The work focuses on the personal authorial process. The author compares these personal processes and experiences and confronts them with other views on the subject. The aim of the work will be to highlight the process as a necessary part of art. The work will also examine authorship as itself. Emphasis will also be placed on the work of current and past authors and their process over decades of work. In the practical part, the work deals with "art based research" where the author analyzes her own works and tries to find recurring patterns in her creative processes. She also points out the importance of the teacher's role and leadership to the importance of the process and not just the goal.

This article examines the normalisation era political cultural weekly Tvorba, its position in the field of official literary criticism since 1969, and above all its mutual relationship with the original literary supplement Kmen (1982) before and after its independence. It also examines editorial strategies used to introduce these periodicals into official journalistic discourse, including the publication of certain metacritical positions. One discussion on Karel Sýs’ denunciation text Dislocated at the Joints (Vymknuta z kloubů, 1988), for example, seeks to highlight the progressive themes and values of official literary criticism at the end of the 1980s, which increasingly presented itself as autonomous, and which would go on to find its place in the 1990s as well.

Brojevi su raznolika vrsta riječi, mogu biti jednočlani i višečlani, neki su sklonjivi, neki su nesklonjivi, u brojeve se ubrajaju i brojevne imenice i brojevni pridjevi, pa se i tipovi sklonidbe razlikuju. Unatoč tome, opisu njihove tvorbe posvećeno je malo prostora. Babić u Tvorbi riječi u hrvatskome književnome jeziku to tumači ovako: „Koliko među zamjenicama, brojevima, prijedlozima i veznicima i ima tvorbenih riječi, to ih je samo nekoliko i tipovi više nisu plodni. To su većinom za tvorbu riječi zatvoreni sustavi, jer nema novih osnova, često s malim brojem jedinica...ˮ (Babić 2002: 15). U Hrvatskome mrežnom rječniku – Mrežniku predviđeno je da se obradi i tvorba riječi, no pri obradi brojeva i riječi motiviranih brojevima pokazalo se da dosadašnji opisi tvorbe koji se nalaze u gramatikama ne nude sva rješenja, što ih čini manjkavima. U radu će se analizirati tvorba brojeva i riječi tvorenih od brojeva koje su obrađene u Mrežniku., Numbers are usually defined as words that describe how many units there are of what the word denotes, or how many units should be counted to come to some object. They are a heterogeneous group; they can be simple or complex, some are declinable while some are indeclinable. As a word group, numbers include nouns and adjectives, so the types of declination are different. Despite this diversity, the description of their word formation is not as detailed. In Tvorba riječi u hrvatskome književnome jeziku, Babić explains: “Among the pronouns, numbers, prepositions, and conjunctions, there are words formed from others, but these are just a few, and the types of formation are no longer productive. From the aspect of word formation, these are mostly closed systems, because there are no new root words, and there is a small number of units...” (Babić 2002: 15). Word-formation data will be provided in the Croatian Web Dictionary – Mrežnik, but when describing numbers and words motivated by numbers, it has been shown that current descriptions in grammars are not sufficient. In this paper, the wordformatting models of numbers and words formed from numbers included in Mrežnik are analyzed and roots and suffixes are determined.

This work deals with creation in literary education. In its view creation is not only an addition or a way of education results verification. It is considered to be a way how to achieve literary goals. It also deals with contemporary didactics teachers' views and context of Czech curriculum. It looks for specific forms of creative work in professional publications and analyses chosen current textbooks in the terms of questions and tasks for students. It comes to a conclusion that professional publications can be seen or used as a source of particular methods and principles and textbooks can be used as a database of appropriate texts from the didactics point of view. Furthermore, the work brings the reflection of a few own lessons based on the creation. Studying the resources leads to the view, that creation is a source of constructivism, an option not to learn completed conclusions but to achieve literary knowledge through a process by working with an artistic text. Students are learning by making an artifact and communicating about it. The pivotal point of work in the class is a reflexion which helps students to take the knowledge adopted by creation. Most often creation in literature is put into practice by creative writing or by drama methods. It is still possible to find and make meaningful...

