Dandysm Today
Schlupková, Gabriela ; Heczková, Libuše (advisor) ; Merhaut, Luboš (referee)
In my thesis for a bachelor degree I introduce the evolution of dandyism and I try to describe how this phenomenon is viewed by present-day (literary) theoretitians. This originally social phenomenon is embodied in the figure of Lord Byron, connected to romanticism and is broaden by literary and intellectual stances where Baudelaire contemplates concept of beauty and modernity, Oscar Wild represents the decadent aesthetic of the end of the century and where the Czech dandy is Arthur Breisky. In my thesis I also address contemporary expressions of dandyism - neoconservatism on one side and the esthetics of camp on the other side. Amongst the basic principles of dandyism belongs stylization - underlying function is surface, dandy stylizes himself into the image of an artifect, his individuality expressed through clothes (or more radically through his own body). For this reason I also pay attention to a fashion as a medium of (artistic) expression. Keywords Dandy, surface, mask, stylization, aesthetics, mystification, contemporary expression of dandyism, self-creation.
