Writing about art: the problems of interpretation of art and its conveying in media through the eyes of Czech art journalists
Laufer, David ; Hroch, Miloš (advisor) ; Čeňková, Jana (referee)
The bachelor's thesis Writing about art: the problems of interpretation of art and its conveying in media through the eyes of Czech art journalists deals with writing about fine art in media. First, it generally examines the influence of language and society on the definition of art, after which it focuses on the interpretation of works of art in art journalism, the limits of its arbitrarness and the role of the reader and the context. This theoretical knowledge is used in the practical part to analyze semi-structured in-depth interviews with respondents from the ranks of Czech art journalists. Their statements indicate the importance of careful choice of the composition of texts and the method of interpretation, which often depends on the specific nature of the described work of art or exhibition. In spite of these variables, this thesis shows generally preferred approaches of individual respondents to interpreting art. They either build their texts informatively and base their interpretations on the opinions of curators and artists' life stories, or they approach these external interpretations rather skeptically and stick to their own analysis. Respondents agree that in any case they influence the public's view of the often incomprehensible and insufficiently medialized contemporary art, which...

Jíša, Martin ; Schneiderová, Soňa (advisor) ; Lütke Notarp, Ulrike (referee)
The aim of this diploma thesis is to analyze the media construct of the European Union in chosen Czech mediae. The work applies to a concrete section of medial world using the method of discourse analysis and describes the structural means of the medial image of the European Union, emphasizing the ideological and political aspect of the analyzed material. The analysis is based on the certain period of 2018, when the presidential elections took place. This period was chosen due to the higher probability of occurrence of the required material. The material for discourse analysis was selected in the weekly magazines Echo and Respekt. The crucial criterion for the selection of these two periodicals was their explicit orientation towards conservative, alternatively liberal ideological orientation. The work describes the variability of the creation of media constructs. Due to the wide range of linguistic means, that can be used in discourse analysis, it was necessary to concretize the analysis into several partial linguistic phenomenons. The work is mainly structured in a form of metaphor due to the frequency and the influence. In the analysis, it was necessary to proceed to a more detailed categorization of metaphor so that it could be applied to specific textual material. At the same time, the most...

Loudová, Barbora ; Just, Petr (advisor) ; Osvaldová, Barbora (referee)
Czechoslovak society underwent a fundamental change in 1989, in which a certain portion of society, previously restricted from official intervention in politics, took crucial part. Even though this part of society (the dissent) was before 1989 restricted from participation in politics, it had been doing so. However, in illegal ways at that time, for which had been the involved often persecuted. This group of dissidents later contributed to the revolutionary changes, which is the source of certain mythology that began to appear in connection with them. During 1990s their influence decreased, and the dissent's political elite was gradually replaced by a new right- wing elite, promising economic reform and rapid transformation. The idealistic conception of politics was replaced by the pragmatic one and completely different and ambitious personalities came to the foreground. The new characters did not come from the background of fight against totalitarianism, yet they quickly gained political skills. This transformation of elites in Czech society can be expressed via comparison of Václav Havel and Václav Klaus, as both of them were among the main initiators of domestic politics. Therefore, this diploma thesis is focused on them and their media portrayal. The media reflect everyday reality and pose as...

The role of proofreading in modern media
Platil, Daniel ; Slanec, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Halada, Jan (referee)
Bachelor's thesis "Proofreading and its role in today's media on the example of the magazine Respekt" consists of two parts. The first theoretical section mainly focuses on the definition of key concepts, proofreading work, conventions, and rules concerning interventions into the texts. It also attempts to put the change of the profession into the historical context, which is mainly related to the rapid technical development of the polygraphic industry. The practical section subsequently analytically verified readers' satisfaction with the level of linguistic competence of the magazine Respekt through a questionnaire. Following the results of the questionnaire that indicated worsening quality proofreading of ten selected issues from the years 1997, 2007 and 2017 was made to assess whether there have been any changes concerning the level of linguistic competence.

On the occasion, language editor Petra Švehlová directly from magazine Respekt was approached - she attempted to interpret and evaluate the acquired data.
