The myth of the literary
Matysová, Daniela ; Kubalík, Štěpán (advisor) ; Kaplický, Martin (referee)
This diploma thesis is concerned with possible connection between literary theory of Wolfgang Iser and analytic philosophy of language.

I want to explore Michael Dummett's and Donald Davidson's dispute over the role of conventions and questions about their indispensability in linguistic communication.Whereas their own opinions converge in view of the fact that influence of society on human thought is radically irreducible, there is great difference between their beliefs in the necessity of conception of rules inherent in social linguistic practice.

Reception of Deml´s prose poetry Hrad smrti and Tanec smrti

This bachelor thesis focuses on the readers' reception of Jakub Deml's works of poetical prose, specifically Hrad smrti and Tanec smrti from the perspective of Constance school of reception aesthetics. The theory is based mainly on the texts of German literary theorist Wolfgang Iser. The analysis of Deml's work is considered in the context of literary expressionism and is based mainly on Iser's take on empty spaces that enable the reader to connect the different perspectives in the text through the narrator, characters, story and a fictional reader "written in" the text. Unambiguity in the text creates a need to further specify its different aspects and this task is left to the reader.
