Death Note - Separate Output Media Analysis
Doležálková, Klára ; Pospiszyl, Tomáš (advisor) ; Fila, Kamil (referee)
My thesis analyses one of the japanese popular comicses ? manga ? Death Note (written by Takeshi Obata and
illustrated by Tsugumi Ohba) and its other media incarnations,
which means animated tv series and a feature film consisting
of two parts. I put an effort to compare them considering the
camera work, editing, size of the angle and the story itself.
Their relationship to the contemporary japanese visual culture
is mentioned too. To describe the visual character of japanese
commercials and the phenomenon of "superflat" I chose to use
the broader frame of Japan proper. Furthermore, I made a
research on the social group of japanese teenagers called
otaku, prodigy and last but not least the media technologies
appearing often in Death Note. Finally I included the chapter
about the origin of a picture, or, rather: how it is impossible
to perceive a picture in its purity, when every single picture
is derived nowadays.
My thesis is mostly based on the english-written literature,
but I gained a lot of information online and from a Živel issue
about Japan.

Unofficial Public Art In Czech Republic
Turner, Vladimír ; Pospiszyl, Tomáš (advisor) ; Fabuš, Pavol (referee)
This essay investigates art in public space created outside of official structures. Environment of its creation, including authors' intentions, nature of individual techniques and its social and cultural impact and media image are described and assessed in this work.
The essay opens with definition of the public space based upon socially critical theories in terms of which I, then, attempt to describe Czech contemporary society. Next, it gives a historical overview of artistic activities on the border of the law which aimed to influence the public at large. Chronologically, it highlights selected works by, for instance, Vladimír Boudník and action artists such as Milan Knížák until the end of 1980's. The paper's main focus, however, is contemporary Public art. Illegal public art is thereby defined including all its sub-categories.
With reference to individual significant works of art I try to illustrate various attributes of today's engaged art. I investigate multiple attempts of Czech artists to promote their works as socially significant phenomena, i.e. to join art and life together. I am deeply intrigued with how art is perceived by large and open public. My main focus is art within urban environment, even though public space may be more healthy on its outside. I intentionally omit the platform which is currently the most liberal niche of free communication and artistic work, the internet.
Field of interest of this paper may be defined within the boundaries of these terms: image of illegal street art in different public media, social critique, art outside galleries and official structures, social impact of art, engaged art, subversion, streetart and life in the city.
In this work I try to find the answer to the question, whether Czech public space (if there is any) is used freely as a platform for independent art.

Photography and Memory - Karel Absolon
Hladký, Filip ; Pospiszyl, Tomáš (advisor) ; Dias, Pavel (referee)
The object of my work is the personality of Karel Absolon (1877-1960), researcher from Brno. Among other things, Absolon carried out research work of the Moravian karst region. The main interest focuses on Absolon´s descents to the bottom of the Macocha abyss, and particularly on his photograpic and popularizing activities, unprecedented in the then society. Soon he came to understand the role and possibilities of the photographic medium which he used with the aim of promoting not only his research work, but also himself. Absolon did not perceive himself as a photographer but rather a scientist, however his photographic work reached a very high level, both technical and artistic. He was also able to use the potential of the new medium to its full extent. Absolon´s photographic pictures became a sensation. Their scientific and romantic nature held the attention of the audience and gave them the feeling of sharing the adventure of discovering the unknown together with the author. However, Absolon´s enthusiasm about photography was directly related
to his research work, and thus it is necessary to understand his legacy in this context.
