Concept of Female Beauty and Ugliness in Renaissance
Filipová, Terezie ; Nespěšná Hamsíková, Magdaléna (advisor) ; Jarošová, Markéta (referee)
"There is no excellent beauty, that hath not some strangeness in the proportion." Francis Bacon Female beauty defines not only physical attractiveness, but also ˗ to a greater extent than male beauty - social status. Ugliness has, on the other hand, been mocked, condemned, and even attributed to diabolical forces. Art bears witness to this. While beauty abides by the laws of proportionality, as is clear from the depictions of Venus, the ugliness of debauched old women attempts to awaken the viewer's moral sense. In this work, aesthetic analysis of selected representative works is set within their cultural, social and religious context. Keywords female, beauty, ugliness, renaissance

Asymmetrical relation of beauty and ugliness
Al-Salmanová, Sabrina ; Zuska, Vlastimil (advisor) ; Kubalík, Štěpán (referee)
The aim of this diploma thesis is to introduce the notion of ugliness as an aesthetic category, concerning the question of its position in the aesthetic experience, based in particular on the conception of difficult beauty by Bernard Bosanquet. The first part of the thesis discusses the possibility of aesthetic experiencing of unpleasantness and so specifies ugliness as inherently aesthetic category, in comparison to the unaesthetic response of disgust. The second part of the thesis deals with the question of position of ugliness and the feeling of unpleasantness if ugliness is an adequate part of the aesthetic experience which is regarded as excellent and contributing. The solution offered by Bosanquet in his conception of difficult beauty however isn't fully sufficient and therefore the last chapter introduces the problem of ugliness from a different viewpoint which emphasizes the negativity and disturbance of ugliness, impossible to dissolve. The key feature of ugliness is the ambivalent link amongst the repulsion and the attraction in aesthetic experiencing. The attribution of a meaning in the whole of the aesthetic experience, i.e. the possibility of attaining new insight thanks to ugliness, may however lead to a tendency to the reconciliation of ugliness. The original unpleasantness and...

Transformations of the Aesthetic of Ugliness in 19th Century Literature
NAGYOVÁ, Andrea
Work through the analysis of selected literary works of the 19th century attempts to answer the question whether during romanticism and decadence has somehow substantially changed the use and perception of the theme of ugliness, whether it is physical ugliness or ugliness environment ("nature" against the city, etc.). The starting point will be the aesthetics of romanticism with its use of an abomination and grotesqueness, attention will be paid to using of different kinds of ugliness in the literature of naturalism and, last but not least also the outcome of these '-isms' in literature of fin de si?cle. Work tries to capture the transformations of the relationships between ugliness and evil, ugliness and morbidity or ugliness and (un)naturalness.
