Čepec, Richard ; Wiendl, Jan (advisor) ; Vojvodík, Josef (referee)
Popular Culture Patterns in Poetism (abstract) This text aims to describe fundamental manifestations of poetism through the perspectives of actual pop culture science and previous approach of the 1920s. Poetism as a specific viewing method of the world developed in the region of Czechoslovakia in the first half of the 1920s (artistic union Devetsil). Popular culture elements have their own role and function in the new rendering of reality and democratization process in the literature. Karel Teige and Vitezslav Nezval are considered as the key figures of the concept. In the first section text points to the research of popular culture mainly in the second half of the 20th century and also points to the Teige's essential theoretical bases from the first half of the 20s. With awareness of Teige's multilateral and interdisciplinary orientation, this text stresses his essays about literature and cinematography. The conclusion of this section is that the terms pop culture and popular culture are not the same, the first is a source of new elements and themes not fully theoretically described in the 1920s. The second terme is a socioeconomic a cultural complex fully integrated in the capitalistic society and usually interconnected with the so called "high culture".

The revolutionary dream Devětsil(1918-1921)
Bulíček, Jan ; Pullmann, Michal (advisor) ; Petrbok, Václav (referee)
The revolutionary dream Devětsil is about young artists and leftist intellectuals who set up the avant-gardist union of artists known as the Devětsil in october 1920. The establishment of the Devětsil was the culmination their experience and participation in events of the revolutionary era (1918 - 1920) when the realization of social revolution made great changes possible in Czechoslovakia. The idea for the Devětsil came about spring 1919 during the first bigger revolutionary wave. As the part of the avant-garde scene, members of the Devětsil wanted to create more than an artistic union, they wanted to have political and action program. However their conceptions of the revolution were very abstract in spite of their marxist convictions. Althoug one of their main goals was the abstract realization and the expression of a revolutionary actuality, they were not actually in touch with the revolution because there was a big intellectual distinction betwen members of the Devětsil and proletariansm who according to Marx were main protagonicts of the revolutionary process. When members of the Devětsil recognised this contradiction, they woke up from their revolutionary dream. Keywords revolution, dream, Avant-garde, Devětsil, Teige
