Samizdat Journal Obsah Published in the Years 1981-1985
ŠTOLFA, Daniel
This bachelor's thesis deals with the analysis of individual issues of the samizdat magazine Obsah, which was published between 1981 and 1989, but the thesis focuses only on the 1981-1985 editions, as the following editions reflected the political and social situation and focused on the reflection of political events. The analysis is set in the context of the normalisation period and reflects the periodical's contemporary language also in terms of its engagement with the political and cultural events of the time. It assesses the role the periodical played in the context of the totalitarian regime and how it contributed to the development of a parallel cultural space. The aim of this analysis is to reflect on the intent and purpose of the published texts, the change in the form of the journal or the shift of the periodical, or what themes were present in the contributions. The thesis then presents a picture of the periodical as the activity of a group of writers in an unauthorized artistic space and the situation of this creative activity. At the same time, the thesis attempts to portray the different areas that the articles covered and what thematic and genre range they covered.

Speech of Samizdat feuilleton. Analysis of Československý fejeton publihed in the 2nd half of 1970s in Edice Petlice
VITOŇOVÁ, Barbora
The diploma thesis is deals with the analysis of four editions of the samizdat periodical Československý fejeton/fejtón [Czechoslovak feuilleton], a project of the authors of inedited (illegal) literature made by close friends of Ludvík Vaculík in the second half of the 1970s. The individual contributions were viewed as representation of the contemporary expression of unofficial authors in their time. Moreover, these authors were persecuted by the regime of the totalitarian Czechoslovak state. Their contributions show the experience of everyday life and the authors' deeply subjective view of the totaliarianism. They also show the timeless philosophical-ethical considerations and formation of the specific institutionalized speech of dissent. The goal of this thesis is to define the relation of these contributions to the next artistic work and activities of these authors, especially in the point of view of the samizdat journal Obsah [Content]. The thesis includes a reminder and a general and partial interpretation of the political events of the given time. The representatives of inetided (illegal) literature on the political events not only with their statements, but also with their artistic work, which was strongly influenced by both content and form. There was created a project of inedited literature to help expand the space of parallel culture and thus to resist ideological cultural and political norms.

Havlíková, Anna ; Čeňková, Jana (advisor) ; Köpplová, Barbara (referee)
This master's thesis deals with the cultural-political weekly magazine Literární noviny. The first part is dedicated to the forms of the Literární noviny from 1927, when the magazine emerged, to 1969, when it ceased to be published for twenty-one years. The main focus of the thesis is its second part, which explores the life of the Literární noviny in the 90s. On 5 April, 1990 the weekly was renewed as an appendix of the Lidové noviny, and two years later it became an independent magazine. Its chief editor was Vladimír Karfík until 1999. I did an interview with Vladimír Karfík, which is attachment of this thesis. I concentrated on the weekly's editorial composition, especially on the sections and its thematic structure, but also on the social and cultural context of the 90s. The main research method used for analysing the composition of the thematic structure is quantitative content analysis. The research questions are related both to the topics that formed the content of the Literární noviny in the 90s, and their transformation within that decade.

The third section is dedicated to the feuilletons of Ludvík Vaculík. I focused on author's feuilletons...

The Ethical Aspects of Literary Production of the Czech Dissidents
Labudová, Zuzana ; Češka, Jakub (advisor) ; Fulka, Josef (referee) ; Havelka, Miloš (referee)
Dissertation thesis focuses on the ethical aspects of literary production of the Czech dissidents. Literature is viewed primarily as a means to legitimation; it works as a legitimizing or delegitimizing agent. A good example is the Czech dream-book by Ludvik Vaculik which shows how it is possible through the written word to (de)legitimize and to (de)mythologize themselves and others and what ethical issues such behavior brings. It works with concepts of the proliferative effect of fiction and the author's reputation as symbolic capital; postulation of the authenticity of the literary testimony; the theory of collective authorship; describing the process of silencing; and the concept of the last dictionary and the solidarity based on a revision of this dictionary. It seeks to contribute to a new approach to dissent by showing the (de)legitimizing efforts in the samizdat's literature and the literature about the dissent and thus to undermine the mainstream homogenization of this multifaceted phenomenon.

The critical reception of the novel Sekyra in contemporary cultural periodicals
Beranová, Monika ; Batistová, Anna (advisor) ; Köpplová, Barbara (referee)
The bachelor thesis is focused on contemporary literary critique of the work of Sekyra from 1966. The author of the novel, Ludvík Vaculík was in the 1960s in the center of attention due to his journalistic activity, which was in conflict with the regime. Vaculík's attitude to the regime and to the Czechoslovak Communist Party evolved during his lifetime and influenced his literary and journalistic work. The analysis is complemented by an overview of his personal life, which determined the direction of his work. The essence of the work is the evaluation of contemporary literary reviews of the work, which appeared in various periodicals. The periodical analysis supplements the historical context of the political events in the 1960s, since the events of the era are crucial for the periodical reception of the novel.
