The Final Thesis - The Art Project (D)
Maša, Vojtěch ; Koťátko, Petr (referee) ; Sterec, Pavel (advisor)
In my diploma thesis, which is called "University Qualification Thesis: MASTER'S DEGREE DIPLOMA THESIS - STUDIO PART (D), I try to fulfill the protocol, which is specified in the following points: - Get grade "D" from my diploma thesis - studio part, - If I don't get grade "D" from my diploma thesis - studio part, I did not fulfill the assignment and the goal. Therefore, the project should not be considered as successful and should be graded "F". The thesis doesn't have a visual form. The project itself is just the "concept" described in the two points mentioned above in the text including all the consequences and its progression. My creative contribution is only to induce the situation. This text is just a text part of the documentation used for easier understanding and for contextualizing. Thus, this text is a lexical (and graphical in case of the diagram shown in the full text) comment on the project and it should not be subject to evaluation. Additional form of documentation of the project will be an audio recording of defense of this project taken by a record company. My speech during the defense is also not meant to be a performace as an art discipline and therefore should not be assessed.

Fantomas and The Seventh Seal - Analysis of Speech Acts
Brtáň, Martin ; Palek, Bohumil (advisor) ; Koťátko, Petr (referee)
Diploma work "Fantomas and The Seventh Seal - Analysis of Speech Acts" is a comparative analysis of dynamic sequences of speech acts performed in the movies Fantomas and The Seventh Seal. The speech acts are classified according to T. Ballmer and W. Brennenstuhl speech act classification. The structures, on which the sequences go on, revealed in the analytical process are compared. The work is divided into two parts: The first part brings about theory: Here a speech act is explained, as well as the principles on which Ballmer and Brennenstuhl have built their speech act classification. Further on, focus is aimed at relation between stimulus and response as a part of verbal behaviour and the modus and methods used in the process of analysis. The second part is empiric: The empiric findings of the structures of verbal behaviour in the movies Fantomas and The Seventh Seal are displayed in the form of Markov chains. The analysis results are presented in a description and comparison of Markov chains and as the findings of significant differences in the structures of dynamic sequences of speech acts between Fantomas and The Seventh Seal.

Radical interpretation, truth, objectivity
Vašíček, Jan ; Koťátko, Petr (advisor) ; Marvan, Tomáš (referee)
Nobody can be wrong in majority of his beliefs about the world. What reasons has Donald Davidson for this claim? This paper is concerned with the connection between three important topics in Davidson's thought - radical interpretation, truth and objectivity. The experiment of radical interpretation is supposed to show the basic conditions of communication. On the basis thus provided, it will be possible to show, after a short summary of flaws in other theories, why we can talk about objective and non-epistemic truth. The relation between truth and knowledge can be specified by the same token. By means of inquiring into the way of how contents of our beliefs emerge, thoughts about the objective world will be shown to fundamentally depend on the social basis of intercommunicating people. This will also contain Davidson's argument against global scepticism. Using firstly the not entirely satisfying "omniscient interpreter" example and then the concept of triangulation, it will be specified what sense has objectivity for Davidson and to which extent is it justified to label him as realist.

Rule-following
Jelačič, Josef ; Koťátko, Petr (advisor) ; Marvan, Tomáš (referee)
Following any rule is not possible without some external instance of a jury that can evaluate if anyone (other than himself) acts according to a rule or against it. This work compares different perspectives on the issue of "rule following" and bounding a meaning. It progressively elaborates toward the theories explicitly built on social interaction and psychological terms, where the world is much more analysed by linguistic feeling of an individual, rather than towards a single objective theory of meaning that can clearly decide what is right and what is not. Accumulated findings are then used in the mind experiment that attempts to outline the idea of the world operating on the basis of relatively related processes taking place at different levels of perception, and to point out the possibility of creating complex structures based on the repetition of simple and obvious rules.

Media Campaign Analysis according to the Speech Acts Theory
Šestáková, Ilona ; Hvorecký, Juraj (advisor) ; Koťátko, Petr (referee)
This diploma thesis "Media campaign analysis according to the speech acts theory" presents an analysis of media campaign "Evropě to osladíme!" launched to support the Czech presidency of European Union lasting from January 1s t 2009 till June 30t h 2009 according to the speech acts theory. The analysis is based on J. L. Austin's, J. R. Searle's, P. H. Grice's a P. F. Strawson's theoretical works. The speech acts theory is considered to be relevant for analys ing media campaigns in general. Its models match the general st rategies of media campaigns and they are sufficient for all aspects of the analysed campaign description. There are three hypotheses defined in hereby presented thesis and all of them were affi rmed. It was proven in the fi rst hypothesis that the speech act "Evropě to osladíme!" is in accordance with Searle's theory of illocutionary speech acts. Therefore complex Searle's speech acts theory and potential communicat ion fai lures were presented. In the second hypothesis it was proven that some of the conversational implicatures were not respected in the analysed utterance. The Gricean theory of meaning and conversational impl icatures was described in order to support the conclusion of the hypothesis. In the thi rd hypothesis it was proven that the intended targets of the campaign were met....

What does it mean to care about the reader (on the author's honesty and two types of narration)
Koťátko, Petr
The author confronts two modes of narration, called 'immune' and 'radical', and two correalive narrative subjects: 'narrator in a good shape' and 'narrator in decay'. He argues that neither of these two narration types can be classified as basic or 'natural' – while the other one comes out as a deviation from the standard. Both of them are equally equipped for mimetic function and both can reflect the author's responsibility and respect to the reader, although they activate different components of the reeader's interpretative competence.
