No full textTitle: Lightning activity in the regions of MCS over Czechia Author: Michaela Arnoštová Department: Department of Atmospheric Physics Supervisor: Mgr. Michal Žák, Ph.D., Department of Atmospheric Physics Abstract: This bachelor's thesis deals with lighting activity and its detection in mesoscale convective systems (MCS) over the Czech Republic and adjacent areas. The first part describes the formation and development of MCS, electrical charge distribution inside clouds, types of lightning and their detection. The second part is devoted to five specific MCS that occurred in different time periods. Data of lightning detection network (LINET) are used to describe the characteristics of lightning, especially their temporal and spatial development, occurrence of different types of lightning and development of their current amplitude and altitude.

Riflessioni linguistiche sul tedesco e sul russo in Julya Rabinowich: un confronto tra narrazione autobiografica orale e il romanzo Spaltkopf
No full textLinguistic Reflections in German and Russian in Julya Rabinowich: A Comparative
Study of Oral Autobiographical Narrative and the Novel Spaltkopf.
The Austrian author Julya Rabinowich, born in Leningrad in 1970 to a family of Rus-
sian Jews and emigrated to Vienna at the age of 7, is one of the most renowned repre-
sentatives of contemporary literature in the German language. Rabinowich made her
literary debut in 2008 with Spaltkopf (Split Head), her most strongly autobiographical
novel. In 2012, the writer was interviewed by Michaela Bürger-Koftis as part of the
research project Polyphonie. Mehrsprachigkeit_Kreativität_Schreiben. This interview
can be understood as a linguistic biography, as Rabinowich recounts her experiences
related to the languages in her linguistic repertoire, focusing particularly on German
and Russian. From this account, the author’s Spracheinstellungen (linguistic attitudes),
as well as the impressions and emotions related to her two main languages, emerge.
The aim of this study is to compare the interview passages in which Rabinowich
expresses herself regarding German and Russian with excerpts from Spaltkopf where
the relationship of the protagonist, Mischka, with these two languages emerges. In this

way, it will be possible to determine whether Spaltkopf reflects not only the author’s
migratory experience but also her linguistic biography. Furthermore, it will be analyz-
ed if and to what extent the expression of linguistic attitudes and emotions related to
German and Russian differs between the novel and the oral autobiographical account.
To examine how Rabinowich expresses her linguistic experiences and emotions relat-
ed to German and Russian, a qualitative analysis of the texts will be conducted, with
a theoretical approach based on the concepts of linguistic biography and verbalization
of emotions developed by Brigitta Busch and Reinhard Fiehler

