Author(s): Martin Kuča,Eliška Kazdová,Šárka Hladilová,Miriam Nývltová Fišáková,Lubomír Prokeš / Language(s): Czech

V několika posledních desetiletích je mimo řadu jiných témat archeologie patrný zvýšený zájem o výzkum a následnou interpretaci fenoménu nazývaného v archeologických kruzích jako rondelová či sociokultovní architektura. Na Ústavu archeologie a muzeologie (dříve Katedře archeologie) Filozofické fakulty Masarykovy univerzity v Brně mátento směr bádání dlouhou tradici. Připomeňme jen, že jako první byl ve střední Evropě kompletně prozkoumán rondel v „Sutnách“ u Těšetic-Kyjovic nedaleko Znojma, a to meziléty 1968–1978 (dějiny výzkumu jsou i s literaturou uvedeny v kapitole 1), čímž rozběhl novou etapu oboru. Od té doby bylo do dnešních dnů objeveno řádově několik desítek podobných objektů.

Author(s): Šárka Havlíčková Kysová / Language(s): Czech

The monograph “Hand Gestures in Traditional Indian Theatre” deals with a traditional Indian acting style, particularly with hand gestures.

Mudras make up an autonomous language system that can express every single thought or emotion. The research is based on ancient and contemporary theatre literature in Sanskrit, English and French, chiefly on poetics and acting manuals, and on contemporary practice of traditional theatre and dance in India. The most important sources of the research were the kootiyattam and kathakali theatres.

Prawda i fałsz w nauce i sztuce

Author(s): / Language(s): Polish

The authors discuss truth and falsehood in science and the arts. They view truth as an irreducible point of reference, both in striving for elementary knowledge about the world and in seeking methods and artistic means of achieving this goal. The multilevel and multiple-aspect research presented here, conducted on material from different periods and different cultures, shows very clearly that truth and falsehood lie at the foundation of all human motivation, choices, decisions, and behaviors. At the same time, however, it reveals that every bid to extrapolate the results of detailed studies into generalizations aimed at universalization – by the very fact of their discursivation – either subjects the discussion to the rules of formal logic or situates it outside the realm of truth and falsehood.

Author(s): Dominika Bäuchelová,Veronika Jančová,Jana Kokešová,Barbora Ligasová,Eliška Malečková,Soňa Morgenthalová,Barbora Rudinská,Kateřina Šardická,Klára Váradi / Language(s): Czech

The collective monograph summarizes the results of the research in the history of the Czech short film of the 1950s, conducted by students of the Department of Film Studies and Audiovisual Culture at Faculty of Arts, Masaryk University in Brno. Studies focusing on particular areas of industrial, agricultural, army, sports, cultural and other kinds of films discuss the cultural-political and economic conditions of developing this type of work, a thematic link with the requirements of the contracting authorities (especially the state), and their relation to other media that contracting institutions used to spread the same type of message. Besides the context, the essays examine also rhetorical and stylistic features of films. Two of the texts focus on specific distribution windows which short films entered namely the People's Film University of and cinemas called Čas (Time). Among others, these texts show that despite the programmatic approach the authorities failed to apply its cultural policy as expected. Studies balance ideological, economical and entertaining potential of short films, a show in which cases which one of them pushed and thus to what extent films understood as useful servants were really helpful.

„Nowa sztuka” w Łodzi w dwudziestoleciu międzywojennym

Author(s): Aneta Pawłowska / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

The article presents the circumstances of the formation of modernist art in a large industrial city like Łódź in the interwar period. The factory character of the multinational, dynamically developing city influenced its culture and art. Through the fact that the Jewish diaspora (the expressionist Jung Idysz group) and the abstractionists (Władysław Strzemiński, Katarzyna Kobro, Karol Hiller, Stefan Wegner, Aniela Menkesowa) participated in the artistic movement in large numbers, the city of the "cultural desert" grew to become an important centre of modern art. Important activities supporting the development of modern art in the city of Lodz included the creation of the International Collection of Modern Art in the Lodz Museum and publications from the so-called "a.r. Library" (related to the artistic practice of the "a.r." group).

