Model utopické společnosti a vliv jejích totalitních mechanismů na život jedince v dílech Konec civilizace Aldouse Huxleyho a 1984 George Orwella
OSUCHOVÁ, Kateřina
This thesis examines the image of a utopian society and the impact of totalitarian regimes on the lives of individuals in George Orwell's 1984 and Aldous Huxley's The Brave New World. These dystopian works reflect the world in the first half of the twentieth century and offer the readers a critique of the modern social order. The thesis first introduces the authors and their works, then focuses on the historical and social context. The elements of utopian society and totalitarian mechanisms are analysed in selected books to show how the above factors can be used (or misused) to manipulate, control and suppress human freedom and individuality, and what impact they have on the formation of a society controlled and constrained by utopian ideologies.

Brave New World and Island: The Analysis of the Utopian and the Anti-Utopian World in Aldous Huxley´s Novels
ERTELOVÁ, Jitka
The aim of this thesis is to analyse two novels written by Aldous Huxley an anti-utopian novel Brave New World (1932) and a utopian novel Island (1963). The examination of both Huxley´ s works is based on the analysis of literary genres. The thesis outlines difficulties concerning a precise definition of the terms "utopia," "anti-utopia," and "dystopia." The genesis of the genres is also briefly mentioned. The thesis also deals with both common and distinct features of the genres. Because of the purpose of the analysis regarding Brave New World and Island, the thesis includes Huxley´ s other works (essays and novels), dystopian novels Nineteen Eighty Four by George Orwell and We by Yevgeny Zamyatin and a utopian novel Men Like Gods by H. G. Wells.

Chaos
Vogelová, Tereza ; Fajnor, Richard (referee) ; Stratil, Václav (advisor)
The existing world is becoming more disrupted and is falling apart. For its resurrection and restoration, a new way of thinking is necessary. This new type of thinking is needed to be able to open up its mind and to think about the process of thinking itself; it must understand what is happening in other systems, where processes seem to be taking place by themselves without any other visible interference. First Chaos is the title for an intermedia installation which contains 90 black and white photographs, both digital and analogue, all of which were taken between the years 2008 and 2012. Together, the photographs create one coherent piece – a kind of sculpture. They can evoke a "still film" with a non-linear, cyclical storyline, whilst the images can simultaneously function individually, without any connection to other photographs.