Michaela Pavlatova
No full textThe purpose of this text is to reassess the animation like an aesthetics human practice even out of the cinematographic field. An important resource are the Semir Zeki`s investigations about neuroaesthetics. Im going to review the origin and historic course of animation from the prehistory, bearing in mind the human evolutive process of perception (body-brain) and the human development from childhood that makes possible the existence of the animation.
For that, as example, Im going to put into context the animated Films of the czech filmmaker Michaela Pavlátová. Her live related to animation and the characteristics of her Films will appear as motive(motivation) to expand ideas like how the environment can influence the way to represent the space, or the relations between politic and czech animation, or how works the perception of color in the brain, or the importance of the faces in social relationships, and how that motives appears and becomes art across author hands
Gemeinsames Etwas - der österreichische Hörspielautor Helmut Peschina und sein Hörspiel "Die Strudlhofstiege" als transmediales Erzählwerk
No full textIm Rahmen des österreichischen Hörspielgeschehens widmet sich diese Arbeit dem aus Niederösterreich stammenden Hörspielautor Helmut Peschina und seinem Schaffen. So bietet der erste Themenblock Einblicke in Werdegang, Vorbilder, Schaffensprozesse und Aktivitäten des Autors. Darüber hinaus werden einige seiner prägnantesten Hörspiele näher beleuchtet. Zu seinen Arbeiten zählen auch Adaptionen von Romanwerken für das Hörspiel. Einige von ihnen wurden mit dem ORF-Hörspielpreis ausgezeichnet. Darunter befindet sich das Hörspiel „Die Strudlhofstiege“ nach dem berühmten Roman von Heimito von Doderer. Unter Einbeziehung der Methode einer transmedialen Analyse folgend der „Transmedialen Erzähltheorie“ Nicole Mahnes wird in zwei weiteren Themenblöcken das Hörspiel als transmediales Erzählwerk untersucht. Im Fokus stehen hierbei zum einen der Prozess der inhaltlichen Veränderungen von Roman zu Manuskript, zum anderen der Prozess der medialen Umformung von Text zu akustischem Werk. Ermittelt wird der narrative Kern, der beide Werke verbindet und als „kleinster gemeinsamer Nenner“ das „gemeinsame Etwas“ darstellt. Dabei liegt das Hauptinteresse nicht im Vergleich, sondern in der gegenseitigen Ergänzung, dem Zusammenfließen eines Erzählwerks in verschiedenen Jahrhunderten. Helmut Peschina hat den Roman als ein Stück Zeitdokument behandelt und „naturbelassen“ adaptiert, mit seiner Adaption insgesamt aber modernisiert, indem er wie ein Bildhauer, mit dem Schreibwerkzeug anstelle eines Meißels, den narrativen Kern „aus dem Materialblock“ gehauen hat, aus dem dann das Hörspiel hervorging. Dabei kam es zur Hervorhebung der interessantesten und spannendsten Erzählstränge, ohne die ursprüngliche Wirkungsweise des Romans zu verändern.This work concerns itself with the lower Austrian radio play author Helmut Peschina in the frame of the Austrian radio play scene. The first topic block gives insight into career, role models, creative processes and activities of the author. In addition some of his most formative radio plays are being examined more closely in this thesis. Among his works are also adaptions of novels for radio play. Some of them have been honored with the „ORF radio play award“. Amongst them is the radio play „Die Strudlhofstiege“ after the famous novel by Heimito von Doderer. Incorporating the method of transmedia analysis based on Nicole Mahne’s „Transmediale Erzähltheorie“ („Transmedia Narration Theory“) this radio play is being further analysed in two topic blocks as a transmedia narration. In focus are the process of content changes from novel to draft on the one hand and the process of medial transformation of text into an acoustic work on the other. The work determines the narrative core which connects both works and as „lowest common denominator“ forms the „common something“ („Gemeinsames Etwas“). The main concern is not the comparison but rather the mutual supplementation, the convergation of a narration in different centuries. Helmut Peschina treated the novel as a contemporary document and adapted it in a „natural way“, at the same time modernizing it, using his quill like a sculptor would use his chisel to hew the narrative core „from the material block“ from which the radio play arose. Resulting from this is a highlighting of the most interesting and suspenseful narrative threads without diminishing the original appeal of the novel
Hervé Guibert: Resurrection of the Author
No full text1 Michaela Rumpíková, Résurrection de l'auteur : Hervé Guibert Abstract Hervé Guibert's writings are shocking, revolting, surprising with their explicit and expressive content. The author's desire to show, to reveal and to expose himself transforms his private universe into a space where intimacy becomes extimacy. His exhibitionist project is accomplished with the assistance of a literary genre, autofiction, the new postmodern cosmos of the "I". This thesis seeks to analyse the notion and the modalities of his "I", intimately connected to the themes of body, illness, life, death and resurrection, in his literary chronicles of AIDS, To the Friend Who Did Not Save My Life, The Compassionnate Protocol, Modesty, or Immodesty and The Man in the Red Hat. The "I" of the autodiegetic narrator appears as fragmentary and unstable. His "self" configures and unconfigures at the same time. There is a sense of alienation from his own body which has been dramatically altered by the illness. As a consequence, we witness both physical and psychological defragmentation of the subject. The body, constituent of the "I" identity, gradually transforms into an impersonal "it", an entity apart. In order to (re)construct himself, the author uses various writing processes that help him become familiar with his new "self". Finally,..

Alla ricerca di un canone europeo tra plurilinguismo e multiculturalità
No full textIn Search of a European Canon between Multilingualism and Multiculturalism
The article's aim is to point out a series of problems related to 1) the “new” Europe, 2) the “European” canon, and 3) multilingualism and multiculturalism. The author moves from the evidence that the political priority of redesigning the enlarged European Union’s new borders involves the risk to let aside the equally or even more important task to redefine the “European” roots and to establish shared cultural values, and she raises the question of what is to be considered “Europe” and “European”.
Reviewing the fundamental works, which in an centripetal effort try to collect the basic
myths and themes of the Western and/or European cultural space, such as Stoffe der Weltliteratur by Elisabeth Frenzel (Stuttgart 19887), Dictionnaire des Mythes Littéraires, edited by Pierre Brunel (Paris 1988), The Western Canon by Harold Bloom (New York 1994), and Europa: tema y variaciones (Madrid 2000) by José Antonio Jáuregui, the author remarks that the contribution of the Eastern European countries to what should be a common inheritance seems to be very small or even non-existent. Since this disproportion cannot be ascribed to an inadequate cultural production, the only explanation remains a prevailing one-way influence from West to East . and not vice versa . and a consequent one-sided perception by European scholars. In order to establish a complete “European” canon, it is therefore necessary to enlarge the borders toward East and to include the Slavic area.
An opposite approach can be observed in language policy, which in a centrifugal effort, due to the objective difficulty to choose or produce a common European language, insists on an equal status for all European languages, from the major national languages to those of ethnic minorities, all to be preserved by means of “positive discrimination”. Besides the difficulty to govern a federation of countries with 11 official languages and over 40 idioms of ethnic minorities, there remains the evident contradiction of considering “European” all the languages included within the borders of the enlarged European Union, whereas a language as Russian, which has a weight both as a cultural and a vehicular language, will be considered a language of an ethnic minority in some peripheral states, such as the Baltic countries. On the way towards a “new” Europe, with cultural relativism on the one side and Realpolitik on the other, one should not leave centuries of historic development and cultural traditions out of consideration
