The subject of the thesis is the problem of portrayal of the elderly in Vecernicek animated cartoons for children. Content analysis is conducted on twenty-two selected animated Vecernicek stories that portrayed older characters (371 cartoons for a total of 2974 minutes). The objective of this paper is to examine the depiction of the elderly in Vecernicek cartoons and to point out age stereotypes. The first part of the paper consists of a theoretical framework necessary for the subsequent analysis, particularly media depiction, media representation, construction of reality, the relationship between media depiction, reality and stereotyping, which are then accompanied by characterization of the stories, their meaning and also by definition of old age. Next, all twenty-two analyzed cartoons are briefly introduced. Quantitative content analysis is conducted to examine the frequency and context of depiction of male and female elderly characters, and the overall message. Using qualitative content analysis, six coherent groups of media depiction of the elderly are created, then using semiotic analysis, six specific examples of age portrayal in Vecernicek cartoons are introduced.

The Fairy Tale Test (FTT) is a projective personality test designed for children aged 6 to 12 years. FTT is based on the association between fairy tales and unconscious processes. Its goal is to assess the child's personality profile and to offer information not only about single personality traits but also their interrelations. It is possible it effectively employed as a method to assess eventual personality changes over time or as a tool in clinical or cross-cultural research as well. The Fairy Tale Test was standardized in five countries of the world Greece, Russia, China, India and Turkey, at the present time we effort to set up standard specification also in the Czech Republic. This diploma paper should also contribute to the standardization with administrating FTT and its evaluation to the selected sample of six and seven-years old children. Key words Fairy tales, interpretation of the fairy tales, projective tests, the Fairy Tale Test, younger school age.

Partindo-se do pressuposto de que o foco da presente tese, o livro ilustrado de conto de fadas, consiste em um objeto artístico multissemiótico estruturado a partir de três sistemas de linguagem, a saber, a palavra, a imagem e o design, procura-se, aqui, compreender como esses três sistemas se articulam entre si com vistas à geração de sentidos. Por esse motivo, parte-se da semiótica peirciana como fundamentação teórica para perquirir essa questão, com o auxílio de semióticas específicas voltadas à análise da imagem. Assim, procura-se investigar as propriedades semióticas e fenomenológicas dos principais tipos de signos encontrados no seio dessas obras. Entre os objetivos específicos, encontram-se a investigação dos termos da conjugação livro ilustrado/conto de fadas, a construção verbovisual das personagens e ambientes nas obras principais do corpus (Grimm-Janssen e Grimm-Pacovská) e a comparação entre essas obras e as chamadas ilustrações de tradição, integrantes de livros com ilustrações de contos de fadas. Para realizar a leitura das textualidades presentes no corpus principal e expandido, procura-se verificar como cada semiose funciona, de acordo com o eixo ao qual pertence, e como se integra aos signos dos demais códigos, proporcionando uma direção de sentido geral. Parte-se do princípio de que cada interpretação de signos, principalmente aqueles mais ambíguos e com formas mais obscurecidas, consiste em um interpretante dinâmico que ruma em direção a um interpretante final ideal, porém, na realidade, inatingível. A análise das obras nos leva a concluir que as propostas contemporâneas, ao gerarem potencialmente maior estranhamento e suscitarem questionamentos e dúvidas junto ao leitor-visualizador, representam um desafio perceptivo/sensorial e intelectual maior que aquele representado pela ilustração/arte de tradição, gerando potencialmente maior carga de sensação, pensamento e choque. / Based on the assumption that the focus of the present thesis, the fairy-tale picturebook, consists of a multisemiotic artistic object structured upon three language systems, namely word, image and design, the goal of this work is to understand how these three systems articulate with each other by generating meanings. For this reason, the work is based on Peircean semiotics as a theoretical basis to investigate this question, with the help of specific semiotics aimed at image analysis. Thus, it is sought to investigate the semiotic and phenomenological properties of the main types of signs found within these works. Among the specific objectives are the investigation of the terms of the relationship picturebook / fairy tale, the verbal construction of the characters and environments in the main works of the corpus (Grimm-Janssen and Grimm- Pacovská) and the comparison between these works and the so-called traditional illustrations, parts of illustrated fairy tale books. In order to read and understand the textualities present in the main and expanded corpus, we try to verify how each semiosis works, according to the axis to which it belongs, and how it integrates with the signs of the other codes, providing a general direction of meaning. It is assumed that each interpretation of signs, especially those of more ambiguous and more obscured forms, consists of a dynamic interpretant that heads towards an ideal final interpretant that is, in reality, unattainable. The analysis of the works leads us to conclude that contemporary proposals, by generating potentially greater strangeness and raising questions and doubts for the reader-viewer, represent a perceptual / sensorial and intellectual challenge greater than that represented by traditional illustration / art, potentially generating a greater burden of sensation, thought and shock.

Os contos de fada de George MacDonald são obras de grande influência no âmbito da literatura infantil, particularmente no caso de autores como Lewis Carroll e C. S. Lewis. De fato, muitos apreciaram suas histórias enigmáticas, que misturam humor e reverência, nonsense e sentido, luz e escuridão. Apesar disso, no contexto do português brasileiro, poucos dos seus contos de fada estão traduzidos e há ainda menos crítica literária disponível. Aqui procuro ajudar a preencher ambas essas lacunas ao produzir uma tradução comentada de três de seus contos de fada. O objetivo é realizar um estudo que encontre algumas das características literárias mais importantes nesses contos e, então, produzir uma tradução que leve em conta as percepções proporcionadas por esse estudo. Este trabalho contém, então, um exame crítico dos contos de fada de MacDonald, uma consideração sobre como traduzi-los, os três contos de fada em formato bilíngue (incluindo a fonte em inglês e a tradução para o português) e, também, uma seção comentando minhas escolhas de tradução e como elas se relacionam com as análises feitas. / George MacDonald\'s fairy tales are works of great influence in the realm of children\'s literature, particularly so for authors such as Lewis Carroll and C. S. Lewis. Indeed, many have enjoyed his enigmatic stories, which blend humor and reverence, nonsense and meaning, light and darkness. In spite of that, in the context of Brazilian Portuguese, few of his fairy tales are translated, and there is even less literary criticism available. Here, I aim to help fill both of those gaps by producing a commented translation of three of his fairy tales. The goal is to carry out a study which finds out some of the most important literary characteristics in these tales, and then produce a translation that is mindful of the insights provided by that study. This work contains, then, a critical appraisal of MacDonald\'s fairy stories, some consideration on how to translate them, the three fairy tales presented as bilingual texts (including the English source and the translation to Portuguese), and also a section commenting on my translation choices and how they relate to the analyses made.
