Summary/Abstract: The topic of my research focuses on representations of youth in press photographs (1960–1990). It is a critical approach to visual communication in late socialism in Czechoslovakia. Particularly the study focuses on photographs in Mladý svět Magazine (Young World), published by the Union of Socialist Youth, which was first released in 1959 and became the most popular magazine for youth in the examined period. The aim of this study is to find the strategy of visual representation of youth and its transformation during the period. Two methods of visual analysis are applied in the methodological part: quantitative content analysis of photographs and social semiotic analysis of photographs.
