Semiotic and anthropological analysis of Prague metro
Brabcová, Adéla ; Marcelli, Miroslav (advisor) ; Šafaříková, Radana (referee)
Presented diploma work called "Semiotic and anthropological analysis of Prague metro" shows metro to a reader as a place from a semiotic point of view. A metro "user" plays a key role in the whole diploma work. Apart from dealing with metro as a place, this work also regards a reference of a fixed structure of metro to a city. The work also pays attention to an analysis of signs that can be found there by a metro user and can serve him as a useful tool for better orientation there. In the theoretical part semiotics as a science and its approaches are being presented. The diploma work also deals with a topic of a city from an antropological point of view. It applies, for example, a question of place and nonplace, picture of a city or a map and itineraries. The applied part of the work presents use of the theory in Prague metro. It also deals with orientation, navigational sign systems and comunication systems. Other topic examined in this diploma work is a role of Prague metro and its city surroundings in a mental city mapping done by its user. Besides, the work shows the metro and its surroundings as a place of everyday life. Keywords: Semiotics, sign, communication, binary opposition, connotation, denotation, text, city, image map, places and non-places, place and space, map, itinerary, everyday...

Axmanová, Petra ; Marcelli, Miroslav (advisor) ; Švantner, Martin (referee)
The thesis examines a sign and its theory, focusing on the function of sign in art, particularly in theatre. Both communication conditions and meaning production are covered. The practical part analyzes particular theatrical signs in 'The Education of Little Tree' performance. Selected parts of the performance are examined in detail with regards to the theatrical signs and generating meaning in terms of work with gesture. Further it studies changes of actors' characters and as well as analogue and digital communication.

Semantic web in confrontation with Peirce's Semiotics
Řeháčková, Dana ; Pudlák, Štěpán (advisor) ; Švantner, Martin (referee)
The Semantic web was created for a purpose of conceptualization data available on the Internet. Through formalized representations, that are determined for data sharing and reusing, should have been its vision realized. Main aims of Semantic web are high exactness and relevance for searching question. The controversy and polysemy of the term "Semantic web" let us consider the question: "Where is the limit of involving semantic aspects provided on Semantic web?" Is it not only the amount of determinations of specific standards that are connected with data itself? The main aim of this thesis is the comparison of using terms on the Semantic web in semantic metadiscourse with traditional academic semiotics approaches appeared from pragmatic of Ch. S. Peirce, Ch. W. Morris and H. P. Grice. The thesis should help with mapping the problematic area that is connected with using terms like "meaning" and "understanding" and clarify the possibilities of the function of the Semantic web based on the semiotics conceptions.

Reception of the work of Ferdinand de Saussure in the literary criticism of the Prague linguistic circle.
PROCHÁZKOVÁ, Iveta
This bachelor thesis called Reception of the work of Ferdinand de Saussure in the literary criticism of the Prague linguistic circle deals with F. de Saussure's basic linguistic thesis and their acceptance in Prague linguistic circle. The thesis is divided into two parts: the first one explains the most important terms of F. de Saussure, the second one focuses on searching these terms in works of Roman Jakobson and Jan Mukařovský. The aim of this bachelor thesis is an analysis of the attitudes of R. Jakobson and J. Mukařovský to F. de Saussure's text - Course in General Linguistics - particularly in connection with application of some thesis to work of art.

Unstable Paintings
Pražan, Jan ; Typlt, Lubomír (referee) ; Rathouský, Luděk (advisor)
My diploma thesis depends on form of traditional hanging picture. The theme of "unstable images" I tried to complete in three cycles Špalky, Kaktusy and Čaje. I filled them with two narrative paintings Kardinálové and one solo piece Acaccia hand. I'm trying to find a shape of the subject matter that would fill the picture significance of such a character that display that object could become replaceable.

Symbols in the European cartographic work with topographic content
Šafránková, Tereza ; Bartoněk, Dalibor (referee) ; Plánka, Ladislav (advisor)
This diploma thesis deals with the exploration and comparison of symbol keys used for official maps of European countries. The theoretical part deals mainly with legends and cartographic symbols as a key element of the thesis. Then an assessment of available symbol systems and comparison of map symbols used in symbol systems for the official map of the Czech Republic is made. In the conclusion there is drawn proposal for symbol system applicable to maps of all European countries.

Analysis of the keys to the maps of thematic atlases
Hamáčková, Martina ; Bartoněk, Dalibor (referee) ; Plánka, Ladislav (advisor)
This diploma thesis is occupied with analysis of the keys to the maps of Landscape Atlas of the Czech Republic and the Landscape Atlas of the Slovak Republic with emphasis on their mutual comparison. This thesis based on the published general theoretical principles of cartographic production. The theoretical part concludes with a chapter that engages in the key in detail, its types, procedures, etc. Then come critical analysis and classification keys to the maps of Landscape Atlas of the CR and subsequent comparison with Landscape Atlas of the SR using objective cartographic criteria. There is observed mainly the overall clarity, completeness, graphical representation and last but not least the overall look of the keys.

Live typeface
Jiříček, Milan ; Špiřík, Jan (referee) ; Rajmic, Pavel (advisor)
The work describes the theoretical foundations of modern methods of creating new fonts, that is, using information technology, specifically vector programs. It also marginally shows the history of the font, Roman writing, the basic division of its compositions and describes its individual elements. The next part of the project focuses on creating digital fonts and continues with bringing it to live using algorithms and methods that can easily be processed in Matlab programming language. The method of implementation of the bringing the typeface to live is described and presentation of the generated results are then shown in few examples. Attention is also paid to the coordinates system, which is very important to solve geometric transformations, and two-dimensional vector graphics, which are widely used in the design and to render the fonts. Bézier curves and cubic Bézier curves are described in further detail along with vector graphics rasterization. One part of this text describes very important de Casteljau algorithm. The last chapter focuses on implementation in Matlab programming language, the creation of curves, that means single font characters, and the ways of how the algorithm works with transformations. Some sample images showing transformations using different input arguments are displayed in this section as well. There is evaluation of the contribution of this application and the possibilities of further expansion at the end.
