Slováková, Andrea ; Svatoňová, Kateřina (advisor) ; Bláhová, Jindřiška (referee) ; Bilík, Petr (referee)
Disertační práce Filmové festivaly ve vztahu k okrajovým částem kinematografie 2016 PhDr. Andrea Slováková Abstrakt Disertační práce Filmové festivaly ve vztahu k okrajovým částem kinematografie se soustředí na prezentaci především experimentálních filmů na filmových festivalech. Práce analyzuje především specializované přehlídky experimentálního filmu, uvádí historický exkurz do prezentace filmové avantgardy ve vztahu k fenoménu filmových festivalů. Metodologicky však vychází z přístupu interdisciplinárně propůjčeného z politických věd, diskurzivního nového institucionalismu, který adaptuje do pole festivalových studií. Zkoumá, jak se diskurzivní moc uvnitř festivalové organizace utváří a posiluje, a také k čemu slouží. Zavádí koncepty zastřené a průzračné diskurzivní vrstvy, mezi nimiž je argumentační vrstva, která mnohdy obsahuje i argumentační fikce. Část diskurzivního působení, resp. moci festivalové organizace slouží k jejímu ovlivňování kulturního pole, značná část však slouží zachování samotné organizace. Zkoumá, které části organizace jsou klíčovými uzly ve smyslu produkce diskurzivní moci. Na diskurzivní moc festivalů prezentujících experimentální film se dívá z hlediska procesů a struktury uvnitř organizace.

Antiutopia in Japanese Anime: An Analysis of the Ideological Structures in the Fictional World of the Movie The Sky Crawlers
Brinda, Antonín ; Svatoňová, Kateřina (advisor) ; Španihelová, Magda (referee)
Antiutopie v japonském anime: Analýza ideologických struktur ve fikčním světě filmu Nebeští jezdci Antiutopia in Japanese Anime: An Analysis of the Ideological Structures in the Fictional World of the Movie The Sky Crawlers Univerzita Karlova v Praze, Filozofická fakulta, Katedra filmových studií Bakalářská práce Řešitel: Bc. Antonín Brinda Vedoucí práce: PhDr. Kateřina Svatoňová, PhD. Abstract (in English) The aim of this bachelor thesis is to analyse Japanese antiutopic animated movie The Sky Crawlers directed by Mamoru Oshii. The work tries to research the ideological structuring of this film's fictional world. The ideological background of the movie is analysed using Louis Pierre Althusser's ideology criticism together with Lubomír Doležel's fictional worlds theory. We combine these (structuralistic) tools to examine the impact of ideology in the movie as a whole. Design of this picture is examined in relation to its antiutopic genre. That is why we put emphasis on the picture's wider (anti)utopic/dystopic context. For a better understanding of the genre we define two antiutopic conditions which serve to make its definition clear. The neoformalistic theory as formulated by Kristin Thompson and David Bordwell is used as a complement to the approaches mentioned above. The theory is used to analyse the...

Patterns of Czech Film-dramturgical Poetics
Csicsely, Lukáš ; Svatoňová, Kateřina (advisor) ; Klimeš, Ivan (referee)
This bachelor thesis focuses on Czech academic film dramaturgy. Dramaturgy in this sense refers to the activity of the dramaturge in the creation of a film work of art. His performance is theoretically grounded upon a long tradition beginning with Aristotle's Poetics, generally called poetics, and this thesis consists of a comparison of such film poetics published at FAMU, within the department of scriptwriting and dramaturgy, examined through the perspective of Prague structuralism, and with the mentioned traditions on background. No other theoretical work has dealt with this material so far, so my aim is to map the basic problems of this closed field, with an emphasis on how the tradition is adapted to the specific requirements of film.

Communication with images
Vondráček, Daniel ; Svatoňová, Kateřina (advisor) ; Španihelová, Magda (referee)
This thesis follows the methods of transforming recycled images in compilation films. Communication through images is the ability to reconstruct a "foreign" image that we come into contact with, it is a process of "recontextuaalization" of the image, regardless of what the image "represents". Connecting images from different sources results in a fragmented form, where the person and more importantly the spaces in the image are constantly changing (diegesis, mise en scène) The aim of this thesis is to describe the processes that enable this image "exchange" and to discuss the types of relations that help us transform the images.

