This bachelor theses addresses analysis of literary critical response of four titles which were awarded in one of the categories of the competition Magnesia Litera between 2016 and 2019. The thesis aims to present the profile of the competition Magnesia Litera and subsequently to define the term literary criticism, to describe its development and principles. Furthermore, it addresses four specific winning titles which include two awarded for Prose: Do tmy (2015) by Anna Bolavá and Teorie podivnosti (2018) by Pavla Horáková, one awarded for Journalism: Brnox. Průvodce brněnským Bronxem. Akce Kateřiny Šedé (2016) by Kateřina Šedá and one for Children's and Youth Literature: Transport za věčnost (2017) by František Tichý. Each book is then subject of my own interpretation. The thesis then analyses critical reflection of each book within Czech media environment before and after being awarded in Magnesia Litera competition, regards the quantity of response and compares its content; in both cases it also points out whether the literary critical evaluation had been influenced by the award itself.

Impact of literary prizes awarded to the media image of books
Linhart, Jiří ; Čeňková, Jana (advisor) ; Halada, Jan (referee)
This diploma thesis researches the impact of a literary prize on the media image of the awarded book in 2012. More precisely I pursue these awards and winning titles: Jaroslav Seifert Prize (Vladimír Binar: Číňanova pěna), Jiří Orten Award (Vratislav Maňák: Šaty z igelitu), Josef Škvorecký Award (Kateřina Tučková: Žítkovské bohyně), Magnesia Litera - The Book of the Year (Michal Ajvaz: Lucemburská zahrada). First I analyse the change of the quantity (the number of references and the share within the text), then I focus on the modification of the journalistic assessment of the title (on the scale positive - neutral - negative). In first case I use a quantitative analysis of media content, in the second case I use a comparative semiotic analysis. My sample are these Czech periodicals, in alphabetical order: A2, Aktuálně.cz, Hospodářské noviny, Host, iDnes.cz, Lidové noviny, Literární noviny, Reflex, Respekt, Tvar. The main output is a discovery, how the Czech print and online written media reflect the results of the literary prizes, also I (try to) determine the media power of each award.
