| Summary: | The controversy of nudity is a problem lasting for ages. In European context it has started in the Christian era, which has implemented one of the first official censures of the nudity in a society, referring to the moral values. Portraying of the mythological scenes in art was tolerated, however not in a whole European region (e.g. Victorian Era). The method of portraiture was fundamentally changed by the rise of photographs. Portraying photograph is an imprint of the reality and the nude is an instant form of the naturalized representation of a human being. The exactness of portraying a human nudity in the image was controversial and it became a forbidden image which offends morally. The example of limits in photography was chosen the feminine nudes in Czech culture and to a medial discourse. During the 20th century the nude defended its own position in the sphere of honored art. The limits of portraing the nudes remain to a question of a line between the eroticism and the pornography in a public opinion. In the 90s of the 20th century from the point of view of a discourse it came to a considerable relief in a society and a state-controlled censorship was banned. However in the present-day the new trends of censorship keep appearing in a public space because of the local politics and corporations. |
