Back to the Tribe's Womb: Tendencies in Contemporary Culture
Dvořák, Jan ; Činátlová, Blanka (advisor) ; Bílek, Petr (referee)
Michel Maffesoli and Zygmunt Bauman add the traits of Benjamin's flâneur to the (neo-)nomad, namely his "flâneur" gaze and his relation to commodities. But in the concept of nomad these traits gain specific nature - on the field of fashion they transform nomad into migrant, who is capable of creative work with vanitas. Nomad as a travelling flâneur is a stranger-guest and becomes a tourist, willingly getting lost in the city and voluntarily being surprised by unexpected encounters. Tourists relation to his memories could be described with Benjamin's description of mémoire involontaire as a revived punctum. A tourist prepares his memories like a nicely descending ruins. Souvenir is his materialised memory. It's not only a duplicated plastic Eiffel tower, but a magic artifact. It's a collective aura, what's on Benjamin's mind when he writes about aura regression. The private aura comes instead, turning things to talismans, reenchanting the world. The era of postmechanical reproduction reminds one, that there is a way to reproduce not just mechanically but biologically: a bricolage remix is made. Souvenirs descend and take shape of hommogenic rummage which reveals the fundamental form of postmodern metamorphosis: recyclation. This metamorphosis can finally be used when analyzing the settler turn into nomad...

Acquisition of property from unlawful possessor
Hradil, Aleš ; Dvořák, Jan (advisor) ; Elischer, David (referee)
ACQUISITION OF PROPERTY FROM UNLAWFUL POSSESSOR In my diploma thesis I deal with the issue of the acquisition of property from unlawful possessor as an exception to the traditional civil law principle nemo plus iuris ad alium transferre potest quam ipse habet (also called as nemo dat rule), the principle, which lays down that no one can transfer more rights than he has himself. The topic is extremely actual since as of 1st of January 2014 the Act No. 89/2012 Coll., The Civil Code, which - in comparison to the previous legislation - provides diametric changes in the understanding and in the legislation of the property acquisition from unlawful possessor, became effective. Until the adoption of the new Civil Code, the legislation in this area was inadequate and due to dichotomy between Civil and Commercial Code it was also fragmented. The thesis is composed of an introduction, five main chapters (which are further divided into sub-chapters) and a conclusion. Each chapter deals with different aspects of acquisition of property from unlawful possessor. In the first introductory part I give my thesis some theoretical fundamentals and define basic terminology used in this paper: property, good faith. I'm also trying to analyze nemo plus iuris principle and conflict of protection of property rights with the...

Řípa, Jan ; Dvořák, Jan (advisor) ; Elischer, David (referee)
The goal of this diploma thesis was to discuss the issues of testamentary succession, where not only the institute of the last will and testament will be discussed, but also some other legal regulations of the succession rights, that cannot be left out while discussing the issues of testamentary succession. The presented work is devided into six chapters, where the first chapter is started with the introduction word of the author, who introduces the work and puts the reader into the problem. After this a brief digression into the past follows, showing the issues of testamentary succession in the historical context and finally, this chapter is finished with the definition of the valid legal regulation of this time. The second chapter of this work focuses on the main principles of the testamentary succession. Individual principles are named individually and analysed in details, where some of the specific declarations of these rules are explicitly pointed out not only in this chapter, but in the following ones, too. The third chapter focuses in details on individual presumptions that must be individually fullfilled, so that the succession could be possible. These conditions are discussed in individual subchapters called: the death of testator, the existence of decedent's estate, the capacity to inherit, the...

The thesis is composed of three chapters, each of them dealing with different set of "trust" issues. Chapter One is descriptive.

Autonomy of will in private law
Glancová, Eliška ; Dvořák, Jan (advisor) ; Elischer, David (referee)
The principle of autonomy of will is considered to be the crucial principle controlling all private relationships of human life. People in the sense of individuals of private law have opportunity to form their private relationships according to their free will thanks to the autonomy of will, even while within certain predetermined limits. The principle of autonomy of will is closely related to the principle of non-mandatory rule in private law and to the principle of equality, the principle of pacta sunt servanda and to the principle according to a person acts lawfully unless there is a legal rule prohibiting or curtailing that behaviour. The purpose of my thesis is to classify the term autonomy of will in its historical context and its definition in the context of other principles and institutions of private law. The importance of this principle is further illustrated by the specific expressions autonomy of will in our legal system. My thesis is composed of a general part and a special part. The general part is divided into three chapters. Chapter One deals with the historical appearance of autonomy of will from ancient times to modern history, ie from primary manifestations of autonomy of will in the contractual relationships of people to its international establishment. In the chapter Two of the...

Suretyship and financial guarantee
Kašparová, Michaela ; Dvořák, Jan (advisor) ; Elischer, David (referee)
Suretyship and financial guarantee - abstract As a topic of my Thesis I chose two civil and earlier also business law institutes Suretyship and Financial guarantee. I have analyzed the actual meaning of the debt security and its legal instruments in first part of my paper. There was a significant change in the Czech legal order since the new civil code came into power. Before the change, the institute of Suretyship was referred to in the "old" civil code Law no. 40/1960 Coll. for civil right purposes and in business code Law no. 513/1991 Coll. for business law purposes. After the recodification of private law, all legal obligations are now jointly in the "new" civil code Law no. 89/2012 Coll. The second part of my paper was dedicated to an analysis of this change and its impact. I went thru the effective legal treatment of the debt security, explained the effective debt security legal system in the civil code (analyzed the general provisions joint for all security institutes) in the next chapter. Furthemore, I dealt with the first of the security institutes being the topic - suretyship. First, I explained the meaning historical evolution since the Roman law, thru middle age, Austria-Hungary and the last century till today. Afterwards I dealt with the basics of suretyship, focused on the main differences...

Assignment of contract - comparative study
Lobotková, Ivana ; Elischer, David (advisor) ; Dvořák, Jan (referee)
The thesis deals with the legal institution of assignment of contract from comparative point of view. The core of contract assignment lies in the replacement of a contractual party by a third person during the existence of a contractual relationship. As a new institution in Czech civil law introduced by the Civil Code as of 1. January 2014, the topic has not been sufficiently covered in legal theory and therefore its academic elaboration is highly actual. Before the 1 January 2014, the assignment of contract was not expressly recognised by the Civil Code 1964 or the Commercial Code, however the practice often pointed out the lack of legal regulation and looked for other ways to achieve the replacement of the contractual party. The goal of this thesis is to identify the diversities between the chosen legal regulations and to provide an evaluation of the Czech regulation based on comparison with foreign approaches. Comparison with the Italian civil law concept of cessione del contratto was chosen because of its major influence on other European codifications of contract law including the Civil Code 2012. Other regulations, such as the Civil Code of Netherlands, European Contract Code, Principles of European Contract Law, Draft Common Frame of Reference or UNIDROIT Principles of International...
