The paper focuses on a characteristic of Andrzej Zulawski’s aesthetics which has been ignored by most of the critics who emphasized the impact of surrealism and the taste for provocation in his cinema. Meanwhile, the œuvre’s French period is obviously characterized by self-reflexivity and media-reflexivity, autobiographical and literary background references. In these film dramas, the topic of love, beauty and artistic values are interconnected with a sophisticated narrative strategy using intermediality and intertextuality in a complex way. In Fidelity (La Fidelité, 2000), Żuławski put photography and literature in focus again in order to express thoughts and emotions in their complexity, surpassing the limitations of the linear narrative. A certain semiotic double-codedness is provided by either intertextual references or the hidden meanings based on the symbolic language of flowers, used as diegetic metaphors. Moreover, Żuławski thematizes photography that makes us conscious of our experiences from an aesthetic distance, even in an ironic manner.

In the last few decades, flowery female names have surged in popularity in Japan, along with other nature motifs, reflecting desired qualities and aspirations. Although plant motifs have always been found among female names, the popularity of particular plants has been changing, and some once common names have fallen into disuse, lacking any appeal to the modern Japanese. This paper examines plant motifs and their symbolism in recent female names compared to names bestowed a century ago, and discusses how these changes in plant selection reflect the changes in the values and priorities of Japanese society.

V posledních několika desetiletích jsou v Japonsku obzvlášť populární ženská jména s přírodními, především rostlinnými motivy, jež prostřednictvím nejrůznějších asociací a symboliky vyjadřují představy a přání rodičů vůči jejich dcerám. Ačkoli rostlinné motivy nalezneme v ženských jménech každé generace, popularita jednotlivých rostlin se s dobou mění a některé, dříve ve jménech zcela běžné motivy ze současných jmen téměř vymizely. Tento článek se zabývá rostlinnými motivy v současných ženských jménech ve srovnání se jmény volenými zhruba před sto lety a na základě toho si všímá, jak se mění hodnoty a priority japonské společnosti.
