The conception of this subject is based on a supposition that during their previous studies, master's degree students have gone through the course History of photography and therefore they are basically oriented in development of both application of technical innovations in the photography self-conscious process, and in basic trends of photography aesthetic genesis. However, it is necessary, especially during the first semester, to recapitulate this basic awareness and to sort out the so-far acquired knowledge. This approach takes into account the possible differences in the interpretive levels of the development lines occurring in students, considering preferences of the national scenes and the cultural circles they come from, and the nature of their previous bachelor studies. (Summer semester - the second, finalizing set of lectures is focused on analysis and comparison of selected themes - anchored in history, but at the same time, codetermining further direction of current tendencies in contemporary art.) The course content is also based on a supposition that foreign students are not very well oriented in relationships between world development of photography depicting and the development of photography media in the Central European territory, and in the Czech Republic. Besides lectures, tuition is supplemented by visits to the relevant sections of important museums having prestigious works of Czech photography in their collections. During the course, the student will realize several minor seminar works analyzing the relationship between significant figures of world photography and prominent Czech authors. 1. Personal Mythologies. 2. Search for Identity(ies). 3. Legitimity of Intimacy. 5. Man and Society. 6. Roots of Transdisciplinarity. 7. In Action. 8. Believe It or Not. 9. (Too)Artificial. 10. In a Name of Show. 11. Time.
The gained capabilities constitute an encompassment and an aquirement of knowledge and experience in the given field of study, they result from a concrete annotation of the subject and are aimed at a profile´s fulfilment of the graduate of the given field of study.
