Turčan, Jakub ; Fulka, Josef (advisor) ; Češka, Jakub (referee)
CHARLES UNIVERSITY IN PRAGUE FACULTY OF HUMANITIES Department of Electronic Culture and Semiotics Bc. Jakub Turčan Phenomenon Almodóvar (The Interdigitation of "Small Worlds" in the Work of Pedro Almodóvar) Thesis Supervisor: Mgr. Josef Fulka, Ph.D. Thesis Abstract Prague 2013 Abstract The paper focuses on the problem of authorship by means of an in-depth analysis of the film work of the Spanish director Pedro Almodóvar. The analysis is preceded by setting the author's work in the context of its origin, introduction of its so far existing content, as well as the concepts this work employs. Due to the hypertextual character of this postmodern oeuvre, the study is based on the concept of small worlds by Umberto Eco, hence the worlds of fiction with limited content in comparison to the actual world. The complete film work is perceived as a self- contained, yet within its character an ever open Text. The interdigitation of its small worlds is understood as a series of intratextual references, however the work also monitors its intertextual and, as a blend of these two, the transtextual content. Presenting the directors unique signature, combining several known approaches of the film creation with his own style- constituting elements, the analysis adduces the auteurist character - first described by the film...

Structure and Temporality of Guanzi
Valtr, Václav ; Zádrapa, Lukáš (advisor) ; Vávra, Dušan (referee)
Tato práce se zaměřuje na problematiku identity staročínských textů. Na příkladu spisu Guanzi se snaží ukázat, nakolik náš přístup k těmto textům předem determinuje jejich pochopení. Východiskem úvah o textu je jednak koncept anachronie, tak jak jej chápe Georg Didi-Huberman, který zde pomáhá osvětlit problematiku časovosti textu; a jednak koncept rhizomu dle Gillesa Deleuze a Felixe Guattariho, kterým se snažím uchopit problematiku struktury textu. Práce ponejprv zkoumá dostupné poznatky o tomto spisu a specificky se zaměřuje na tzv. kapitoly Xinshu, a též bere v potaz současný stav bádání na poli archeologicky získaných rukopisů a domýšlí vztah těchto poznatků k bádání nad předanými texty. Dále se zamýšlí nad teoretickou možností aplikace výše zmíněných konceptů na texty tohoto období. V závěrečné části se pak dotčené kapitoly analyzovat s pomocí těchto konceptů. Součástí práce je též kompletní překlad tří kapitol (Xinshu shang, Xinshu xia a Baixin). Práce ukazuje, že otázka konceptů a metodologií, které ve zkoumání staročínských spisů používáme, zásadně determinuje náš přístup k nim, ale také ukazuje, že určité prvky z výše uvedených konceptů jsou latentně přítomny v našem uvažování k těmto spisům. Práce tedy směřuje především k apelu na důslednější přezkoumávání teoretických základů našeho bádání....

Virtuality and Construction of New Visuality
Hunčovská, Hana ; Fišerová, Michaela (advisor) ; Černý, Vladimír (referee)
This dissertation focuses on the problematic of the use of specific virtual representational methods and their influence on the construction of the new visuality. The aim of this dissertation is to show how computer simulations and visualizations used in medical imaging change the way of our apprehension of the world. Nowadays, within academic circles we witness both optimistic and sceptic theories concerning the effects of integration of computer technology and human apprehension. In this work we would like to answer the question about the type of knowledge we gain through virtual visualizations and we would like to prove that virtual simulations don't necessarily have to be a threat but, on the contrary, by developing visual imagination they can support new, creative apprehension of reality. Key words Linear perspective, logic of database, narrative, rhizome, scopic regime, simulation, simulacrum, virtuality, vision, visuality, visualization
