Předběžná náplň práce

Vědecké posouzení postavy Humberta Humberta z románu Nabokova "Lolita" ho zpravidla popisuje jako postavu poutavou a přesto mravně vadnou. Proto by bylo zajímavé prozkoumat jeho neřestné názory a sexuální sklony v kontextu lidského pohledu na ženskou zralost a pohlavní dospělost v průběhu historie. Tato bakalářská práce si neklade za cíl ospravedlnit pedofilii, avšak zaměřuje se na poskytnutí historického rámce k tomu, abychom porozuměli, (1) proč široce rozsáhlý kulturní relativismus nepřipouští pedofilii a (2) jak některé historicky zakořeněné postoje lidstva vůči ženské zralosti odpovídají Humbertovým sklonům.

Předběžná náplň práce v anglickém jazyce

The scholarly appraisal of Nabokov´s Humbert Humbert generally sees him as a very intriguing yet morally flawed character. It is therefore interesting to see his depraved views and sexual tendencies within the context of how people have historically thought about female nubility and maturity. The thesis does not seek to de-stigmatise paedophilia, yet it aims at providing some historical framework towards understanding (1) why the widely embraced cultural relativism does not exonerate paedophilia and (2) how some historically-grounded attitudes of humankind towards female maturity align with Humbert Humbert´s tendencies.
