Josef Čapek (Critical Essay)
KOLDOVÁ, Kateřina
Diploma thesis called Josef Čapek (monographic study)focuses on Josef Čapek's literary discourse. On the one hand it deals with the meanings of topics and motives, which were crucial for Čapek's writing in the relation with the whole author's work, on the other one it concentrates on formal characteristics of Čapek's literary language. Thesis also attempts to answer the question whether Josef Čapek followed contemporary literary tendencies or whether his works differed and if they did, then how. The relationship between Čapek's writing and paintings is also important, therefore the thesis examines whether his painting activity somehow reflected in or even directly influenced his literary works. The whole thesis is divided into eight chapters, by which we suggest to structure also whole Josef Čapek's literary work itself into eight periods and areas. Bibliography, mapping published first editions of his texts, reception and reflection of his literary works, paintings and his own personality, is also important part of the thesis.

The Motif of Vampire in Czech Literature

The observation comes from mythological and traditional conceptions of the vampire character which defined the image of the creature. The attention is also focused on the period trends influencing literature in general and on the application of the motif in foreign literature. The thesis marginally refers to its presentation in the visual arts.

French law juridical institute “fonds de commerce”
Schwarzkopf, Dan ; Švarc, Zbyněk (advisor) ; Grmelová, Nicole (referee)
The thesis deals with French law juridical institute named "fonds de commerce". The thesis aims to describe what "fonds de commerce" is and how it can be disposed of. As there were not any Czech sources describing "fonds de commerce" at large, I had to use mainly French literature. The structure of the thesis is as follows: At first I briefly describe basic characteristics of "fonds de commerce". Then I focus on its elements. And at the end I deal with the possibilities of disposal, namely the sale of "fonds de commerce", company contribution, collateral and its lease. The thesis does not contain any new findings. It just informs about the "fonds de commerce", which has not been described narrowly in Czech yet. However, because of enormous complexity of studied matter and quite limited space I had to omit many details. The thesis thus offers many possibilities for further extensions.
