PT - JOURNAL ARTICLE AU - Stuchlíková, Dita TI - Historical Development of Terminology of Czech Animated Film in the Period 1919-1990 DP - 2025 Jun 11 TA - Iluminace PG - 123--149 VI - 37 IP - 1 AID - 10.58193/ilu.1801 IS - 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.
