Representations of women in the corinthian vase painting
Rašínová, Kateřina ; Verčík, Marek (advisor) ; Kroutilová Jamrichová, Zuzana (referee)
The aim of this thesis is analysis of representations of women on the Corinthian vase painting of the archaic period. While similar representations have been researched several times, the interest of researchers has been more focused on selected themes, such as the Trojan cycle, the so-called Frauenfest or komos vases also known as padded dancers in the case of the Corinthian black-figure vases. This work will be focused on iconographic description of women. I will characterize the development of individual motifs or scenes and compositions throughout the whole archaic period - also on proto-corinthian vases if necesarry - with regard to the shape, function and context of use of the vessels with these representations. I am going to try to identify their semantic meaning in reliation to the social and cultural context of Corinth in the 7th and 6th century BCE. I will compare the defined coventions with the depictions of women on contemporary Attic black-figure vases in cunclusion.

Black and red figured pottery is a captivating, while also a vast and demanding subject of research. For decades, vases were primarily studied as valuable art objects and scenes depicted on them considered as testimonies of ideas and lives of their creators and users. Many researchers focussed on interpreting the scenes captured on these vessels. When studying works by our research predecessors, it can be noted that their methods and conclusions were often influenced by the socio-cultural context in which they lived and worked. The aim of this thesis is not to create new, surprising interpretations of selected scenes or to point at erroneous interpretations of other researchers. The aim of this work is to draw attention to how contemporary society has influenced researchers and the methods they use and conclusions they draw when interpreting scenes considered for long periods as immutable, final and undisputable. While re-evaluating adopted conclusions I drew on gender studies and gender analysis which require a multidisciplinary approach to research and interpretation of vase paintings. In four subject areas I pointed out to what extent the dichotomies within which we are used to think and with which we work, i.e. dichotomies of masculine - feminine, public - private, exterior - interior, but also...