Paronimi su riječi koje imaju sličan izraz, a različit sadržaj, odnosno to su riječi koje se slično pišu, ali imaju različito značenje. Upravo zbog sličnog izraza, govornici često odstupaju od norme pri upotrebi paronimskih glagola u svakodnevnoj komunikaciji. U teorijskom dijelu rada raspravlja se o paronimskim glagolima na semantičkoj, tvorbenoj i morfološkoj razini. Objašnjava se glavna razlika u značenju određenih parnjaka, tvorbeni načini i značenje određenih sufiksa i prefiksa kao i sličnosti i razlike u glagolskim oblicima. U drugome dijelu rada prikazuje se provedeno istraživanje o paronimskim glagolima. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 109 ispitanika koji su podijeljeni u tri skupine po razini obrazovanja, materinskome narječju i odrazu jata u materinskome govoru. Znanje ispitanika provjeravalo se na temelju upitnika koji se sastojao od tri zadatka, svaki je sadržavao po deset rečenica. Prikazani su rezultati svih ispitanika, a zatim su se odgovori raščlanjivali prema trima spomenutim kriterijima (obrazovanje, materinsko narječje i odraz jata). Cilj je istraživanja bio utvrditi razlikuju li govornici paronimske glagole te odstupaju li od norme hrvatskoga standardnog jezika pri njihovoj upotrebi. Svrha je istraživanja utvrditi najčešće pogrješke ispitanika pri uporabi paronimskih parnjaka, a pokušat će se objasniti i uzroci odstupanja. Rezultati istraživanja potvrdili su da ispitanici najbolje poznaju razliku između prefiksalnih paronimskih parnjaka što se ispitivalo u drugome zadatku. Nešto lošije riješili su treći zadatak koji je zahtijevao prepoznavanje standardnog i nestandardnog oblika glagola, a najlošiji su rezultat postigli u prvome zadatku u kojemu se od ispitanika tražilo da prepoznaju korijenske paronimske parnjake u određenom kontekstu. Rezultati istraživanja potvrđuju Tafrin (2003) zaključak o nužnosti izrade rječnika paronima u kojemu bi se nalazilo objašnjenje paronimskih riječi i njihove tvorbe te popis najčešćih pogrješaka kod govornika. A word which is similar in form of derivation but different in meaning is known as a Paronym. In other words, paronyms may refer to words that are linked by a similarity of a form. Precisely due to a similar form, speakers often deviate from the norm when using paronymic verbs in everyday communication. The theoretical part of the paper discusses their semantic, formative, and morphological formation, the main differences in the meaning of certain pairs, a list of suffixes and prefixes, as well as similarities and differences between them. The second part of the paper presents the research which involved 109 respondents divided into three groups according to the level of their education, mother tongue and the concept of “jat“ in their mother tongue (long and short forms of some morphemes - “ije/e/i“). The research was based on a questionnaire consisting of the three main tasks, each containing ten sentences. All the answers were then presented, and divided into three groups - according to the criteria mentioned above (education, mother tongue and the concept of “jat“). The aim of the research was to determine whether speakers distinguish paronymic verbs and whether they deviate from the norm of the Croatian standard language, as well as to detect the most common mistakes. Some attempts are made to explain the causes of these deviations. The results confirmed the hypothesis that the respondents are familiar with the difference between the prefixal paronymic pairs, which were examined in the second task. The third task was somewhat more difficult, which required recognizing the standard and non-standard form of the verb. Finaly, the worst results were achieved in the first task, in which the respondents were asked to recognize the roots of paronymic pairs in a certain context. The results of the research confirm Tafra's (2003) conclusion drawn from the necessity of making a dictionary of paronyms, which would contain an explanation of each paronymic pair, as well as a list of the most common mistakes in their use.

