Typology of Visual Texts of Czech Experimental Poetry
Hrdinová, Tereza ; Neumann, Lukáš (advisor) ; Smrčka, Jiří (referee)
The bachelor's thesis examines the visual texts of Czech experimental poetry of the 1960s. The main goal of the work is to create a typology of the possibilities of visualizing poetic texts. The intention of the typology is to clarify the material and related terminology. The first chapter of the thesis summarizes the development of the defamiliarization of the visual component of the poetic text in the context of the history of the relationship between image and word and briefly characterizes experimental poetry in the Czech environment in a global context. The second chapter summarizes already existing typologies of experimental texts and explains the criteria by which visual poems can be classified. We came to the conclusion that in order to make the material clearer, it is necessary to sort the texts according to more than just one already existing criterion. We classify the texts in terms of the method of creation and the author's intention. The second chapter also contains the typology itself - visual poems are classified into seven types: Statistical text, Structural text, Topological text, Narrative poem, Colour poem, Obfuscation of the Readable and Overlapping. The work tries to describe various techniques of creating visual poems. Therefore, it focuses mainly on the description of the way...

Between Theatre and Installation Art
Sceranková, Zuzana ; ADÁMEK, Jiří (advisor) ; JIŘIČKA, Lukáš (referee)
In this bachelor thesis, I am going to deal with the idea of an independent scenography in a theatre performance. I am going to reflect this subject trhough a second graduate performance in season 2016/2017 skončí to ústa in Disk theatre. In the introduction I am going to present experimental poetry as a main point of departure for ther performance. This is going to include basic principles of the visual, phonic, concrete and conceptual poetry as well as some of the particular methodologies of the chosen authors – Jiří Valoch, Ladislav Novák, Ladislav Nebeský and Zdeněk Barborka. I am going to describe the way we have integrated those principles into the performance. In the second part I am going to introduce the use an everyday object in the theatre. In skončí to ústa performance, we deal with the everyday object as something between theatre property and ready made object. I am going to analyse similarities and differences between use of the everyday object in theatre, museum and gallery. In the following part I am going to reflect, how we have included principles of the installation art into the performance. Those principles are focusing, decentralization and role of the spectator. Afterwards, I am going to describe Ervin Wurm´s artwork, who I consider as an artist who combines object, sculpture and installation art in his work. I am going to deal especially with his One Minute Sculptures, that represent a very important source of inspiration for the performance skončí to ústa. In the final part I am going to analyse principles of deconstruction, absence and words-objects in the artwork of Ján Mančuška, who is another inspirative point od departure for the performance. In the conclusion, I am going to summarize the parallels and the differences between the theatre and the visual arts as well as the conclusions that I can apply on my future work.

Concrete Poetry: the Case of Augusto de Campos
Korpaczewski, Pavla ; Grauová, Šárka (advisor) ; Dufková, Vlasta (referee)
The dissertation is divided into sevenparts. The opening part is about the phenomenon of the experimental poetry in general. The second one describes the historical background, the roots of the experimental poetry in Brazil. The third part is devoted to a poet group Noigandres - I write about its foundation and bring a brief synopsis of the editing of the magazin-book noigandres. Main body of my work is about the creative activity of a brazilian poet Augusto de Campos as is summoned in a compilation Hail to the shout (VIVA VAIA Poetry 1949-1979). I focus on his first book of a concrete poetry without a poet (poetamenos, 1953) which presents a new way of organizing the words on a page and the book Bestiarium (Bestiário, 1955) in which appears a transformation of a lyrical subject. From the original point, where the poet expresses himself through the fragments of text, to the point where the poet defines himself through his absence as a situation lyrical subject. He calls himself a designer, who designs/casts the structure of a poem, like in "Tension" (Tensão) analyzed in this dissertation. In 60's the poet gets more interested in a political and performs so-called step of participation (salto participante) - he exploits the form of a montage and a collage to create an immediate and direct impact on...

