When Colour Narrates: Colour as a Narrative Tool in Audio-visual Storytelling
Larsen, Morten ; JÍCHA, Marek (vedoucí práce) ; KLARICOVÁ, Kateřina (oponent)
This thesis explores the use of colour as a narrative tool within the realm of cinema. Even though colours have taken up a considerable role in the history of film, colour theory and colour aesthetic have not received reasonable attention in film studies compared to other fields. The thesis reflects upon why this might be the case based on the hypothesis by David Bachelor that a history long “chromophobia” has existed in the arts in the Western world. The paper then seeks to give an overview of relevant theory of colour that tries to shed light on the multiplex nature of colour itself, and in continuation to that, its ability to convey meaning within audio-visual story-telling. Finally, this paper shall investigate the selected works by three directors - Eric Rohmer, Rainer Werner Fassbinder and Alfred Hitchcock - that utilize colour narratively within their work but in various ways. It is the aim of this thesis that the analysis supported by theory shall prove the quality and unique property of colour in audio-visual storytelling.

Slovenian Art after the year 1980 and the group Irwin
Sadovski, Katarina ; Dvořák, Tomáš (vedoucí práce) ; Silverio, Robert (oponent) ; Klaricová, Kateřina (oponent)
In my thesis I dealt with Slovenian art after 1980. In the first part I presented political background of the time and its influence on Interrupted Histories, the subcultures and Slovene artists that sprang out of this scene. In the second part I assess the NSK with its NSK state, the group Laibach and what bears the higher significance of my thesis the collective Irwin. I focused on the field of their work and their main message being that no totalitarian system must never come back to life. They manage to convey their point of view on the subject by reviving the original totalitarian systems. I concluded that in the year 1980 Slovenian photography gained its independence.
