Reflection of Photography Medium
Pleslová, Anna ; GRYGAR, Štěpán (advisor) ; PORTEL, Robert (referee)
This Bachelor thesis is aimed at reflection of photography's medium from its beginning to the present day. It is wave which is very popular and many authors are concerned with this but there wasn't anything written about yet. I mean in some summarize form and this is what I exactly wanted in my text. Introduction I devote to technical and philosophical questions which authors process the most often. I outline the beginnings of Analytical Photography and Visualism. In maim part of text I pick the most significant photographers who work with reflection of their medium and I research their production in more detail. Some essays about Czech representatives are supplemented by interviews which enable deeper insight to their way of thinking. In the end I generally summarize meaning of this wave. I reach the opinion that evolution of photography to this stage had its reasons and it was was inevitable. At the same time I can see some turning artists into themselfs and some kind of fulfilment of photography in its development.

Fotografie a poezie
Lin, Chiawen ; SILVERIO, Robert (advisor) ; ŠIMLOVÁ, Štěpánka (referee)
Jak se mohou navzájem ovlivnit dvě naprosto odlišná média, jako jsou fotografie a psaní? Tato práce si klade za cíl odpovědět na tuto otázku. Hlavní myšlenkou této práce je určit vztah mezi poezií a fotografií. Pár vybraných fotografií poslouží jako příklady a budou podrobeny rozboru. Práce je rozdělena do pěti kapitol, přičemž první část tvoří Úvod, druhá kapitola podává základní shrnutí obou médií. Třetí kapitola se zabývá rozborem prací japonského fotografa Masaa Yamamota. Čtvrtá kapitola rozebírá několik vybraných příkladů fotografií, které jsou nahlíženy metaforicky. Poslední, pátá kapitola přináší výsledek zkoumání této práce a shrnutí, jak se navzájem ovlivňují poezie a fotografie v dějinách a v tvorbě.

Performance and the medium photography. 60´s and 80´s in Czechoslovakia
Mertová, Alexandra ; Vančát, Pavel (advisor) ; PREKOP, Rudolf (referee)
This thesis is a theoretical study on performance in relation to the medium of photography from the 1960s to 80s in Czechoslovakia. The first part is devoted to the medium of photography, photographic recorded performance and to the clarification of the concept of performance. Furthermore it marginally outlines the historical context of the Performing Arts and the concepts of happening, event and performance, and gives some examples of the world, but mostly Czechoslovak artists - performers. The core of the work is the creation of a typology in so far as it is related to both performance and phography, namely it's distribution into documentary photography, staged photographic performance and photo performance which is used in the multimedia work. Furthermore I present concepts of copyright photographs and photographs both authorized and unauthorized. This typology of approaches to the medium of photography I developed on the basis of personal interviews, in terms of this work considered crucial.

Beskydy Mountains in the photography of the regional artists till the year 1948
Klepáčová, Veronika ; BÁRTA, Jaroslav (advisor) ; STECKER, Martin (referee)
The Bachelor thesis focuses on the selected artists who had been taking photographs of the landscape and the life in the Beskydy Mountains in the past, more accurately till the year 1948. The core of the thesis is collecting and searching information and finally its processing. Then, life values and photography works of the local photographs are compared. What is worth thinking about is for instance also the way in which the Beskydy Mountain?s landscape has been changing in the course of the time and with this also the relation of the man to the landscape. The work is accompanied by the photography illustration chosen from the work of the authors. As the landscape has been still changing, the thesis stresses the documentary value of the photography too. And thank to this, we can also nowadays have a look at how the landscape looked like many years ago.

New documents
Douša, Jan ; KOLÁŘ, Viktor (advisor) ; BÁRTA, Jaroslav (referee)
The goal of this thesis is to demonstrate on specific examples the most current documentary approaches in photography since 2000. The selection focuses on authors whose initial stimulus for their work comes from the fascination with the complexity and visuality of the outside world and from the urge to reflect on this fascination through the medium of photography. Purely conceptual and other approaches that use documentary photography merely as a platform for criticism and analysis of the medium of photography (with its relation to aesthetization or objectivity) are not included in this thesis. The selection of authors, due to the limited nature of the thesis, is not exhaustive. The thesis does not aim to serve as an overview, rather it presents a personal selection of representative authors balancing a wide scope of documentary approaches in their work. The latter include reinvented formal approaches derived from the tradition of the New Documents exhibition which I consider to be an important milestone in the post-war history of documentary photography, but also entirely fresh approaches, or new symbioses thereof. Historical context and critical discourse originating in the 1970s, which questions the documentary functions of photography in combination with aesthetization, create a background for the analysis of contemporary authors.

The Night in the Czech Fine Arts from the 19th to the 21st century
Zmudová, Žaneta ; MĚŘIČKA, Jan (advisor) ; GRYGAR, Štěpán (referee)
In my thesis I focused on the topic of the night in the Czech fine arts from the 19th to the 21st century. The aim of my work is not conduct a survey of the issues as a whole, it does not make efforts to be a historical outline, but the goal is to present a different conception of the night in the works of some selected artists. This text is concentrating on the works of artists who design the night in the landscape and urban sceneries. In every night scene we can see the light, either natural or artificial, which is the bearer of artist´s imaginings.
The work goes from the introduction of the light and darkness symbolism throughout the era of the human history and physical essence of the light to the presentations of individual artists who reflect the night with natural kinds of light or the artificial ones.

Poválečná japonská fotografie
Tryputen, Stanislav ; SILVERIO, Robert (advisor) ; GRYGAR, Štěpán (referee)
Japonská fotografie po druhé světové válce prošla radikální proměnou od fotorealistického přístupu, zaměřeného na zkoumání národní identity země, k více subjektivnímu přístupu nové generace fotografů zasažených hrůzami války. Tito autoři vyvinuli nový vizuální jazyk a témata jejich tvorby měla velmi osobní povahu. Cílem této práce je analyzovat hlavní vlivy tohoto vývoje v historickém a sociálním kontextu poválečného Japonska.
