Horvátová, Nella Anežka ; Kučera, Miloš (advisor) ; Viktorová, Ida (referee)
The bachelor thesis is focused on mapping the main themes of the drama by A. P. Chekhov The Seagull. The aim is to describe the intertwining of the lines of love, art and the symbol of the seagull in relation to the characters. Furthermore, the thesis takes into account the setting of the play's motifs in a broader context. In each chapter it suggests the relationality between the characters as well as their functions in the play. Analysis, compilation and comparison are used in the treatment, and the findings will be demonstrated through practical examples and quotations from the play, which will form part of the theoretical part of the thesis. The thesis also includes conceptual maps that graphically illustrate the thematic relationships between characters and themes. The thesis is based on foreign and Czech publications related to the interdisciplinary interpretation of Chekhov's drama. One of the main terminologies used is psychologist Lee's concept of the theory of love. The text is written on the borderline of several disciplines and mixes mainly findings from psychology and drama theory. KEYWORDS The Seagull, Chekhov, psychology of art, drama theory, love, art

Between Realism and Abstraction: The Creation of Meaning in the Work of František Kupka, Paul Klee and Willem de Kooning
VANDERKOVÁ, Andrea
The main focus of this research is to clarify the relationship of František Kupka's abstract work to reality and his approach to creation and interpretation of visual meaning. In addition to Kupka's work itself, the research is also aimed to create sufficient theoretical background for following interpretation. This part of the research adresses visual communication, especially the significance of the image in relation to (non-)similarity, and the processes of identification and articulation of meaning in abstract image. This theoretical background, inspired by visual studies, include findings from several disciplines, especially semiotics, psychology and neuroaesthetics. The synthesis of these findings is specifically applied to František Kupka's abstract painting, The Cathedral. The interpretation is based on visual studies, František Kupka's own opinions, and the graduate´s own observation and reception, with the focus on the conditions of reception.

Aristoteles on MRI: Screenwriting through perspective of cognitive science
Šifra, Miroslav ; POZZI, Jaroslav (advisor) ; KAJÁNKOVÁ, Lucia (referee)
Our stories are not taking place in the cinema, but in the mind of viewer - that's basic idea behind this thesis.
Best tools for insight into the minds of people are coming from cognitive sciences, but their perspective is often ignored by screenwriters.
How does the pattern-seeking brain works? Which psychological effects can influence the first act of screenplay? What is an anchoring? What screenwriter needs to know about selling home bakery? What is
theory of mirror neurons and what it can teach us about an empathy? How much information is just too much? And how viewer's attention operates?
These questions and examples from author's own work attempt to describe how to look at screenwriter's craft through the cognitive perspective.