This diploma thesis deals with the spiritual poetry of Rudolf Jurolek from a religionistic- theological perspective. First, it determines the context of the poet's work through the delimitation of the concept of spiritual poetry and the characteristics of its contemporary form. The thesis then contains a detailed literary-religionistic analysis of individual Jurolek's poetry collections (Dobrovoľná samota, Život je možný, Smrekový les, Poľné vety, Posunok, Putovanie Jakuba z Rána, Hierografia) with an increased interest in spiritual themes and motifs. Subsequently, based on the results of the first two steps, the thesis determines mysticism as a suitable interpretative framework for religionistic-theological research. Among the focal points of Jurolek's spiritual search, nature and poetry, the thesis reveals the connection with mysticism, both on a thematic-motivic level through the figures of particular saints (St. Francis of Assisi, St. Hildegard of Bingen, Plotinus) and through individual phases of mysticism (awakening, purification, enlightenment). The thesis also finds a connection with mysticism in the poet's way of writing which, from the point of view of philosophy, recalls the procedures of Husserl's phenomenology. At the same time, the thesis observes where Jurolek comes closer to the...

The bachelor thesis deals with the options of art therapy approaches in the kindergarten environment. It focuses on the artwork of sibling pairs. The thesis is divided into two parts. In the first, theoretical part, it addresses the characteristics of child and childhood, and child development in physical, mental and social terms. It deals with the influence family and family environment, siblings and sibling constellations on the child's development. It also touches on the importance and content components of preschool education and exposure to peer group. It describes basic features of children's artistic expression and the theoretical possibilities of the overlap of art therapy to art in kindergarten. In the second, practical part of the thesis, case reports of four sibling pairs and an analysis of their artwork are presented, in the context of the circumstances and period of its origin. The research has been carried out in a kindergarten environment. The aim was to find out how the artistic expression of siblings reflects the experience of the family environment, how the siblings interact with each other and whether this fact appears in their artistic expression. We found out how the joint presence of these siblings affects their activity in the group and pointed out the possibility of opening the way to solving their adaptation problems and individual themes through artwork.

This bachelor thesis examines the unique life of fine artists. This work aims to understand how fine artists understand and experience their artistic creation. The thesis consists of a theoretical and empirical part. The theoretical part is devoted to art and artistic creation in the context of psychology, the emphasis is placed on selected fundamental psychological approaches. The empirical part examines how artists understand and experience their artistic creation based on the realisation and processing of in-depth semi-structured interviews with three fine artists aged 51, 35 and 41 years. The psychological qualitative approach - interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) was chosen to understand the unique lived experience of the examined fine artists. The results of the analysis and interpretation of interviews are 3 portraits, which depict the perspective of the examined artists, their unique lived experience and subjectively significant mainstays of their life and artistic creation. The other results are 4 main themes that capture the relation between the experiences of individual respondents, map the most important topics and reveal the essence of the examined phenomenon. The following main themes crystallised out of the available data: "Creation as…", "More than profession", "Artist as...

This thesis provides a linguistic analysis and classification of aviation abbreviations using a limited corpus of English aviation terms. The research covers 216 abbreviations that come from a few sources: Acronym Glossary by Federal Aviation Administration, List of Frequently Used EASA Abbreviations by European Union Aviation Safety Agency and All Aviation Abbreviation Dictionary issued by Flying in Europe Organization. The analysis of the collected abbreviations was carried out using a framework proposed by Lopez Rua (2006) and developed in Fabijanić, Malenica’s work (2013a, b). Abbreviations were divided into three broad categories – alphabetisms, acronyms and hybrid abbreviations, according to the set of specific parameters. The parameters include orthographic elements used in the formation of abbreviations such as initials, prefixes, numerals and syllables, and various types of orthographic changes that the elements of abbreviation undergo, such as metathesis, ellipsis, and addition. The results of the research reveal that the most common pattern of forming abbreviations in the aviation field is represented by alphabetisms in narrower sense - abbreviations that are pronounced letter-by-letter and contain initial letters of each word in a phrase, without omitting any constituent or undergoing an orthographic change. Ovaj diplomski rad sadrži lingvističku analizu i podjelu kratica u zrakoplovstvu na temelju ograničenog broja engleskih avijacijskih termina. Istraživanje pokriva 216 kratica sakupljenih iz nekoliko izvora: Acronym Glossary Američke savezne zrakoplovne uprave, List of Frequently Used EASA Abbreviations Europske agencije za sigurnost zračnog prometa i All Aviation Abbreviation Dictionary koji je izdala organizacija Putovanje zrakom u Europi. Analiza je provedena uz pomoć istraživačkog okvira koji je predložila Lopez Rua (2006), a u svom radu upotrijebili Fabijanić i Malenica (2013a, b). Kratice su podijeljene u tri šire kategorije – alfabetizmi, akronimi i hibridni oblici prema skupu posebnih parametara. Ti parametri uključuju ortografske elemente koji se koriste kod tvorbe kratica kao što su npr. inicijali, prefiksi, brojevi i slogovi, i razne vrste ortografskih promjena kod kratica: metateza, elipsa, adicija. Rezultati istraživanja pokazuju da najzastupljeniji oblik tvorbe kratica u polju zrakoplovstva čine alfabetizmi u užem smislu – kratice koje se izgovaraju slovo po slovo i sadrže početno slovo svake riječi u frazi bez izostavljanja ijednog člana fraze i bez ortografskih promjena.

