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...

In this thesis we are focusing at the notion of psychical distance first introduced in the work "'Psychical Distance' as a Factor in Art and as an Aesthetic Principle" from Edward Bullough. There were many responses to the concept of psychical distance from many authors, some of them have rejected this notion, and others tried to support it. Initially we provided brief interpretation of Bulough's work with the focus at parts, which are cited and investigated most frequently in mentioned interpretations. We are interpreting and comparing gradually the most popular works, which involve the notion of psychical distance with respect to Bullough's original concept. We are pointing out the difference between notions psychical distance and aesthetic attitude, because they are mistaken one for another by many different authors. This thesis tries to provide new look at some papers responding to Bullough's conception.

Mgr. Barbora Řebíková, Katedra estetiky, FF UK, Praha Art and Knowledge. Research of Relationship between Art and Knowledge and its Contribution to Theory of Contemporary Visual Art Abstract: The dissertation deals with the relationship between art and knowledge and examines which contribution this thematic might have to the theory of contemporary visual art. The choice of the theme is based on the sensitivity to the current events in the world of art, where this relationship is the main object of interest. This work presents and illustrates the turnovers in the contemporary art world and how the role of the audience is emphasized. It deals with the form of contemporary art that has led to these turnovers and represents factors that have influenced this form. In the work there are presented mainly the factors influencing the form of contemporary art, which influenced the demands on the audience. Attention is then devoted to the philosophical origins of the studied relationship and in the essay there are presented the basics of its exploration at Plato and Aristotle. The main theoretical centre of the studied relationship, however, is aesthetic cognitivism, which is thoroughly presented in the work. However, within this theory, which explicitly focuses on the relationship of art and cognition, is not found...

Para tanto, os objetivos aqui levantados, consideram verificar o estado atual das pesquisas sobre o tema proposto por meio de Revisão de Literatura Integrativa das publicações encontradas em bancos e bases de dados; e refletir sobre o assunto por meio da Filosofia Analítica de Arthur Coleman Danto (1924-2013). Para tal, preconizo que o espectador pode se tornar sujeito ativo na construção de sentidos, uma vez que nessa relação estão imbricadas atitude estética, fruição, apreciação e experiência advindas de diferentes possibilidades interpretação do espectador diante da obra. É possível, sob o escopo da filosofia de Arthur Danto, empreender reflexões sobre a relação do espectador e a dança contemporânea diante de obras apresentadas nos espaços cênicos tradicionais ou alternativos? Pode a arte contemporânea (Dança) suscitar ou até mesmo erigir diferentes posturas, ou atitudes estéticas diante da obra artística, fomentando outras maneiras de denominação para o espectador? Para tal esta tese traz como fios condutores, além de Arthur Danto, obras de autores da Filosofia: Jimenez (1999), Fabbrini (1990, 2002, 2010), Louppe (2012); da Dança: Banes (1999, 2011), Ribeiro (1994, 1997), Katz (2017), Rodrigues Silva (2005), Godoy (2013-2014), Faria (2011), entre outros. Nesta abordagem teórica de natureza qualitativa, ressalto o papel do espectador de dança enquanto agente transfigurador da arte em sua completude e significação. Nisto, identifiquei a importância de conceitos, teorias e fundamentações histórico-filosóficas que possibilitam espectadores, artistas e interessados, adentrar no Mundo da dança na arte valorando obras, enunciando argumentos e discursos de razão sobre possíveis poéticas empreendidas por artistas da dança. / This study aims to reflect on the relationship between the spectator and the artistic work dance in the contemporary world . Therefore, the specific objectives raised here, consider checking the current state of the researches on the proposed theme through the Review of Integrative Literature of the publications and studies found in banks and databases; and reflect on the subjec t through the Analytical Philosophy of Arthur Coleman Danto (1924 - 2013). To this end, I advocate that the spectator can become an active subject in the construction of meanings, since in this relation they are imbricated esthetic attitude, fruition, apprec iation and experience arising of different possibilities interpretation of the spectator before the work. It is possible, under the scope of Arthur Danto's philosophy, reflections on the relation of the spectator and the contemporary dance before works pre sented in traditional or alternative scenic spaces? Can Contemporary Art (Dance) arouse or even erect different postures, or aesthetic attitudes towards the artistic work, fomenting other ways of denomination for the spectator? For this, this thesis brings as conducting threads, besides Arthur Danto, the works of authors of Philosophy: Jimenez (1999), Fabbrini (1990, 2002, 2010), Louppe (2012); da Dança: Banes (1999, 2011), Ribeiro (1994, 1997), Katz (2017), Rodrigues Silva (2005), Godoy (2013 - 2014), Faria (2011), among others. In this approach qualitative, it emphasizes the role of the spectator of dance as a transfiguring agent of art in its completeness and significance. In this, I identified the importance of concepts, theories and historical and philoso phical foundations that allow spectators, artists and interested, to enter in Art dance in World valuing works, enunciating arguments and discourses of reason about possible poetry undertaken by dance artists. / CAPES: 3300401-3

