Růžičková, Tereza ; Cahel, Tomáš (referee) ; Májek, Jan (advisor) ; Daněk, Lukáš (advisor)
The bachelor thesis was prepared on the basic of an earlier study in the subject AG32. This bachelor’s thesis develops study further into the level Building permit documentation and Documentation for execution of the project. The main theme of this work is the Kindergarten in Brno. The proposed kindergarten is located in the city centre of Brno, on Údolní Street. The land is bordered by a frequented road from the north side and the park Obilní trh, on the south side of the land the relief gradually rises to Špilberk Castle. The main idea was to create a kindergarten object and an ideal space for children’s upbringing and movement. The shape of the building reacts to the surrounding area. On the north side is only the entrance to the building and the school’s operational base. The main room of the school (the games room and the dining room) opens to the south side into the garden which goes further into the slope. The west wing of the building is extended to the slope and the construction continues to the original terrain and it’s possible to cross to the slope of the roof of the building. Roof is designed as a vegetation roof. The overall appearance of the building is of a natural character. It’s made of a wooden facade vertical tile. Only at the entrance to the building and on the other side of the building near garden are designed colour rotating lamellas. Children can rotate with them and change the appearance of the building.

Gothic and Realistic Features in the Works of Flannery O´Connor and Carson McCullers
ZÁHOROVÁ, Zuzana
The diploma thesis focuses on a comparative analysis of Flannery O'Connor's and Carson McCullers' Southern Gothic literary works. Special emphasis is put on the relationship between the gothic and realistic features. The comparative analysis is based on the characterisation of Southern Gothic literature (the landscape and environment as the main focus), which leads to the specification of its main features. Individual chapters contain O'Connor's and McCullers' biographies. The comparative analysis itself concentrates on the description of the heroes and their relationships, the function of landscape, the meaning of grotesque motifs, the connection of traditional and comical features, the influence of past, the role of religion and the issue of good and evil.

North South, East West: Modern Inequality of Germany and its Reflection in the Political Discours
Kindl, Jakob ; Nigrin, Tomáš (advisor) ; Handl, Vladimír (referee)
Bachelor Thesis - Abstract Kindl Jakob The bachelor thesis deals with the topic of inequality between the northern and southern federal states of Germany. First, it seeks to place the north-south division into a historical context - Germany was characterized by a north-south divide for a long time. Whether it was Austro-Prussian dualism, an industrial orientation against the agrarian one, or a confessional distinction between Southern Catholics and Northern Protestants. The bachelor's thesis therefore deals with where the border between north and south is located. Since the existence of the north-south border is not as clear a discrepancy as the west-east border, it must first have been proved in the thesis that the differences between north and south prevail. The author quantitatively compares economic and social data published by the federal government. These data include GDP, unemployment, indebtedness, willingness to invest or education. In all selected criteria, the existence of a difference between a richer, more educated and less indebted south and a poorer, less educated and more indebted north was confirmed. However, the north-south division affects not only the western Länder but also the New Bundesländer. After dividing the eastern Bundesländer into southern Saxony and Thuringia and comparing...

Karel Cvejn, description and reception of his literary work and criticism
URBANOVÁ, Kateřina
The aim of the thesis is to describe and analyse the regional publishing activities and literary criticism of Karel Cvejn, who worked in South Bohemia at the end of the 1920s and mainly during the 1930s. As this period was notable for its wide variety of social, political, and artistic views and schools of thought, a chapter with a brief overview of a historical and literary background related to South Bohemia has also been included as to make Cvejn's work perceivable in a broader context. In the following chapters, two periodicals of which Cvejn was the main editor have been analysed: a student magazine Gymnasion and a cultural and political quarterly called Jih. Within the subchapters, the concepts of these periodicals have been described, and, subsequently, Cvejn´s contributions into these periodicals have been analysed. Cvejn was also connected with South Bohemia because of his two collections of poems which are called Odjezdy and Slepec a včela. For this reason, one of the chapters of the thesis has been devoted to describing these works. The chapters dealing with the quarterly Jih and with Cvejn's poetry have been accompanied by contemporary reactions or reviews. The thesis also features a short summary of Cvejn's life and his further scientific activities no longer connected with South Bohemia.

