Charity as the fundamental characteristic of the Christian behaviour. New Testamental perspective
Mlčoch, Jan ; Ryšková, Mireia (advisor) ; Scarano, Angelo (referee)
The diploma thesis deals with the topic of "Mercy from the point of view of the New Testament". By the method of analysis of each relevant pericope - from the canonical Gospels and the letters of the Apostles Paul and James - and by pointing out the importance of the theme in the teaching of the last three Popes, the aim of this thesis is to highlight the importance and urgency of mercy in the context of present complex and turbulent times. The thesis tries to demonstrate that mercy among men is asked for by God the Creator himself and by his Son the Redeemer and Saviour. Closely related to mercy are the themes of forgiveness, grace, love and justice. Mercy is a fundamental characteristic of God's action and remains an imperative for action among men here on earth. The future on this earth is strongly dependent on upholding the values that mercy brings with it. Keywords Mercy, God the Father, Jesus Christ the Son of God, forgiveness, compassion, grace, love, pontificate, encyclical.

Artists and Photography (Czech Painting and Photography in the 19th and Early 20th Centuries) - Dissertation abstract - Romana Pospíšilová The topic of this dissertation is the multi-layered relationship between painting and photography in Bohemia in the 19th and early 20th centuries, particularly the role of photography as an inspirational material for artists. The invention of photography in 1839 brought about many changes and stimuli in society at the time. Photography contributed to the development of a number of scientific fields, changed the form of illustrated magazines and news, and democratized access to one's own portrait. It also uncompromisingly spoke to the visual arts of the time. For painters, photographs, whether they were their own or were purchased elsewhere, represented a reservoir of visual stimuli. They facilitated the study of nature. They also brought about new impulses in the form of snapshots, chronophotographs and medical images. In the artist's studio, the photograph replaced the absent model, serving as an 'aide- mémoire'. However, it could also be projected directly onto a screen and mechanically copied. The use of technical images by painters did not fit into the 19th century concept of the artist as a creative genius, which was still very much alive. Art critics of the time,...

Action Art, Land Art and Photography as an (un)reliable witness
Šimková, Lenka ; Klimešová, Marie (advisor) ; Mlčoch, Jan (referee) ; Buddeus, Hana (referee)
Action art, as well as land art, and photography are an inseparable match. Photography is naturally conceived as one of the essential means of documentation of these artistic forms and often the only source of information about their visual appearance. Therefore, we need to ask what this means for our perception and evaluation of the individual art works, how the artists treated such documentation, who and why produced it and what were the subsequent strategies of its representation. But above all, we need to realise and assess our general expectations, presumptions and believes associated with the medium of photography and its anthropological, philosophical and sociological aspects.
