Metternich - Nobile - Metternich. Patronage as a relationship with a changing constant
Petrasová, Taťána
2020 - Czech
This paper examines the authorship of an artwork as the result of patronage in which the social capital of both participants - the artist and his patron - changes. Initially Metternich drew on the symbolic capital held by the Italian architect, who had studied in Rome. Later the balance of their relationship was reversed. The variable element in this patronage was the imbalance between how the patron and artist benefitted from their social capital - one in terms of representation, and the other in terms of success on the art market. Tento příspěvek zkoumá autorství uměleckého díla jako výsledek patronátu, v němž se sociální kapitál obou účastníků - umělce a objednavatele - proměňuje. Nejprve čerpal Metternich ze symbolického kapitálu italského architekta s římským akademickým školením. Později převážil vztah právě opačný a Nobile posiloval svou pozici zejména díky politickému kapitálu Metternicha. Proměnlivá hodnota patronátu spočívala v nerovnováze, s níž patron nebo umělec zúročovali svůj společenský kapitál - jeden z hlediska reprezentace, druhý z hlediska úspěšnosti na uměleckém trhu.

On sepulchral memory in an epigraphic campaign: The towns of Prague after the events of 1648
Roháček, Jiří
2019 - English
The more than four-month successful defense of the Old and New Towns of Prague against Swedish troops in 1648 was relatively small in the context of the Thirty Years' War, but a very important episode for Prague cities and to a large extent for Bohemia. In Prague we can observe the remains of a relevant, originally certainly much richer epigraphic campaign, which has two main directions - the first is connected with thanks to Virgin Mary as protector and intercessor of cities, the second with contextual presentation of improved coats of arm of Old and New Town. Surprising is, however, the absence of a larger sepulchral memorie of 219 fallen defenders. The only preserved monument is the epitaph of Václav Čabelický of Soutice in the Church of Our Lady before Týn. The figural epitaph is known for its rich heraldic and epigraphic accompaniment. This fact raises a number of questions about the position of sepulchral and epigraphic monuments in a collective memory.

Religious Allusions in Non-religious Texts in Czech Popular Music: “God has covered His face”
Opekar, Aleš
2019 - Czech
The paper deals with an abundance of sacred, mostly Christian symbolism in the texts of Czech popular music, whose contents are not religious. Christian symbols are used as a common supply of words, similar to everyday speech, and sometimes they are placed in layers of sequences, such as prayers for love and art. Sometimes they are used as poetic devices that enhance aesthetic effects. The core of the paper is an analysis of specific but mutually different approaches of three Czech singer-songwriters of three generations: Jiří Suchý, Svatopluk Karásek, and Beata Bocek. While Suchý works with religious rhetoric rarely but with great artistic effect, Karásek makes it a natural part of his songs, which in his day was a relevant extension into social and political topics. Beata Bocek’s topics do not match any expected style: she uses common language for singing about sacred matters, and sings about general human matters in soulful language. Článek pojednává o posvátné, většinou křesťanské symbolice v textech české populární hudby, jejichž obsah není náboženský. Křesťanské symboly se používají jako běžná slovní zásoba, podobná každodenní řeči. Někdy se vyskytují ve vrstvách sekvencí, jako jsou modlitby za lásku a umění. Někdy jsou použity jako básnické prostředky, které zvyšují estetické působení. Jádrem práce je analýza specifických, vzájemně odlišných přístupů tří českých zpěváků a skladatelů tří generací: Jiřího Suchého, Svatopluka Karáska a Beaty Bocek. Zatímco Suchý pracuje s náboženskou rétorikou jen zřídka, ale s velkým uměleckým efektem, Karáska z ní činí přirozenou součást svých písní, což bylo v jeho době významným rozšířením sociálních a politických témat. Beata Bocek popisuje spirituálně vznešenými slovy světskou realitu, zatímco křesťanskou víru vyjadřuje obyčejným slovníkem z ulice.

Philosophy and urban public space
Kratochvíl, Petr
2019 - Czech
The essay develops the idea of urban public space from the paradigmatic situation of dialogues that Socrates conducted on the agora with his fellow citizens about common affairs of “polis”. This opportunity to confront own experiences with those of other people represents the deeper social sense of the public spaces and should be protected against restrictions connected with privatisation, and commodification of urban public space. The essay refers to theories of H. Arendt, J. Habermas and R. Sennett. Studie rozvíjí ideu městského veřejného prostoru z paradigmatické situace dialogů, které vedl Sókrates na athénské agoře se svými spoluobčany o obecných záležitostech “polis”. Tato příležitost konfrontovat vlastní zkušenost s názory jiných lidí představuje hlubší sociální smysl veřejných prostorů a měla by být chráněn před restrikcemi spojenými s jejich privatizací a komercionalizací. Studie odkazuje na teorie H. Arendtové, J. Habermase a R. Sennetta.

Photography and the moment. Several comments on the mechanical recording of the image and the reciprocity of light and time in the 19th century
Trnková, Petra
2019 - Czech
One of the key issues met with by professional and amateur photographers, natural scientists and ultimately even artists working with photography in the 19th century was the length of the exposure. Based on several examples from output both at home and abroad, this article describes not only the changing face of exposure time (both faster and slower) as new photographic technologies developed, but also its practical application, the transformation of its „ideal“ and not least, the associated technology. Jedním z klíčových problémů, s níž se potýkali profesionální i amatérští fotografové, přírodovědci a koneckonců i umělci pracující s fotografií v 19. století, byla délka expozice fotografického materiálu. Na několika vybraných příkladech z domácí i zahraniční produkce příspěvek popisuje nejen samu proměnu expoziční doby (její zrychlování i zpomalování) v závislosti na vývoji nových fotografických technologií, ale i její praktické využití, proměnu jejího „ideálu“ a v neposlední řadě i související terminologie.

Two „alternative“ epigraphic inventory acts and their significance for the study of sepulchral monuments
Roháček, Jiří
2019 - English
In 2011, a questionnaire inventory of epigraphic sources in the archives of the Czech Republic was carried out in cooperation with the Department of Archival Administration of the Ministry of the Interior of the Czech Republic and the Institute of Art History CAS. The integration of epigraphic and sepulchral monuments into one inventory is based on research practice. The publication is in print. The second inventory undertaking sets itself higher objectives both objectively and methodically. It is an epigraphic database of the Center of Epigraphic and Sepulchral Studies of the Institute of Art History CAS. The added value is consideration of the possibilities of application of digital humanities methods.