Neither Old, Nor New: The Southern Belle Archetype in Lillian Hellman's Birdie from The Little Foxes and Tennessee Williams's Blanche from A Streetcar Named Desire
Soukupová, Markéta ; Ulmanová, Hana (advisor) ; Veselá, Pavla (referee)
The aim of the BA thesis is to describe the origins of the Old South's archetypal feminine ideals and how they were altered in the course of time. In what follows, I will attempt to explain how southern elite (re) defined, enacted and/or maintained the distinctive role of Southern Belle while others refused, modified or debunked these ideals. The thesis will be approached from an interdisciplinary point of view; it will encompass literary theory, namely in respect to relevant archetypal definitions that will be applied to the specific Southern Belle figures, as well as historical, social and cultural studies. Finally, feminist and gender theories will be employed in order to demonstrate how the cultural archetype of the Southern Belle served as a socially constructed norm enforcing women's passivity and submission to patriarchy. After the introductory chapter, which will present the American South and its inhabitants as a distinct entity, chapter two will comment on and explain the aims and methodology of the thesis and the key terminology that is essential for the Southern Belle concept. Chapter three shall provide a succinct socio-historical context of Tennessee Williams's A Streetcar Named Desire and Lillian Hellman's The Little Foxes in relation to their particular Southern Belle constructs....

Life of Roman peripheria in Pasolini's film and narrative work
Sucharovová, Lucia ; Flemrová, Alice (advisor) ; Pelán, Jiří (referee)
In this thesis I chose the topic of the history of modern Italian literature, namely the period of neorealism. Literary production exceeds its framework and passes into another kind of art, into filmmaking. So thesis gains interdisciplinary character. Furthermore, for me, this period significant for its ethical and aesthetic values of the human society. The first part summarizes important books about the life of Pier Paolo Pasolini. In the central part is based on mutual comparison works, novels and films, the opinions of experts works drawn from secondary literature. It is currently the focus of work: analysis of novels and film sequences through which it speaks to us. In the last part of the thesis contents Pasolini's book dedicated to collection of essays bearing his poetic intention to intervene in language, literature and film layers of Italian culture.
Pasolini's scope goes beyond individual disciplines, interconnects arts and beyond "mere" national scope. It opens up new issues in the community in which he later become fateful. The thesis is dedicated to the first half of Pasolini's life that affected him during processing works analyzed below: Ragazzi di vita and Una vita violenta, Accattone and Mamma Roma. The rest of his life is not addressed, it does not impinge subject of interest and...

Soukupová, Markéta ; Ulmanová, Hana (advisor) ; Veselá, Pavla (referee)
The aim of this BA thesis is to describe the origins of the Old South's archetypal feminine ideals and how they were altered in the course of time. In what follows, I will attempt to explain how the Southern Belle myth became (re-)defined, enacted and/or maintained throughout the era of the Antebellum, Post-Bellum and New South perspective. The thesis will employ literary theory, namely in respect to relevant archetypal definitions that will be applied to the specific Southern Belle figures, as well as historical, social and cultural studies. Finally, feminist and gender theories will be utilized in order to demonstrate how the cultural archetype of the Southern Belle served as a socially constructed norm enforcing women's passivity and submission to patriarchy. After the introductory chapter, which will present the American South and its inhabitants as a distinct cultural entity, chapter two will discuss the aims and methodology of the thesis and the basic terminology that is essential for the Southern Belle concept. Chapter three shall afterwards briefly introduce the specific constructs of the Post-Bellum (Lillian Hellman's The Little Foxes) and New South (Tennessee Williams's A Streetcar Named Desire) Belles in relation to their concrete socio-historical contexts. Chapter four will then consist...
