Mourning and visual tropes in photojournalism
Jarolímková, Zuzana ; Průchová Hrůzová, Andrea (advisor) ; Silverio, Robert (referee)
About the repetition in art first has written in the 19th century the art historian Aby Warburg who described them as the formula of pathos. He pointed out that these gestures were connected by human emotion which repeats itself independently of the culture. His work inspired Marienne Hirsch who came up with the term memory figures which are used in the visual culture as a representation of a certain historic event. They are part of creating the "postmemory", especially in connection with the second world war. Nowadays, our space is more saturated with photos than with paintings. However, we still can see the influence of art from history and some photographers try to reproduce famous scenes. With inspiration from previous studies, Marta Zarzycka a Martijn Kleppe focused on this "trend" visual tropes which are used not only for better understatement of photos but also for stronger influence on readers. The thesis Mourning and visual tropes in photojournalism aim to show this trend in current media outlets on the tropes of mourning which are connected with the pandemic of coronavirus and war in Nagorno-Karabakh in 2020.
Content Analysis of the presentation of Black Lives Matter Movement in Czech media
Změlíková, Alžběta ; Aslan, Katarína (advisor) ; Průchová Hrůzová, Andrea (referee)
The Bachelor's thesis on the topic of Content Analysis of the presentation of Black Lives Matter movement in Czech media aims to construct an image of the Black Lives Matter movement based on two selected Czech media using qualitative content analysis. The chosen media are the on-line versions of the outlets Respekt and Echo, which were selected based on their political attitude and the fact that they are not solely news media, but authors add their own opinion and view. The studied sample consists of 38 articles published in the chosen media during 2020 and 2021 and is analysed based on grounded theory and a brief discourse analysis based on Allan Bell. The paper finds that the image of the movement differs between the two media outlets. Respekt's attitude toward the movement is consistent, the authors present it as a non- hierarchical protest movement and use neutral rhetoric for further description. Based on broader context (such as the overall tone of the articles or the choice of people that were interviewed on the topic), it is certain that Respekt supports the movement. In the case of Echo24.cz, an ambiguity in the overall attitude towards the movement can be seen which does not help create a clear image of BLM. Although, in most articles, the server speaks about the movement in rather...
Young artists and social networking sites.
Smutný, Viktor ; Kolomoiets, Maksym (advisor) ; Průchová Hrůzová, Andrea (referee)
The purpose of this thesis is to explain how artists from the generation of digital natives introduced by Dingli and Dylan use Social Networking Sites (SNS). Goal of this thesis is to identify what content do artists share and what they want to achieve with it. There will also be explained what content is not shared and if this is a form of self-censorship or something more in line with certain restrictions to convey desired image. The main theoretical background comes from the concept of self-presentation, which was explained by Goffman in offline space and reworked by Hogan, who introduced the theory of exhibition in online space. This thesis explains that main goal for artists is to create a certain exhibition of their artwork. Exhibition serves as a place, where artists can display their artwork in the best way possible for the audience, which can be used by artists. The use is mostly financial, it can be direct, or someone from the audience can afford them employment, or use their popularity as a motivation for their potential employers. Creation of this exhibition comes with a cost, content focused on anything, but art is either completely absent or employed in a way that is restricted. Certain type of restrictions is used even in art focused content, so the viewer has the best possible...

Průchová, Andrea ; Dvořák, Tomáš (advisor) ; Činátl, Kamil (referee) ; Reifová, Irena (referee)
Thesis Abstract The thesis deals with the visual content of the media of official memory, in particular the visual material of history textbooks and the exhibition of the National Museum. It examines the formal and content features of the representation of four key events of modern Czechoslovak and Czech history which entered the awareness of the general public as "eight" events: the founding of Czechoslovakia (1918), the signing of the Munich Agreement (1938), the communist coup (1948) and the invasion of the Warsaw Pact armies (1968). Moreover, it relates the modes of representation of these events to the issue of the political transition of 1989. By means of mixed methods research, it examines a sample of textbooks published during the communist era (1967, 1973, 1982, 1983, 1983), the post-communist era (1995, 1996, 1999, 1999, 2000, 2009, 2011) and the exhibits from the permanent exhibition Crossroads of Czech and Czechoslovak Statehood (opened in 2009). In its findings, the thesis presents 34 visual memory figures related to the representation of the selected historical events. It points out the circulation of these images between the medium of the textbook and the historical exposition, thus following the dynamic concept of memory discussed in the theoretical part of the thesis. It finds both...

In addition, it focuses on theoretical discussions regarding a proper definition of the word comic and on the relationship between linguistic and visual levels of comics because this relationship is essential in this form. Finally, the means of visual language in comics and the history of the Czech comics are discussed in the theoretical section as well.
