(in English) In this diploma thesis we will focus on the current possibilities of using the region as a motive and an instrument of poetic narration on the Czech - polish example. In recent years, regional literature has represented widely discussed, yet still semantically and conceptually ambiguous field in the area of literary theory. First part of thesis represents the basic concepts for research of regionalism in literature and also works with selected theories of Czech and Polish literary theorists. Second part presents interpretative chapters, which are concentrated on a concrete schemes of region in poems collections by Czech and Polish poets.

The master’s thesis «“Poem Without a Hero” by Anna Akhmatova: Poetics of Inkompleteness» makes an attempt to investigate one of the main works of A. Akhmatova’s late period from the perspective of the phenomenon of incompleteness. The logic of studying is determined by two important aspects of the phenomenon – aesthetic and ontological. The first chapter is devoted to the theoretical grounds for the incompleteness. Some peculiarities of the verse ordonnance are considered in the second chapter. The specificity of the creative mind expressed in the fundamental text categories such as subjectival and spatiotemporal ordonnances is considered in the third chapter. Generally the master’s thesis is the basis for distinguishing some general principles of inkompleteness. These principles seem to be concerned with the «Poem Without a Hero» creative history. / В магистерской диссертации «“Поэма без героя” Анны Ахматовой: поэтика незавершенного» предпринимается попытка исследовать одно из главных произведений позднего творчества А. Ахматовой с позиции феномена незавершенного, выделение двух важнейших аспектов которого – эстетического и онтологического – обусловливает и логику работы. Первая глава посвящена обоснованию явления незавершенности, в том числе, разграничению понятий завершенное/незавершенное и законченное/незаконченное произведение; во второй главе рассмотрены некоторые особенности стиховой организации «Поэмы», в том числе специфика варьирования строфы; в третьей главе рассматривается специфика художественного сознания, явленная в таких текстообразующих категориях, как субъектная и пространственно-временная организации. В целом диссертация служит основанием для выделения нескольких принципов незавершенности, с которыми, как представляется, связана творческая история «Поэмы без героя».

Dans ce mémoire, j’analyse les trois pièces composées dans le cadre de ma maîtrise en musique, option composition et création sonore, à l’Université de Montréal. J’y décris mon processus de création et j’y présente les enjeux au cœur de ma démarche, notamment en ce qui concerne le volet narratif de mes œuvres et les impacts polystylistiques de cette narrativité. J’explique notamment comment je réconcilie la pluralité des sources d’inspirations puisées selon les besoins narratifs avec un désire d’uniformité esthétique et de cohérence formelle au sein de mes œuvres. Celles-ci sont donc présentées en ordre chronologique et vont comme suit : 1 : La prison de glace. Cycle de quatre poèmes pour baryton et piano d’une durée d’environ 15 minutes. 2 : L’épinette noire. Pièce narrativement abstraite écrite pour quatuor à corde d’une durée d’environ 5 minutes. 3 : La Dame blanche. Ballet pour orchestre symphonique inspiré de la légende de La Dame blanche de la chute Montmorency d’une durée d’environ 55 minutes. / In this thesis, I analyze the three pieces composed as part of my master's degree in music, option composition and sound creation, at Université de Montréal. I describe my creative process and I present the challenges that I faced throughout, especially regarding the narrative side of my pieces and its polystylistics impacts. I especially explain how I reconcile the plurality of inspirations drawn accordingly to my narrative needs despite a desire for aesthetic uniformity and formal coherence within each piece. They are therefore presented in chronological order and go as follows: 1: La prison de glace. A 15 minutes cycle of four poems for baritone and piano 2: L’épinette noire. Narratively abstract piece written for string quartet of about 5 minutes. 3: La Dame blanche. A 55 minutes ballet for symphonic orchestra inspired by the La Dame blanche de la chute Montmorency legend, lasting about 55 minutes. Keywords: Polyscalar Continuum, narrativity, composition, polystylism, ballet, quartet, poem, music

This master thesis is devoted to Jana Stroblova, the Czech poet, novelist and translator from Russian language. The thesis is aimed at several goals: 1) to summarize and unite the known facts about life of this author and try to capture her personality, 2) to describe the relationship of Jana Stroblova to the Russian poet Marina Tsvetaeva, as the vast part of Stroblova's translations is dedicated to her, 3) to establish the similarities between the personalities of Stroblova and Tsvetaeva as well as to find the parallels in their poems, and, afterwards, to clarify the reasons that led Stroblova to decision to translate Tsvetaeva, 4) to summarize the reflections of Stroblova's translations while emphasizing the translations of Tsvetaeva's work and to use these reflections to define Stroblova's translation methodology, 5) to confront the findings of the thesis with opinions of Jana Stroblova during an interview with her.

Gerard Manley Hopkins produced poetry in the Victorian era which was noted for its originality of syntax and form. The essence underlying a large body of his poetry was his Catholic religion. His early religious poetry utilized nature-based metaphors to express his love of Christ and trace the immanence of God within nature. He borrowed heavily from the aesthetics of Pater and the philosophy of Duns Scotus. The dissertation explores these early influences and assesses their contribution to the formation of a unique religious interpretation of life and the formulation of an aesthetic congruent with this religion. The dissertation dissects early symptoms of religious doubt within his poetry and finally analyses his `Terrible Sonnet' phase in detail to ascertain whether the crisis so often described as occurring during this period was religious or merely reflected a loss of creative ability. / English Studies / MA (English)

The poet Larry Levis often employed ekphrasis as an elegiac device—particularly with his verbal descriptions of photographic images—to explore human suffering and reconcile feelings of loss. Through the ekphrastic mode, Levis could juxtapose otherwise disparate images, manipulating their temporal and spatial relationships, to achieve what he conceived an authentic portrait of the human experience. The poet, through his verbal descriptions of photographic images, does not try to evade the pain or joy of being human; instead, he confronts his grief directly and, in so doing, transcends that suffering to better understand himself and his own human position. This thesis analyzes the following poems by Larry Levis: “My Only Photograph of Weldon Kees,” “García Lorca: A Photograph of the Granada Cemetery, 1966,” “The Assimilation of the Gypsies,” “Sensationalism,” and “Photograph: Migrant Worker, Parlier, California, 1967.”

The thesis examines the usage of the method of structured drama in explaining the content of a classical piece of music to pupils on Primary school. In the theoretical part, the arguments which support the combination of artistic domains - Music and Drama - from literacy sources are summarised. The connection is described from the point of view of cross- curricular relations, the activity basis of these domains and the similarities between them. The musical content is also analysed. The thesis focuses also on the used method, especially its goals, techniques and topics used on the Primary school. The research section describes hypothesis, methodology, preparation, realization and the results of an experiment, on several Primary schools. Experimental groups where introduced to the content of the B. Smetana's symphonic poem Šárka by structured drama. Control groups were familiarized with it only by reading and verbal explaining. The focus of the experiment was to compare the understanding of the content between these groups. Key words Structured drama, tale about Ctirad and Sarka, symphonic poem, B. Smetana, understanding, realization, Primary school, cross-curricular relations, listening.
