The motif of pig-slaughtering in visual arts and its possible potential for the use in art therapy
CARASOVÁ, Adéla
The work deals with the tradition of the pig-slaughtering and its reflection in the visual arts, from the genre art of the 16th century to the present. This tradition contains both the religion meaning and symbolism of the bloody sacrifice, as well as the secular mening of the whole event and the customs associated with it: the consolidation of the community of a certain group of people, the nutritional and ecological value. There is also an allegory of human characteristics and tendencies in artistic reflection. It is not only through artistic creation that we can observe that the tradition of the pig-slaughtering is slowly disappearing, although the symbolism of raw meat remains in mind. Finally, the work reflects on the topic of the pig-slaughtering in the environment of Rožnov art therapy and monitors its terapeutic potential. Blood plays a role in the therapeutic use of the theme of the pig-slaughtering and its importance as a symbol of life energy. In the painting, blood is a metafor for unconscious affective forces that co-create dynamic processes in the human psyche. Thus, the topic of thepig-slaughtering in art therapy is used to work within trapsychic conflicts. I prove the variability of this work by interpreting the images of students in the field of art therapy created within a self-experienced class.
The Phenomena of Beauty in the Works of Hans Urs von Balthasar
CARASOVÁ, Adéla
Work explores the relationship between aesthetic experience of beauty and religious experience of divine revelation. It is based on the work of Hans Urs von Balthasar, his concept of beauty in the context of theological aesthetics. The whole issue is examined phenomenologically. In Balthasar´s meaning the aesthetic experience of beauty leads man for inspection being itself, which is analogous cognition of absolute Being of God. Nature beauty is similarly related to the divine glory (Herrlichkeit).
