Arndt, Tereza ; Fišerová, Michaela (advisor) ; Michalovič, Peter (referee) ; Bílek, Petr (referee)
Semiotics of Comics. Communication of text-image media. Abstract This dissertation thesis focuses on the ways in which comics transfer messages and what tools they use in a communication situation. The hypothesis of the work consists in the assumption that the comics in the process of communication works with specific and at the same time medially shared means. These procedures are viewed from a philosophical and empirical (artistic-scientific) point of view. Following the analysis of the way of handling certain types of signs within the framework of visual-text works of art, the concept of compon, which means composed placement of a figure, will be introduced and described. The large part of the work is devoted to this term and, in a broader sense, it also represents evidence of that paradoxical specific and shared style of communication of audiovisual media. Attention will be paid to the description of the comics code and principles that participate at various levels in the constitution of comics works, their form and the character of the narrative. The theoretical basis is represented by the works of Roland Barthes, Umberto Eco, Jurije Lotman, W. J. T. Mitchell and Hilary Chute. Keywords: comics, code, imagetext, compon, Yuri Lotman, comunication

The Princ and the Gardener
Poljaková, Terézia ; Ryška, Pavel (referee) ; Lungová, Barbora (advisor)
The bachelor's thesis, which is a comic called The Prince and the Gardener, is inspired by the symbolism of transition and research into the queer ecology. Queer Ecology can be understood as a link between queer theory and critical environmentalism. Queer ecology aims to combat any divisions, such as the imaginary boundaries between our body and outside environment, humans and non-human animals, masculine and feminine or life and not life. In this text, my aim is to find and expand the connections of queer theories with the natural sciences as well as with my own work.
Lock
Čech, David ; Motal, Tomáš (referee) ; Vaněk, Vojtěch (advisor)
The bachelor's thesis combines an artist's comic book and a gamebook. Following the example of classic gamebooks, the narrative is divided into numbered segments between which the player chooses. Thematically, the work focuses on architecture, especially on the interiors and their interconnection with the selected objects. In this case, the individual segments correspond to the specific physical spaces of the illustrated building. The work contains a minimum of text and the main part of the information is communicated through the image. The output of the bachelor's thesis is a paper version of the artist's interactive content. The main part of the content is a series of consecutive illustrations. Using the numeric navigation, the player can move between pages and thus compose a picture of the situation that the story part of the work presents. The aim of the work is the creation of an artist's interactive comic book, that is not based on the text, but lets the player interact directly with the visual environment.
Soloomons Daughters
Brůčková, Kamila ; Prokůpek, Tomáš (referee) ; Rathouský, Luděk (advisor)
The Solomon's daughters comic brings a new concept to the topic of witch-hunting. It is situated in the period before and during World War II, consciously working with associations with the time that is only mediated by literature and film to most people these days. Although some topics concerning humanity and cruelty are still emerging, we perceive this period with a certain distance and a comprehensive evaluation. And precisely because of how clear and familiar the facts are, we can now afford to work with the environment and that time mostly as a backdrop that offers us certain opportunities for story development and aesthetic integrity.
