Prizes and Awards as Means of Mystification of Cultural Values
BARDOVÁ, Lenka
My thesis Prizes and Awards as a Means of Mystification of Cultural Value focuses on questions of prizes and awards in the cultural area. Thesis considers the positive and negative aspects of prizes and awards. The phenomenon of prizes and awards is researched in historical, etymological, sociological and institutional position. The general base is aesthetic and sociological theory of Jan Mukařovský, Arthur Danto, George Dickie and Pierre Bourdieu. Key concepts are formed by aesthetic function, norm, value, artworld, literary and art field. There are also practical examples (newspaper articles, press releases, Web sites etc.) applied to theory and concepts of prizes and awards.
