Resumé Diploma thesis Zagreb in Croatian urban prose at the turn of 20th and 21st century deals with roles and influence of the Croatian capital on main characters of selected works of mentioned authors. The turn of the century was chosen deliberately, due to the disintegration of Yugoslavia, subsequent war conflict in Balkan and postwar search for certainties. These factors led to migration of a huge amount of people, e.g. into the area of New Zagreb which is an important urban feature of Croatian metropolis and therefore of this thesis. This thesis will try to clarify through the main characters of selected works the turbulent events and uncertain life circumstances from the end of the previous century and from the beginning of the new one which meant for some people a change of their lifestyle and stabilized order.

La présence du dialogue romanesque ne peut en aucun cas se résumer dans un souci d’effet-de-réel dans la littérature du XXè siècle, de manière générale, et dans l’œuvre gracquienne de manière particulière. Il s’ensuit que l’un des objectifs de notre investigation revient à questionner le(s) rôle(s) joué(s) par le dialogue romanesque gracquien dans la représentation littéraire dans l’ensemble de son œuvre de fiction, mais également dans chacun des récits gracquiens étudiés pour voir s’il y a un changement et, par là, une spécificité au niveau du statut de cette forme d’écriture relative à chacun de ces récits ou au genre auquel il appartient. Notre principal souci consiste, donc, à montrer que le dialogue romanesque gracquien joue un rôle fondamental dans la construction du texte narratif. D’ailleurs, nous verrons que l’analyse de cet espace discursif précis permettra de relever un certain nombre de problèmes relatifs à l’interprétation et à la signification au sein du texte littéraire. / In the literature of the twentieth century, in a general way, and in the fictions of Julien Gracq, in a particular way, the presence of the dialogue cannot limit itself in the objective to represent the reality. It follows that one of the objectives of our investigation means questioning the roles played by the written dialogue in the representation within the novels of Julien Gracq but, at the same time, the diverse functions played by the written dialogue within the same novel. These operations are made to see if there’s a change and, consequently, a specificity in the status of the dialogue relative of gender of text from which the dialogue is extracted. Our main concern consists, thus, in showing that the written dialogue plays a fundamental role in the construction of the narrative text. Moreover, we shall see that the analysis of this discursive space will allow enumerating some problems relative to the interpretation and to the meaning within Julien Gracq’s text.

The diploma thesis analyzes the literary characters of Communist protagonists in the novels and short stories published in Czech literature of the last fifteen years. We assume that the time distance dynamically changes the concepts of the representations of the Communist protagonists. The aim of this work is not only to define the stereotypical traits that are associated with the figure of the Communists, but it also attempts to identify the practices of the lifting up of such protagonists from the traditional semiotic connotations. The thesis analyzes the characters of the Communists from the point of the thematic units, as they seem to be the most common semantic units for standard readers.

One of the first Village Prose writers was Yuri Kazakov. In his short stories about life in remote Russian villages, Kazakov was able to combine traditions of Tolstoy and Dostoyevsky with traditions of Turgenev and Bunin and created a unique style using psychological parallelism in lyrical prose. Through the aspects of village, nature, time, and native language, Yuri Kazakov exposed the life of the marginals. He was interested in individuals and their personal feelings and thoughts. He did not look at individuals as a part of society but rather as a part of and the creation of nature. Therefore, he found his characters in the remote Siberian villages where the Soviet regime and propaganda minimally influenced people’s lives and their traditional values. His characters cannot be characterized as simply good or bad. Through his characters, Kazakov investigated and explored the complexity of human nature, emotions, and motifs. In his stories, he was able to masterfully unfold human souls and draw their psychological portraits to address timeless philosophical questions about the purpose of live, moral choices, unity of people and nature

Les concepts de littérature et de musique ont toujours été liés depuis l'antiquité grecque. En effet, cette relation est le fruit de plusieurs affinités d'ordre esthétique qui les coordonnent dans la mesure où l’un structure et l’autre matérialise les données à exposer. Autrement dit, la littérature a toujours servi de structure ou de support au XX ème pour dire les phénomènes de langage qui incluent la mathématique, l’informatique et bien d’autres domaines. Aussi, l’esthétique musicale comportant essentiellement les codes rythmiques notamment les figures de silence, les codes acoustiques (notes de musique, instruments de musique), la fréquence des notes, leur hauteur et surtout leur amplitude; sous la forme musicale de la structure narrative, c’est-à-dire une articulation sémantique et discursive des mots et expressions qui cachent en réalité les codes de l’esthétique musicale se révèle une sorte de débordement de la diégèse....C'(est donc ce travail de correspondanc entre la discontinuité sémantique et discursive du texte du XXème siècle (contaminé par les codes de musique) et la constitution d'une partition musicale qui nous aidera à mieux cerner le lien entre littérature et musique... Notre étude prendra à cet effet appui sur quatre oeuvres : Tous les matins du monde de Pascal Quignard, Ritournelle de la faim de J.M G le Clézio, Les ruines de Paris de Jacques Réda et Jazz de Toni Morrison.... / Since ancient Greece, the music and literature concepts have always been linked. In fact, this relationship had started from the consequence of several aesthetic affinities that coordinate as much as one structure and one materializes the data to expose. In other words, literature has always served as a structure or support the twentieth century to say the language phenomena including mathematics, data processing and many other fields. Also, the musical aesthetics essentially containing the rhythmic codes including “figures de silence”, acoustic codes (music notes, musical instruments), the frequency of notes, especially their height and amplitude; under the musical form of the narrative structure that’s mean, semantic and discursive articulation of words and phrases that actually conceal codes music, reveals a kind of overflow of the literary text.....So, this work of correspondence between the semantic and discursive discontinuity text of the twentieh century (contaminated by the codes of music) and the creation of a musical game that will help us better understand the link between literature and music.... Our study supports on four works (books) : All the Mornings of the World Easter Quignar Ritournelle Hunger the JMG Le Clezio, The ruins of Paris Jacques Reda and Jazz bu Toni Morrison....
