Děkanovský, Jan ; Czumalo, Vladimír (advisor) ; Matějů, Martin (referee)
v teto pn3ci jsme se pokusili za pomoci kulturologickych instrumentu nahlednout fenomen sportu v soudobe zapadni spolecnosti. Nas zajem smeroval ale spise k zachyceni a charakteristice zrcadleni tohoto fenomenu v kultui'e nez k uchopeni fenomenu sameho. Vychazeli jsme z pi'edpokladu, i.e nejvetSi cast recipientU se se sportem setkava v podobe kulturniho textu, jenz vznika distribuci sportu masovymi medii. Tento kulturni text jsme posleze podrobili blizsi analyze a nastinili jsme nektere moznosti jeho interpretace. Musime konstatovat, ~e v ceskych podminkach - na rozdil od zapadnich zemi - jde pravdepodobne 0 zatim specificky a ojedinely pokus. I u nas Ize zajiste nalezt celou i'adu nejruznejsich publikaci 0 sportu, vcetne praci odbornych. Zpravidla se tyto prace ale zamei'uji na zakladni sociologicke zkoumani, muzeme nalezt nespocet del ze sportovni historie a bylo by mozne jmenovat i pokusy 0 aplikaci filosofie na fundament sportu, jimz je minena zejmena specificka telesna cinnost.

Architecture in the utopian/dystopian films of the thirties
Kryvenko, Anna ; CZUMALO, Vladimír (advisor) ; ŠERÝ, Ladislav (referee)
Architecture has always reflected the state of society, as it must adapt to human life. In a worse case, it may be the other way round - people are forced to change their life in order to adapt to the urban environment. Architecture works with the scale, touch and sight, time and space. In this way it is similar to the film as a mean of expression.
This study aims to compare ideas about the future with what was happening in society and art during the creation of various films through focusing on the visual element - architecture. The most obvious way are the visions of the future highlighted in utopian and dystopian films, because this field has always aimed at creating ideal world.
The presented work is focused on the total of a short period of the thirties, because it is the time of creating the utopian/dystopian films as a cinematic genre. It is also a period of great political, social and artistic changes that have affected the history of the twentieth century.

Resemblance and Representation
Kliment, Jáchym ; CZUMALO, Vladimír (advisor) ; ŠERÝ, Ladislav (referee)
The thesis focuses on observation of resemblance, exploration of the identical and the different. At first, it considers analogy and comparation in a complex approach focusing on philosophy, logic, mathematics and linguistics. At the same time, resemblance is perceived in close connection to representation and image, semiotics, iconology, iconography, photography and processes ? as well as related concepts, such as mimesis, reference, representation, transformation, simulation, virtuality and hyperreality. The final part is concerned with resemblance and its effect on typology, original and copy ? identity, perceiving of authenticity and the function of memory. The key concepts are: non-causality of resemblance, analogy of proportionality in contrast to analogy of proportion, visual thinking and functionality of memory, resemblance as the basic power of image, and transformation as the principal form of representation.

Statesman portrait after onset of photography
Bouška, Ondřej ; Czumalo, Vladimír (advisor) ; Silverio, Robert (referee)
Depicting a statesman as a high representative of a political state is one of the basic ways how to communicate power. This work shows several case studies of specific examples a usage of this phenomenon in the various state establish-ments based on theoretical analysis of the social role of statesman portrait. The text documents that the appearance of these portraits is given by strong tradi-tion of painting, which fundamentally changed after the onset of photography during the second half of 19th century. The central topic of this text is the phe-nomenon of photographic portrait of statesman which specific form is reflected primarily by the context of its origin and the demands that are placed on its vis-ual aspect as a symbol of the current political power.
