Zásady pro vypracování

Tato diplomová práce zkoumá romány Sally Rooneyové Rozhovory s přáteli a Normální lidé z pohledu marxistické literární kritiky. Na základě autorčina vlastního výroku, dle kterého ve svém psaní užívá „marxistický rámec“ jako způsob popisu současného světa, si tato práce klade za cíl zanalyzovat již zmíněné romány s ohledem na Marxovu teorii. První část se zaměřuje na teoretický základ a hlavní myšlenky marxismu a marxistické literární kritiky. Dále je v ní nastíněno pojetí společenských tříd v Irsku a stručné představení názorů Sally Rooneyové, za účelem poskytnout kontext pro analýzu daných románů. Druhá část pak zkoumá romány jako takové, včetně jejich příběhů, prostředí, postav a názorů v nich představených. Tyto jsou analyzovány zejména ve vztahu k otázkám základny a nadstavby, silové dynamiky, třídní identity, sociálního postavení a vlivů ekonomické i kulturní a vzdělávací hegemonie.

This diploma thesis examines Sally Rooney’s novels Conversations with Friends and Normal People from the viewpoint of Marxist literary criticism. Based on the author’s own claim to incorporate “a Marxist framework” into her writing as a way of describing the surrounding world, the thesis, therefore, aims to explore the aforementioned novels with regard to Marx’s theory. The first part focuses on the theoretical background and principal thoughts of Marxism and Marxist literary criticism. Next, there is outlined the conception of social classes in Ireland and a brief introduction of Sally Rooney’s views in order to provide context to the novels. The second part of the thesis then applies the theoretical background to an analysis of the novels themselves. This includes their stories, settings, characters and conveyed ideas in relation to the issues of base and superstructure, power dynamics, class identity, social status and influences of economic as well as cultural and educational hegemony.
