Karel Sabina as imitator and creative artist. Text kinship as a source of meaning and knowledge about Sabina's work and its relationship to the works of other authors, especially K.H.Mácha
Charypar, Michal ; Vojvodík, Josef (advisor) ; Hrbata, Zdeněk (referee) ; Haman, Aleš (referee)
The text has the character of a monograph about the literary work of Karel Sabina, which should function as a supplement and a counterpart of the hitherto published "Sabinian" text s focusing mainly on K. Sabina' s "moral profile". It i s a series of interpretations interconnected by a consistent methodical approach- the conception of intertextuality, based especially on Harold Bloom's and Mojmír Otruba' s theories. The main goal ofthe application ofthis method is noetic, i.e. to gain new information about Sabina' s work (in relation to the works of other authors) and with the help ofthe information to attempt to redefine Sabina' s position in the Czech literature and literary history. The text shows Karel Sabina from a new perspective as an extraordinarily talented writer deeply involved in most of the important events forming the total cultural progress ofhis time (late 1830s to early 1870s), and gives thus also a new image about the Czech romanticism.

The critique of the concept of aesthetic experience in the 2nd half of XX. century. Two controversies: the end of art and the rebirth of natural beauty
Dadejík, Ondřej ; Zuska, Vlastimil (advisor) ; Petříček, Miroslav (referee) ; Haman, Aleš (referee)
The present thesis explores the critique of aesthetic experience in aesthetics of the second half of the 20th century. The aim is to defend the consistency of the notion of aesthetic experience and highlight its potential for aesthetics in the 21st century. The thesis points out certain historical and conceptual inconsistencies in the critique, and advances some arguments in support of tenebality of traditionally the main distinctive feature of aesthetic experience: disinterestedness. We focus on two dominant discussions in modern aesthetics that both built on re-evaluation and crititique of the concept of aesthetic experience, namely the controversy about the aesthetic nature of art, and the so-called rebirth of theoretical interest in aesthetic dimension of nature (and other living environments). The thesis comprises ten chapters, each devoted to a particular facet of the concept of aesthetic experience. The chapters are arranged around the 'nuclear chapter' (IV) that articulates the methodological point of view, based on an open model of descriptive definition (drawn mainly from the work of Stephen C. Pepper).

"Art" and its definition. Between function and procedure
Ciporanov, Denis ; Kulka, Tomáš (advisor) ; Haman, Aleš (referee) ; Zuska, Vlastimil (referee)
The thesis explores the problem of definition of "art" as it has been systematically discussed since the second half of the 20th century - mainly in the Anglo-American analytical aesthetic tradition. Despite the complexity and diversity of this discussion, it is possible to indicate two opposite definitional approaches. The first is the so called proceduralism which is established on the conviction, that the art status is connected with certain performative procedures (social, theoretical or historical in character), and that its attribution to an artifact essentially affects its artistic/aesthetic function. The second is a functional strategy, traditional in character, which presupposes on the contrary, that ascription of art status comes always after the indication of functional efficiency of the artifact in question. In four parts of this thesis we want to argue for the superiority of functional view of the concept of art. To do that, we made one exceptional step out of the borders of analytical tradition in order to see how this traditional problem is solved in the theoretical context of Prague Structuralistic School, domain of European functional thinking. The comparison of Jan Mukařovský, the main representative of functional approach to art, with Nelson Goodman, one of the most prominent American...
