The Sacred Works of Domenico Sarri in Bohemia
Čermáková, Eva ; Niubo, Marc (advisor) ; Kapsa, Václav (referee)
The diploma thesis contributes to study of the Italian and Czech origins of the sacred music by Neapolitan composers from the first third of the 18th century. The first chapters of the thesis concentrate on classification of manuscripts with music by the Neapolitan composer Domenico Sarri (1678-1744) whose many works have been preserved in Czech music archives. Though Sarri demonstrably was a significant representative of the Neapolitan music production of his time, his work has not yet been adequately explored. This thesis therefore also includes a complete reconstruction of Sarri's psalm Dixit Dominus F major. In the last part of the thesis, this piece is analyzed and compared within the selection of few works by Sarri and his contemporaries with the aim to specify some of the general and individual aspects of Sarri's musical thinking.

Roberto Saviano's Gomorrah. Reality and fiction
Bursíková, Martina ; Flemrová, Alice (advisor) ; Pelán, Jiří (referee)
This thesis focuses on the selected topics of Roberto Saviano's Gomorrah and it attempts to examine the way the author works with facts and how he presents them. In the introductory chapter I gave an outline of Saviano's work and of the general characteristics of his literary style, his processing of facts and work with them and the main topics of his writings. In the beginning of my thesis, I addressed the topic of a literary style called the New Journalism. I presented its main ideas, representatives, literary goals and the core points of its manifesto. When assessing Saviano's work in the context of New Journalism, I believe it is crutial to consider its objectivity, genuine capture of reality and its comprehensive approach to narration of facts with a literary language of aesthetic dimension. Saviano's only deflection from this style would be in his role of the narrator. New Journalism seeked to push the role of the narrator to the background or to have it absent altogether whereas Saviano often appears in his own plays as a direct participant or an indirect commentator. The view of the author, the participant or the characters did frequently appear in the works of New Journalism. The most common form, however, was to expound and describe the character through its' own mind - which makes the role of the...

Camorra as a parallel system of the Italian state
Zima, Vojtěch ; Perottino, Michel (advisor) ; Jiroudková, Adéla (referee)
This thesis deals with the history and evolution of the phenomenon of the Camorra in one of the southern Italian regions - Campania. Camorra originated as a result of appalling social conditions in the south of Italy before its unification. The former ruling system in Naples neighborhood was inefficient and distant for the general population. In contrast, the Camorra everyday system responded immediately and was efficient, fast and productive. Before the constitution of the modern Italian state in 1861, Camorra had already more than half a century of history and activities, and was firmly established itself in the society of Campania. From 1819, when the first written note about Camorra appeared till the first decade of the 21st century it has undergone a complicated and interesting development and changes. During this period, there were several transformations in the functioning of its system. From the initial racketeering and small crime the Camorra's system was transformed into the highly organized companies, whose representatives can be well established members of the highest levels of the Italian society. The thesis also describes how the Camorra's social security ensures its members. From the point of view of Camorra's members their system never fails on the contrary to the official state...

The image of the Camorra in contemporary Neapolitan prose
Šenkýřová, Barbora ; Flemrová, Alice (advisor) ; Pelán, Jiří (referee)
The image of the Camorra in contemporary Neapolitan prose The Camorra or "the System", as lots of residents of Naples call it, is a criminal organization that has intensified its activities since the 1980s and today it affects all aspects of lives of people living in Campania. This thesis focuses on the impact of the Camorra on lives and work of contemporary Neapolitan writers, or more precisely, it describes the way the theme of the Neapolitan mafia is represented in their books. The authors of the analyzed texts are Peppe Lanzetta, Giuseppe Ferrandino, Andrej Longo, Giuseppe Montesano, Simone Di Meo, Roberto Saviano and Valeria Parrella. For the purpose of this thesis, we have chosen the works that are interesting in terms of genre adaptation of the topic and in terms of the characteristics of the main characters of each story. Following the behaviour of the main characters, we observe the direct impact of the Camorra on life in Naples and its influence on the mentality of its inhabitants. We aim to define the conditions under which the people ruled by the Camorra are forced to live and at the same time, we analyze how they face up to this destiny: whether they persist and hope for change or resign and leave their hometown to try their luck elsewhere, mostly in northern Italy. Addressing each...
