Revivals of Forms and Styles in Visual Art: Current Hyperrealism as Product of Postproduction or a Commentary on the Advent of New Media
Hrnčířová, Markéta ; Borecký, Felix (advisor) ; Šafaříková, Radana (referee)
The book Postproduction: Culture as Screenplay, written by French aesthetician Nicolas Bourriaud is going to be initial text for my diploma thesis. Bourriaud claims, that contemporary art is mostly made by the principle of assemblage; art works are made by reinterpretation, reproducing or by new exhibiting of artefacts or forms of past. The assumption of the original concept in artworks of contemporary artists - semionauts (travelers in the worlds of signs) has been allready completely ineffective. Through the example of hyperrealistic paintings, which has lately reappeared in portfolios of international and czech artists, I will try to show whether its revilal is based on the emergence of new medias, that even more than in the seventies simulate reality or whether they deal with the concept of postpostprodution - the artists lend only formal, in this case, hyperrealistic, signs. This diploma thesis will be completed by the case study of paintings of czech hyperrealist painter Jan Mikulka.

Human in Urban Space, Urban Space in Human
Černá, Hana ; Švantner, Martin (advisor) ; Borecký, Felix (referee)
This Thesis will be focused on relationship of human and space, formed by moment of their encounter. The main aim of work is to express relation between human and space in existential dimension of their mutual formation. This process is continuous and it is embodied in hermeneutical spiral. Result of this Work is the attempt to erase subject-object therminology in the context of relationship of human and space by applying principle of historical consciousness. Concept of lived space is manifested on example of Prague city walk, in which there are human and space mutually formed as a continuously changing complex, not the separate units. Key words human, hermeneutic circle, objectivism, move, principle of historical consciousness, walk, space, subjectivism, memory, relationship

The problem of authenticity of photograph: testimony evidence and historical consciousness
Černý, Vladimír ; Fišerová, Michaela (advisor) ; Borecký, Felix (referee)
The thesis points to the negative phenomenon of Holocaust denial, objective viewpoint of testimony, authenticity of photograph and background of historical consciousness in the context of postmodern situation. If we wanted to use objective testimony of photograph as a valid argument against Holocaust denial, we would have to declare the authenticity of photograph is invalid. The options of its manipulation, both content and meaning, are examined through semiotics of Peirce, mainly through trichotomy icon, index and symbol. In today's pluralistic time, the historical consciousness is proposed as a possible starting point of examination of historical sources, including photograph. Key words Photograph, authenticity, manipulation, Peirce, historical consciousness, Holocaust.

Imaginary in film: viewer's perception of the film
Remešová, Iveta ; Řehořová, Irena (advisor) ; Borecký, Felix (referee)
This thesis deals with the film in the psycho-semiotics' meaning. We focus on the viewer's perception of the film and we emphasize the concept of imaginary that is to be explained as mere image (imago) in comparison with the reality of actual gestures and movements and such image is not usually realized by the viewer. The aim of the thesis is to analyze the film from the perspective of the viewer's perception of the film and to apply acquired knowledge to the reception of Kill Bill Vol. 1 and 2 film. We want to find out whether and under what conditions the viewer becomes aware of the imaginary that is ubiquitous in the film. We're looking for viewer's semiotic and cognitive attitudes to the film art. We also try to describe the influence of elements, which have some effects on the viewer during watching a movie, such as emotions, movement, connotative meanings in the film or positive and negative characters etc.

The theory of echoeness. On Patočka's philosophy of art
Borecký, Felix ; Zuska, Vlastimil (referee) ; Ševčík, Miloš (advisor)
The study is focused on the aesthetic theory which Patočka outlines in his work Writer and his object and calls it "the theory of echoeness". It is an original insight into the essence of literature of modern time. In Writer, despite of being a concise sketch, the theory contains vast potency. Our interpretation unfolds this potency into broader context of Patočka's late thinking (asubjective ontology of natural world, the conception of three movements, conception of history and conception of language). The aim of this work is a critical analysis of the theory of echoeness considering its pros and cons. Daily routine such as working, being concerned for relatives and friends, paying accounts, satisfying vegetative needs, strong emotional experiences, indifference, misunderstanding and affinity, joy, death. This is only a poor enumeration of of life's preocupations of man. All these life's intentions which man puts into the world by giving it its sense, are mostly nonreflected. They feature in the world as echoes and are nutrient material for writer. It is writer himself who observes and collects these echoes and by means of language turns their directions. In ordinary life the intentions are non-reflected and focused on particular sense. But in literature they are focused on the whole sense. Reader can...

The Role of Imagination in Aesthetic Experience in Mikel Dufrenne's Thought
Borecký, Felix ; Ševčík, Miloš (advisor) ; Fulka, Josef (referee) ; Hrbata, Zdeněk (referee)
1 Summary: F. Borecký, The Role of Imagination in Aesthetic Experience in Mikel Dufrenne's Thought The aim of this dissertation thesis is to present Dufrenne's original conception of imagination and to highlight its significance for philosophical aesthetics. We focus on a critical interpretation of two alternative approaches which Dufrenne considers in his work. The first approach is based on a noetic perspective, the other on an ontological one. In both cases, Dufrenne claims that imagination is a productive, effecting activity which in a formative manner participates in knowledge of a priori truths regarding human being in the world. Such knowledge is most fully accomplished in the aesthetic experience. Only there a man opens oneself to the external world while maintaining with it a relation of primordial corporeity, which they both - i.e., both humans and the world - share. Imagination and its correlate, the imaginary, in an aesthetic experience stimulate each other and enable a reverberation of the most fundamental possibilities of human being in the world. It is imagination and the imaginary which enable a man to penetrate the superficial empirical level and reach the deep level of the a priori. On the level of the a priori, a man can experience the original corporeal unity which is of the same kind...
