Wooden churches from Subcarpathian Ruthenia in CzechoslovakiaChurch of St. Paraskeva in Blansko and the Church of St. Archangel Michael in Prague
Shyshova, Yuliana ; Ottová, Michaela (advisor) ; Royt, Jan (referee)
The aim of this bachelor thesis is to work on the issue of wooden churches from the 16th- 18th centuries from Subcarpathian Rus, which were moved to the territory of the Czechoslovak Republic in the interwar period. The thesis was narrowed down in view of the amount of archival material and the findings that emerged from it. The thesis discusses the Church of St. Paraskeva in Blansko and the Church of St. Archangel Michael in Prague. The thesis will provide comprehensive information about the churches, including their architectural history and furnishings, as well as their current condition. Additionally, an attempt at reconstructing the iconostasis in the Church of St. Paraskeva in Blansko will be made. The thesis will focus on the political and religious situation in Subcarpathian Rus and the cultural-historical context of the time, as a result of which these churches came into the possession of the Czechoslovak state. Thorough attention will be given not only to the currently used Church of St. Paraskeva in Blansko but also to the Church of St. Archangel Michael, which was affected by a fire on the premises of the cultural monument Letohrádek Kinských in Prague in 2020.

Dílo Johanna Sebastiana Bacha v sémiotické perspektivě
JAROLÍMOVÁ, Jana
This dissertation deals with the semiotic potential of J.S. Bach's work. The topic follows on from the diploma thesis Music as a sign and the author's pedagogical musical practice. The first part of the thesis is focused on the semiotic nature of the musical piece and its communication function with reference to the semiotic art theory of Josef Zverina. It is focused on the characteristics of the artistic sign, the sign functions, and above all to the subjects appearing in semiotic musical communication: the creator, the perceiver, and the performer. The aim of the first part is to characterize key semiotic musical concepts for the next parts of the thesis and also to evaluate the contribution of Zverina's concept to musical semiotics. The second part of the thesis is focused on the most used semiotic triad of icons - index - symbol in the concept of Ch. S. Peirce. As part of the iconicity of the musical sign, attention is paid to musical notation and its semiotic marking. In the music index, a large space is devoted to affect theory and the semiotic insight of musical emotions. The musical symbol is clarified in Bach's theological utterance and the analysis of symbolically rich places in his pieces. The aim of the second part is to link Peirce's sign triad with specific musical examples and to find out how these types of signs function in the musical discourse. The third part of the thesis is focused on the claim that Bach's musical artwork can be related to Leibniz's monadology. The goal is to clarify what analogies and differences result from this interdependence. The conclusion of the thesis contains an overlap into the current problems of artificial intelligence, which influences musical semiotics, as well as a summary of the contribution of this thesis.

Icontherapy from view of the clients
MRÁZOVÁ, Anna
The thesis will be dedicated to the topic of iconotherapy, which the author already addressed in her bachelor's thesis. In the theoretical chapters, she presents iconotherapy. At the same time, it will clarify the theological views on the essence of icons as well as psychological connections (problems of motivation and will) and psychotherapeutic directions that are somewhat related to iconotherapy (logotherapy, existential approach of I. Yalom, orthodox psychotherapy). The work will include qualitative research, which will be carried out through in-depth semi-structured interviews with people who have undergone iconotherapy. A consideration of the possible application of iconotherapy will also be included.

Semiotics of note-taking in consecutive interpreting
Hrušovská, Petra ; Nekvapil, Jiří (advisor) ; Sládková, Miroslava (referee)
The present thesis focuses on semiotic aspects of note-taking in consecutive interpreting, in particular with respect to the process of semiosis and factors influencing the interpreters' conception of their notes. Chapter 1 mentions the basic features of note-taking in order to trace its semiotic characteristics in the following parts of the thesis. In Chapter 2, the notes as a specific semiotic system are briefly discussed within the framework of the second Peircean trichotomy of signs (cases of iconicity, indexicality and symbolicity are demonstrated) and in terms of their function, productivity and spatial settings. After these general considerations, Chapter 3 introduces the main theoretical approaches to the technique of note-taking (principally those of the Geneva and Heidelberg schools) including the issues of the languages involved in interpreting or the nature of signs. As the accent is on the process of semiosis (apprehension of signs by interpreters, generating signs according to the meaning of the speech and searching for the motivation for the interpreters' concrete choices of signs and their form), the chapter lists some basic signs and methods well- tested by practitioners. The signs are also analysed in terms of their origin and possibilities of expansion (composition, derivation...

MMS aneb Sémiotický potenciál obrazové výpovědi
Janda, Filip ; Šoltys, Otakar (advisor) ; Karľa, Michal (referee)
In the first chapter we will have a look at the transformation and evolution of a photo-camera which on its way to become a medium ofcommunication came a long way from cumbersome glass-plate machinery to the current ubiquitous day-to-day personal digital companion. In the second chapter we will explore the effects of digitisation on the theoretical notion of photography and its position in the present context. Next we will touch on the movement of pragmatism (primarily those versions ofCharles Sanders Peirce and William James) that will allow us to regard our matter as a more holistic interactive problem than dissected pieces of a puzzle; and we will also recapitulate parts of Peirce's theory of signs that are relevant to our cause. The fourth chapter is about the ability of symbolic reasoning - a feature so unique in the world that it is only found in humans and whose principles are very close to the thought-sign system that Peirce devised. In the fifth and last chapter we will see how all that connects to the photographs themselves when they are used in the current digital intention-laden semiotic manner. I

Saint Francis' quest for the Crucified through the San Damiano Cross
Růžička, Jakub ; Sládek, Karel (advisor) ; Červenková, Denisa (referee)
Saint Francis' quest for the Crucified through the San Damiano Cross Abstract The encounter with the Crucified is the constitutive element of the spirituality of Saint Francis of Assisi. The objective of my thesis is finding the deeper understanding of Francis' perception of the cross. The topic should be elucidated by the San Damiano Cross Icon and other moments of the Saint of Assisi's life. The study of Francis' relation to the cross will be put into an appropriate context: the theology of the cross is mainly ingrained in the Jesus Christ's Mystery of Easter. This knowledge is deepened in life of the Early Church and, through the enriching epoch-making interposition even the "poor little" of Assisi may experience its fruits. In the fundamental part of the text I will organize the key materials for the study of Francis' relation to the crucified Christ contained in the franciscan sources with the help of the newest literature. Therefore the thesis will offer a complex view to one of the crucial moments of Francis' conversion. Keywords Saint Francis of Assisi, San Damiano, icon, cross, theology of the cross, The Crucified, history of the cross, speaking cross, franciscan sources, St. Paul, St. Bonaventure

Phenomenon tetage, humans body as socialcultural and art document
Švadlenová, Jana ; Šmíd, Jan (advisor) ; Machalický, Lukáš (referee)
ŠVADLENOVÁ, Jana. The phenomenon of tattoo, body as a socio-cultural and art document. Prague, 2013. Thesis. Charles University in Prague, Faculty of Education, Department of Fine Arts. Supervisor PhDr. Jan Šmíd, Ph.D., 126 pages. Thesis "The phenomenon of tattoo, body as a socio-cultural and art document" is about tattoo as not only a form of body decoration, but as a possible theme in arts teaching. The author tried to map the history of this ancient ornamentation, to justify rising interest in it in the present and last but not least, tried to find a way how to present it to elementary school students in a comprehensible way. The thesis includes examples of possible reasons and ways of tattoo, while trying to find a connection to rituals (traditional and modern). The important part is finding options how to include this topic in the arts teaching at elementary schools and how to approximate possible pros and cons of this ornamentation.
