Tato práce se zabývá problematikou termínu queer a jeho využití v románech Jamese Baldwina Giovanniho pokoj (Giovanni's Room 1956) a Jiná země (Another Country, 1962). Zabývá se tím, jakou podobu termín v románech zaujímá a jak je vyobrazen. Práce dochází k závěru, že termín queer je aplikovatelný i na černošskou problematiku, spojenou s rasou a tím pádem je aplikovatelný i na práci Jamese Baldwina, který je často označován jako autor pojednávající nejen o homosexualitě, ale i o problematice rasy.
Annotation in English
This thesis analyses the term queer and the applicability of the term on James Baldwin's novels Giovanni's Room (1956) and Another Country (1962). It examines how the term queer is exploited in the novels and which elements are used to picture the term. The thesis concludes that the term queer is applicable also for the African American literature, which is connected with racism and therefore also for James Baldwin's novels as James Baldwin is often labeled not only as an author who deals with homosexuality but also with problems of race.
