Martyrs of the genre Traps
Křenková, Jarmila ; Čeněk, David (advisor) ; Hanáková, Petra (referee)
Bachelor's thesis Martyrs of Genre Traps deals with the analysis of Pascal Laugier's film Martyrs as a unique transgressive work of art, which, owing to its split between genre and non-genre, expands even into very diverse discourses. It establishes its position within the horror as a crisis narrative, the forming of which is influenced by circumstances of the period, and puts it in context of contemporary European horror and integrating creative vision. The analysis itself then focuses on an innovative approach to genre structures defined by the method of radical dramatic cuts, which lies in precise fulfillment of horror subgenre conventions and their subsequent alterations, due to which the conventionalised genre rediscovers its subversive potential. Keywords Horror, Martyrs, Pascal Laugier, Genre, Convention, Inovation, Crisis narrative, Gore film

Athletae Christi. Early Christian Hagiography between Imitation and Rewriting
Kitzler, Petr ; Bažil, Martin (advisor) ; Pokorný, Petr (referee) ; Šubrt, Jiří (referee)
ANGLICKÁ ANOTACE (= předběžná náplň práce) Passio Perpetuae and Its Reflection in the Literature of Ancient Church The "Passion of Perpetua and Felicity" (Passio Perpetuae et Felicitatis) is one of the most renowned texts of early Christian hagiography. Accordingly, it has been enjoying a renewal of scholarly interest in the last decades. However, surprisingly little attention was paid to its literary "Nachleben", and there exist virtually no studies focusing on its reception in the subsequent literature of the early Church. Seemingly simple narrative, describing the martyrdom of a group of North African Christians, has been held in high esteem since its composition. It acquired almost "canonical" status and was considered authoritative not only by the mass of simple believers but by the Christian intellectuals, too. Though highly venerated in the early Church, it contained a number of innovative and - in the context of Antique and early Christian society - potentially subversive features. These novel features were felt to undermine the existing social order and hierarchy, and it was necessary to "explain them away" in order to make the text more compliant with traditional and generally accepted social values. This was then often taken into account, when later authors and interpreters refer to the text. The...
