Česká teorie fotografie : 40.-60. léta 20. století

Abstract

Česká teorie fotografie má bohatou tradici, během níž dokázala držet krok se světovými vývojovými trendy. Vždy také existovaly osobnosti, které kromě vlastní tvorby zajímaly i teoretické otázky média. V této práci se pokusím prokázat, zda ve sledovaném období 40.- 60. let 20. stol. v Československu existovala česká teorie fotografie. Jako studijní materiál mi bude sloužit odborná literatura a teoretické články o fotografii z periodického tisku. V práci budu rovněž sledovat, jak se na vývoji teorie fotografie projevily společenské a politické změny v tehdejším Československu. Metodou práce bude deskriptivní analýza.