The Calamity: Neoformalist Analysis and Narratological Analysis
Podskalský, Matěj ; Svatoňová, Kateřina (advisor) ; Klimeš, Ivan (referee)
In my thesis I analyze narrative structure and style of THE CALAMITY (KALAMITA, Věra Chytilová, 1981). The aim of my analysis is to discover what kind of techniques Chytilova uses to violate norms of classical narration and style, how she uses film form to reflect upon lapses in morale and tries to disrupt social tendencies of the Normalization Period. I use neoformalist theory (David Bordwell and Kristin Thompson) and narratology (David Bordwell). I briefly discuss economical, cultural and historical context related to the Normalization period and I also study production history and censorship of THE CALAMITY. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

It's a boy! (Not only) the gender issue of the ways childbirth is shown in film
Černá, Natálie ; Svatoňová, Kateřina (advisor) ; Přádná, Stanislava (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with the depiction of birthing woman in film through the perspective of gender and feminist theories. The first part makes the reader familiar with the history of obstetrics in relation to the issues of gender. It sketches a parallel between the social roots of obstetrics and impulses for the first feminist movement. In the second part the thesis looks closer into the constructive and performative nature of gender and gender roles and most importantly it deals with benefits and pitfalls of motherhood according to feminist theoreticians. For this purpose, it introduces selected concepts of Shulamith Firestone, Adrienne Rich and Julia Kristeva. The third part analyses potential reasons, why the portrayal of childbirth has been historically pushed aside and why, as a consequence, there is no female childbirth narrative, which would equip women with means to express their experience. The fourth part seeks this missing narrative in particular examples among nonfiction as well as fiction works from contemporary cinema as well as from from its history.

Artistic film style of Alexandr Petrov in animated short films
Něudačina, Natalija ; Svatoňová, Kateřina (advisor) ; Přádná, Stanislava (referee)
The aim of the bachelor thesis Artistic film style of Alexandr Petrov in animated short films is to apply different tools of neoformalist analysis to five short animated films (specifically to films The Cow, The Dream of a ridiculous man, Mermaid, The Old man and the Sea and My Love), which were created by a russian director Alexandr Petrov, who uses one of the most difficult animation techniques - paint on glass. After summarizing basic concepts of the theoretical framework I am going to put Petrov's filmography into appropriate historical and sociocultural context. The analysis will be based on neoformalist terms, defined by David Bordwell and Kristin Thompson. Adaptation of analytical methods to the film material itself will allow us to describe, what kind of narrative and stylistic devices distinguish Petrovs' films. Another objective of this analysis is to prove that the main dominant, which influences the usage of all structural devices, is constant balancing between subjective and real world of the main character in the diegesis.

Don't Leave Me: Narratological Film Analysis
Horyna, Martin ; Svatoňová, Kateřina (advisor) ; Čeněk, David (referee)
The aim of Don't Leave Me: Narratological Film Analysis thesis is to determine through analysis of the aforementioned film the techniques of documentary filmmakers being used to lead the viewer to discover a coherent plot structure in the content, and to ascertain whether DON'T LEAVE ME systematically uses some methods of the classical film. Texts of Bill Nichols were used to describe the rhetorical strategies of documentary films. The selected theoretical basis of the narrative analysis itself is neoformalism (David Bordwell, Kristin Thompson, Barry Salt) and cognitive narratology (Edward Branigan), which served to define documentary films with a high degree of narration. The study of motivations and development, time and space in the film was employed in order to describe narrative strategies chosen by the filmmakers. The analysis has proved that DON'T LEAVE ME structures the protagonists' action and speech as a story. Furthermore, it was shown that the analysed film can be classified as a documentary film with a high degree of narration and that it systematically utilizes numerous methods of the classical film. The contribution of this thesis is to demonstrate a specific manner of analysing the narration of (highly) narrative documentary films through narratological means; it is thus possible to...

Neoformalist analysis of the move I love you, I love you
Sedláčková, Dagmar ; Čeněk, David (advisor) ; Svatoňová, Kateřina (referee)
(in English): The subject of this bachelor thesis is the neoformalist analysis of the film "I love you, I love you" by the French director Alain Resnais. The main aim is to show through neoformalist analysis how the film works with the concept of memory, recollections, and non-chronological narrative. The key element of this approach is the recognition of the dominant element of the film, which in the case of "I love you, I love you" is Bergson's concept of time and memory. The thesis consists of two parts; the first section is focused on cultural and economical context, the major part is a neformalist analysis. !
