dc.description.abstractThe main goal of the research approach is the historical reconstruction and interpretation of the development of the kitsch concept as an aesthetic and art-theory position of thinking about visual culture. According to the hypothesis, kitsch is dialectically related to modernity. It can be proved by dissolving boundaries between kitsch and art, as well as the disappearing of negative connotations connected with kitsch – in the area of visual art practice, as well as in the current discourse of theoretical conceptions of kitsch. Revealing a specific, Central European way of thought on kitsch illustrates that the development and transformation of the concept is more complicated. The contemporary understanding of kitsch can be grasped in two ways: a) as a postmodern, reassessed understanding of kitsch related to a transforming concept of art (from Eurocentric to global); b) as an aesthetic expression of falsehood, beautification of moral failure, which was a striking part of the aesthetic experience from totalitarian societies.en
