Military Conflicts in Contemporary Art
Weinbergerová, Lenka ; Rakušanová, Marie (advisor) ; Kukurová, Lenka (referee)
The military conflicts in contemporary art This work is trying to examine the represantation of the war by contemporary artis. Its focus is on the anti-war art, which is observed from its beginning to today. The depiction of the theme of the war has many ways. There are artists whose inspiration come from their interest in political, social or feminist activism and in their art works they think out diffrent questions which refer to more war conflicts. In their work they use own language to their imagery of such horrible atrocities taking place all over the world. And so this work is trying to describe their art works not according to the historical global or local conflict but according to some topics, that are questioning how the artists present the horrors of war, how are the artists inspired by the media like television or press and how do they depict the victims, how their works could help to pay attention on and to prevent other cruelties and atrocities of war through their works and collective colaboratin which is unfortunately not so operated nowadays as it was for example during the Vietnam war.

Political aspects in contemporary art. Czech and Slovak art in 1989-2011
Kukurová, Lenka ; Klimešová, Marie (advisor) ; Pachmanová, Martina (referee) ; Pospiszyl, Tomáš (referee)
This work focuses on the research of contemporary Czech and Slovak visual art which critically reflects problems in the society. Due to the totalitarian past in former Czechoslovakia, this orientation of art made a specific genesis. It was established as a acknowledged part of art only in the last decade. The aim of my thesis was to analyze when and by which means the Czech and Slovak sphere of visual art became repoliticized. I research and analyze selected works of artists who are critically reacting to the problems of politics and society. I keep the chronological order of the artworks and exhibitions. Afterwards I focus on the two important topics in this field: feminism and queer issues. The engagement of the artworks was forced in the past and this fact has its result in the devaluation of the term. Part of my thesis examines the terms political art and activist art in the international and domestic context and proposes its definitions.
