John of Nepomuk in the allegorical language of Baroque festivities
SCHWARZ, Jan
The master thesis deals with the fabrication of Saint John of Nepomuk in the space of Baroque festivals organized to honour the saint, especially in the 1720s and 1730s. In particular, the author focuses on the sermon as a medium, that was fundamentally involved not only in the construction of the image of the martyr of the seal of confession, but also in the whole festivity. Therefore, he will focus on the various communicative strategies and practices preachers used during the festivities to influence the imagination of their audiences. In connection with the fabrication of the image of the Saint John of Nepomuk from the heights of the pulpit, current cultural and historical themes such as the phenomena of the body, emotions, senses, gestures, as well as human speech and language will also be in the scope of the thesis.
