of Egon Bondy on Bohumil Hrabal's literary works. As the first way is intended the influence of Bondy's concept of total realism upon Hrabal's early texts (see especially the story Jarmilka, also e.g. the story Blitzkrieg or the text collage Mrtvomat), the second way shows how was Egon Bondy used as a literary figure by Hrabal (e.g. the story Zamilovaná or prose Něžný barbar). The first point of interest is therefore origination and evolution of mythology of Bondy how it was processed by Hrabal in his proses and poems. Concurrently, this thesis tries to refer to works of other authors in which the Bondy's figure also occurs and then compare it with Hrabal's texts. In next part this thesis deals with Hrabal's inspiration coming from Bondy's poetic method of total realism which served him as a proper way of depiction of "estranged" reality of the fifties.
