Body, clothing and fashion from the viewpoint of philosophy and aesthetics
Beerová, Petra ; Jarošová, Helena (advisor) ; Kaplický, Martin (referee)
The submitted thesis will not be interested in the personality of people which are interested in the news from the fashion world but in all human beings for whom it is proper to cover their otherwise naked body. Since the Middle Ages the human body has been related to fashion. In the first step, we will investigate what the body is (phenomenological interpretation). This part serves the reader to connect the wider context. In the second part, we will clarify how to characterize clothing, what is its significance and its origin. In the third thematic circle we will connect the two previous levels of the issue and nowhere else than in the field of philosophy. This is the work in the less researched area of philosophy. The objective of the thesis we set is to map and describe the connections between body, clothing, and fashion within aesthetics concepts. We will try to answer the question why it is important to deal more with clothing within the framework of aesthetic and philosophical research.

The original experience in the thinking of Maurice Blanchot
Pola, Petr ; Ševčík, Miloš (advisor) ; Jarošová, Helena (referee)
The aim of this work is to present the original concept of art and its experience, which a French writer and a critic Maurice Blanchot described in his work at the end of the 1940's and at the beginning of the 1950's. At this time an effort to depict literature, or art in relation to the Original experience culminates in Blanchot's work. A work of art which has its origine in the Original experience is not incorporated into structures of the world. A work of art in this sense is not a form which is to be contemplated or understood. Art connected to the Original experience is perceived like "the exile of truth". The first part of this study deals with several features of the experience of art. First of all a level is defined, by creating the distinction between the concepts of Solitude in the World and Essential Solitude, into which art and its experience belongs. Afterwards, the primary relation for a writer - relation to "qui s'ecrit" is stated. Écriture (writing) does not represent activity here, it is revealed in its pasivity as "interminable, incessant". The writing points at the most essential feature of this level: specific time character. In this time a radical transformation of the subject, its interests and its objects happens. The last chapter of the first part is directed to the concept of Image,...

European lace of renaissance and baroque
Svobodová, Veronika ; Kybalová, Jana (advisor) ; Jarošová, Helena (referee)
Lace is a decorative ajour textile. Real laces can be divided into needle laces and bobbin laces. There are two types of bobbin laces: straight and part-lace. These both techniques were developed in the epoch of renaissance, in the first half of the 16th century. The needle lace was developed from a cutwork. The immediate precursors of the needle lace were "point coupe" and "reticella" techniques. The bobbin lace was developed from a passementerie. The bobbin laces as well as the needle laces appeared probably at once in Italy and Flanders. The first laces have a geometric decor. Linear or plant decors were used in the first half of the 17th century. Fine and light laces with a flower motif rise in the 18th century. In the end of the 18th century, the motifs are very small and the most of the laces fill mesh ground. In the epoch of the renaissance and the baroque, good conditions for complex figurative scenes were allowed. A grateful space for (riche -great) religion scenes was given. The lay scenes, almost genre, symbolic and hunting scenes can be seen on the lace, too. All the 16th century and in the first half of the 17th century appeared a lot of Pattern Books first for needle laces and then for bobbin laces in Germany and Italy. It is a proof (evidence) of a great vogue of the lace.

Fashion and art
Vlášková, Veronika ; Ševčík, Miloš (advisor) ; Jarošová, Helena (referee)
The final thesis examines the relationship between art and fashion from the perspective of aesthetics. It deals with the problem systematically. The first chapter examines the principle of fashion on the strength of the classics of sociology, G. Simmel, R. König, T. Veblen and G. Lipovetsky. It concludes that the principle of fashion is sociological, i.e. it is a two-fold movement of social differentiation and integration. This meaning (fashion as principle) is contrasted with clothing fashion, i.e. fashion in the sense of the sum of fashion clothing. The aesthetic element in fashion occurs subsidiarily. The second chapter links these conclusions and bases them on the functionally structuralistic principles of J. Mukařovský. This connection defines fashion clothing as clothing with a dominant fashion function, enabling social differentiation. As it is clothing, it must be possible to wear it. Therefore fashion clothing cannot be included in the domain of art, where the aesthetic function dominates, or let us say only under the condition of losing the dominance of fashion function. The third chapter explores possible causes of its loss. The fourth chapter summarizes Genettes conception of mode of transcendence of a work of art, which is then applied to the discussed topic. This enables the explanation of...

