Davydzka, Jagor ; Starý, Jiří (advisor) ; Schneider, Thomas (referee)
This bachelor's thesis deals with the analysis of texts by Walter Benjamin and Ernst Jünger, the topic of which is the place of power and violence in society. The basic texts are Zur Kritik der Gewalt and Theorien des deutschen Faschismus by Walter Benjamin and Über die Gefahr, Die totale Mobilmachung and Der Pazifismus by Ernst Jünger. Attention is primarily focused on the texts as they are. The ideological context of the period in which the selected texts were created plays a significant, though not the leading role. The goal of the thesis is to analyse and to interpret the content of the selected works. The thesis also aims to show the main differences and similarities in the ideologies of both authors, so that it becomes possible to clearly describe their attitudes towards violence in society.
