Conceptual Art and a Problem of Aesthetic Value
Slabá, Eva ; Kubalík, Štěpán (advisor) ; Dadejík, Ondřej (referee)
Abstract
 The bachelor thesis Conceptual Art and a Problem of Aesthetic Value aims to analyze the problem of aesthetic value within one contemporary representative theory of conceptual art (text by Peter Goldie and Elisabeth Schellekens). In the visual arts the aesthetic value has traditionally been associated with the evaluation of the material object of the artwork; however, conceptual works reject the role of traditional media and replace them with the dematerialized ideas. In order for the conceptual works to remain in the domain of art, it is necessary to seek their aesthetic value elsewhere. In the first part of the thesis, after defining the basic features of conceptual art and its idea, the way of how Goldie and Schellekens replace traditional aesthetic qualities is presented. This is done on the basis of an analogy of literary works and conceptual works, through which they define a new category of experiental qualities. To set the distinction between literature and conceptual artworks Goldie and Schellekens identify the possibility of evaluation of the conceptual artwork on the basis of its description. But as it turns out, this distinction creates a problem of the relation between the idea and the value of the conceptual artwork. On the ground of this analogy, the text in the second step proceeds...
Evaluation of proposed revitalization of the river Ploučnice close to Mimoň in terms of remobilization of historical contamination
Slabá, Eva ; Matys Grygar, Tomáš ; Elznicová, J.
The aim of the study was to estimate the uranium contamination in the alluvial sediments of original river beds of the Ploučnice river between 72-73 river kilometer on a left bank, near Mimoň town, and evaluate if the contamination should be included into preparation of revitalization projects. The study of contamination was started by mapping the gamma activity of the surface of the floodplain. Based on the resulting map the sediment samples were taken by hand earth drill from the former floodplain and channels abandoned in the 1980s by regulations. The samples were analysed by laboratory X-ray fluorescence (XRF). This step was followed by subsequent mapping by handheld XRF to specify the contamination pattern in the floodplain in more details. The evolution of watershed as well as the exact terrain model were processed by GIS program. Two major contaminated areas have been found, and further sampling was conducted. This enabled us to reconstruct the historical development of contamination at exceptional time scale resolution and describe precisely the evolution from the 19th century to the time of the regulation of that river reach. It has also been shown, that any revitalization in the near future would be probably thwarted due to extremely fast river changes which would cause an immediate re-introduction of the historical contamination into the fluvial system.