The topic of hallucinogens use is currently very actual. According the Annual Report on Drug Situation in the Czech Republic in 2015, the lifetime prevalence of LSD use in the population is 3.1 % and 5.4 % hallucinogenic mushrooms, but it is higher among young adults (5.7 % and 9,2 %) (Mravčík et al., 2016). Users of hallucinogens tend to be a people devoted to various forms of artistic activity. The thesis aim is to determine whether and how selected hallucinogenic drugs use may affect artistic production (from the perspective of users). Data has been obtained through the method of unstructured interview.

The Function of Speech in Husserl and Merleau-Ponty The submitted doctoral thesis is an attempt to describe the development of the intentional function of speech in Husserl and Merleau-Ponty. The intentional function is defined as the change of expressed meaning that is engendered by the expression itself. We trace Husserl's position from the Logical Investigations and the first book of his Ideas pertaining to a pure phenomenology and to a phenomenological philosophy, where he describes speech as the non- productive mirroring of other kinds of intentionality, to the late text The Origin of Geometry, where he discerns two functions of speech: it provides thought its ideality, which is different from the ideality of species; and it provides thought its objectivity, i.e. the form of object that lasts in history as identical. In The Phenomenology of Perception, Merleau-Ponty adopts Husserl's late position with several profound modifications. The starting-point ceases to be the linguistic sign, and speech becomes a kind of gesture. As a consequence, the difference between linguistic and non-linguistic ideality disappears. Furthermore, Merleau-Ponty holds that the expression accomplishes the meaning of what it expresses. In this way, speech becomes creative and ceases to be just an empty intention of...

