Antonín Kudláč Czech Popular Fantastic Arts 1990 - 2012 in Cultural, Social and Literary Contexts The dissertation focuses on the exploration of popular fantastic arts in the Czech environment between 1990 and 2012. Popular fantastic arts are defined as a segment of popular culture, which uses fantastic motifs and finds expression in various art forms and media (literature, film and television programs, visual arts, games, etc.). Popular fantastic literature (science fiction, fantasy, horror) is used as the basic medium for research in this area. For defining and understanding the nature of popular fantastic arts, its recipients (the so-called fans), who form a distinctive subculture called the fandom, are of extreme importance. This dissertation, bordering on interdisciplinary cultural anthropology, sociology, literary criticism and media studies, is based on the hypothesis of an active and creative approach of the recipients of popular culture, who endow these cultural artifacts with their own meanings, share them and use them for their own interests. This approach is rooted mostly in the theoretical works of John Fiske and Henry Jenkins, in particular in the concept of participatory culture and cultural divergence. The work consists of two parts. The research development of popular culture in...

Literature on the appropriation of hip hop culture outside of the United States maintains that hip hop engenders local interpretations no longer reliant on African-American origins, and this research project is an attempt to determine the extent to which this is the case in a specific local context. My thesis is an effort to move beyond the rhetoric of much of what constitutes the debates surrounding globalisation, by employing a research strategy combining theoretical analysis and direct engagement with the Berlin hip hop scene. My project not only aims to uncover the meanings young people in Berlin give to their hip hop practices, but intends to do so within a framework that does not ignore the discursive spaces in which these young people are operating. This is particularly relevant because of the complex ways in which race and ethnicity are related to German national identity. Furthermore, this thesis is concerned with the ways in which the spaces and places collectively known as Berlin shape the cultural practices found there. While hip hop belongs to global culture, it is also the case that the city of Berlin plays a significant role in determining how hip hop is understood and reproduced by young people there.

A temática é construída de narrativas provenientes de vivencias cotidianas rurais e urbanas e, principalmente, com as expressões da cultura popular das festas, folias e folguedos religiosos do Estado de São Paulo. Para efetivar a pesquisa, busco retomar o processo criativo envolvido na elaboração dessas gravuras, bem como rememorar momentos de vida que colaboraram na construção de minha trajetória pessoal e profissional. Como um "contador de estórias", recorro ao desenho e a coleta de falas dos festeiros para apreender, compreender e registrar aspectos da religiosidade popular e sua rica diversidade plástica. Na história da arte geral e brasileira, destaco artistas que apresentam produção significativa na área da gravura, enfatizando a cor na técnica de xilogravura / Abstract: This research aims to develop a study and consideration of the presence of color in my production of woodcuts by the subtractive process. Consisting of a series of colored woodcuts mostly lost in the process matrix, performed between the years 2009 and 2011. The conceptual relationship between printmaking and drawing will be explored and revealed through the very theme of the works (parties of popular Catholicism) and graphics processing. In the case of visual poetics, there will be a gradual process in which, concurrently, the results obtained experimentally subsidize further investigations, and thus successively over this research to achieve the final pointers / Mestrado / Artes Visuais / Mestre em Artes Visuais
