Landscape of Caspar David Friedrich and Gerhard Richter
PROCHÁZKOVÁ, Adéla
The aim of the work is a comparison of the landscape painting by Caspar David Friedrich and Gerhard Richter. Both painters are viewed individually, as well as through the lens of their mutual inspiration. The mainworks under review are the six landscape paintings, which are at first interpreted individually and later collectively. Reception Aesthetics was chosen as the methodological framework. In the initial analysis, emphasis is placed on the empty/open spaces in the paintings as an entry for a viewer. The artistic contributions by both artists are taken into account, including their work with Nature, the landscape and their search for beauty and knowledge.The term 'romantic' is significant in this thesis and must be confronted within the traditional as well as modern concepts. The aesthetic category of sublime is linked to the traditional concept, which was transformed into a visual experience by means of Gerhard Richter's modern conception. Both of the painting's criteria correspond to the question of the viewers'expectation/discovery/recognition of the seen. Richter works on the topic of recognition with the aid of the artistic technique of photo painting, which ranks as a philosophical interpretation. As well as comparing the landscape paintings, the painter's artistic approaches to the meaning of the paintings are also contrasted. Friedrich's landscape painting elements should be regarded as hieroglyphs, while Richter allows the viewer to add meaning to the painting. In conclusion,the work compares the landscape paintings based on the reception by audiences of the 19th and 20th centuries. Interpretation is hampered by the presence of emotions in the viewing process, a fact which this work also briefly takes into account. The visualisation of landscape in the conception of C. D. Friedrich, which is also reflected in the work of G.Richter, is similarly manifested through other contemporary works, such as documentaries, photographs, video games, specific examples of which are briefly described in the last subchapter. The entire work traces the author's initial response in her interest in Richter's landscape painting in the context of her previously acquired visual and theoretical experience of the landscape painting by C. D. Friedrich.

The differences between perception of metonymy in photography and in movies from the perspective of reception aesthetics
Christovová, Tereza ; Fišerová, Michaela (advisor) ; Borecký, Felix (referee)
The diploma work "The differences between perception of metonymy in photography and in movies from the perspective of reception aesthetics" deals with different uses of the figure of speech - metonymy - in visual communication. The metonymy is primarily used as an ornamental device of language expression. It is also distinguishable in purely visual information that is provided in photography and certain film shots. In visual communication, metonymy is also used for embellishing of the visual content or, at least, its correction. This work is focused especially on these examples of the use of metonymy that employ the method of reception aesthetics, which was up to now applied only to literary works. The subjects of interest of the reception aesthetics are so- called places of indeterminacy and the horizon of expectation which is also the focus of this work in addition to its main focus on metonymic expression in movies and photography. The first part of this work deals with the theory of the reception aesthetics and its main exponents. The second part deals with the relationship between the recipients and the media, specifically photography and movie. The last part of this work deals with the theory of rhetorical figures, particularly metonymy and its special form - synecdoche, and it's application...

"Hliník moved to Humpolec". Cult film (not only) in the Czech context.
TRUBKA, Jiří
The diploma thesis focuses on the phenomenon of cult film, its theoretical definition, its history from the beginning to the present days, in world vide and Czech context. Another topic is the typology of cult films, selected cult directors. The other aim are fan activities, which are essential for the acquisition of the cult status of the film. The aim of this work is to reflect the phenomenon of cult film and to analyse selected Czech films in order to find out whether these films meet the cult film criteria according to the characteristics of selected theoreticians. The resulting analysis will confirm or will rebut my hypothesis and will show whether the use of the term cult film is accidental and has its backing in the Czech environment.

The Concept of Implied Reader in Wolfgang Iser's theory
Berková, Pavlína ; Kaplický, Martin (advisor) ; Kubalík, Štěpán (referee)
The Bachelor thesis titled "The Concept of Implied Reader in Wolfgang's Iser Theory" aims to introduce the concept of implied reader, which played the key role in the theory of reception aesthetician Wolfgang Iser. In the beginning the thesis is focused on the context of Iser's works, i.e. the Constance School of reception aesthetics and its main ideas, then introduces the concept of implied reader itself. Iser is using this term to capture the nature of the interactions that take place in the process of reading. The thesis introduces not only the concept but also its role in the process of reading and in the constitution of a literary art work. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)
