Diploma thesis Inner Emigration of Jan Zábrana and Osip Mandelstam examines the relationship between a poet (Osip Mandelstam) and his translator who is also a poet (Jan Zábrana). It shows connections between their life experiences, and the way these moments affected their own poetics. Simultaneously, it finds out if and to which degree Mandelstam- poet influenced the poetry of Jan Zábrana. The analytical part of the thesis compares Czech translations (by Jan Zábrana and Jiří Kovtun) of Mandelstam's poems Петербургские строфы, Концерт на вокзале, Еще не умер ты...

The thesis focuses on the personality and composer work of the contemporary Czech composer Jan Bernatek. The life and professional career of the composer are introduced; a large part of the thesis is dedicated to the author's compositions focusing on pieces meant for vocal ensembles. Essential pieces of his work were chosen from a complete list of all choir pieces, and these are introduced to a deeper extent. The most space is given to the choral piece Missa brevis and the folk cycle Mezi dvěma vinohrady. Musical analyses of these compositions contain the complete text documents and are accompanied by score samples. The scores of both given pieces are part of the thesis. We tried to describe characteristic features in Bernatek's work and to specify his compositional techniques on the basis of detailed analyses of fifteen pieces. A separate chapter is given to his composer's successes and awards.

A pesquisa se propõe a analisar a técnica de animação pixillation como linguagem específica, traçando relações deste tipo de animação com estudos ligados à imagem e ao movimento. Para isto, proponho atribuir ligações do pixillation com os trickfilms do early cinema, no âmbito da perspectiva mágica dos truques da técnica; estabelecer paralelos entre a prática fotográfica e a prática cinematográfica, utilizando-me de ambas as linguagens para avaliar questões do pixillation sob aspectos que dialogam com o conceito de magia e sua relação com as imagens técnicas; e, com base nos trabalhos em pixillation de Norman McLaren e Jan Svankmajer, entender a técnica como proposta poética e estética de linguagem audiovisual. Assim, através dos aspectos técnicos do pixillation, destacarei as potencialidades mágicas desse tipo de animação. / The research aims to analyze the technique of pixillation animation as specific language, tracing relationships of this type of animation with studies of image and movement. For this, I propose: assign connections of pixillation with the trickfilms of the early cinema, within the perspective of magic tricks of this technique; draw parallels between the photographic practice and the film practice, using both languages to evaluate the pixillation issues in ways that dialogue with the concept of magic and its relationship with technique images; and based on the work in pixilation of Norman McLaren and Jan Svankmajer, understand the technique as a poetic and aesthetics proposal of audiovisual language. Thus, through the technical aspects of pixillation, I will highlight the magical potential of this type of animation.

Esta tese é um estudo da figura de Jan Hus, tradicionalmente conhecido como reformador religioso da Boêmia do século XV, olhando-o sob a perspectiva da História da Educação. Inspirados nas propostas metodológicas de Carlo Ginzburg para a construção da narrativa histórica a partir do estranhamento das fontes, o paradigma indiciário, analisamos as cartas escritas por Hus. Iniciamos com um estudo de como essas cartas, escritas há quase seiscentos anos, podem ser lidas levando em conta sua historicidade, estrutura retórica, edição e tradução. Identificamos a rede de relações que essa correspondência engendrou e observamos uma intenção educativa da parte do autor das cartas ao escrevê-las. Selecionamos um conjunto de vinte e três cartas que denominamos de pastorais e nelas encontramos um padrão de escrita voltado a dar continuidade à tarefa pastoral que Hus realizava na Capela de Belém, constituindo sua ação educativa por meio de cartas. Também analisamos a relação educador-educando que Hus estabeleceu com seu discípulo Martin de Volyne. Por fim, partimos do relato de Petr de Mladonovice e das edições traduzidas das cartas de Hus para observar a construção, rememoração e recriação do legado educativo deixado por Hus de mártir e mestre defensor da verdade. Concluímos com um questionamento para a História da Educação do lugar que esse personagem ocupa atualmente e como esse lugar é, e pode ser, construído pelo historiador. / This thesis is a study of the figure of Jan Hus, traditionally known as the Bohemian religious reformer of the fifteenth century, looking at it from the perspective of the History of Education. Inspired by Carlo Ginzburg\'s methodological proposals for the construction of historical narrative from the strangeness of the sources, the evidential paradigm, we analyze the letters written by Hus. We begin with a study of how these letters, written nearly six hundred years ago, can be read taking into account its historicity, rhetorical structure, editing and translation. We identify the network of relationships that engendered this correspondence and watch an educational intention of the author of the letters on writing them. We selected a set of twenty-three letters that we called \"pastoral\" and in them we find a pattern of writing intended to continue Hus pastoral task that was performed at the Bethlehem Chapel, constituting its educational activities through letters. We also analyzed the relationship between educator-learner that Hus established with his disciple Martin of Volyne. Eventually, based on the report of Petr of Mladonovice and the translated editions of the letters of Hus we look into construction, remembering and rebuilding the educational legacy left by Hus of martyr and master defender of the true. We conclude with a question for the History of Education concerning the place that currently occupies this character and how this place is and can be constructed by the historian.

In this essay I have studied Aftonbladets portrayal of the Swedish businessman Jan Stenbeck and if the reporting changes before and after his death, and if so, in which ways. With help from a qualitative syntax analysis and a content analysis I studied my material about Stenbeck during the time period 2000-09-19 to 2004-09-19. In my quantitative analysis I studied 140 articles and in my syntax analysis I studied ten articles, five before and five after Stenbecks death. The theoretical perspectives that I applied in my study is Sigurd Allerns theory about tabloid papers novelty criteria and Adam Shehatas theory about Framing. Allerns theory describes what criteria the tabloid papers have on news and Shehatas theory about framing describes the political forces behind the news who wants to set their own agenda. The results from my quantitative study show that there is more sensational news about Stenbeck after his death rather than before. The news before his death was mostly about Stenbecks work. In the results from my qualitative analysis I found that the content among the articles after Stenbecks death were more negative than the ones before he’s death. This is partly due to the ideological standpoints that the authors of the articles take. In the end discussion I interpret the results from my analysis, by example how Aftonbladets yellow journalism affect their portrayal of Stenbeck in my opinion.
