Theological interpretation of Vítězslav Nezval's poetic composition "Z domoviny (From the Homeland)"
KUKAL, Petr
The thesis deals with the analysis of theological motifs in a specific poetic text - a poetic composition of an eminent 20th-century Czech poet, Vítězslav Nezval. The theoretical part deals with the context of the composition's origin. The context lies in the poet's religious identity at the end of the fifth decade of his life on the one hand, and in the political situation in Czechoslovakia and its consequences for the arts on the other. The practical part consists of a detailed analysis of the text of the composition, the identification of its religious motifs, and their theological interpretation in the spirit of the principles of poetical theology. For the purposes of the thesis, the poetic composition was divided into thematically more or less homogeneous sections. They were then analysed individually, and the lines of motifs formed of some of these blocks were identified. The outputs of the interpretation process suggest that although Nezval's eschatological idea of the culmination of history in a classless society was felt as immanent to humankind, it was doubtlessly founded on religious grounds.

Univerzita Karlova v Praze Filozofická fakulta Ústav české literatury a literární vědy Diplomová práce Petra Bílková KONEC KARNEVALU poetismus na přelomu 20. a 30. let THE END OF THE CARNIVAL Poetism on the verge of the 1930s Praha 2012 Vedoucí práce: doc. PhDr. Jan Wiendl, Ph.D. Abstract In the first half of the 1920's, in the Czech avant-garde, a new art began to form - Poetism. On the basis of individual manifests and programmatic articles it was defined as modus vivendi. In the 1920's many principles and ideas were shaping the future, not only for the society, but also for the artistic movements. Poetism featured mainly an original concept of art and life; the authors of theoretical articles were mainly Karel Teige and Vítězslav Nezval. Within a few years the concept of life as a careless game and a source of joy faded and bitter- sweet topics began to penetrate Poetism. At this time, the poetics of Poetism changed from the original cheerfulness and everyday beauty to serious existential topics - the evidence is provided by many works of art. This transformation affected poetry the most. In poems made by authors, who came out of Poetism, inspiration thereby gathered is still evident; however, more serious issues are coming to the fore. Each of those poems expresses a distinct reconciliation with the...

World Views and Interpretive Communities in the Literary Field of Czechoslovakia in the 1930s
Borovička, Lukáš ; Janáček, Pavel (advisor) ; Sýkora, Michal (referee) ; Holý, Jiří (referee)
The goals of the present dissertation are twofold: 1) to bring back into the literary thought the notion of "world view", which has been largely discredited due to its abusage in the context of official Marxism during the socialist era, and 2) to affirm the usefulness of the notion of "world view" in the literary practice. The thesis is structured so as to meet the goals: the first chapter presents several probes of the usage of the phrase "world view" and definition discussions related to it. In this framework, the "scientific world view" from the socialist era is then confronted with a range of other definitions of the notion, such as F. X. Šalda's "view of life and world". In the second chapter, I present my approach to this notion, aimed at serving the purposes of current literary research. Firstly, I distinguish the notion of "world view" from the notions of "mentality" and "ideology", and secondly, following the research of The Worldviews Group (Brussels) I propose my own definition of world view. Since the Group does not deal with actual interpretations of literary texts, I make use for the intended purpose of an updated and slightly modified concept of Terry Eagleton, originally published within the monograph Criticism and Ideology (1976). What is essential is foremost to differ between a)...

Biebl's Collection S lodí jež dováží čaj a kávu and its Context (the Exoticism of the Avant-garde)
Tichá, Soňa ; Holý, Jiří (advisor) ; Vučka, Tomáš (referee)
This work's main concern is the analysis of the transformation of exoticism motives in Konstantin Biebl's S lodí jež dováží čaj a kávu. The interpretations of the text follow the context of the avant-garde exoticism in the era after World War I. The analysis is supported with motives of exoticism in Biebl's works from the 20's, and also with two works of his contemporaries: Jaroslav Seifert's collection of poems Na vlnách TSF and Vítězslav Nezval's Exotická láska.
