Poetika deaf and dieing in traditional and presently Czech culture
SRPKOVÁ, Zdeňka
Death is regarded as the end of the life cycle of any living being, including humans. Death has still been made a taboo topic of a regular conversation. Understanding the finiteness of death in this context is differently perceived in different cultures and in different periods of society development. Czech culture as a part of the Central European civilization area has its specifics in understanding the death issue, which is reflected in all varieties of artistic creations. Therefore, the objective of this thesis was to determine the attitude of a selected population sample to the death issue from the ethical point of view, and if the artistic expression of death influences this point of view. Another goal of this thesis is to find out if people think about death, which causes their thoughts depressive, or if they consider death an integral part of life concerning all of us. The thesis consists of two parts {--} theoretical and practical. In the practical part, the method of quantitative research, the interrogation method using the questionnaire technique was applied. The data obtained from the questionnaires were evaluated and made into graphs. The results show that the hypothesis 1: ``I do not think of death, when death comes, it will be present. I would feel depressed thinking of anything like that{\crqq} was not confirmed. On the contrary, the hypothesis 2: ``Death is a matter of logic, accompanying life, and I have been trying to cope with this fact both in the case of my loved ones and my case{\crqq} was confirmed. After the analysis of the obtained data, the hypothesis 3: ``I have encountered a death expression in a work of art and I felt deeply touched{\crqq} was only partially confirmed. The respondents claimed that they had encountered such a work of art but left untouched, because they considered the expression of death only a part of the work, which also confirms the hypothesis 4: ``I consider an artistic expression of death as a part of the work, a mere intent of a writer or and artist, I am not concerned at all. The thesis could be used as an instrument to inform the general public and professionals on the impact of artistic creation on the view of a certain population sample on the death and dying issue.
