Kolmačka, Tobiáš ; Chlup, Radek (advisor) ; Stančo, Ladislav (referee)
The aim of this work is to explain the meaning of specific type of vases, so called "Kabeiric ware", for mystery cult of Kabeiroi, which took place at the shrine next to Boeotian Thebes. At first the work introduces a context of Greek mystery cults, then it aims at a significant comic aspect of the ware, in the last section the work interprets the role of comedy in Kabeiric cult using Ann Steiner's "Repetition theory" and Mary Douglas' joke theory. The work is based mainly on archaeological sources, especially local vases, but also on other votive offerings and remains of buildings. The work is limited to the period before 300 BC because of specific evolution of Kabeiric ware, since in the later period floral motifs are prefered.

The structure of a work of art and music
Bláha, Jaroslav ; Šamšula, Pavel (advisor) ; Herden, Jaroslav (referee) ; Prokop, Dušan (referee)
Současnou uměleckou scénu ovládá multimediální tvorba. Ta je naprosto přirozeným důsledkem tendencí usilujících o překonání hranic mezi uměleckými druhy, které se prosazovaly již v samotných počátcích avantgardního umění. Razantním způsobem přispěl k zrušení hranic mezi uměleckými druhy dadaismus, především pak curyšský kabaret Voltaire, a celý proces vyvrcholil v druhé polovině 20. století. O to absurdnější je současný stav umělecké komparatistiky, které chybí metodologická základna. Přitom jazyková komparatistika se právem pyšní dokonale propracovanou metodou komparace. Proto také řada prací umělecké komparatistiky vychází z této metodologické základny - po pravdě řečeno v lepším případě, protože většina z nich se tímto problémem nezatěžuje. Ovšem tato "výpůjčka" nerespektuje nejen specifické rysy umělecké komparatistiky ale ani jednotlivých uměleckých druhů (k tomu blíže v úvodní kapitole). Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Interpretative access to songs by Bohuslav Martinů and Vítězslana Kaprálová.
Laubová, Lucie ; HAJÓSSYOVÁ, Magdaléna (advisor) ; MÁROVÁ, Libuše (referee)
The aim of this study is to provide an artistic view of the song cykle by Bohuslav Martinu´s Three Chansons for the Red Seven" and the Red Seven " and the song Vítězslava Kaprálová´s "Goodbye and farewell".
In my work, I summarise the analytical opinion with musical and practical attitude and provide an artistic view to these vocel settings, which often remain neglected by both, artists and musicologists.
I grasp the work from perspective of the artist, who is trying to capture the most authentic concept of the vocal compositions by studying compositional and personal styles of the authors in order to come to a conclusion of their imaginative interpretation as closely as possible to.

The bachelor thesis deals with an analysis of the interpretation of the Trio g minor op. 15 by Bedřich Smetana. First chapter is dedicated to Bedřich Smetana´s chamber music. Then the reader is introduced into the historical circumstances of the formation of the Trio g minor and all the sources of author´s inspiration. After that the interpretative analysis of the Trio as the main focus of my thesis is presented. Used approaches of analysis are melodic, rhythmical, harmonical, instrumental, dynamical, formal and tectonic. Such a complex view of these chamber pieces enables a deeper insight into their complexity and also serves to a convincing interpretation and better understanding of the Trio g moll op. 15.

Live Coding - method, art and ideology
Rouš, Jiří ; CÁB, Michal (advisor) ; PEŠEK, Kryštof (referee)
The objective of this work is the depicting and describing of significant features of live coding, a form of audio-visual performance, which has come into existence only lately. For this purpose the work introduces three different ways of looking at this phenomenon. Before defining these methods of viewing in the text, the description of fundamental principles of translation of source code is presented, it being crucial for practicing of live coding. The first perspective looks at live coding as a method of work, the second looks at it as a form of art and the third - as an ideological gesture. Exploiting of these perspectives has helped to discover part of characteristic features of this method, its contextualization in the frame of artistic traditions and the outline of some implicit and explicit ideological aspects, bound to it. The main contribution of the work is creating a general image of this phenomenon in the context of theoretical works in Czech language, devoted to the pursued topic.

The Objectivity and Art Criticism
Pacáková, Pavlína ; KAPLICKÝ, Martin (advisor) ; KUBALÍK, Štěpán (referee)
This paper intends to answer the question of when and how we can consider a theatre criticism or review of a play to be more objective than another one. First we define the field of inquiry, art criticism and theatre criticism in particular. In doing so we describe how objectivity, truth, the author of a review and his or her intentions are related. We also explore various forms and functions of theatre criticism. While describing the process how criticism is created (perception, interpretation, evaluation and repeated search of arguments for the subjective view in the theatre piece itself) we identify how the different steps of such process influence the level of objectivity. At the end of the theoretical part this paper offers a synthesis of different criteria for objectivity in theatre criticism.
The second part compares the criteria of objective criticism with a set of current theatre reviews in the daily press, weekly magazines and professional publications. We analyze ten reviews of Václav Havel's The Garden Party (Zahradní slavnost) directed by Dušan Pařízek at the Prague's Estates Theatre (Stavovské divadlo). This set of the ten reviews includes an article by the author of this paper herself. Based on the criteria described in the first part of the paper we evaluate reviews by Radmila Hrdinová, Marcela Magdová, Marie Reslová, Vladmír Just, Richard Erm, Vojtěch Varyš, Vladimír Mikulka, Vladimír Hulec, Milan Uhde and Pavlína Pacáková. The evaluation shows the criteria can distinguish the reviews on a subjective-objective scale.
We conclude that an objective criticism fulfils several key demands: it openly defines the criteria of its evaluation, offers consistent reasoning, evaluates the theatre performance as a whole and not only as individual elements and helps the reader to make his own opinion and conclusion based on the given information.

Mozart´s Don Giovanni from the singer´s point of view
Plachetka, Adam ; BÁRTA, Martin (advisor) ; HAJÓSSYOVÁ, Magdaléna (referee)
I have chosen the subject of my thesis because of my extensive professional experience in the operative performance of Mozart`s opera Don Giovanni. I consider Don Giovanni and its title role character one of the most interesting topics in the whole of opera. In my thesis I have focused on the questions surrounding the interpretation of Don Giovanni. My observations are based on my own experience of performing in this opera in several productions at numerous prestigious European opera houses, as well as on the opinions of my more experienced and highly skilled colleagues. I have divided my thesis into the following chapters: Synopsis of the Opera with Focus on the title hero, Relationships of Don Giovanni with the Other Characters, Psychology of Don Giovanni and Don Giovanni in Modern European Productions. In the appendix one can find full interviews on Don Giovanni with Gerald Finley and Christopher Maltman.
