Krátká, Tereza ; Holub, Jiří (advisor) ; Sánchez Fernández, Juan Antonio (referee)
The aim of the work is to sum up main function of the metafictional narrative strategies in two Cervantes' Exemplary Novels - The dialogue between Scipio and Berganze and The deceitful marriage. At the beginning, the text is focused on composition of both novels, mainly on their narrative structure. In the next part, the work is concentrated on analysis of reminiscences relevant - as for novels' genre, language and style - for interpretation of metaficitonal narrative with respect to the period of baroque upcoming. Then, the narrative structure is compared with Cervantes' novel Don Quijote which is based on the same type of narrative strategy. The author comes to the conclusion that the primary function of the metafictional narrative strategies is a possibility to interpret the question of the truth in relation to the baroque reality of the 17th century in Spain. The main importance of the work is presentation of a detailed narrative scheme of two novels, up to now absent in majority of theoretical works aimed at Exemplary Novels composition. Key words: Miguel de Cervantes, Dialogue between Scipio and Berganze, El coloquio de los perros, metafiction, intertextuality, credibility, narrative strategies.

"Trap for the Reader" as a Narrative Strategy and Chances for Its Didactic Use
Kaleta, Juda ; Hausenblas, Ondřej (advisor) ; Kubíček, Tomáš (referee)
This thesis focuses on the concept of the trap for the reader, which is defined using the methodology of the cognitive science cognitive literary studies as an input of such structures and concepts in the text by which specific scheme is activated in the mind of the reader to be replaced by the different incompatible scheme. Based on this replacement, the comprehension of the text is reconstructed. Afterward, we describe specific types of trap for the reader. Every type of the trap is defined by replaced schemes: characters are prototypically an- thropomorphic, characters are black-and-white, characters are archetypes, the narrator speaks the truth, the genre is not changed. Excerpts of literary works are used to represent each type of trap. In the other part of the thesis, we demonstrate usage of this concept in the literature lessons at upper elementary and high schools. Both well-known pieces of the Czech literature, as well as contemporary young adult literature, are used as examples for the didactic use of this concept. Keywords cognitivism, cognitive literary studies, young adult literature, cognitive bias, critical thinking, functional literacy 5

The Influence of Virginia Woolf on Contemporary British Fiction in selected works by Pat Barker, Toby Litt and Ian McEwan
Kocianová, Tereza ; Chalupský, Petr (advisor) ; Ženíšek, Jakub (referee)
The aim of this bachelor thesis is to focus on the phenomenon of Virginia Woolf's influence on contemporary fiction. It attempts to demonstrate the frequent stylistic, thematic and personal imprint of Virginia Woolf in recently published works of British authors. Particular examples are drawn from Pat Barker's novels Life Class (2007) and Toby's Room (2012), Toby Litt's Finding Myself (2003) and Ian McEwan's Saturday (2005). The thesis concentrates on contextualising the allusions found in the four selected novels with the factual information from Woolf's life and her social, cultural and professional milieu. The literary modernist strategies, narrative techniques and characteristic themes employed in the works by Woolf are compared with those used in the selected novels. Key words: Virginia Woolf, Modernism, Bloomsbury Group, Allusion, Intertextuality, Themes, Narrative strategies
