Use of Autobiographical Motifs in Works of Edgar Dutka, Eliška Vlasáková and Antonín Bajaja
Pokorná, Jitka ; Janoušek, Pavel (advisor) ; Hrabáková, Jaroslava (referee)

A childhood spent during this period has become their common literary theme. They all make their memories a literary piece. Each of them does it in a different way and with a different amount of accuracy. Their inspiration comes from their real life, from their memories. The next common feature of these three authors is that they all wrote some of their texts without a vision to make them public. They wrote them for themselves. Book editions were carried out after the year 2000. Last but not least mutual fact is that all of these three authors have been nominated for a prestigious literary price. Edgar Dutka's works show the interdigitation of fictional worlds and also the diffusion of these worlds in the real life of the author. Eliška...

The Thesis is divided into a theoretical and a practical part. The theoretical part sums up scientific works written about the non fiction literature genre.

This bachelor's thesis focuses on non-fiction literature in Czech online media during years 2015 to 2018. Objective of this thesis is to look if, and how, is non-fiction literature present in Czech online media. To accomplish this objective, analysis of popular Czech digital journalism websites is carried out alongside the use of two popular search engines from Google.cz and Seznam,cz. Besides this main objective, the unique variant of non-fiction literature specific for Czech Republic, the so-called "literatura faktu" or "literature of (a) fact(s)", is better defined both as a concept and as a term. Chapters 1 to 3 are striving to find a better definition of non-fiction literature in Czech Republic, but they also concentrate on history of non-fiction in Czechia and Czechoslovakia and on its differences and similarities with Anglo-Saxon and international non-fiction. Fourth chapter of the thesis focuses on analysis and methodology used to find relevant research results. The fifth, sixth and seventh chapters are thoroughly investigating Czech internet to find results for non-fiction literature, while the eight chapter is summarizing all found information. Along with Summary itself, it puts newfound knowledge in context.

This thesis called The media reactions to Katerina Tuckova's novel Zitkovske bohyne outlines the life and work of novelist Katerina Tuckova and analyses responses to her third novel. It deals with professional reviews as well as reader's reactions on servers and social networks. It also maps the work of Jiri Jilik who's topic is very similar and explores reactions to his publication Zitkovske carovani: The true story of zitkovske bohyne. We focus on the content similarities and relationship between those two pieces of work, also on the methods of work that the authors used. The thesis also analyses the circumstances of a dispute between Katerina Tuckova and Jiri Jilik and also between Katerina Tuckova and some inhabitants of Moravske Kopanice. We mostly think about the relationship between fictional and fact level of a historic novel. In the thesis not only we use the books of both authors but also interviews with Katerina Tuckova and articles from periodicals. The reviews are mostly from periodics Host, Tvar, Lidove noviny and MF Dnes. We also use interner servers dealing with this topic. In the theoretical part we derive from works od Jonathan Culler, Lubomir Dolezal, Pavel Janousek etc. The interview with Katerina Tuckova is attached.¨
