The Spanish translation of the Holan's poem A Night with Hamlet (Noc s Hamletem)
MODROVÁ, Kristina
This diploma thesis deals with the Spanish translation of A Night with Hamlet (1964), written by Vladimír Holan (1905-1980). It was the first work of Holan's translated into Spanish in 1970, due to an unusual collaboration of two authors who called it Una noche con Hamlet y otros poemas. The Czech linguist, translator and avademic teacher Josef Forbelský (*1930) and the Spanish poet, literary scientist and academic pedagogue Guillermo Carnero (*1947) worked on this translation together. Both of them did not approach the translation of A Night with Hamlet only as a job opportunity, the translational cooperation for them also had a unique personal importance. This work focuses on the circumstances of the translation and it attempts to comment on the way the poem was translated. Furthermore it focuses on the analysis of individual fragments using the methods described below. It reveals not only the environment and the era in which the work was made, but also comments on specific translational shifts.

Metaphor in work of Vladimír Holan
DVOŘÁK, Martin
This doctoral thesis focuses on metaphors and their usage in literature. On basis of different theoretical approaches, the thesis describes the substitution theory of metaphor, specifically Aristotle's concept presented in his treatises Poetics and Rhetoric, then interaction theory of metaphor, initiated by Ivor Armstrong Richards and developed by Max Black. The concept of cognitive content of metaphors will be particularly analysed. The methodology section of this thesis will then focus on Donald Davidson's essay "What Metaphors Mean", John Searle's theory of speech acts and Richard Rorty's model of contingency of language. The thesis is complemented by three case studies theoretically based on methodology described in previous chapters. The studies analyse the metaphors in poetry of czech poet Vladimír Holan. They are surveying Holan's figurative language in his books from late 20s to late 40s of the 20th century, one of the studies focuses on speech initiations produced by Holan's lyric poetry, which he wrote in 30s, those initiations are tracked in contemporary reviews.

Poetics of Holan's collections The Triumph of Death, The Breezing and The Arch
Enderlová, Hana ; Binar, Vladimír (advisor) ; Wiendl, Jan (referee)
This thesis analyzes the first two poetry collections by Vladimir Holan - Triumf smrti (1930, revision 1936, 1948) and Vanutí (1932). At first, it focuses on identifying their rhythmic structure, its constants and the successive transformations. Particular attention is given to reprocessing of collection Triumf smrti - in the analysis of its three variants to see, how did the Holan's conception of poetic rhythm developed and its relationship to semantics of poetic text and its transformations. Part of exploration is to determine the function of poetic rhythm constants in individual collections, accompanied by an attempt to demonstrate that the relationship of rhythm, euphony and instrumentation of verse and their interaction belongs to the basic components of Holan's lyricism in this period. Furthermore, the work deals with the semantics of these Holan's collections, especially analysis of the basic features of his metaphor and metonymy, their mutual relationship, changes of the metaphors into metonymy and overgrowth in the context of poetic text into symbols. The purpose of the work is to show that the essence of poetic semantics in these collections lies in the specificity and uniqueness of their poetics, from which it is inevitably born, grows and shapes.

The Silence in František Halas and Vladimír Holan's Poems
Baštová, Kristýna ; Wiendl, Jan (advisor) ; Heczková, Libuše (referee)
This work is an attempt to describe a phenomenon of silence in František Halas' and Vladimír Holan's early works. It is based on a summary of Czech literary reception of this phenomenon, and also on the analysis of the examined titles. These are Sepie, Kohout plaší smrt, Tvář by František Halas and Triumf smrti, Vanutí, Oblouk and Kameni, přicházíš by Vladimír Holan. The aim of the work is to indicate potential differences (or similarities) between Halas' and Holan's conception and portrayal of the phenomenon. This indication is based on the analysis of a way of expression of silence in examinated titles, also on themes and motives related to this phenomenon.

The end of The Carnival - Poetism on the verge of the 1930s
Bílková, Petra ; Wiendl, Jan (advisor) ; Vojvodík, Josef (referee)
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...

Flanderka, Jakub ; Trávníček, Jiří (advisor) ; Hrdlička, Josef (referee) ; Málková, Iva (referee)
Poetic Spaces of Memory (on Chosen Czech Poets of the Second Half of the 20th Century) Abstract The dissertation Poetic Spaces of Memory (on Chosen Czech Poets of the Second Half of the 20th Century) offers interpretations of six Czech poetic works of the second half of the 20th century, with focus on the perspective of cultural memory. Chosen poetic works represent synecdoches of poetic description of (general) historical events and experience that are connected with the time during the World War II (the Nazi regime) and with communist regime after 1948 and to some extent are connected with spatial dimension - be it poetic reflection of space which is modelled on a phenomenon from real, "topical" world, be it (completely) imaginary description of space. Methodology of this dissertation is based on the concept of cultural memory by Aleida Assmann, particularly as presented in her book Cultural Memory and Western Civilization. Functions, Media, Archives. Individual chapters of the dissertation deal with interpretations of following poetic works: "Návrat" by Vladimír Holan is a poetic story that develops the topos of coming back - coming back home, to a space that the lyrical narrator enters after twenty years in order to look for his mother's grave in local graveyard; he fails. A verse book Dům Strach by Jan...
