Fear Eats the Soul
Spalajković, Tamara ; Marković, Nikola (referee) ; Mazanec, Martin (advisor)
For my master thesis I present a video installation named Orlando: Fear Eats the Soul. The project aims to explore the tension created by performative disrupting of the complex relationship between humans and digital images. Contemporary modes of our (human) interaction with digital media challenge the divide between digital and “real.” The video and the installation deal with the potential of performative addressing of this divide through a fictional narrative, utilizing the formal characteristics of a digital camera (apparatus) as a gatekeeping instrument. In this documentation I elaborate on the theoretical and contextual foundations of the project and offer insight into the methods used in the production of the video – the central piece of the installation.

Film effects in Karel Hynek Mácha's prose narratives
Koten, Jiří
This essay inquires into the general characteristics of Karel Hynek Mácha's narrative fiction. It starts from the well-known analysis written by Jan Mukařovský. In the paper "Genetika smyslu v Máchově poezii" (Genetics of meaning in Mácha's poetry, 1938) Mukařovský claims that Mácha's works produce something of a cinematic effect. According to Mukařovský this is due to the interruption of narrated time (the dynamic plot is brought to a stop - up to a static scene), as well as by virtue of a technique reminiscent of a montage of impressive images. We consider this term pregnant, because it describes other characteristics of Mácha's fiction: the dramatical nature of narration and the fact that actions linking the storyline simultaneously serve as indices which evoke the impressive atmosphere. Even though Mácha uses authorial narration, focalization is mostly external and fictional minds aren't transparent. The narration comes close to the technique which is known as camera-eye narration.
