This master's thesis aims to explore the body of documentary and photographic work by Marie Tomanová, a prominent Czech photographer who has spent more than a decade living in the United States. Tomanová is now an established part of a long-standing tradition of American documentary photographers who seek to capture the emerging young generations and their culture. In its theoretical part, the thesis will provide a brief history of youth culture in American society from the beginning of the 20th century all the way to the early aughts.

Finally, this thesis will attempt to place Tomanová's body of work within the lineage of American documentary photographers. The results of these analyses will be...

Visual Representation of Ukraine Crisis in Respekt Magazine
Trhoň, Ondřej ; Láb, Filip (advisor) ; Topinková, Martina (referee)
This work analyses how values of Respekt weekly magazine reflect in its photojournalistic coverage of beginning of Ukrainian crisis. Through simplified content analysis method I quantified different formal and content properties of ten galleries published during the Majdan protests and tried to interpret how they are used by photographers to influence their viewers and what is their role in medial framing of the conflict. Apart from creating a coding table and interpreting the results, I led interviews with two main Respekt photographers. Cumulative analysis of those resources revealed that Respekt's coverage is not impartial and in fact favorises protesters while almost not portraying the other side of conflict.
