Digitalization
Abram, Uroš ; Silverio, Robert (advisor) ; Šimlová, Štěpánka (referee)
Digitalization has touched every single thing in our environment. We have to think very hard to find something which is not connected to digital technology. Digital photography has been changing photo processes, products, the photo industry and social-connection skills. The development of this sort of photography has had strong effects on other technologies. In its new forms it has been saving lives and causing violence. For some people the fight between film, analogue photography and digital technologies is still very much alive. In digitally manipulated images it is hard to find traces of the original photographs. People are getting a voice. The Internet is supposed to be the most democratic medium. A new form of art is rising. History of digital photography, new ways of seeing, presentation of new forms, classical thesis which cannot be applied on digital media

Martin and Osa Johnson
Svatoš, Jan ; Silverio, Robert (advisor) ; Scheufler, Pavel (referee)
In my bachelor disertation, I want to outline a broad and complex overview of photography and its history in Africa in social-culture context - starting with first pioneers and travellers, continue to early nature documentarists up to origin of temporary commercial so called "photographic safari". The goal is not only to draw a complex historical line, but also to mention technical obstacles, to consider pro-and-con of todays photo-tourism and, last but not least, point out the most important turning-points which were affecting and still affects our world´s history in pictures a lot. For example, the early wildlife photographers during the 20´s and 30´s in 21st century come with the wildlife photographing as an alternative to the thosetimes popular hunting safari, which had brought plenty of species to the extinction . With the help of photography, things got starting to be moving right way.

Tourist Postcard in contemporary art
Držková, Kateřina ; Musilová, Helena (advisor) ; Silverio, Robert (referee)
This dissertation concerns itself with tourist postcards and their use in contemporary art projects. These art projects are classified into categories and introduced within individual chapters, each of which considers picture postcards from a different perspective. Postcards are analyzed as a product that accompanied tourism from its beginning and that influenced the perception of visited venues. Postcards are also analyzed as a means of personal and mass communication. In addition to viewing postcards as a medium of communication, their physical and aesthetic characteristics are taken into account. These characteristics influence the perception of the photographed images. Emotions that are evoked can refer either to the aesthetic features of the postcard or to its referential function. Circumstances under which a postcard can be classified as ?kitsch? are considered. Postcards collections are likened to photographic archives. A separate chapter is devoted to the use of postcards in artistic projects during the past century.
