Graveyard Book as a Bildungsroman
Vondráčková, Michaela; Bubíková, Šárka; Kalavská, Petra
2015 - English
This thesis searches for the aspects of Bildungsroman in Neil Gaiman's The Graveyard Book (2007). In the initial part of the paper, the origins, definitions and features of the genre are presented. The second half of the theoretical background introduces the novel in terms of other genres, such as fantasy and horror, and also describes its connection to The Jungle Books by Rudyard Kipling. The analytical part essentially searches for the defying moments in the hero's life and describes how those events and situations influence the character's development and the hero's becoming.

House and Home and Their Experience in Susan Hill's Prose Fiction
Kanitrová, Alice; Vít, Ladislav; Bubíková, Šárka
2015 - English
The main concern of this thesis is to depict the subjective experience of house and home in the selected prose fiction (I'm the King of the Castle, In the Springtime of the Year, The Beacon, The Woman in Black) by a British author, Susan Hill. The theoretical part attempts to provide an outline of the core ideas of Phenomenology and Humanistic geography, which serve as a point of departure for the subsequent analysis. The analytical part investigates the subjective experience, positive or negative, of house and home through the eyes of Hill's characters. The thesis concludes with a summary of findings.

Analysis of material deformation response to dynamic tensile tests
Kayaalp, Bekir; Culek, Bohumil; Čapek, Jan
2015 - English
The material dynamic behaviour of components of rail vehicle subjected to impact loading is of great importance in terms of evaluating dynamic strength behaviour and stress-strain responses. It is also quite necessary objective to be able to understand the strengthening mechanisms depending
on rate of loading during impact. For these purposes, it is mainly aimed to examine effects of stress distribution and dynamic peak forces corresponding each time step of the impact loading in this study. Besides, the position of strain gages incrementally placed over the surface of the specimens to analyse plastic deformations and impact forces. In order to perform experiments, a pendulum impact test method is proposed after making static calibrations of the strain gauges in a conventional tensile test machine. Therefore, eleven samples are prepared in which strain gauges are positioned at an equal interval from the fracture zone in order to measure time history plot of the dynamic forces. Throughout the study, the general principles and fundamentals about the dynamic strengthening mechanism, experimental procedure and preparation of samples including the all test equipment are sufficiently estimated in detail. Consequently, the signal values measured during the impact are converted into force-time plots and the results are tried to be investigated in terms of strengthening mechanism and material response in plastic region. In addition, an overview of the ability of material dynamic elongation response under crash process are presented for selected samples. It is certainly pointed out that for the regions near the fracture zone exhibits high plastic deformation and residual forces as a result of high amount of vibration and material heterogeneity. For the regions distant from the fracture zone, a more uniform and stable characteristics of material impact behaviour are observed.

Postmodernism in the Works of Jon Scieszka
Zímová, Michaela; Bubíková, Šárka; Vít, Ladislav
2014 - English
This paper discusses postmodernism and its features in contemporary fairy tales, particularly in the context of two selected works of Jon Scieszka - The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs and The Other Frog Prince. Its main aim is to present Jon Scieszka as a postmodern writer and to target postmodern techniques and features that Scieszka implements in his works. In the initial, theoretical part of the paper, children's literature - folk tales, fairy tales, picture books - and postmodernism and its techniques are discussed in order to present and define the terms used in the analytical part. The analytical part consists of two chapters focused on Scieszka's postmodern fairy tales which are put into contrast with their traditional predecessors, The Story of the Three Little Pigs by Joseph Jacobs and The Frog Prince by Edgar Taylor.

Subject Complement Clauses in Fiction and Their Translation
Syrový, Jindřich; Hornová, Libuše; Ježková, Šárka
2014 - English
This master thesis examines subject complement clauses in English fiction and their Czech counterparts. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the clausal forms of the subject complement in English sentences and their syntactic counterparts in the Czech translations. The analysis of correlations between the individual forms of the subject complement and their Czech syntactic counterparts reveals the characteristic features of both languages.

Anne Boleyn in Popular Fiction
Runštuková, Iveta; Roebuck, Olga; Vít, Ladislav
2014 - English
The subject of this master thesis is Anne Boleyn, Queen of England living in the sixteenth century, and the second wife of King Henry VIII. This thesis deals with the portrayal of Anne Boleyn in the two popular fiction novels, The Lady in the Tower by Jean Plaidy and The Other Boleyn Girl by Philippa Gregory. Firstly, popular fiction is characterised, especially the genre of popular biography which is compared to the genre of authentic biography. Then the attention is focused on the selected aspects of Anne Boleyn's life, such as family background, education, character and beliefs, possible reasons of her fall into disgrace, and her death. This paper presents, analyzes and compares the possibilities of the image of the historical personage in popular literature with the help of so far available historical information.

Queen Victoria in Popular Fiction
Šramhauserová, Petra; Roebuck, Olga; Bubíková, Šárka
2014 - English
This master thesis deals with the portrayal of the Queen Victoria captured in two works of popular fiction written as autobiographies and memoires. The analysis traces level of historical accuracy in works of popular fiction, further aspects of Victorian society along with the question of womanhood as a main motive of the story of not only the Queen but rather a woman, mother and a widow. Firstly, a problematic nature of popular fictions is discussed along with the phenomenon of mass culture and literary versus popular fiction. Secondly, key principles of autobiography and memoir are introduced. The practical part comprises of juxtaposition of fact and fiction demonstrated on I, Victoria by Cynthia-Harrod Eagles and Victoria Victorious by Jean Plaidy. Further, womanhood with its components such as motherhood, childbearing, widowhood, marriage, love and emotions are addressed. The way fictional story is mounted on history is summarized and evaluated in conclusion.
