Abstract

Ovaj rad prikazuje analizu djela čeških autora znanstvene fantastike iz 20. i 21. stoljeća. Analiza drame R. U. R. (Rossumovi Univerzalni Roboti) Karela Čapeka i romana Umina verze Emila Hakla pruža detaljan uvid u autorov pogled na svijet, kritiku društva te ideologiju skrivenu iza radnje i dijaloga. Svrha ovog rada je pružiti čitatelju jasnu distinkciju između utopije i distopije, njihove definicije, karakteristike žanra, povijesni pregled djela pojedinog žanra te društveni okvir u kojem se utopija i distopija javljaju. Osim toga, u radu se nalazi definicija znanstvene fantastike te njezina pojava i razvoj od pulp časopisa, sve do ravnopravnog žanra književnosti. Istaknuta je i društvena uloga znanstvene fantastike, s naglaskom na obrazovnu ulogu. Uz pregled društveno-političke situacije u Češkoj od kraja 19. stoljeća pa sve do danas može se razumjeti zašto se u djelima određenog razdoblja oslikava nagli razvoj tehnologije i industrijalizacija te strahote totalitarnih režima.

Abstract (english)

This graduation thesis presents an analysis of the books of Czech science fiction from the 20th and 21st centuries. Analysis of the play R. U. R. (Rossum’s Universal Robots), author Karel Čapek and the novel Umina verze by Emil Hakl, provides a detailed insight into the author’s view of the world, criticism of society and the ideology hidden behind the plot and dialogue. The purpose of this paper is to provide the reader with a clear distinction between utopias and dystopias, their definitions, characteristics of the genre, a historical overview of books of a particular genre, and the social framework in which they occur. In addition, the thesis contains a definition of science fiction and its appearance and development from pulp magazines to an equal genre of literature. The social role of science fiction is highlighted, with an emphasis on the educational role. With an overview of the socio-political situation in the Czech Republic from the end of the 19th century until today, the reader can understand why books of a certain period illustrate the rapid development of the technology and industrialization and the horrors of totalitarian regimes.
