Exnerová, Kristýna ; Stahr, Radka (advisor) ; Březinová, Helena (referee)
(in English): This diploma thesis analyses how the identity of characters with a migration background is constructed in Scandinavian migration literature, focusing on language, culture, and national sentiment. With the help of social psychology, the first theoretical chapter introduces the concept of identity, whereas migration literature is presented in the second theoretical chapter. The centre of the practical analysis is the main characters in three Scandinavian novels, namely Enmandstelt by Alen Mešković, Tante Ulrikkes vei by Zeshan Shakar, and Kalla det vad fan du vill by Marjaneh Bakhtiari. The analyses' attention is aimed at the way language, cultural identity, and national identity contribute to the construction of each character's identity.
