Středověká epika a problém původnosti v českém literárním dějepisectví v „dlouhém“ 19. století
Turek, Matouš
With special regard to the foregrounding of the issue of cultural transfer, the article traces two axioms of Czech literary historiography in the 19th and at the beginning of the 20th century – the figure of the Golden Age followed by decline as well as the ideal of originality and authenticity as a fundamental value criterion – and the development in their application onto medieval literature. With reference to synthetical works written by V. V. Haštalský, A. V. Šembera, Karel Tieftrunk and Jaroslav Vlček, the article demonstrates the ways in which the narrative of the decline of Old Czech epic, epitomized in the opposition between the Alexandreis and Tristram a Izalda, was gradually amplified and reaffirmed up until the 1880s, although the evaluation criteria were undergoing a paradigmatic shift. The binary category of originality and authenticity endures but is reinterpreted and recoded so that the opposition indigenous–foreign is superseded by oppositions drawn on the axes original–derivative, created–translated, authorial–anonymous. The syntheses written by Jaroslav Vlček, Arne Novák and Jan Jakubec at the turn of the century, already after the debunking of the allegedly autochthonous Dvůr Králové and Zelená hora manuscripts, present the multilingual nature of literary creativity in the Czech Lands in connection with Old Czech epic in a more positive light, rehabilitating in principle the realization of cultural transfer, although they do still utilize and further broaden the narrative of decline, rooted in the concept of monocultural fundaments of national literatures.

The Language of Images (The Image of an Author as a Paratextual Phenomenon in Cultural Transfer)
Králíková, Andrea ; Bílek, Petr (advisor) ; Špirit, Michael (referee) ; Kubíček, Tomáš (referee)
This PhD. Thesis "The Language of Images (The Image of an Author as a Paratextual Phenomenon in Cultural Transfer)" deals with the teoretical questions of the notion "The Image of an Author" and the way the term is constituted and its conections to a specific cultural space in the frame of cultural transfer. The Image of the Author is interpreted as a paratextual phenomenon which is on the one hand created through review acceptance and medial discurs in the cultural space, and on the other hand has influence on the way the text is accepted by the reader. The question of the image of an author is approached in the context of other paratextual elements, paratexts are from our point of view read as cultural (semantic) units, which participace on semiotic space of culture. The first three chapters form the teoretical basis of the thesis and focus on the theme of cultural transfer and paratexts. The core of the thesis is in its second part which presents four case studies about four different author's types in contemporary Czech literature (Jáchym Topol, Petra Hůlová, Jaroslav Rudiš, Miloš Urban). Each case study analyses the main points of their reception, the speech of the medial discourse and the way of their presentation and self-presentation. A comparison with distinc attributes of reception in...
