Imagining the Worst: Ladislav Fuks' Contributions to Holocaust Fiction
No full textLadislav Fuks' works are under-recognized in English-speaking academic discourse. He is a valuable contributor not only to the Holocaust Literature genre, but also to film and literature in general. His two English-translated works, Mr. Theodore Mundstock and The Cremator, as well as the film adaptation of The Cremator, examine the role imagination can play in art that addresses atrocity, allowing for a heightened subjective impact on the audience. I critically and comparatively examine Fuks' work to establish his value to literature and Holocaust art. In the first chapter, I frame my argument with questions of art's abilities to represent atrocity and provide relevant background information relating to Fuks' and his experience in wartime Prague. In Chapter Two, I closely read Mr. Theodore Mundstock, concentrating specifically on Fuks' use of metaphor, presentation of incredulity, and commentary on the imagination's capabilities in confronting terror. Chapter Three compares Mr. Theodore Mundstock to the "Momik" section of David Grossman's See Under: Love, focusing on similarities between the title characters. Chapter Four examines Fuks' use of the grotesque in The Cremator and its film adaptation. Chapter Five compares Fuks' works to Aharon Appelfeld's novel Badenheim 1939, emphasizing each author's reliance on the audience's retrospective prescience, which provides a significant psychological impact and avoids contributing to the over-saturation of Holocaust information on the public. I conclude that Fuks should be more highly regarded and widely recognized both academically and in popular culture, as he exhibits similar features as other, more celebrated Holocaust writers, and his innovative contributions defend the value of literature in representing atrocity.Master of Art
Philosophy inspiration in selected works by Ladislav Fuks
No full textThe aim of this diploma theses is to find philosophical, religious and ideological motifs in the work of Ladislav Fuks and subsequently interpret their origin, intertextuality and meaning in the text. The emphasis is put on proving the semantic functionality in the story. For our research, we have selected following works: Mr. Theodore Mundstock, The Cremator, and Addressing from the Darkness. We will study philosophical and theological literature, as well as materials from the archives and from the estate of Ladislav Fuks in order to base all the findings on the biographical author, too. The thesis is divided into five chapters. In the first chapter we deal with basic literary characteristics of the selected books and their literary reception. The second chapter discusses Ladislav Fuks' relationship to philosophy, being anchored in both his friends' testimonies and the archival research of his estate. The third chapter is the most important and the most comprehensive one since it deals with the interpretation of philosophical motifs in each of the selected books. In the fourth chapter we compare individual philosophical motifs from different works with each other. We summarize the findings at the end of the theses

Ladislav Fuks and his work from the perspective of psychobiography
No full textThe aim of this bachelor's thesis is to understand the personality of the writer Ladislav Fuks using a psychobiographical approach. The thesis will incorporate selected works from his literary production, in which some taboo subjects from his private life are projected. The interpretation will be based on Sigmund Freud's psychoanalytic concept of psychosexual development. The theoretical part of the thesis will be devoted to an explanation of the psychobiographical approach and to information about selected phenomena of Freud's psychoanalytic theory. The thesis will also include the compilation of a detailed biography of the author. Information regarding biographical data will be drawn from primary sources (the author's memoirs) and secondary literature. The study of texts about Ladislav Fuks will serve not only to gain knowledge but also to discover themes and motifs not yet sufficiently reflected upon. On this basis, an adequate text corpus will be created, compiled from selected fictional works by Ladislav Fuks. These texts will first be presented in terms of content (with an emphasis on selected motifs), then in the research part, subjected to analysis using the qualitative method of coding (the thesis will also include visualization in tables). Categories will be created from the set of codes,..

Součástí práce bude zahrnutí vybraných děl z jeho literární produkce, v nichž se projikují některá tabuizovaná témata z jeho soukromého života. Interpretace bude vycházet z psychoanalytického pojetí psychosexuálního vývoje Sigmunda Freuda. V teoretické části práce bude věnován prostor výkladu o psychobiografickém přístupu a informacím o vybraných fenoménech Freudovy psychoanalytické teorie. Součástí práce bude rovněž sestavení podrobné biografie autora. Informace týkající se životopisných údajů budou čerpány z primárních zdrojů (autorovy paměti) i ze sekundární literatury. Prostudování textů o Ladislavu Fuksovi poslouží nejen k získání poznatků, ale i k objevení témat a motivů dosud nepříliš zreflektovaných. Na tomto základě bude vytvořen adekvátní textový korpus sestavený z vybraných beletristických děl Ladislava Fukse. Tyto texty budou nejprve představeny z hlediska obsahu (s důrazem na vybrané motivy), poté ve výzkumné části podrobeny analýze prostřednictím kvalitativní metody kódování (součástí práce bude i vizualizace v tabulkách). Ze souboru kódů budou vytvořeny kategorie, které se stanou základem pro interpretaci, jež bude vycházet z freudovské psychoanalytické teorie....Katedra psychologieFaculty of EducationPedagogická fakult

No full textTechnical advances and future perspectives in liver surgery
No full textThe current era of liver surgery is high- lighted by low morbidity and mortality rates, inno- vative efforts to increase resectability, and overall improved survival for patients with both primary and metastatic lesions. The complexity of liver anatomy combined with the presence of several major vascu- lar structures delayed the widespread application of minimally invasive surgical techniques to liver surgery compared to other intra-abdominal organs. However, our experience with minimally invasive surgery has greatly expanded over the past 20 years. Modern sur- gical techniques, emerging technologies, and novel chemotherapeutic agents have led to a significant increase in minimally invasive liver surgery world- wide. This review will focus on the modern technical advancements that make minimally invasive liver surgery successful and what we can expect in the future