Jakš, Filip ; Pech, Milan (advisor) ; Baladrán, Zbyněk (referee)
This paper proposes to explore language as an expressing medium for contemporary czech artists. Many of them uses analogical creation ways as the experimental poets did in the sixties. First part of this paper focuses on terms of semilogy and post-structuralistic philosophy and their influence over expressions of artists from range of experimental poetry. It is going put the accent mainly on their art invetnions, that have impact untill today. From this experience, the endeavour of contemporary artists origins to determinate, or cross the borders of their own expressing abilities.

Vinšová, Michala ; Veselá, Gabriela (advisor) ; Žárská, Monika (referee)
The thesis deals with the history of Czech artistic translation in general and with the diachronic examination of Josef Hiršal's translation method in the area of translation poetry from German in particular. In the sixties Josef Hiršal alongside with his life and artistic partner Bohumila Grögerová was the main promoter and initiator of experimental poetry in Czechoslovakia. He devoted to experiment not only in his own work but also in translation. It was to his merit that Czech readers could familiarize themselves with the work of current foreign experimental poets, both in anthologies and in independent collections. Speaking of German language area he was consistent in translating Ernst Jandl, Hans Carl Artmann and Helmut Heißenbüttel. The practical part of this work is dedicated to the analysis of translation of selected poems of the mentioned trio using the hermeneutical approach. Hiršal translated from the whole range of other languages (using language cooperation), thanks to which he left a remarkable trace in the history of Czech translation from the second half of the twentieth century. Interestingly enough, his contribution to translation has not yet been subjected to critical analysis. The thesis aims to cover at least partially Hiršal's translation work, specifically in the area of...

The Poetics of Structures
Kšicová, Barbora ; Karkanová, Hana (referee) ; Kocman, Jiří Hynek (advisor)
The practical thesis is based on a visual experimental poetry and its sign system. I am working with own sign system which was inspired by organized fence's structures. These structures were depicted by typographical signs which creates a new graphical compositions. Whole work is organized into three separated author's books. Their interconnection is emphasized by putting into a common case. The first book entitled Poetry of structure – Inspiration establishes contact with readers by means of photographs of spaces and fence's structures. The second book entitled Poetry of structure – Manual is an interlink of the work which informs readers both with the fence's structures and with the typographical compositions. Confrontation of the fence's photographs with the typographical compositions developed an advancement of the reality transformation to the abstract structure. The third book entitled Poetry of structure is the integral poetic anthology. The book presents both the blind blocking of typographical compositions themselves and the final experimental poems based on them.

WORKING DIARY
Svobodová, Veronika ; ADÁMEK, Jiří (advisor) ; KRÁLOVÁ, Andrea (referee)
The text is conceptually divided into four segments. In the opening part I
reveal ideological basis, i.e. initial ideas, stimuli and main sources of
inspiration for my artwork. Next section exhibits free associations of thoughts
and follows my stream of consciousness as an author. In the interior
monologue I create network of essential and formative experiences and
encounters that has shaped my approach to creative work. Third part
presents theoretical background of the thesis and I deal with the nature of
perceptual experience and the dominance of visuality in the contemporary
technological and mass popular consumer culture. The chapter also briefly
outlines possibilities of displaying visible objects along with the historical
development of perspective in visual arts. The final part is dedicated to my
own practical outcomes, specifically installation BU (festival Arijuli 2015 in
Norway) and sensory theatre performance Močeradek gre čez cesto
(Lutkovno gledališče Ljubljana 2013) based on work of Slovenian poet Srečko
Kosovel. In these projects, I have dealt with the questions of how to create a
platform on which the viewer and artistic artefact could meet or how to ideally
accentuate space and time in order to encourage audience to stay actively
participating. Both projects are intentionally reflected together with the
description of immersive theatre. At first I describe fundamental principles of
the relatively new phenomenon, in particular the need of complete immersion
of the viewer into the artificial environment/fictional world that is arranged by
special medium aiming to influence his/her senses. The main goal of the
thesis was to uncover practical guidelines related to the issue of creative
methods in the field of immersive theatre. Hence my concluding statements
provide elementary instructions and "rules of game" for both audience and
author.
