Between Painting and Deception. Im/material Images of Czech Modernity
The joint study by Lucie Česálková and Kateřina Svatoňová focuses on the specifics of Czech modernism and asks how the politically and socially complicated environment dealt with the tension between the need to saturate the audiovisual-haptic field with new technical, kinetic, dynamic images and attractions and the national revivalist tendency, which drew on the past and tradition. The research is delimited by two major events: the General Land Centennial Exhibition in 1891 and the Exhibition of Architecture and Engineering in 1898.
Keywords: film aesthetics, film science and research, evolution of media, spectatorship, cinema of attractions, national culture and film, exhibitions; modernity and film
