Kolářová, Petra ; Konečný, Lubomír (advisor) ; Coëllier, Sylvie (referee) ; de Marinis, Marco (referee)
Petra Kolářová Étienne Decroux (1898 1991) : "The Portrait of a Mime as a Sculptor" The Portrayal of a Body at the Intersection of Scenic and Fine Arts Summary : The thesis main subject is Etienne Decroux, the father of corporeal mime. The main objective is to show that Decroux draws on both theatre and sculpture, thus conceiving his art of mime as the mobile statuary. On the one hand, he takes up the concept of mask put forward by Jacques Copeau and Edward Gordon Craig's uber marionnette, transposing both concepts directly to the body. On the other hand, he embodies the pathos formulas observed in the statues. Decroux was heavily inspired by Augustus Rodin's sculptures in order to represent the body on stage. Moreover, Decroux conceives the body as a series of images which unfold before the audience. Working along with Etienne Bertrand Weill who photographs his shows, he creates a relevant source of iconography of the ...

Body shaming in sports in the Czech Republic
Šafářová, Adéla ; Numerato, Dino (advisor) ; Hasmanová Marhánková, Jaroslava (referee)
This thesis deals with the issue of body shaming in the top sports environment in the Czech Republic and its impact on sportsmen and sportswomen. The aim of this thesis is to find out through qualitative research the personal experiences of sportsmen and sportswomen with negative comments about their physical appearance and whether these experiences differ depending on their gender identity. The theoretical part of the thesis defines the basic concepts related to the issue, such as the body, shame and the ideal of beauty, which are applied in the analytical part to the data collected through semi-structured in-depth interviews with male and female respondents who are or have been involved in the Czech elite sport. The analytical part reveals the main actors of body shaming, which contribute to the different perceptions of body shaming depending on gender identity. The main finding of this qualitative research is that men perceive this form of abuse as a motivating factor for getting better sporting results, while women view it very negatively and it affects not only their sporting careers but also their personal lives.

The object of interaction
Kallus, Martin ; Písaříková, Jana (referee) ; Korbička, Pavel (advisor)
The bachelor's thesis on the topic Object of interaction deals with the body and its occupancy of space. It draws on my exploration of manual play and relationships to the human body. To examine them, it uses methods, procedures and means of creative spatial creation. One of the results of this research will be an interactive metal object, consisting of several modular units, which can be rearranged and thus transform the space defined by steel modules.

Corpus, Corporeality, Carnality
Lienerová, Lucie ; Čech,, Viktor (referee) ; Fexová, Patricie (advisor)
The subject of the diploma thesis is corpus, corporeality and carnality inspired by Ovid's Metamorphoses. The practical outcome is a series of paintings, drawings and objects thematizing the particular parts of the transformation of human, object and environment into individual organic forms. The transformation of the human being itself is seen as a painful process, but one that also allows for liberation from much more extensive physical and psychological suffering. The motifs of transformation are shaped and documented in a painterly way on the artist's close person and then on the environment and objects that surround this person.

The Body (Intimity)
Kojetská, Monika ; Pepe, Dita (referee) ; Hlavenka, Tomáš (advisor)
With this set I am following my previous work in which I was occupying with woman body. I catch body in intimate moments – but I encode it, so it is almost not obvious. I use light irony and exaggeration in my pictures. In this set I work with woman body as a object of voyer, who observes the woman with a peephole, lense, field glass or camera. But I keep it all in abstract and stylized position. I work with code, thanks to which we at first perceive the picture as colourful and shaped painting forms that gradually show womans body. I use bigger ammount of abstract, when forms of the body balance at the edge between figural and abstract. I enjoy the moment when there is not everything visible at the first sight in the picture. I want the viewer to look for the body, observe it and explore it. I do not aim for catching the beauty of the body or is real visual shape. I work with light irony of voyeur looks by using some deformations of the body parts.

Steal me your €motion
Rygálová, Monika ; Országhová, MA Kristína (referee) ; Sterec, Pavel (advisor)
The text deals with ways and methods of creating my diploma thesis called Steal me your €motion. The diploma thesis deals with the relationship between machine learning and emotionality. To what extent is artificial intelligence able to undergo emotional relationships and experiences defined by the physicality and experience of the human body. The topic of the work is the creation of a (fictional) inhuman entity that longs to learn from people as many bodily acts as possible that will help it infiltrate the human community. In addition to reflecting the current level of scientific knowledge, I bring an element of fiction and fiction.

Side Effect / This could be us
Masevnina, Polina ; Pustaiová,, Zuzana (referee) ; Klodová, Lenka (advisor)
My bachelor thesis Side Effect / This could be us consists of a series of photographs and the texts in the form of a visual intimate diary and focuses mainly on self-reflection. As in my previous works, I reflect on romantic and sexual relationships, changes in my mental and physical condition, whether caused by love affairs, any kind of addiction, or by taking anti- depressants. The side effect of medical psychotherapy affecting sexuality is one of the top- ics I reveal in my project. By creating my self-portraits and writing explicit notes, I satisfy the obsessive need to share my intimate life - digital exhibitionism has a therapeutic meaning in this case, it helps to ex- perience and cope with my current state. I interpret intimacy from the perspective of sharing a personal space. I explore the physical and symbolic nature of the text as the way of ex- pression and my own body as a tool for preserving and living memories. Focusing on the body I materialise it as the map of touches, I turn my experiences into a physical form.
