Post-graffiti art: Interweaving of painting and street/graffiti art in contemporary Czech art
DRAŽAN, Richard
The thesis deals with a contemporary artistic phenomenon of post-graffiti. It maps its development and main artists, while it attempts to encompass what can be considered a post-graffiti work and thus define its boundaries. Contemporary artists, mainly painters who work at least partially in this style are described. Those artists come not only from Czechia but also from abroad. The work thus primarely attempts to provide a detailed description and formal analysis of this phenomenon, while secondarily it aims to map the contemporary Czech post-graffiti scene. Based on research in the body of work, two main categories of artists' approach to the creation of post-graffiti paintings are outlined. Sub-genres of this phenomenon are also described. This thesis also explores the articulation of motivation that plays a significant role in an individual's transition to studio painting from illegal graffiti painting in the urban exterior. One of the chapters focuses on an aesthetic comparison of abstract expressionism and post-graffiti. A short section also includes a description and development of the Czech graffiti scene. The second part of the thesis is devoted mainly on interpretation of the works of Czech artists that can be categorised as post-graffiti in their contemporary work or in part of their artistic career. This section also includes characteristics comparison of Czech and foreign approaches to the creation of post-graffiti artworks. Furthermore, the theoretical argumentation of high and low art is applied to the relationship between graffiti and post-graffiti. This issue of art hierarchization is reviewed throughout the whole body of this academic work.

Ignát Hořica: Austrian Officer on the slavonic South.
HAVLÍČEK, Filip
This bachelor thesis is focused on Ignát Hořica and his literature. It is an incomplete monology - complete monology would be over the criteria the bachelor thesis. This thesis is divided to two parts - theoretical (biography), and practical (interpretation of Hořica's war themed literature, and literature of other themes of his literature). Due to lack of the society's interest is my thesis only a summary of the basic articles - the original intention was also comparing of war stories in Bosnia by different authors of the same genre, but even this part would be over the criteria of the bachelor thesis.

The cultural significance of grafifiti and its image portrayed by the media
Rufer, Jan ; Géla, František (advisor) ; Silverio, Robert (referee)
The main objective of this work is to present the phenomenon of graffiti via a series of photographs, to introduce the subculture which stems from graffiti making and to actualize it in the context of the contemporary media environment in the Czech Republic. The content of the practical part was created in collaboration with the Czech CSR crew during several different events. In the theoretical passage, I briefly introduce the history, development and transformations of this subculture in the Czech Republic. The thesis consists of two segments - theoretical and practical. The practical one is realised in the form of a photobook titled Art living by night. It is the pillar of this bachelor thesis. The photographs were taken by a digital and analogue camera during 2021 to early 2022. They are included to document the process of graffiti making itself through the eyes of a non- participating un-biased observer during various occasions and in different settings. Ido not focus on the process of photography itself as much as the content of the images itself. In the theoretical part I lean into the topic of how graffiti, and the subculture associated with it, is perceived by selected domestic media outlets and what image of this artistic discipline show the public. This segment is primarily defined by the...
