Abstract

V originále

The profound transformations which cinema underwent during the period 1927-1934 on all levels were defined not only by technological development but also by the discourses (comprised of reviews, theories, advertisements, business decisions, patents etc.), practices (different ways of creation and consumption) and institutions (established media, arts, sciences, legislation, and other social and economic structures) surrounding it and inserting it into the world of everyday life. Cinema s prospect as it stood on the crossroads of alternative possible futures implied different modes of social use and meaning which differed significantly from the institution of silent cinema. In this article I propose a description of five groups of arguments and tropes structuring the film-sound related discourses present in the Czech culture of the late 1920s and early 1930s.
