Rejžková, Magdaléna ; Šotolová, Jovanka (advisor) ; Belisová, Šárka (referee)
v anglickém jazyce This thesis deals with the dramatic production of Francophone African authors and the translation of their texts into Czech. The theoretical part briefly describes the history of African drama and its specific elements. The following chapters examine the perception of this specific genre in Europe - especially in France and the Czech Republic. The thesis also documents the history of the Czech festival Africa in Creation, which has been held in Prague in the first decade of the new millennium. During its existence, it presented many African authors. Later, their plays were translated into Czech within the series The Contemporary play, published by the Arts and Theatre Institute. From the point of view of translatology, the study focuses on the general theory of the drama translation (based on the theories of translation from the 2nd part of the 20th century, especially the Czech model of Jiří Levý) and the post-colonial and cultural translation theories. In general, the aim of the study is to define the problems which the translator could be faced with translating the text from the culture which is diametrically different from the target one. Based on this theoretical ground, a critical analysis has been made in order to examine three plays by African playwrights and their Czech...

Kőműves, Edina Ágnes ; Klusáková, Luďa (advisor) ; Czoch, Gábor (referee)
Physical-spatial and social configuration at neighborhood level, the Raval (Barcelona), an urban evaluation according with the Compact City Model Edwin Javier Azofeifa Valverde ABSTRACT In urban areas, economic development and efforts for improving the quality of citizens' lives, instead of complementing each other and contributing to the advancement of the city, both of them generate and accentuate the processes of physical and social fragmentation in cities. This thesis describes and evaluates the physical-spatial and social configuration in the neighbourhood of Raval in Barcelona, with a particular focus on the role played in that configuration by the immigrant population. The aim is to identify how those processes in which social inequality and a lack of access to certain services and facilities manifest themselves. In order to illustrate this reality and understand the configuration of Raval, population data and information regarding services, facilities, and urban furniture were gathered. The concept of compact urban development (the compact city model) was used in order to interpret the potential weaknesses in the neighbourhood, which hinder its functionality. The main drawbacks are the predominance of population groups occupying certain spaces hindering their potential integration in the...

Organisation internationale de la francophonie and the Czech Republic. Analysis of the relevant terminology.
ŠMIDOVÁ, Pavla
This thesis is focused on the International organisation of La Francophonie (OIF) and the Czech membership in this organisation. The aim of this thesis is to present the OIF and to find and to evaluate activities that take place in the Czech Republic and are related to the OIF. The theoretical part is divided into two chapters and is focused on the history of the institutional cooperation, on the institutional structure and on the activities and aims of the OIF. It is followed by an analysis of different types of membership that can be obtained by a state or a government. The second chapter is dedicated to the relations between the Czech Republic and France, which is considered as a cradle of francophony. The history of this relation and the accession of the Czech Republic into the organisation is concerned. Chapter three is the practical part of this thesis and is based on a research into activities in the Czech Republic, organised or financed by the OIF. The last part is the linguistic analysis of the terminology of francophony and the resulting french-czech dictionnary. The fundamental source for this thesis will be the websites of the organisation and its official documents, such as the Charter of the Francophony.
