FACE or a BODY´S PROJECTION SCREEN
Joura, Bořek ; HAVELKA, Jiří (advisor) ; MĚCHÁČEK, Tomáš (referee)
This thesis aims to describe the structures of a face and consequently explain the ways of communicating emotions between people. Different methods were used for the base of my thesis: I studied pictures of various facial expressions and read different specialized books - with theatrical as well as scientific content. My focus was on the very details of human's face. I was searching to find out how people are able to understand one another. I realized that human communication goes beyond mere words. I find this revelation useful for my further theatrical work as the details in particular facial expressions differentiate the good actors from the bad ones.

"He has paid and owes nothing." Aspects of the transaction with the serf estate in the town of Mělník in the 17th century
Koumar, Jiří ; Čechura, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Maur, Eduard (referee) ; Chocholáč, Bronislav (referee)
The thesis deals with the issue of property transfer of servile real estates in the Estate of Melnik during the 17 century. As the main resource material was used the collection of Melnik Books of Land Ownership founded during the 80s of the 16 century. After the Thirty Years' War these books were restored in connection with the afterwar reconstruction of the Estate of Melnik and were published in a new edition until the turn of the 17 and 18 century. Besides these Books of Land Ownership we also studied other kinds of resources such as land and duties registers, land-registries, inventories and estimations which originated in the 17 century with respect to this Estate. In the end of the 17 century was formed a uniquely preserved register of serfs which enables us not only to have better knowledge of the structure of settled farmers themselves but also create the first picture of general structure of servile population in the Estate. In the introduction I tried to place the Estate of Melnik in the structure of Early Modern Times country estates. With the size ranging from medium to smaller the Estate of Melnik was formally as a chamber estate in possession of the Czech king for the most of its development in the period of Early Modern Times. Nevertheless in reality the Estate as a pawned land was held by...

Visualization of word - verbalization of image in the Russian second avant-garde (Vsevolod Nekrasov and Erik Bulatov)
Machoninová, Alena ; Langerová, Marie (advisor) ; Svatoň, Vladimír (referee) ; Glanc, Tomáš (referee)
This project is dedicated to an analysis of the close connections between the poetry of Vsevolod Nekrasov (1934-2009) and the paintings of Erik Bulatov (1933) in the context of Russian avant-garde movements throughout the 20th century. The interrelation of literature and visual arts goes back to antiquity. At the beginning of the 20th century, the works of the first avant-garde reevaluate the traditional primacy of literature and spoken word over painting and written word and attempt to reverse this hierarchy. The tendency to liberate image from the thrall of the word, to assert the independence of the inscribed word from the spoken word, is demonstrated through the example of cubo-futurist (mostly manuscript) books. There, the written word frees itself from its acoustic form, fuses with images of a nonverbal nature, and emphasizes its visuality by means of active penetration into the space of the page, thus disrupting the rigid linearity of the reading process. The announcement of this autonomy turned out to be a crucial condition for the utopian expansion of the first avant-garde beyond individual art forms and beyond art as such. The cubo-futurist "anti-book" represents the climax of this attack on boundaries between the arts.
