RESUME V diplomové práci, Řeč světla ve veřejném prostoru, zpracovávám otázku role světla a světelných reklam ve vztahu k architektuře a volnému umění na území dnešní České republiky. Zajímám se o celkovou estetiku, ale i dobové podmínky, které tuto oblast ovlivnily, ať již umělecky, nebo technologicky. Pokouším se situaci v tehdejším Československu uvést do celosvětového kontextu. První část je věnována období největšího rozkvětu světelné reklamy, tedy dvacátým a třicátým letům. Pokouším jsem se o zmapování celkového vývoje světelné techniky a osvětlování vůbec. V uvedené době byla světelná reklama úzce spjata s architekturou. Na konkrétních příkladech staveb poukazuji na roli denního i umělého světla. Zmiňuji zde také dobové příklady volné umělecké tvorby, související se světlem. V druhé, obsáhlejší části, se zabývám světelnými reklamami především v období padesátých a šedesátých let, s ohledem na tehdejší ekonomickou, hospodářskou a politickou situaci, která úzce souvisela s tímto uměleckoprůmyslovým odvětvím. V průběhu výzkumu jsem dospěla k tomu, že role světelných reklam v sedmdesátých a osmdesátých letech klesla na minimum. Popisuji zde, proč se tak stalo a jak v této době vypadaly a v jaké nové formy se přetransformovaly. Závěrem své práce ve stručnosti popisuji situaci devadesátých let, kdy...
