The main goals of this thesis are description of a quite complicated peled breeding topic in the Czech Republic, evaluation of inconsistent taxonomical data, biology and ecology of the Coregonus maraena and Coregonus peled. The approach to peled breeding is in detail evaluated recently as well as in the past. Methods of breeding, fishing out, fish tank breeding and fish transfer are addressed. The questionary survey among peled producers was used for critical evaluation of their experience. The factors that discourage producers from peled breeding (eutrophication, predation by cormorants or otter as well as technological difficulties) were stated. Due to these factors the peled production is limited despite the stabile market demand. The case study of peled production was realized. In the condition of huge fish stock (carp and grass carp) the main negative impacts were confirmed.

Religious motifs in the works of the Art Group "Die Pilger" Abstract: The topic of this Thesis is the German-Czech art group called Die Pilger which was active mainly in Prague between 1920-1923. Its main specific feature was a strong focus on religious motifs among which Bible themes prevailed. However, religious motifs were not portrayed in a historical manner but the group often used unusual modern means of expression. However, the religious focus of the group was not proclaimed anywhere, nor did it correspond to all the work produced by the members of the group. The thesis focuses on the religiously motivated creation of the group and analyses what specific themes the artists have chosen. The aim, however, is not to list the depictions and their frequency, but to interpret individual ways of processing the given motif and through it to define the relationship of the group to these motifs and the reasons for their use. Semiotics seems to be the most appropriate examination method to apply in this case which allows you to move away from the historical burden of works and focus only on their content. The second part of the thesis analyses the narrative that is associated with the group and which significantly influences the way we perceive the work of the group. In addition to the interpretation of...

The diploma thesis deals with the topic of new myth in art since the end of 1920s to the February coup in 1948. The thesis focuses on the work of Josef Šíma and the artists of Groop 42 and it is based on the premise that there was a new myth emerging in both cases.

Connecting link of the thesis is the personage of Josef Šíma, which was also role model for the younger artists of Groop 42. Important are also the approaches to the new myth of Václav Navrátil, Jindřich Chalupecký and Karel Teige.

This version of myth manifested itself in February 1948 by establishment of totalitarian political regime. Key words New myth, crises, revolution, symbol, Josef Šíma, Le Gand Jeu, Group 42, romanticism, Karel Hynek Mácha, Jindřich Chalupecký, Václav Navrátil, Karel...

Friedrich Press war ein namhafter Bildhauer und Gestalter, der bis zu seinem Tod 1990 in etwa 40 überwiegend ostdeutschen Kirchen Werke geschaffen hat. Ein umfangreiches, von Press maßgeblich bestimmtes Projekt ist die 1970 begonnene Neugestaltung der Kirche Sankt Josef in Dresden. Der Entwurf des Künstlers umfasst auch ein Relief für die Brüstung der Orgelempore, dessen Herstellung durch die Kirchgemeinde seit 2013 diskutiert und etwa 2014-2018 realisiert wurde. Da Friedrich Press 1990 verstorben ist, war eine unmittelbare Mitwirkung bei der Realisierung nicht möglich. Authentizität bedeutet Echtheit im Sinne von „als Original befunden“ (wikipedia 2019). Authentizität ist keine objektive Kategorie, sondern von der Wahrnehmung und Interpretation der Rezipienten geprägt. In der bildenden Kunst ist die Authentizität eines Werkes unbestritten, wenn der Künstler das Werk eigenhändig schafft. Dies trifft für Maler, Bildhauer oder Grafiker zu-mindest weitgehend zu, die nur unwesentlich auf Fähigkeiten und Mitwirkung anderer Menschen zurückgreifen müssen, um ihre Ideen in Werke umzusetzen. Anders ist die Situation in der Baukunst oder in der Produktgestaltung, wo der Architekt oder Designer seinen Entwurf nicht selbst handwerklich umsetzen kann. Die Arbeitsteilung bewirkt zwangsweise Abweichungen von der ursprünglichen Gestaltungsidee. Meist wird man entsprechende Werke dennoch dem entwerfenden Gestalter zuschreiben und insofern das Werk als authentische Umsetzung einer Entwurfsidee beurteilen. Eine Skulptur wird unter verschiedenen Aspekten wahrgenommen. Neben der Gesamtform und der Komposition der Bestandteile, die aus dem Entwurf klar hervorgehen, bestimmen auch Material, Farbe, Textur und Einordnung in den räumlichen Kontext die Wahrnehmung der Skulptur. Diese Merkmale sind durch den Entwurf oft weniger dokumentiert und entstehen erst im Prozess der Umsetzung. Es ist davon auszugehen, dass eine vollständig authentische Umsetzung der künstlerischen Intentionen nicht möglich ist [...] Der vorliegende Beitrag befasst sich mit der Realisierung des von Friedrich Press entworfenen Reliefs an der Orgelempore und der Frage, inwieweit das Ergebnis als authentisches Werk des Künstlers gesehen werden kann.
