In the first semester of this seminar the main attention will be paid to reading and interpretation of the texts closely connected with the origin of Czech Structuralism. We will concentrate on the members of Prague Linguistic Circle and authors of Russian Formalist school. The influence of phenomenological investigations upon formation of Czech Structuralism will be also mentioned. The second semester of this seminar will be devoted to analysis of individual aspects of the aesthetic work of Jan Mukařovský; his conception of mutual relations of aesthetic norm, function and value; his conception of aesthetic object; his notion of semantic gesture; and the relations of art to non-art.
