The Contrast of life and death in works of J. K. Šlejhar
Krčálová, Tereza ; Heczková, Libuše (advisor) ; Mravcová, Marie (referee)
The thesis focuses on J. K. Šlejhar's literary work from two points of view. The first part introduces Šlejhar's work in the contemporary literary context as a result of a synthesis of new literary styles. In the second part the thesis concentrates on a textual analysis and reconstruction of the author's "artistic world". The first part of the thesis gives insight into the contemporary discussions aimed at revising and redefining the function of art with respect to the new development in society and new human needs. The critical reception of realism and naturalism and the reflection of the then wide-spread adoption of new influences from foreign literatures are also dicussed. To draw a comparison, we quote both period and current studies dealing with J. K. Šlejhar's work. Thereby we want to demonstrate the changing requirements of literature and art and the changing perception of a literary work throughout time. The second part of the thesis comprises the textual analysis of Šlejhar's selected writings from the point of view of semiotic literary theory and the reconstruction of the author's "artistic world". Such approach enables us to draw comparisons to Russian literature of the 19th century, primarily with the works of N. V. Gogol and F. M. Dostoyevsky, and to discover a common basis for both...

Relationship of artists to an artistic norm
Záleská, Eva ; Hájek, Martin (advisor) ; Svobodová, Ludmila (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with the problem of relation of fine artists towards the artistic norm. Artistic norm consists of an aesthetic norm and other social norms related to the artistic field. The first part of the thesis is devoted to the presentation of current knowledge about the study area, mainly theoretical approach of the aesthetic norm of Jan Mukařovský, analytical concept of social field, described by Pierre Bourdieu and concept of art worlds presented by Howard Becker. Research shows that artists perceive the aesthetic norm as an integral part of a broad normative group. It is important to take a good position in the hierarchically structured artistic field. Artists are trying to differentiate themselves not only in the mainstream, but also within the artistic field. This is ensured by their authentic design and unique style. Unlike the initial literature, research confirms that artists reflect their pragmatic interests and do not fear the loss of legitimacy of their artistic activities.
