Frídlová, Klára ; Pech, Milan (advisor) ; Czumalo, Vladimír (referee)
The thesis deals with the topic of the representation of the Christian themes in the Old and New Testament in the Czech art in the forties and fifties of the twentieth century. There are two time spans that are observed. The first one begins with the commencement of the Second World War and ends in 1948. The second period dates from 1948 until 1960. The text attempts to capture the biblical motifs that appeared most frequently in the works of artists during the 1940s and 1950s. Furthermore, it tries to explain why authors chose the given biblical motifs. This work is dedicated to the artists who were working with the Christian themes for their whole life as well as to those whose works were influenced by these subjects for only a short period of time. Keywords biblical themes, the Old Testament, the New Testament, crucifixion

Graffiti and his "space" - graffiti in the context of space, architecture and town
Levý, Martin ; Czumalo, Vladimír (advisor) ; Půtová, Barbora (referee)
Graffiti and his "space" - graffiti in the context of space, architecture and town This work presents a more indepth analysis of the graffiti phenomenon. It aims to analyse this phenomenon in the context of urban environment, or, more precisely, the metropolis, as it would be impossible to study graffiti outside the context of modern urban space. It expands the arguments and theories outlined previously and deals with the theory of spaces and "non-spaces". It analyses graffiti in terms of its "non- visuality", language, text and communication and explores further arguments for its possible acceptance within the sphere of visual arts. Our analysis has led us to believe that graffiti is a phenomenon with multiple functions and that visuality is only one of them, existing as part of a larger cluster of other features and functions it fulfills within culture and subcultures.

Prague and Florentine neoreneissance architecture
Boháčová, Kateřina ; Czumalo, Vladimír (advisor) ; Hoftichová, Petra (referee)
The recovery of the historicist style s was caused by the inconsistence of the period that took the past as something perfect and incomparable, but at the same time wanted to be distanced from it. Architecture helped the people to cross the chasm between the period before and after the industrial revolution. The fact that one had around him modem buildings, in technical sense, that cited the past, could give him a feeling that he lived in the past and present at the same time. This thesis would like to present the architecture in the cultural and historical context of the 19th century and show a least a lirtle bit of its connections with the society, ideas, preference s and abilities to face up to changes, and as well as to find the moments that led to the comeback of the renaissance period. It tries to show both critical and adoring views on historicist architecture that was appreciated in recent time. The first part of the thesis presents the historical and cultural situation in both countries because this fact could help to understand the ideological origins of the neo-renaissance architecture. It shows the opinions of the specialists on the historici st architecture. The thesis is focused on Prague and Florence and tries to discover the reasons why the renaissance style was in these countries so admired...

V soucasnosti vice nez polovina lidf poprve v historii lidstva zije v urbanizovanem prostredf.

Women of the group UB 12 in the context of contemporary Czech culture
Štroblová, Kateřina ; Czumalo, Vladimír (advisor) ; Hoftichová, Petra (referee)
The era of the years 1948 - 1968 in Czechoslovakia was full of historical reversions and events. Also sociocultural scene passed in this period through important changes. From the repressions of the fifties through "the golden sixties" to the "normalisation" of the seventies; all in the shadow of communistic totality. Beside the official art under the dictate of socialist realism the antinomie movements occured here; connecting at prewar modem and avantgarde at the beginning. After enforcing the abandoning of the interdict of art groups, the artists began to associate themselves to different groups, based on friendship or collective artistic opinions. One ofthese groups was UB 12, founded in 1959. The artists ofthe group were of different age; beside of friendship the admiration for French culture and art and also the "poetics of everyday life" was the link between some of them. The group broke after the year 1968. Although the group wasn't united in artistic manners and didn't have the collective manifesto (which often led to its evaluation as average or inexpressive ), it assumed important place in the Czech art. Many of its members (like Václav Boštík, Stanislav Kolíbal, Adriena Šimotová) are considered as ones of the most outstanding artistic personalities of the Czech art of the second half of201 h...

Horse in the frame of human culture
Reinbergerová, Anna ; Czumalo, Vladimír (advisor) ; Opletalová, Lenka (referee)
The dissertation "Horse in the history of human culture" presents a summary of a history of horse in the human culture. Horses have played a significant role in homo sapiensis evolution ever since it came to Eurasia. From beeing hunted for food, horses soon turned in the process of domestication into working, riding and driving animals of significant importance. In different cultures and epochs, different types of horses of different purposes have been emerging. But since its domestication, horses have allways been tellig a story of culture in its time and space. This is why this topic is a part of the wide array of interest of the therory of culture. In this dissertation, I chose to catch a relation of horses and culture in the historic circumstancies. I hoped to connect my experience with horses with scientific literature on this topic, historical facts and presently existing historical artefacts related to horses. In most of scientific and historical literature, many notes on horses may be find, but mostly they are interpreting the facts wrogly, and sometimes they are even wery far from the truth. the historicians usualy lack the needed knowledge of hipology, etology and zoology. It is common that mainly the horse illustrations are incorrectly described and understood. In the hipological literature, on...

The problematic of the culture in Ostrava (the opimon of professionals)
Vrtil, Ivo ; Matějů, Martin (advisor) ; Czumalo, Vladimír (referee)
Záměrem této práce je nastínit obraz kultury a kulturních významů, které tvoří současné město Ostrava a přilehlý širší region, specifický genius loci a jeho vytváření, a to zmínkou o historii města, dále pomocí vybraných kulturních prvků, ale především provedeného průzkumu mezi odbornou veřejností z oblasti kultury, který má za cíl pokusit se zmapovat jaký má a může mít kultura v současné době v tak specifickém městě, jako je Ostrava, význam a v jakém stavu jsou ostravské kulturní instituce. Historii zmíním od prvního osídlení v oblasti, první písemné zmínky a následný vývoj ve středověku až po význam industriální revoluce na konci 18. a především v 19. století. V tomto významném období se pokusím nastínit hlavní migrační pohyby a nálady obyvatel a jejich motivace, zmíním demografický vývoj oblasti Ostravska se specifickým způsobem bydlení a zvyky imigrantů, kteří přicházeli do tohoto regionu. Poukáži na významné, především stavební a městotvorné počiny v období tzv. první republiky, dále v období po roce 1948, pro srovnání rovněž spíše z hlediska urbanistického, až do ukončení těžby uhlí a výroby železa na území města Ostravy. Domnívám se, že tyto elementy kultury, které měly nebo mají pro město zásadní význam, pomohou v této diplomové práci syntézou vytvořit jako mozaika určitý vjem a povědomí o městě....