Dvojba kojom Descartes u Razmišljanjima o prvoj filozofiji želi raskrčiti put prema istini širi se od djelomične dvojbe kojom je zahvaćena vjerodostojnost pojedinih spoznaja, preko pitanja o (ne)moći spoznavanja kao takvog, do krajnjih granica osjetivih, iskusivih, zamislivih, mnijetljivih i naposljetku do subjekta samog. Pokušaj izvođenja takve posvemašnje dvojbe uključuje i zlog genija, obmanjivača, koji se kao mogućnost pojavljuje takvim pretpostavljanjem koje je obrtanje u protivno mnijenja o najboljem Bogu, tvorcu koji može sve i izvoru istine i koje (obrtanje) spada u moć slobodne volje. Descartesovu sveopću dvojbu moguće je promatrati kao svođenje na ništa (reductio ad nihilum). Takva pak dvojba pretpostavlja neka postojeća, a time i misao o tvorbi, koja je sadržana u mnijenju o Bogu i u mnijenju o zlom geniju, a potom se otkriva i u ideji o Bogu. Time je naznačena opsegovna (objektna) strana dvojbe koja se, subjektno i pri svome kraju, kroz »ja« odlučuje suočiti s veoma moćnim i veoma lukavim obmanjivačem. Pritom se »ja« u svojem postojanju, pogledom unatrag, osvješćuje i o istini svojeg porijekla. U tekstu koji slijedi, polazeći od samih Descartesovih spisa, potražit ćemo odgovore na pitanja ima li pretpostavka obmanjivača i sama pretpostavke i koje, što Descartes podrazumijeva pod zlim genijem i zašto ga treba, odnosno zašto ga uvodi u razmatranja te kako se sanjanje i ludilo odnose prema dvojbi., In his treatise Meditations on the First Philosophy, Descartes seeks to clear the path to truth by means of doubt which extends from partial doubt, affecting the credibility of certain insights, to queries about man’s (in)capacity for reasoning as such. It pursues the ultimate limits of that which can be sensed, experienced, thought or imagined (res) and ends with the subject itself. The endeavor to pursue doubt to its limits involves the evil genius, the deceiver who, as a possibility, emerges with such inverted reasoning as to oppose notions about the goodness of God, of an omnipotent Creator who is the wellspring of truth, and which (inverted reasoning) is representative of the power of free will. It is possible to regard Descartes’ universal doubt as a reduction to nothing, »reductio ad nihilum«. Still, doubt of this kind presupposes actual existence (res existens); similarly, thoughts on creation are contained in thoughts on God and the evil genius and later are revealed in the idea of God. The objects of doubt are thus outlined, and finally doubt resolves subjectively, through »I«, to confront the very powerful and very cunning deceiver. In doing so and by looking back, »I« in its existence becomes aware of the truth of its origin. In this article we will attempt, by analyzing Descartes’ texts, to resolve whether the assumption of the deceiver contains within it assumptions as well and the nature thereof; also, who is the evil genius for Descartes, why does he need him, what is the reason for including him in his reflections, and finally, in what way do dreaming and madness relate to doubt?

This thesis is questioning the meanings of artistic creation. It is divided into two parts - theoretical and empirical. The first part introduces the topic through seven fundamental psychological approaches. The second part tracks the question of the meanings of artistic creation using qualitative half-structured interviews with three painters. During the interview analysis and interpretation, additional text and image documents are included as supplementary sources. Subjectively important topics that are linked to individual's artistic creation formed their so-called internal story of creation as the first output of analysis and data interpretation. Moreover, all three stories are compared with psychological approaches within the model of De Botton and Armstrong (2014), extended by a mutual comparison among artists and unification of various psychological approaches. Key words: creation, meaning, art, purpose, value

This diploma thesis primarily deals with the reviews of Czechoslovak television series in the weekly print Tvorba, central press organ of Communist Party of Czechoslovakia, in the normalisation period of 70's and 80's. In the second place, it also deals with other relevant articles that are somehow related to the television series issues in general. Additionally, it pays attention to formal aspects of the reviews studied in the thesis (language specifics, form, space and development of the television reviews section etc.) The thesis is divided into two main parts: theoretical and analytical. The theoretical part brings information about the cultural-political weekly print Tvorba, it outlines social and historical context of the period traditionally called normalisation and last but not least gives theoretical background about the phenomenon of Czechoslovak television series. The analytical part works directly with the reviews found and also other relevant articles from Tvorba. On the basis of these particular reviews and articles, the main aim is to describe ideas and opinions of cultural editors and reviewers on the form, art rendering and role of television series as a specific genre of television production and, at the same time, to bring an overview of what aspects were on the reviewed series...

The present diploma thesis maps the concepts, characteristic features and cultural-social contexts of functions of the "Do It Yourself" phenomenon. It addresses various interpretations of the phenomenon, it creates general features, and it attempts to define its position based on the experience gained from the research carried out and from the literature studied. It primarily captures the action of the phenomenon during the communist and post-communist era in the Czechoslovak and later the Czech Republic, as well as the influence of various socio-political systems on its appearance. Didactic elaboration of the topic focuses on the application of the DIY principles in teaching activity and it presents an "In & Out" artwork line integrating these ideas into the current conditions of teaching art education. The artwork part represents starting points, the process and the realization of the author's binding of the diploma thesis, which is again based on the application of DIY ideas.
