Definitions of Art
Mikešová, Marcela ; Kulka, Tomáš (advisor) ; Kubalík, Štěpán (referee)
The thesis deals with George Dickie's institutional theory (IT) of art. Dickie provides a definition of art which relates art to cultural, social and historical conditions. His definition is based on realizing the contextual framework of so-called Artworld. The thesis maps the intellectual background of Dickie's theory, analyzes its form, and provides a critical reflection of its shortcomings. In the first part we introduce several authors, whose work forms the theoretical background for the Dickie's theory, including anti-essencialism. We will outline the basic principles of the IT and, finally, we will point out the major problematic issues of his relational theory of art. Keywords artworld, institutional analysis, conferring status, candidate for appreciation
