PT Journal AU Stuchlikova, D TI Historical Development of Terminology of Czech Animated Film in the Period 1919-1990 SO Iluminace PY 2025 BP 123 EP 149 VL 37 IS 1 DI 10.58193/ilu.1801 WP https://iluminace.cz/en/artkey/ilu-202501-0005.php DE Czechoslovak animation; animated film; terminology; history; animation techniques SN 0862397X AB The terms used to describe animation techniques and the form of animation itself have evolved over the course of history and changed considerably, resulting in the existence of synonyms, imprecise definitions, and loose and unanchored use of terms. Through understanding the history of terminology, one can understand the perception of individual techniques and animation in the domestic environment over the years, and the influences that have shaped their concepts and perceptions. This understanding facilitates orientation in the inconsistent use of terminology over almost a century internationally. ER