Old Masters in New Colours

Author(s): / Language(s): English

The study of the artworks of the Old Masters has long been the prerogative of art historians alone. Expertise and other art-historical methods can now make much greater use than ever before of the findings of the so-called exact sciences. These make it possible to acquire new knowledge about works of art of the past that is not obvious to our eyes. Imaging and instrumental methods for the study of works of art often allow us to literally “look into the painting”, below the surface of what we see, and observe the work in different areas of the invisible spectrum of electromagnetic radiation, for example. By using various research methods – with the necessary caution and awareness of their limitations – it is often possible to gain insight into the hypothetical process of the creation of the work and into the painting’s layers. It is possible to characterize the material nature or technological processes or to study the author’s changes and later interventions in the work. Various research methods allow us to see artworks from different perspectives and to study them figuratively speaking “in new colours”, often the colours in which they appear to our eyes using a variety of imaging methods. How an art historian can work with technological knowledge and to what extent he can rely on it at all is demonstrated and addressed in a total of seven case studies dealing with hanging paintings by Old Masters from the collections of the Archbishopric of Olomouc and the Olomouc Museum of Art.

Milý Franku: I. Dopisy Bohuslava Martinů Franku Rybkovi z let 1941 až 1954 / Dear Frank: I. Bohuslav Martinů's Letters to Frank Rybka from 1941 to 1954

Author(s): Jana Honzíková,Vít Zouhar / Language(s): English,Czech

The correspondence between Bohuslav Martinů and Frank Rybka often surprises with the directness, frankness and lightness of the composer as he asks for advice and help or describes everyday events. Frank Rybka was the composer's childhood friend and from the 1940s onwards was among his closest confidants. As a result, the writing is casual and relaxed. It reminds us of conversations between age-old comrades, where no topics, questions or requests are off the table. It is direct, playful, but also hedonistic. Additionally, however, it contains the composer's final will and testament from the dramatic year of 1948. After their arrival in March 1941, Frank Rybka helped the Martinů family build a new life in the United States. He organised their living quarters, transport, books, new contacts, helped negotiate royalties, find musicians, as well as provide Bohuslav Martinů with alibis for his holiday jaunts. This supportive role is also emphasized in the solitary letter from Martinů's girlfriend Rosalie Barstow. This first volume of correspondence with Frank Rybka highlights the origin and performance of a number of Bohuslav Martinů's compositions. It documents the complicated search for a soloist for his Cello Concerto No. 2, for the title of the composition Thunderbolt P-47, the work on the opera Mirandolina or Martinů's musings about Dostoyevsky's novel The Possessed. An ostensibly breezy exterior disguises the cavalcade of dramatic events that occurred to the composer and his wife Charlotte during the years 1941-1954.

Týnský kostel a architektura poděbradské doby

Author(s): Jana Pařízková Čevonová / Language(s): Czech

"The Church of Our Lady before Týn, since the 14th century the main parish church of the Old Town, after the Hussite Wars the main church of the Utraquist Church in Bohemia and Moravia and an unmissable dominant feature of the historical centre of Prague, is the second most important medieval sacral building in Prague after St. In syntheses of the history of Czech Gothic architecture, it is often ranked at the forefront of the development of the architecture of the Luxemburg period, and at the same time the completion of the church after the Hussite Revolution is mostly presented as the most important building of the time of George of Poděbrady. On closer inspection, however, the ideas of many authors regarding the identification of the pre-Hussite and post-Hussite parts of the church differ fundamentally, which raises important questions for the understanding of the architecture of the Poděbrady period. The present book on the Late Gothic completion of the Old Town Church of Our Lady of before Týn attempts to contribute at least partially to a more detailed treatment of the architecture of the Poděbrady period, which summarises many years of research on the building."

Beethovena III Symfonia Es-dur op. 55 – na granicy światów

Author(s): Piotr Chlebowski / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

Composed in 1802–1803, Symphony No. 3 in E-flat major is a landmark work not only in Beethoven’s oeuvre but, above all, a landmark in the music of that era. It grew out of the classical tradition, as evidenced by its overall structure and character, but at the same time it effectively transcends that tradition. It represents a structure of breaking out and crossing boundaries in many aspects and elements. The text shows the features and characteristics of Eroica that stand on the side of classical approaches, as well as those that emphasize the romantic dimension of the work. Mostly, attempts have been made to treat both tendencies in a directional rather than a scope-based manner. The approach proposed here seeks to emphasize the original dimensions of the work in the bipolarity of its structure, whose agitation or instability becomes the main property or value of the musical piece.