This performance is included as an excerpt taken from the daily practice of the performer. This activity is characterized as a writing in itself for the reconstruction of images and experiences in memory – constituting part of what has been named hupomnêmata. The format of artistic research is indicated as the means for the construction of the work so that the ideas linked to self-care are presented as the methodological scope. Thus, self-care, linked to other theories that value the êthos human condition – the Theory of Influence, for example, promotes the understanding and improvement of the act of musical performance. If self-care is focused to constitute itself as the subject of an aesthetic attitude, then some aspects of the Theory of Influence provide the understanding that the criticism of a performance can only be another performance. Self-care indicates a change that occurs in the individual self-consciousness and thus is free for the establishment of an aesthetics of existence, so that the music makes the musician his action and his expression. The activities involved in the constitution of itself point to the possibility of a pedagogy of performance, integrated in the various narratives and forming individuals.

Summary: This work approaches Patočka's philosophy of art from the perspective of ‚care of the soul'. The first part of work describes evolution of the ‚care of the soul' in context of Patočka's philosophy of history from he 30s up to 70s. Based on this description I recognize experience of the soul as the experience of human freedom as inseparable from the ethical and methaphysical dimensions. The second part approaches art from this perspective.Patočka's intepretations of art show that Patočka saw art not only as a manifestation of human freedom, but as reflection of human position in the world and his relation to aletheia as well. However, art stays half way between myth and philosophy due to the fact, that the movement of freedom is not as absolute in art as it is in philosophy. This is evident in expressions that art takes from the fields of our emotions and experience and thus still remains for Patočka in connection with the world and our everydayness. Therefore art represents for Patočka only limited experience of the soul. It is mostly the momentum of transcendence that is important and interesting for Patočka in art, but not the results that, no matter how deep, are still insights about the things in the world.

This diploma thesis deals with landscape as a way of seeing, its critique and its defense. The thesis will initially focus on the presentation of the critical concept of ways of seeing by English art critic and writer John Berger. On the basis of this, the thesis will move to the exploration of the critical concepts of landscape and landscape painting by British humanistic cultural geographer Denis E. Cosgrove and American visual theorist and philosopher W. J. T. Mitchell. Subsequently, it will also deal with the relationship of these concepts to the concept of landscape by English historian and art historian Simon Schama. Cosgrove and Mitchell both deal in a similar way with the critical reflection of the idea of landscape in terms of postmodern and postcolonial criticism. Both authors are influenced by Berger's concept and claim that our aesthetic perception of landscape is not a natural vision, but an acquired, historically created way of seeing. This way of seeing then raises a number of questions in relation to the traditional conception of landscape aesthetics and can lead to a rethinking of traditional concepts such as aesthetic attitude, psychical distance or the idea of disinterested pleasure. Opposite to it, the thesis intends to present an optimistic concept of landscape by Schama. The...
