Bioart - Concept and Development
Brixová, Anna ; Kera, Denisa (advisor) ; Šlerka, Josef (referee)
The aim of this diploma thesis is Bioart, new media art discipline, which is represented by a narrow group of authors. Bioart is often referred to by variety of names and the term itself is not uniformly defined. The work offers a comprehensive definition of the term as an art area that creates space for social reflection of scientific knowledge through its reflection of modern science. The thesis also describes respective artistic, philosophical and historical context of the term. At the same time, the thesis examines aspects of contemporary bioart from the perspective of the artists working in this field of art by interviewing them. The thesis is divided into three main chapters. The first chapter deals with Bioart as a term on theoretical level and introduces the interviewed artists. The second chapter summarizes the historical background of Bioart. The third chapter introduces the overlap of Bioart on ethics, safety and engagement of artists and the public in science.

Pragmatism and neopragmatism as possible epistemological approaches in library and information science
Ticháčková, Hana ; Kera, Denisa (advisor) ; Svobodová, Hana (referee)
Tématem práce je charakteristika filosofických přístupů - pragmatismu a neopragmatismu a možnosti jejich aplikace ve výzkumech knihovnictví a informační vědy. Základní myšlenky pragmatismu jsou ilustrovány na koncepcích jeho hlavních představitelů - Charlese S. Peirce, Williama Jamese a Johna Deweyho. Neopragmatismus je charakterizován na hlavních přínosech soudobého amerického filosofa Richarda Rortyho. Cílem práce je představit tyto přístupy jako vhodné koncepce pro knihovnictví a informační vědu, protože na rozdíl od převládajících pozitivistických tendenci nabízejí komplexnější pohled na problematiku oboru a přinášejí nové směry pro další výzkum.

New media theory as ontology of the computer code
Kera, Denisa ; Vlasák, Rudolf (advisor) ; Smetáček, Vladimír (referee) ; Petříček, Miroslav (referee)
The work establishes new media studies in relation to different disciplines that were reflecting contemporary technologies in the 20th century. It emphasizes the likeness o f new media theory to posthumanist philosophy. New media technologies are specific due to the performativity o f the computer code and the overall phenomenon o f software that interconnect different aspects o f the organic and inorganic life. The hybrid and emergent consequences o f this integration o f machines, humans and nature radically challenges our views o f what is technology, society and even what is ontology. Ontology o f the code is an attempt to highlight the dynamic and process driven qualities o f the reality as the ground o f todays technological acceleration. With the help o f the computer codes it generates ever more complex forms o f symbiosis and hybrid collectivity like our cities and the whole globalized society. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)