Radical Experience and Thinking of Poetic Inspiration. The Body (without Organs) in Maurice Blanchot's Space of Literature.
Poch, Martin ; Ševčík, Miloš (advisor) ; Jarošová, Helena (referee)
Radical Thinking and Experience of Poetic Inspiration → Abstract Blanchot's radical thinking of writer's experience poses, but do not answer a question of its physical dimension. According to Blanchot, it seems as if the writer's experience was completely unbodied, so that it excludes the possibility of writing and realization of essential speech in the world. Our interpretation of Blanchot's key concepts proceeds with an attempt to solve this problem and present its main consequences. In the last section we operate some of the terms of Deleuze and Guattari - namely becoming, the body without organs - in order to conceive writer's experience as inherently differentiated process in which the body is absent, because - deprived of its organs - it becomes an imperceptible part of assemblage which enters the space of literature.

Application of the coaching method in the field of employee development considering the factor of quality
Langrová, Veronika ; Mužík, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Jarošová, Helena (referee) ; Tureckiová, Michaela (referee)
The period we live in is characterized by change. Not only does this change affect the world around us, but also our very selves. It also has impact on functioning and general run of organizations including the field of employee education and development. It is necessary for organizations to be viable and able to withstand growing competition in the market environment to adequately react to these changes. At the beginning, but also in the course of writing of the presented doctoral thesis, I asked myself a question, how the organizations are able to cope with the mentioned problems, what innovations does this process bring to the field of human resources and more importantly education and development management, what needs and new situations does it bring about and how are the organizations able to react to all the described challenges. My goal is to introduce coaching as one of the ways of development and to offer self-contained view on this method and its implementation in the framework of education and development in organizations. This allows me to link together theoretical concern with my own practical experience in this field and at the same time to introduce concrete examples of coaching adjustment in organizations in the Czech Republic, to explore quality and the rate of success of coaching use and...

Baudelaire's "aesthetic curiosities"
Polcerová, Barbora ; Jarošová, Helena (advisor) ; Dadejík, Ondřej (referee)
This bachelor thesis is focused on aesthetic thinking of Charles Baudelaire. I will mostly focus on Baudelaire's theoretic works between critical thoughts about art and reflection on a changing society. As the key source I will use Baudelaire's 'salons' about art and the essay The Painter of Modern Life from 1863 where he defines the term modernity. In the final part of the thesis I will concentrate on Baudelaire's thinking in the view of aesthetic theory of the 20th century. My primary source will be the works of Walter Benjamin who wrote a collection of essays about Baudelaire and considered him the first modern author. He uses Baudelaire's thoughts for making observations about urbanism and modernity. These observations go beyond art theory and we can understand them as reflection of historical and social changes in Paris of the 19th century which is relevant also to theories of the 20th century.

Dandy as a work of art?
Csicsely, Lukáš ; Zuska, Vlastimil (advisor) ; Jarošová, Helena (referee)
(in English): My goal in this diploma thesis is to verify the claim that "dandy is a work of art". The figure of Dandy is often defined by the claim that it truly is a work of art. Dandy is after all defined like that by the founders of the debate on dandysm (Barbey d`Aurevilly, Charles Baudelaire and Oscar Wilde) and also by contemporary theoreticians of dandysm (such as Francois Coblence, Daniel S. Schiffer and Karin Becker). However, despite the numerous occurrences of the definition, the claim was never extended into general theory of dandy as work of art. I am here trying to do that. First, I am looking for a definition that best suits the concept of dandy according to the founders. I confront the concept of dandysm with several definitions of art (mimetic, expressive, formalistic, institutional or functionalist). With the definition that the comparison shows as the most appropriate - the functionalist theory of art - I continue to operate. With a structuralist definition of Jan Mukařovský. From the structuralistic point of view I answer the basic questions connected within the discourse of aesthetics with the concept of the work of art. I am looking for a basic material (material norm) that would create the identity of dandy as a specific kind of artwork. Based on that, I distinguish artistic...
