    Title: 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. Keywords: Mesoscale convective system, lightning activity, lightning detectio

    Linguistic 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 162 Michaela Bürger-Koftis, Ramona Pellegrino 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

    The 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

    Hervé Guibert: Resurrection of the Author

    No full text
    1 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

    In 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
