Baborovská, Sandra ; Wittlich, Petr (advisor) ; Šámal, Petr (referee) ; Fišer, Marcel (referee)

Myslbek and his evolution as an artist since the early sixties of the 19th century are being discussed. This part covers Myslbek's trip to Paris in 1878 and his friendship with Vojtech Hynais, which helped him gain a deeper understanding of the contemporary French sculpture and which was vital to the stylistic formation of his sculpture "Music" (created between 1891 and 1907, during Myslbek's presence at the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design and at the Academy of Arts). Myslbek's first students at the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design were influenced by his lyrical conception; the generation of Maratka's classmates have followed their teacher to the newly established Academy of Arts. Around 1900 sharp controversies between the teacher and his students have arised - these in retrograde seem to be essential for their future success. Graduates of the College of Stonemasonry and Sculpture in Horice were among the students of the sculpture studio at the Academy of Arts in Prague. Their previous training laid an ideal foundation for artistic growth under the tuition of Myslbek, who have stressed the importance of craft, which...

Schmarc, Vít ; Bílek, Petr (advisor) ; Bauer, Michal (referee) ; Šámal, Petr (referee)
Thesis In The Land of Lyres and Steel is an analysis of official culture of the high Stalinist period in Czechoslovakia (1948-1953) based on up to date concepts of ideology. For them ideology as such is not a notion of an error, misunderstanding or manipulation but true condition of social being as an interaction of subject in inter-subjective structure. Main aim of the thesis consists in semiotic mapping and criticism of ideology; therefore it reconstructs mechanisms, by which reality is created by and in ideology - including parts that were repressed to hide antagonisms in ideological structures. Material for this analysis comes mostly from the works of young authors, whose poetics and fantasy were artistically formed in the Stalinist period. This thesis is not trying to go on in common fashion: looking for universal and uniform but on the contrary - to search for unique and distinctive. Using the concepts of socialist realism common in Anglo-Saxon tradition it perceives this cultural-political system not as ultimate product of supreme power but as active horizon of negotiation between subject and ideology. The conclusions are partial observations on the level of basic appellations of ideology: reproduce, transform, include / exclude and their realization in different fictional worlds of poetry, which are...
